I'll tell ya. I'm right on the edge (due to elevation of course) but while I mostly rain, the whole I-81 corridor from Tremont/Tower City up to Hazleton is a winter wonderland. I have no doubt that if I hopped in my Jeep and took a five mile ride up to McAdoo, there's at least an inch or two on the ground already, and probably just one mile from the house up 309 in Hometown has a coating. In these kinds of events, it's how we roll here. An elevation of 1,200ft seems to be the magic number most times.

NWS really dropped my snow forecast. This morning they were saying 1-3 inches. This is my new forecast. Tonight Rain and snow, becoming all snow after 3am. Low around 32. East wind 6 to 13 mph becoming north after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 24 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
-
Getting a bit of everything now, so I believe we are transitioning. Dropped another degree to 35.
-
Starting to get some pingers mixing in, so the upper levels may be getting colder. Still holding at 36 at the surface, though.
-
That's absurd (and obscene)...
-
Still plain rain here. Temp down to 36. Crazy how low elevations near the MD line are all snow, and here at 800+ feet I'm all rain.
-
All rain to start here in Tamaqua. Temp crashed from 46 to 38 almost immediately, though.

I have a postage stamp sized yard so I have a battery powered cordless mower. Just bought it a few weeks ago to replace the corded electric one that was 15 years old. Check out this 511 cam on US22 at Gallitzin. Who says it can't accumulate on paved surfaces during the day in late April???

Lets see. If I wait until 2pm when it kicks in, I can mow my grass while under an active winter weather advisory, which would be a first for me...lol
-
Anyone else notice the wind picking up today? Over here it's getting quite breezy.
-
With what some of the short term meso's keep showing, I'm starting to get a gut feeling this is going to be an over achiever event.
-
Almost every model gives me at least one inch of snow overnight, but quite a few deliver more. Will be anxious to see what the 12z suite shows later. At any rate, I'm off today for the holiday, but tomorrow I'll be back at it, and while I usually take the GoPro out Thursday or Friday, I believe that tomorrow will be an excellent day to do my weekly trucking vlog.

Surprised at how deep the cold is this morning. I'm sitting at my low of 25.2 as I type this...
-
NWS is going 2-4 for my backyard. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be freezing my ass off on Easter Sunday to go outside and have a smoke while tracking a winter storm. It almost feels like it should be New Years Day or something...
-
If the plants are small enough, you could try my 5 gallon bucket trick. It would keep the snow from squashing them.
-
This pic was taken a short time ago (not by me) up in Barnesville which is but a couple miles from my house...
-
We have flurries/light snow in Tamaqua...
-
What???
-
I would think Blizz. I think he's about the biggest snow hound in the forum.
-
Trains, planes, or automobiles...I'm outta here...
-
Oh, I'm just overflowing with joy...
-
First forecast I've seen mentioning the possibility of accumulating snow Monday/Tuesday. This John Hickey from WNEP's map that was posted on Facebook this evening...
-
At 2pm the temp was 68 degrees. Now we're down to 47.8 damp, rainy degrees.
-
I was only 8 years old, but I do remember that 1976 heatwave quite well. I think it was Easter weekend, and the house was so hot because we didn't have the window air conditioners in yet.
-
Perhaps. I doubt I see anything other than maybe white rain down here, but up on the I-81 ridge top from Tremont to Hazleton (which is an entirely different world weatherwise) there could be.
