STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - An autumn storm brought snow to parts of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, the earliest snow on record in one town.
The National Weather Service says there's 4.5 inches of snow in State College, Pa., and 2 more inches are possible through Saturday morning. The snow began falling Thursday, breaking the record for the earliest snow since one-tenth of an inch fell on Oct. 18, 1901.
Port Allegany in northwestern Pennsylvania and Perrysburg in western New York both got more than 3 inches of snow, with most areas east of Lake Erie reporting 2 inches or less. Two inches of snow also has fallen in parts of northwest New Jersey.
Lower elevations saw a steady rain. In New Jersey, it caused flooding along the coast.
