Jonesville is just about down to where I-81 hits I-78.....so below all those hills.

Yeah. Not sure were Jonesville is but once you get above Ravine, I81 is 1k or more feet in elevation. Depending on how well Penny-Doofus-Dot does clearing the roads, expecting at least a moderate impact event. With temps continuing to fall as the storm moves out, def would pack smart.

Jonestown you mean? That is just a bit south of the 81/78 split, several miles NW of my location. I-81 north of there in Schuylkill County is nasty in even slightly bad weather...this evening it's going to be pretty ugly I'd imagine. Winter storm warning for that area, 6"+ in several hours of heavy snow. Maybe a dozen miles north of Jonestown I-81 hits 1000ft and then mostly runs 1500-1700ft, with a few spots near 1900ft until around Hazleton, PA.

Pressure is 1005.7 mB falling at 1 mB/Hr

Can't wait for the front to move through, I hate 60F in december...

Right Jonestown.... well I'd love that kind of wx. :) ..but maybe they will be through there before it gets bad.

I googled it...where they go is actually the first exit on 81 (slightly above that split). They call in Jonestown, but I can see the actual village of Jonestown is slightly south of there....

Here's the 81 fiasco, this is going to be bad all day.

Hazmat crews are cleaning up fuel spilled by two overturned tractor trailers on Interstate 81 north in Lebanon County this morning. 

The first truck overturned about 9:15 a.m. at mile marker 83 and the second overturned about 9:45 at mile marker 81, officials said. Traffic is moving slow and being diverted at Route 743 near the Hollywood Casino at Penn National. Drivers are urged to use caution.

There are no reported injuries.

Update: Crews said one tractor-trailer is carrying a huge drill that is too heavy for wreckers to move. They will try to drag the truck to the side of the road. The road will remain shut down for a while.

No ****. Down into my stomping grounds. The exit is the Lickdale/Lebanon exit. When you get off you will be in Lickdale. Turn left and go to the third redlight (Wendys,Exon,Hess) and turn right. 3-4 miles down the road you will hit a red light with a Turkey Hill. Turn left will take you into Jonestown.

Latest RUC and HRRR are showing a break in the precip for most of the SE portion of the area, getting close to UNV. Watch the radar trends along with temperature.

Walker building in State College has dropped a degree in the past 20 minutes. Down to 41.5...

edit: Maybe not so much the 16z RUC, but wow it shows some serious rates this evening!

It's been raining at a decent rate...if we can keep these kinds of rates up it will be awesome later this afternoon.

temps holding steady here at 51

It's been steady at about 52 for the past few hours here (i'm only a few miles north of you), but it's now dropped a few tenths, and graphs indicate a slight downturn in temperature. Hopefully this trend continues, the faster it gets into the 30's, the happier i'll be.
