Police say that drug paraphernalia was in reaching distance of the baby’s crib, and an uncapped syringe was found in a trash basket in the room.

What Happened? Forecaster From NWS Explains Why Snow Missed Beaver County
As a major winter storm began to move into the Northeast, many people in Beaver County and in the city of Pittsburgh awoke this morning asking, ” Where’s the snow?” The same powerful nor’easter that’s expected to bring a foot or more of snow to eastern Pennsylvania and points along the mid-Atlantic delivered nothing to our area. This morning, Beaver County Radio newsman Pat Septak spoke with Lee Hendricks of the National Weather Service and asked him why so many forecasters got it wrong this time. Hendricks called it a “complicated situation” that caused the snow to miss us. But he warned our listeners: Don’t expect Beaver County to dodge the snow for much longer. He expects to see more widespread snowfall this afternoon.
