WPCNR WEATHER SCOOP. By John F. Bailey & National Weather Service. January 27, 2004: Snow arrived at 7:00 P.M. in White Plains. As of 11:30 P.M. E.S.T. snowfall at WPCNR News Center had accumulated to 3-1/2 inches with snow falling a little less than an inch an hour and the temperature was 20 degrees (the high of the day). Snow was wet and roads throughout most of south and east end of the city were snowcovered and treacherous with little traction by midnight. (You never know how hilly White Plains roads are until they have 3 inches of snow covering them, then they turn into the Rocky Mountains). The "White Phantom" from the Middle West radar check revealed that snow covered the tri-state area with moderate snow extending West to Trenton, where it turned to light snow Westward to Allentown and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The complete National Weather Service Forecast:
