Strange. edit: Kiamesha with 10.5 as well, this is going to be one heck of a gradient in just this county then. 3.5” otg snowing moderately temp 29 roads wet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

In Carbon County near Lake Harmony, I've got the same elevation (around 2,200') as you but not the latitude lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wonder what the worst winter at Mt Pocono was, the climate is a lot different from Scranton so the local TV stations don't really cover it too well. Lowest snowfall total at MPO...I wonder if they ever got less than 20"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Geez, it's really coming down now. That's legit heavy with, apparently, very good growth judging by the size and density of the flakes. Good stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepaJames8602 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Heaviest snow rates so far. Easily two inch per hour right now. Hope I can stay in this awhile. 8 inches otg. 31.3 and heavy snow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Areas above 1000’ here are doing well tho. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great snowfall here but it’s also 33 degrees so it’s not piling up for me like one would think if there saw these rates and flake size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been under one for over an hour now and even at 33° I've gotten 4" making it about 6" since my 6am measurements, totaling 12 and it's coming down 2-3"/hr right now. It has taken multiple measurements to get there though because it melts fast when the rates lighten up. It was down to ~3-4" before the current band.

I just drove the 3 miles from my house at 450 feet up to King's Ridge Road which is at about 950 feet. Crazy how different of a world it is up there than here. Here the roads are wet, maybe 3 inches in the grass because of the melting as it snows today. Up there they probably have 8 inches otg and roads are completely snowcovered.

Juliancolton Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Snow globe conditions here with supersized flakes, but liquid is just pouring off the trees and the snow is thinning out on my south-facing slopes. Clocked 8.2" on the board during the last band to come through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
