Blizzard 2016: When Will All Of This Snow Melt?

You had your share of a winter wonderland this weekend. A very large winter wonderland. With a lot of snow.

But how long until this white landscape turns back to normal?

Some parts of Pennsylvania got more than 30 inches of snow during the weekend blizzard. It’s not going away overnight.

But there is some good news. A warming trend this week will lessen that pile of snow at the end of your driveway. Temperatures mid-week will go up to the high 30s. By the weekend, we can expect highs in the mid 40s. The Weather Channel’s 10-day forecast is calling for temperatures in the mid 50s next week.

“There will be a brief rebound to near- or slightly above-normal temperatures, which could help to melt some of the snow,” according to information from Accuweather.

Don’t forget to wear your boots because that snow will turn to slush, first.

”Rain and mild air moving across the area could also help eat away at the edges of snow mounds and will make for a considerable amount of slush for those getting around on foot,” Accuweather says.

More good news for those of you who don’t feel like shoveling again this week: a storm that threatened more snow in the area will stay out to sea on Friday, according to Accuweather.

Here is the forecast for the rest of the week throughout the region:

Tonight: A chance of showers, mainly before 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 30. Northwest wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
