Each year, the first true cold arrives not as a gradual transition but as a threshold crossed — and Pennsylvania is crossing one this weekend. An arctic air mass, carrying the temperament of mid-January, is descending on the state in early November, bringing with it the season's first snow chances and overnight lows in the 20s. It is a reminder that nature does not consult the calendar, and that winter, when it decides to arrive, tends to make its presence known.
