The first big snowfall of the season is blanketing towns in upstate New York and northwestern Pennsylvania as the hectic holiday travel and shopping weekend winds down.
By Anthony Izaguirre, Rick Callahan and Carolyn Thompson, Associated PressA person clears the snow from the sidewalk in Lowville, N.Y., on Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024.
“Travel will be extremely difficult and hazardous this weekend, especially in areas where multiple feet of snow may accumulate very quickly,” the National Weather Service said. “It was hard to manage, but we had no choice,” he said. “They just showed up, and we don’t want to turn people away.” This week’s blast of Arctic air also brought bitter temperatures of 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit below average to the Northern Plains, the weather service said, prompting cold advisories for parts of North Dakota.
Twenty-seven inches of snow was on the ground just northeast of Ironwood, in the Upper Peninsula’s western reaches, she said. Another 2 feet fell in Munising, in the eastern part of the peninsula. The snowfall was good news for Treetops Resort, which features 80 acres of ski hill terrain among its 2,000 acres , said Doug Hoeh, the resort’s director of recreation. It boosted the base that snowmaking machines will be adding to in the coming days before the resort opens for the season next weekend.
