Went to bed worried about being missed completely here in my part of the Poconos. What a nightmare of a storm to track and follow. This isn’t an official measurement, but eyeballing roughly 10.0” inches. Will measure once it’s over. Location: Newfoundland Pa, Wayne county. 2,075’ elevation.

Nice little event here on the Pocono plateau at 2075’ feet. Had about 6” on the deck and about 4” on the driveway.

Ohh very cool, nice to see a poster relatively closeby! Yeah looks like a nowcast for us this evening!

Hello, are you in the Clarks Summit area? I’m to your east/southeast near Newfoundland Pa, Wayne county. Really liking my spot on the northern Pocono Plateau at 2,075’ feet for this. Binghamton NWS has a WWA up for 3 to 5. This absolutely looks heavily elevation dependent, with elevations changing over first late this evening and obviously having the best opportunity to accumulate. Elk Mountain is always in a great spot, highest elevation in Nepa and great Latitude/Longitude as well!

Thank you! I’m actually a long term lurker of this regional forum, however I typically post in the Nyc Interior thread given my proximity to that location. I’ll try to drop in here more often. I’m Located in Newfoundland, Pa in Wayne county. The Pocono Springs pin, is my actual location in the Poconos. Roughly 30 min due north of Mt. Pocono. And today was this winters largest snowfall for me. All in all, absolutely pathetic season for everyone. This storm has put me at around 43” inches for the season, so I’ve made up some ground the past two weeks. But it’s still far behind the typical average snowfall for the higher elevations of the Poconos, which range from 60” to 70” inches a season here once you’re at and above 2,000’ feet.

Yup, had a solid 9” to 10” inches here at my location on the northwestern edge of the Pocono Plateau. I measured around 7pm, I’m just shy of 2,100’ feet. Still have bouts of light to moderate snow ongoing as well. So another quick inch or two is still possible to reach a foot in areas. However, this event was highly elevation dependent up this way. My buddy in Scranton barely had 3.0” inches. I took a drive 7 miles from my house down at 1300’ feet, and they had 4” or 5” inches tops.

6pm update for here in the Poconos, 9.0” and moderate snow continues.

Yeah for sure a couple inches, intensity isn’t as extreme as to the north. Penndot can actually keep up with it lol.

I found this Cam, this is close to where 81 and 80 meet! This was about 30 min ago.

Honestly, it’s a snow hole in general, but I gotta laugh at the bare ground down there. I’m literally 50 min northwest of them and basically live on a different planet lol.

I-84 Mt. Cobb Pa, Exit 8. The elevation at this location is roughly 1800’. Safe to say roads are a disaster lol.

Well it seems like the eyeballing method simply doesn’t work in high winds LOL. Took an actual measurement, measuring anywhere from 7 to 8” actually here in my part of the Poconos. Still snowing moderately.

Yeah, even with crappy winters the Poconos always produces something, especially above 2k. It wasn’t the worst winter I’ve seen, but sure wasn’t the best lol.

Yeah, last weekend wasn’t as much here, I believe I ended up with around 6”. With this system, it will put my seasonal total right around 40” give or take. Nice to see these late season storms however; it’s a far cry from the 60 to 70” average around these parts of the Poconos lol.

There’s a sharp cutoff to the south from the bands pivoting in from the north/ northeast now. Pike and Wayne county, (where I’m located in the northern Poconos) have been snowing non stop all am. Checking cameras, anything south of Mt. Pocono, 30 min south of me; simply doesn’t seem to be producing anything lol. I’m eyeballing an easy 6” here in my Part of the Poconos, on the north western portion of the Pocono Plateau. Keep in mind, my elevation is really helping with this setup being I’m just under 2,100’. Anyone below 1,000’ has pretty much nothing, especially to the south/ southwest. I’ve cleaned the driveway two times already. Here’s a current photo:

-5 temp, winds gusting to 45mph. Just brutal. Current Temps around the Poconos.

Absolute crazy weather day. Left for work at 6 am to rain and 46 degrees, currently 3 below zero and winds gusting 40 to 50mph here on the Pocono Plateau. Flash freeze wasn’t as bad as advertised luckily, Penndot had a good handle on salting the heck out of the roads prior to the freeze up. Secondary roads a bit slick though. Fresh coating of snow today post front, and I somehow managed to salvage my snow pack with a minor refresher. Definitely a white Christmas here in the higher elevations of the Poconos, that’s for sure.

Going to say 7.0” total here from last night in my part of the Poconos, Newfoundland, Wayne county. Elevation 2,075’ feet. I’m 30 minutes N/Nw of Mt Pocono, and around 200 to 300 feet higher in elevation than them. So their 7.4” total seems accurate. It’s extremely hard to measure this stuff after it compacted and turned to sleet/freezing rain late last night. It’s now snowing moderately on the back end and I have already received an additional inch. So going with a storm total of 8.0” so far, and maybe another couple hours to go. Not a bad early season storm!

Moderate snow falling, and it’s becoming very windy. Event total so far is 5.0” here in my part of the Poconos. Temp is 30 degrees.

Started as a Sleet/Snow mix here in the Poconos around noon. It has now primarily gone over to just snow, moderate to heavy at that. Temp is holding steady in the upper 20’s. Its going to be an interesting event here above 2k, Binghamton NWS warning is for 6 to 14 inches for my area, with a tenth of an inch of ice. Winds tonight gusting upwards to 40mph here on the Plateau. Glad I got out of work and I’m home early, roads are going to become a mess in a hurry.

Poconos, Nw Nj, Hudson Valley classic crusher!

Nice first wintry event for November here in the Poconos. I was actually shocked at how nasty some of the roads were heading home from work. Completely snow/ice covered, even the highways. Just cleaned up, picked up about 2.5” here at 2,075 feet. It has since changed to sleet/rain mix now. Temp is right around 31 degrees so that may actually be freezing rain at these elevations.

Yes, Bradford and Susquehanna counties right along the northern tier of Pa, just south of Binghamton Ny, reported anywhere from 12 to 16” in the higher elevations. I just drove through the area this am, and there was still 6 to 8 inches on the ground roughly, that was since compacting and melting a bit. Your area in the Poconos faired a bit better, here in the northern Poconos in Wayne county, I only reported 3” just under 2,100’ feet. Warm sector turned me over to sleet and even plain rain a good portion of the night. Western Catskills at elevation got a nice hit as well. There is still folks without power in the southern tier and Central Ny.

Awesome storm for the twin tiers for sure!

Got shafted even here in the far western Poconos, warm air aloft changed me over to sleet and even rain for most of the night. We are back to light snow now. Received about 3 inches of snow. Totals in far northern Pa near the Ny/Pa twin borders are in the 8 to 12 inch range at elevation.
