A long-duration winter storm produced widespread snowfall across central Pennsylvania from January 31 to February 2, 2021. Although the snow began on January 31st, warning criteria was not met in any central Pennsylvania counties until February 1st or 2nd. Widespread snowfall amounts of 10-15 inches were observed, with more than 20 inches of accumulation in portions of Schuylkill County. This was a Miller Type B storm, with the primarily low pushing up the Ohio Valley before a center-jump to the Mid-Atlantic coast was observed. Snow was the predominant precipitation type, although the Lower Susquehanna Valley had a several hour period of light wintry mix before the coastal low strengthened. The system then very slowly pulled east-northeastward along the southern New England coast and out to sea.
