zenmsav6810 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hmm... sounds like your teacher may not have been all that familiar with PA geography him/herself Here's a good map from Wikipedia: So it would seem! I'll have to study this, I don't nearly know about geology as I should. Here in the United States our Geo science education though high school is some of the worst of any industrialized country. I kind of feel that weather could get lumped in with that subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Here in Bretton Woods, NH where I've been all week, we got 7.2" from Wednesday's storm (all snow) which was a little disappointing as we were in the 8-12" forecast zone. Got another 3.5" as a ULL swung through with snow flurries and showers all day into last evening. Dropped to a brisk 4.2 this morning as skies cleared, -5 on the summit of MWN.

Elevation certainly mattered in this storm. Even a few hundred feet. So, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Elevation certainly mattered in this storm. Even a few hundred feet. So, who knows. Absolutely it did. Here in Tamaqua proper, wehre the elevation is about 800ft or so, we got 2-3 inches. Up in Hometown, one mile north of town, but with an elevation of close to 1,000ft, had about 4 to perhaps 5 inches. Up in McAdoo and Hazleton, where the elevation is between 1,300 and 1,800 and pushing 2,000 in some locations, it looked like they had well over 6 inches...and this was yesterday, four days after the storm.
