Thursday will be a strange night. New Year s Eve 2020 will see few sparkly dresses, no public parties spilling into the streets, no crowded bars.
DJs will sit at home twiddling their thumbs like most everyone else with plenty to reflect on, learn from, consider and hope for. Times Square in New York City will be eerily quiet, except for occasional musical performances for TV.
There will be no dehydrated, frozen revelers protecting their cubic foot of personal space for the 12th hour in a row.
And as New York City goes, so will go the Erie region.
A historian, an Episcopal reverend, small business owners and plain old Erie residents of all ages will be sheltering in place.
Expect snow in Erie County and across some other areas of Pennsylvania, in some cases through Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Erie County through 1 p.m. Saturday. Up to 22 inches of snow is expected.
The snow is expected to begin in earnest after 4 p.m. Thursday for much of the county. But just how much snow will we get?
Here are the projected snow totals in Erie County, Pa.
Albion: New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches is possible tonight. Christmas Day snow showers could bring an accumulation of 2 to 4 inches, and Friday night showers could bring another 2 to 4 inches.
