Admittedly, the last three winters have been rather quiet in the Susquehanna Valley, but come Saturday, for most of the area, it will be looking more like a typical January.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) Officials in Philadelphia have lifted the snow emergency that was in place due to Thursday s winter storm.
The Streets Department will continue salting and plowing until roads are made passable for safe traveling. Parking is now permitted again along snow emergency routes.
The snowfall stopped around 1:30 p.m. Thursday in South Philadelphia, and most major roadways in the city were passable. Motorists should allow extra time, exercise patience and maintain safe driving distances. Black ice on the roadway remains an issue for vehicular traffic, and the region is still under a wind advisory, with the possibility of downed trees and power lines, said Managing Director Tumar Alexander.
As we track more snow, we have another warning: new research suggests winter weather can be hard on the heart. Here are some symptoms to look out for.
At Stanley s True Value Hardware in Philadelphia s Roxborough section, people were stocking up on salt and ice melt. It s been selling regularly all day and of course the supply is dwindling, but we still have some, said manager Al Powell. It s crazy, we ve been getting storm after storm after storm. It s starting to get old, said Kirk Spingler of Roxborough. I know, I m done with it, said Maureen Brown of Roxborough.
There was also a run on shovels because apparently, the storms have taken their toll on many of them.
