"Winter Storm Blankets Philadelphia Area, Causes Power Outages and School Closures"

A coastal storm brought nearly a foot of snow to the Lehigh Valley, causing the biggest snowfall of the season and widespread power outages. The snow has moved out of the area, but its effects are still being felt, with downed trees and power lines. Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing, leading to icy conditions. The storm prompted school closures, snow emergencies, and disruptions to transportation services. The National Weather Service had initially underestimated the snowfall, leading to increased projections. Snow is expected to continue in the region with a slight chance on Thursday and Saturday.
