With knee-high levels of snow around, some local houses of worship have already canceled services and other activities this evening and Sunday.
Others are urging congregants to check their Web sites for updates later.
The Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg lifted the obligation of Catholics in the York and Adams deaneries to attend Mass for the weekend because of the snow emergency, according to the Rev. Robert M. Gillelan Jr. and Joseph Gotwalt, deans of York and Adams, respectively.
Saturday confessions and 5 p.m. Mass at Gillelan's parish, St. Mary's Church in York, were canceled.
At Freedom Valley Worship Center near Gettysburg, the Rev. Gerry Stoltzfoos put a call out on Twitter for help digging out the church:
As of 3pm, our driveways at church are still hopelessly closed in. Big equipment is on its way, however. If you got a plow truck, bring it!
