Another winter burst comes through Butler County
Western Pennsylvania is seeing the onslaught of another cold front, which has brought with it a wintry mix of rain and snow that probably won’t be hazardous but is an unwelcome guest to many hoping for spring.
The return of snow and below-freezing temperatures well into April isn’t uncommon in the region, and according to National Weather Service meteorologist Michael Brown, a small winter storm rolled through Butler County on April 21 last year.
Brown said this cold snap could be a last gasp of the winter season.
“Our last flakes of the year are typically in April,” Brown said. “I don't know if we are going to have much colder weather than what we are experiencing now. We're going to warm up toward the end of the week.”
