The wider storm

A panhandle hook low pressure system moved northeast into the Great Lakes region on December 31, deepening as it moved north of Lake Erie on the evening of the 31st. This low extended a cold front across northwest Pennsylvania, early on the 1st. Strong winds along and behind this front downed trees and power lines across the area, prompting widespread power outages.
