Some light snow lingered into Wednesday, making it four-straight days of snowfall in some neighborhoods.
Remember to take breaks while shoveling, since the snow could be heavy, and don't over do it, especially if you have health conditions. This heavy snow is sometimes referred to as "heart attack" snow, so be very careful and pace yourself.
Weather Stories
The storm claimed a life as it roared. A 67-year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease was found dead Monday morning in Allentown after reportedly wandering away from her home. The Lehigh County coroner’s office determined the cause of death to be hypothermia and the death was ruled accidental.
