A storm whirling in from the Gulf of Mexico is expected to dump snow in the Johnstown area later today, according to AccuWeather.
“We’re going to see about 1 to 3 inches of snow across the area later Monday into Tuesday,” Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert said. “The storm is coming in from the Gulf Coast and pushing up the East Coast.”
High temperatures will reach the mid-30s with west winds about 5 mph.
Little snow can be expected later in the week.
“There might be some snow on Wednesday and Thursday, but no accumulation,” Reppert said.
The weeks ahead are expected to provide a respite for Cambria and Somerset counties.
“We’re not expecting any major storms in the next few weeks,” Reppert said.

Historian collecting ship hotel memories
BEDFORD – Historian Brian Butko is writing a book about the S.S. Grand View Point Hotel near Bedford and is looking for recollections about the once-popular site.

The tourist attraction was destroyed by fire in 2001.
Residents who have an interesting story or photo of the old ship are asked to write to Butko in care of Heinz History Center, 1212 Smallman St., Pittsburgh, Pa. 15222.
