Finally, it has begun...

talking to a friend in the Hanover Section of Nanticoke, and no snow is falling as of 2 mins ago. kinda weird given the radar, and the model trends. makes me wonder if the mountains near i-80 create the screw-zone for the valley. trends are saying hazleton gets more, which is likely. but too bad they don't have separate zones between northern Luzerne County and southern, because I wonder if that verifies in this case.

Not nearly as exciting as you guys out my way, but really over performing here. Lots of reports even right around Pittsburgh of 4-6 inches, and our southern tier is going to end up 12-24 inches.

 

Mag, we have shifted at this point everything moving south to north to basically east to west at this point, and actually where I am at just north of PGH it is snowing the hardest it has all night. Do you have any idea just how much moisture might kick back our way with the coastal taking over, and if we will see any decent banding?

Snowing nicely in the valley near Hazleton. Prob about an inch on the ground.

any indication if it's snowing in say Shickshinny/Mocanaqua, or say in downtown wilkes barre compared to Bear Creek or Mountain Top? because what I'm hearing my friend in Hanover Section, there maybe be a bunch of virga that isn't making it to the surface attm in the valley floor.

Cannot say what its doing north of me.. I can't imagine virga is that close to me... but what do I know.

 

I'm in Sugarloaf to be more specific btw. Light snow right now...
