What Pennsylvania Law Says About Burning Leaves In Your Yard

A pile of crunchy maple leaves can be perfectly legal to burn in one town and against the rules a few miles away. That patchwork surprised me the first time I looked into it. State environmental rules in Pennsylvania focus heavily on smoke, and some valley regions face much tighter limits than rural hillsides.

Can Centre County expect its first snowfall this weekend? What to know

Centre County has enjoyed an unusually warm fall, but that appears to be coming to an end — at least for a weekend. Temperatures in the State College area are predicted to approach freezing Friday night and dip below freezing at around 26 degrees Saturday night. But, despite early forecast models that prematurely predicted several inches of snow, AccuWeather meteorologist Alex DaSilva said there likely won’t be any significant snowfall in Happy Valley. It’s still possible, DaSilva said, that State College might technically record its first snowfall of the year Friday into Saturday. But, with minimal precipitation, he’s projecting it would likely amount to one-tenth of an inch or a trace of snow, the latter of which would technically not qualify as the season’s first snowfall because it must be a measurable amount. “I’m not ruling that out,” DaSilva told the CDT, referring to a measurable one-tenth of an inch. “I just don’t think people should expect to wake up Saturday morning, look outside and see white.” Last year, the first measurable snowfall came Nov. 10 at a half-inch. In 2024, it was Nov. 24. And, in 2023, it was Halloween on Oct. 31. If locals don’t experience a measurable

Pa. updates veterans’ benefit rules in biggest changes in 35 years

Annville, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs has updated regulations for several state benefit programs in what it calls the most extensive changes to Pennsylvania veterans’ benefits in 35 years. The changes broaden and clarify eligibility requirements, change income limits and add cost-of-living expense allowances in need-based programs, the department said Nov. 2, during National Veterans and Military Families Month. Programs affected include the Disabled Veterans’ Real Estate Tax Exemption, the Amputee & Paralyzed Veterans’ Pension, the Blind Veterans’ Pension, Veterans’ Temporary Assistance and the Educational Gratuity program. “What this means is that Pennsylvania’s nearly 650,000 veterans will have greater access to benefits they have earned in service to this nation,” said Maj. Gen. John Pippy, Pennsylvania’s adjutant general and head of the department. “We look forward to our continued work with the General Assembly on constitutional and statutory amendments to further broaden eligibility for the benefits programs.” The department suggests veterans contact their county director of veterans affairs or any certified veteran service officer to learn how the changes may affect their benefits. There is no charge for a benefits review or for help applying. Updated application documents and more information are available from the
