Butler County residents are beginning to feel the effects of dropping temperatures and fluctuating periods of snow as winter weather sets in across the area.

The chance for snow accumulation and wind gusts as high as 40 mph prompted the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh to send out a winter weather advisory on Thursday morning that will remain in effect through 7 a.m. Friday.

West Penn Power and Central Electric Cooperative reported a combined total of nearly 400 outages, most of them being in Bruin and Summit Township. All power was restored, though, as of Thursday afternoon.

Butler Area School District, Butler County Area Vocational-Technical School, Freeport Area School District, Karns City Area School District, Knoch School District, Mars Area School District, Moniteau School District, Seneca Valley School District and Slippery Rock Area School District all operated on two-hour delays Thursday, while Allegheny-Clarion Valley School District canceled school.
