Pennsylvania's outage risk is driven by Atlantic Nor'easters and heavy wet-snow and ice accumulation across its densely wooded terrain, plus summer thunderstorm and remnant-hurricane wind damage that regularly downs trees onto distribution lines; Philadelphia's dense urban grid sees frequent downed-limb outages, Pittsburgh's hilly, river-valley terrain adds prolonged restoration times after ice storms, and Reading's inland location in the Schuylkill Valley shares similar central-PA ice-storm exposure.
