Well, our White Christmas came one month late.

Sunday brought several inches of snow across the region – with several more to come into Monday.

Early in the day Sunday, Washington County already had 4 inches.

Jason Frazier, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, said by Monday that the county will see another four inches. Greene and Fayette counties, however, had about two to three inches of snow by Sunday morning, and will have another one to three inches by Monday.

“Snow will taper off through Monday. Heavier snow showers could continue Monday afternoon,” Frazier said.

According to Frazier, high temperatures Sunday afternoon could lead to sleet and freezing rain before turning back to snow at night.

“If you don’t have to travel, stay home,” Frazier said.

Public safety agencies suggested that most were doing just that. Richard Policz, director of the Greene County Emergency Management Agency, said there had not been many calls Sunday morning.

“Knock on wood, everybody’s abiding by the recommendations of staying in. Not much traffic out,” Policz said.

Supervisors at the 911 centers in Washington and Fayette counties reported much of the same.

Fayette County District Attorney Michael Aubele said that the courthouse and county offices will be closed on Monday.

Claysville resident Keaton Naeser is prepared to brave the snow to help people clear their driveways and sidewalks.

He posted to Facebook an offer to help anyone who may not be able to handle the large amount of snow themselves.

“I plan on going out more (Monday). If anybody needs it done, I plan on going out, go down and get their stuff taken care of. Make sure they can get in and out of their house,” Naeser said.

According to Frazier, after two days of heavy snowfalls temperatures are expected to plummet on Tuesday. He said to expect the temperatures to be around 0 degrees with a wind chill making it feel like 20 below 0.

Most churches in the region closed on Sunday or had services online only. On Friday, Bishop Mark Eckman of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh granted a dispensation for parishioners to attend Mass on Sunday. In a statement, the diocese said “No one should place themselves or others at risk due to dangerous weather.”

Almost all businesses also shuttered. There were a few exceptions, though – the Hollywood Casino at the Meadows in North Strabane still had slots available all day Sunday, and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet in Uniontown was open, though they had no shovels or salt for sale.
