Snow came early and steady this morning, Tuesday, Feb. 9, putting down a layer of snow on most roads before plows and salt crews got out, and causing most area schools to close.

View the list of school closings.

Light powdery snow reached the area just after midnight, according to Myron Padgett, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wilmington. The Winter Storm Warning has been extended through Thursday until 6 p.m., he said. Padgett said he expects 2 to 4 inches during the day for the whole area today, with totals of 4 to 8 inches for the total snowfall through tomorrow.

Highs today are expected to be in the lower 30s, Padgett said, with lows 15 to 20 degrees. A low pressure system is moving through the area from the Mississippi Valley, he said.

Wednesday’s high should be in the upper 20s, with lows at night from 15 to 20 degrees, he said. There’s a chance of snow Wednesday night and a slight chance of snow Thursday, Padgett said. Thursday’s high should be in the mid 20s with a low at night of 10 degrees.

Friday should be partly cloudy with highs in the upper 20s and a low around 10 degrees at night. No snow is expected Friday, Saturday or Sunday, Padgett said. The weekend should have high temperatures in the upper 20s.

MM,

You are correct. 747 is in Butler County. Butler County has nothing to do with it. You are welcome to call West Chester Township and complain. They wanted it, they got it.

Oh Buggar!

I used to have young people come around every time it snowed, wanting to earn some money shoveling snow. In the past couple of years, there hasn't been anybody. I have had 3 back surgeries, and would gladly pay to have my walkway and driveway shoveled. Instead, I have really messed myself up, trying to do it myself. Like your parents, I don't have anyone living close enough to help me.

REPORT ABUSE

I was wondering if any students could work for their community service hours by shoveling snow for seniors in the community. Both of my parents are in their 80's. I work and do not live close to them. I'm sure there are many seniors in Hamilton who could use this help. No one even came around offering to shovel for a price, which they would have paid. Perhaps the Council for Ageing or another agency could have a list of senior that need help in this type of emergency.
