EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA A monster of a winter storm that has blanketed the region since Sunday will finally come to an end Tuesday. Some parts of Eastern Pennsylvania have already received more than 30 inches of snow as of early Tuesday, and more accumulation is possible.
The National Weather Service said periods of light snow will continue throughout the day Tuesday, with 1 to 3 inches of additional snow expected. Snow will taper off in the late afternoon and the storm will be completely offshore by midnight.
Monday:
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA Several inches of snow has piled up across Montgomery County, as the region braces for the next wave of a powerful winter storm that began Sunday afternoon and is expected to continue through early Tuesday.
The area above the I-276 corridor is expected to receive larger snow totals as Monday wears on into Tuesday, the Montgomery County Department of Public Safety said. Anywhere from four to 12 more inches is possible. The county s Code Blue cold weather emergency declaration was extended through Thursday, Feb. 4 at 10 a.m. due to the forecasted continued snow and cold. Our Roads and Bridges crews are dealing with high winds, frozen rain, and snow, a county spokesperson said in a statement at around 3:45 p.m. Monday. We are seeing heavy accumulations of ice and snow on our roads.
Much has been said about effective leadership during the days surrounding Jan. 20âs presidential inauguration. Locally, newly-elected student officers at Central Montco Technical High School and classmates from their sending schools view it this way:
âA common thread that you will find in all leaders is the ability to be self-aware and possess good communication skills and integrity,â says Cameron Johnson, co-president of Norristown Area High Schoolâs Class of 2021.
Combined, these qualities âare the core of a true leader,â observes Johnson, a CMTHS Allied Health major and active HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) member, president of CMTHSâs National Technical Honor Society and vice-president of NAHSâs Black Student Union.

NORRISTOWN â The fact that Beatriz Alcala-Ascension, a Norristown Area High School senior, will be welcomed into the fold of a prestigious Ivy League university on a scholarship reflects not only her academic strengths but other factors as well, noted Christopher Dormer, Superintendent of Norristown Area School District.
âI know that Beatriz is an outstanding kid. For someone to be matched to Princeton and be able to pursue a dream of an Ivy League education, we couldnât be happier for her,â Dormer said.
âI donât have to tell you how competitive it is for that kind of acceptance at an Ivy League school. A student of that caliber that came through our school system, selfishly I think it shows the quality educational program that weâre able to provide that we have a student that has developed the kind of academic profile that Princeton University wants.â
