More winter weather has arrived in Centre County. Here’s what’s closed Thursday
After ice caused messy roads on Tuesday, the latest round of winter weather started early Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory on Wednesday for areas including Centre County, predicting 4-6 inches of snow. Accuweather predicted 4-8 inches from late Wednesday night to Friday morning.
“The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission remind motorists to adjust speeds based on driving conditions as winter weather impacts will include snow covered roads and limited visibility,” the NWS’ winter weather advisory stated.
All five school districts in Centre County closed their buildings Thursday.
State College and Penns Valley students shifted to remote learning, and Bellefonte and BEA students had a Flexible Instruction Day. Philipsburg-Osceola students had a virtual learning day.
Penn State also canceled in-person classes and other in-person activities through 5 a.m. Friday.
Harris and College townships issued a snow emergency as of 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., respectively, meaning all vehicles must be removed from municipal roads until they are cleared or the snow ceases.
