Increasing moisture into the region with temperatures near freezing at the surface allowed for a wintry mix to begin across central Pennsylvania during the early morning hours of March 3, 2026. A warm nose just above the surface allowed for freezing rain at onset and throughout much of the event outside of portions of northwestern Pennsylvania where snowfall was the predominant precipitation type. Freezing rain accretions were mainly between one-to-two tenths of an inch across the region, allowing for slick conditions. Incidents in Clearfield, Clinton, and Lancaster counties produced multiple injuries during the morning hours of March 3rd before precipitation began to taper off during the afternoon and evening hours.
