Keep those shovels and snow blowers handy because more snow is on the way later this week for parts of Pennsylvania.

The state is slated to get snow beginning Wednesday and into Thursday morning, with some areas expecting a few inches, according to the National Weather Service. The snow is expected to begin later in the day Wednesday. Areas near Philadelphia will likely see a change over to rain, with mostly snow expected in Central Pa.

This follows a nor'easter that hit much of the Northeast over that weekend. That storm brought wintry conditions and heavy snow, with some areas of the state reporting up to 20 inches before the storm tapered off Monday.
