Warmer, windier weather was expected to push stagnant, pollution-laden air out of Lancaster County by today, ending a two-day stretch in which poor air quality presented a health risk to sensitive groups.
The conditions were blamed on almost-windless, wintry weather, and itâs a problem that the region likely will experience again before the end of the season, according to Richard Clark, chair of Earth Sciences at Millersville University, where he teaches meteorology.
âItâs not uncommon,â he said. âItâll happen again this winter.â
Clark shared his prediction Monday, the same day that officials at the state Department of Environmental Protection ordered a âcode orangeâ air quality warning for parts of southern Pennsylvania, including Lancaster County.

A 72.6-megawatt Hancock County wind energy farm, which twice failed to get developed, is now operating and online.
Fengate Asset Management, a Toronto-based investment firm and the current owner of the Weaver Wind project, made the announcement last week in a news release.
“Fengate is very pleased the Weaver Wind project is operational,” said Greg Calhoun, Fengate s managing director. “This project provides a new source of clean, reliable energy for Maine and is a significant renewable energy investment for our investors.”
The wind farm includes 22 turbines in the sparsely populated towns of Eastbrook and Osborn, which each cover about 40 square miles but together number fewer than 500 residents.
Who, in their right mind, saw it coming?
After a relatively quiet, rather “normal” first quarter, we all learned of a “new normal” that would reshape just about every aspect of daily life for those lucky enough survive the global pandemic known as COVID-19.
But first a little happiness arrived before the sorrow.
Following the New Year’s celebrations and promise to commit to resolutions, the first baby of the year was born at UPMC Susquehanna.
The baby arrived shortly before 5 a.m. Jan. 2. The story, aptly written by veteran newspaper man Philip A. Holmes, the lead police and fire reporter for the Sun-Gazette, described how Dusty Harkey was 37 weeks pregnant when she walked into the Williamsport Regional Medical Center’s Birthplace.

Maine environmental regulators are postponing the start date for bans on single-use plastic carry-out bags and on polystyrene containers.
The Department of Environmental Protection says the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for groceries by curbside pickup and for takeout food. That’s in turn increased demand for paper bags, multi-use plastic bags, and nonpolystyrene food packaging, which are alternatives for the containers scheduled to be banned.
The department announced on Tuesday, that bans slated to go into effect Jan. 15 will be postponed until July 1.
