Subfreezing lows will be left in the wake of an icy coastal storm moving out to sea, but Northeast residents will no doubt welcome the chance to finish cleaning up in relatively dry conditions after the devastating blizzards in the middle of last week.

Companies expecting to draw natural gas from Pennsylvania’s prolific Marcellus Shale should be prepared to pay a severance tax, offer jobs to the state’s residents and abide by a growing list of regulations, according to members of a panel who spoke earlier this month at “Marcellus Shale Opportunities & Challenges,” the first in a series of forums presented by Marywood University in Scranton, PA.
