Winter storm in Pennsylvania

SOMERSET, PENNSYLVANIA - FEBRUARY 6: Traffic moves through the mountains surrounded by iced trees Thursday morning after freezing rain fell on the area Wednesday night before heading east on February 6, 2025 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Millions of people have been put on alert as the storm moves into New England. (Photo by Jeff Swensen/Getty Images)

On February 2, 2025, a period of snow and freezing drizzle caused slippery travel across north-central Pennsylvania. AccuWeather was the first known source to provide an accurate forecast of the snowy and icy conditions, correctly predicting the impacts a day in advance of the National Weather Service (NWS), which did not issue a Winter Weather Advisory until after the precipitation had already begun in many places.

• AccuWeather provided 24 hours of advance notice of slippery travel across north-central Pennsylvania while the NWS did not issue a Winter Weather Advisory until the precipitation had already started and untreated roads were already slippery. 

- The NWS issued a Winter Weather Advisory at 2 p.m. on Sunday after the precipitation had already begun in many places and some surfaces were already slippery. AccuWeather users benefited from an additional day of advance notice. 

• On Saturday, Feb. 1, AccuWeather was the first known source to correctly predict that a coating to an inch of snow would create slippery travel along and north of I-80 in Pennsylvania. The NWS first included a snowfall accumulation in their forecast two hours later. 

• AccuWeather was also the only known source to provide advance notice that freezing drizzle could occur as well. 

• A forecast provided to an AccuWeather customer correctly predicted the start time of 1 p.m. across much of north-central Pennsylvania. 

• AccuWeather was the only known source to state that “untreated surfaces can be slippery”,adding this language to its Sunday night forecast on Saturday, Feb. 1, at noon, 24 hours in advance. 

More than 100 times every year, AccuWeather has been documented as providing more accurate, more advanced notifications of significant and extreme weather events that impact businesses and threaten the health, welfare and lives of individuals. AccuWeather has proven to be the most accurate source of weather forecasts and warnings.  

These are additional examples of the many weather events in which AccuWeather provided superior forecasts and impact descriptions to people, communities and businesses, helping them better prepare and stay safe.  

Virtually eliminate being caught off guard by snow and ice. Contact AccuWeather today to learn more about AccuWeather's Snow Warning Service.
