Are you disappointed there's no snow accompanying these frigid temperatures? Well, that's likely to change this week.
The Harrisburg area could get between 1 and 3 inches of snow starting Friday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service in State College. The snow is expected to begin falling after 2 p.m., but it's most likely we'll be on the lower end of that 1- to 3-inch estimate, meteorologist Kevin Fitzgerald said.
There's also flurries predicted after 2 a.m. Thursday, but no significant accumulation is expected.
It's expected to warm up slightly next week with forecasters calling for a high of 32 degrees Monday, 41 degrees Tuesday and 48 degrees Wednesday.
