Heavy Snow in Southern Centre, Pennsylvania

Storm total snow accumulations ranged from 8 to 10 inches.

The largest snow-producing storm of the 2013-2014 winter season affected much of central Pennsylvania on 13 February 2014. The heavy snow was produced by a strong coastal low pressure system that moved northeastward from the Virginia Capes over the Delmarva peninsula. A heavy deformation snow band pivoted slowly to the northwest during the day, and persisted over the central zones into the evening before dissipating. The snow ended across the region by midnight on 14 February 2014.

Total snow accumulations generally ranged from 12 to 18 inches over the south-central and lower Susquehanna Valley zones with locally higher amounts (21.6 inches in Glencoe, Somerset County; 19.5 inches in Shrewsbury, York County). Snow amounts of 6 to 12 inches fell over the central ridge-valley region into the mid/upper Susquehanna valley, while 2 to 5 inches were common reports in the northwest mountains.
