JOHNSTOWN — As the Cambria-Somerset region digs out of one of the worst snowstorms in recent history, more snow is headed this way with winter expected to land another punch beginning Tuesday.

The next storm will move in midday and drop four to eight inches of fresh snow on the region by the time it moves out Wednesday.

Higher elevations can expect a foot or more of new snow, AccuWeather meteorologist Mike Pigott said Sunday.

“Then it will turn very, very cold and get really windy,” Pigott said of expected gusts up to 40 miles per hour.

Temperatures expected to be in the lower

teens coupled with the wind will make it feel

minus 5 degrees, he said.

The latest storm comes on the heels of one that dumped 28 inches of snow on the Johnstown area Friday and Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

The storm all but crippled cities to the southeast, including Washington D.C. where Washington Dulles International Airport canceled all flights Saturday and were slow in opening Sunday.

The John P. Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport saw no incoming commuter flights Sunday, in part because of a decision at Dulles to limit flights to larger aircraft.

Local runway issues also played a role, airport Manager Scott Voelker said.

“It’s a combination of both. Today we just got the runway open,” he said.

The hope is all flights will be on schedule today or Tuesday, Voelker said.

An investigation has been launched to determine if weather played a role in the derailment of 113 cars of a 130-car train on CSX lines in Meyersdale, southern Somerset County.

CSX spokesman Robert Sullivan said the Saturday morning accident involved cars carrying coal from Newell, Fayette County, to Baltimore.

“They’re working to clear it up. It’s a slow process affected by the weather,” he said.

Estimates are that it will be a few days until this mainline of the railroad is reopened, Sullivan said.

There were no injuries reported, he said.

Cleanup of another kind was on the minds of highway workers at the state and local level Sunday.

A 10-mile stretch of the westbound lane of the Pennsylvania Turnpike between Somerset and Donegal was closed for 13 hours Saturday before reopening around 8 p.m.

Several accidents, including overturned tractor-trailers blamed on the heavy snowfall blocked the toll road. A number of trucks and other disabled vehicles remained parked along the highway Sunday night.

PennDOT spokeswoman Tara Callahan-Henry said most major highways in the region are clear, but there is still work needed on secondary roads.

“Some of the busiest roads got hard packed,” she said of a number of highways which remain snow and ice covered with a hard surface.

A number of city streets have what public works Director Darby Sprincz described as a washboard effect.

The initial snow was relatively wet followed by dropping temperatures and significantly more snow.

Plows moved the significant accumulation but could not break through the hard snow on the road surface, he said.

Sprincz is asking city residents to follow the streetsweeper schedule and move off the streets according to the posted instructions.

Plans are to move as much snow off the streets as possible, he said.

City crews started Friday afternoon and worked around the clock through Sunday, when they started on secondary streets and alleys, Sprincz said.

“In some areas the streets are snow covered, but passable,” he said.

The Galleria in Richland Township closed Saturday, but reopened Sunday

with a significant number of shoppers out, said Galleria employee Brittany Silko.

“It’s been pretty busy, pretty much all day,” she said.

Accidents and fires were at a minimum Saturday and Sunday with the greatest number of calls into the Cambria County 911 dispatch center coming from people complaining about unplowed roads, Brian Feist, Cambria County Emergency Services director said.
