Another snowstorm to hit Bucks County. When will temperatures rise? See latest forecast
Bucks County ended its snow drought Monday and don't expect too much of it to melt away before we're hit with Round 2 on Friday.
Cold blast hit Bucks County Wednesday
Before Bucks, which is under a winter weather advisory through early Saturday, sees more snow, we'll have to deal with a cold blast. Lows Wednesday morning were around 12-13 degrees with single-digit wind chills before peaking at 24 degrees Wednesday mid-afternoon.
Despite sunny skies, it will not really feel milder today. After lows in the single digits & teens this morning, highs will struggle to get out of the mid-20s across most of our region. A westerly breeze will add to the chill. #pawx #mdwx #dewx #njwx pic.twitter.com/n32dqTXbi2
