A frigid arctic cold front bringing record cold temperature has blanketed the northern Unites States this week. Erie, Pennsylvania has been hit with more than 5 feet of snow since Christmas, a record accumulation, even for a city accustomed to heaps of “lake effect” snowfall.
As of today (Dec. 28) the snow has ceased, and the digging out has begun.
