Snow continues to fall in Erie, Pennsylvania, and surrounding areas that already have seen a record amount of snow over the past few days, prompting a disaster emergency declaration.
Erie County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper signed a declaration of disaster emergency which she said would allow “needed resources to be obtained.”
Emergency management coordinator Dale Robinson says that will allow officials to bring in some National Guard resources with forecasters predicting more snow Wednesday.
The storm brought 34 inches of snow on Monday, an all-time daily snowfall record for Erie. Another 24.5 inches fell by Tuesday night, bringing the total since Dec. 23 to more than 62.9 inches.
Erie has issued a snow emergency, citing “dangerous and impassable” roads. Officials urged people to avoid travel.

What happened to Global Warming?
Good point Seichel. An isolated snow storm is strong evidence that the average temperature of the Earth’s climate over the course of many years is not occurring.
@ Seichel A local event does not prove or disprove Global Warming. It’s foolish to think otherwise.
Isolated snow storm! Erie is situated in the snowbelt which in itself gets alot of snow. That area has set a number of records in the past few years. So please get your facts straight before you post.
global warming is hot hot hot, at least by the activists, but on the ground we see winter cold cold and colder…..
