Some awake to May snow showers

It was like some sort of time warp.

Weather beyond the maps: Rare, but not unheard of

People living in the higher elevations of Centre County — such as one CDT staffer who lives in Philipsburg — awoke to find snow on the ground this morning, and temperatures at 8 a.m. were in the 30s.

The high temperature today is expected to reach only to 45, with the wet, cold rain continuing.

It seems more like February than May, but AccuWeather's Elliott Abrams, in a weather report on the radio this morning, said this doesn't set any records for late snowfall -- snow has been recorded as late as early June, he said.

Things should improve tomorrow, when the sun reappears and temperatures rebound to near 70 degrees.
