After another snowstorm that limited travel and closed schools on the East Coast, warmer temperatures should offer a reprieve.

Temperatures, which were above freezing on Tuesday, should keep rising to the 40s or mid-50s for the rest of the week, The Associated Press reported.

Tuesday's storm brought unusual "thundersnow" as well as several inches of snow to the East Coast, forcing slower speeds on Pennsylvania highways and closing schools in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

The bout of winter weather should be over for now.

"We're looking at a relatively short duration event," the National Weather Service's John Cristantello told the AP.

Parts of western Pennsylvania received around 6 inches of snow, while about 2 inches fell outside New York City, according to the National Weather Service.

Pittsburg and the area northeast of the city was hit by "thundersnow," which is heavy snow mixed with thunder.

Pennsylvania Turnpike officials imposed speed limits of 45 mph for the 360-mile highway, which were later lifted for nearly all of the system. Due to a series of crashes that left 30 people injured last week, the interstate section right outside Philadelphia kept the lower speed limit.

An especially rough winter has wrought havoc around the country. Several inches of snow on Monday forced Chicago's two airports to cancel more than 1,000 flights, the AP reported.

When the storm swept through the South last week, around 1.2 million utility customers lost power. At least 25 deaths ranging from Texas to Maine have been blamed on wintry conditions.

This month has been the second-snowiest February on record for New York City, according to NBC News. Central Park has seen more than 28 inches of snow this month, coming in at No. 2 to February 2010, which had a whopping 36.9 inches.
