Snow removal in Allentown, PA
Snow shoveling in Allentown, on demand
Allentown is a city of rowhomes and twins with long runs of sidewalk along the street, so clearing snow usually means a front walk, a stretch of public sidewalk and sometimes a car parked at the curb. The city ties its sidewalk deadline to when the National Weather Service at the local airport reports that precipitation has ended, and it does not allow sidewalk snow to be pushed into the street.

Winter in Allentown: snow, ice and sidewalks
The Lehigh Valley gets much of its snow from coastal storms and nor'easters, and the rain and snow line often sets up nearby, so storms can bring a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain. Temperatures often hover near freezing, which makes heavy, wet snow and refreezing slush common.
Typical snowfall. Allentown's official station at Lehigh Valley International Airport averages about 33 inches of snow a season (33.1 inches, 1991-2020 normals). Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020 (annual/seasonal).
