Record low temperatures were set at several locations around the Pittsburgh metro area on May 9 as snow fell in Pennsylvania and other northeastern states, according to the National Weather Service. Most of the cold temperatures can be attributed to a polar vortex moving through the region, including parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. The National Weather Service’s Mount Holly office recorded temperatures in the low 30s, some going below freezing into the mid-to-high 20s, across the northeast. The polar vortex also brought cold and snow squalls to parts of Canada, according to reports. Local resident Robert Fink captured this video of snow falling in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. “Are we absolutely sure it is May,” wrote Fink on Twitter. Credit: Robert Fink via Storyful
