"Pennsylvania's forecast is split between two regions in the Old Farmer's Almanac: the Appalachians and the Ohio Valley. In the Appalachian region-which includes cities such as Harrisburg and Scranton-temperatures are expected to run below normal, with the coldest stretches hitting mid- and late December, early and late January, and early February. Precipitation in this area will be below normal overall, but snowfall will vary by location. Northern Pennsylvania should see lighter-than-usual snow, while southern and mountain areas could receive heavier totals."
"In the western part of the state, which falls under the Ohio Valley region, the Almanac predicts a generally chilly season with below-normal temperatures and dry conditions. Snowfall will be near to above normal in the east and lighter toward the west. Altogether, Pennsylvania can expect a cold, classic winter, especially across the central and eastern highlands."
Most areas nationwide are expected to see near-normal to slightly milder temperatures, while the Appalachians and Ohio Valley will trend colder and snowier. Pennsylvania is divided between the Appalachian region, with below-normal temperatures and the coldest stretches in mid/late December, early/late January, and early February, and the Ohio Valley, which will be generally chilly and dry. Precipitation and snowfall will vary by location: northern counties likely lighter snow, southern and mountain areas heavier totals. Snowiest periods are late December, late January, and February. Residents should prepare heating systems early and keep de-icing supplies on hand.
