I just measured around 10" on my driveway, which was just from Round 2. So about 12.5" unofficially. I saw a report of only 5" around Martins Creek (as of around 11pm last night); is that really true? That band must of nailed us in southern Northampton.

Yes, the heaviest seem to stay mainly in the southern part of the county, but did get more after that. ended with about 8.5" in Martins Creek

I forget which model it was, but one of the very short term models had a sharp gradient across the Lehigh Valley from south to north. Very accurate as it turned out. My wife reports 12.8" total from Macungie. Wish I could have been there.

This isn't directed at you (or any other poster) personally, so please don't anyone take it the wrong way, but statements like this are why those who ended up "in the screw zone" can get upset and frustrated. Who knows when this run of incredible coastal lows will end? It's not often that we see so many so close together. When these do end or slow down, it'll be back to your average overrunning type events, and they usually don't include awesome deformation bands, CCB's, thundersnow, and 2-4 inch per hour rates. Those are awesome sights to see and for the sixth time in 2 years, they missed JUST to my south or east.

We love ya voyager, but it is a weather board. Not sure what else you want the people "in the good" to say.

4.5" here at Hazleton, the elevation helps more then Tamaqua. Voyager -it's been below normal snowfall since 2002 with last winter being the exception but we needed that massive storm mid Feb to rally the totals plus snow events in late March and April.

I'm fully on the bring on spring bandwagon.. Can't wait to start tracking heat and/or humidity.

I'm basically a stone's throw from you and had only 3.25".

Normally I would be in your camp but we had an epic FEB last year so there's still hope.

Voyager.. I'm sorry if it bothered you.. but think of it this way. This pattern is abnormal. I can remember many times in the 90s where it seemed like you folks up there were getting a foot and we were getting the slop down here. I am just in awe of this. Probably after this breaks it will be decades before something like this is ever seen again.

There is PLENTY of winter left.. in fact 50+ days of it. And just cause its March doesn't mean crap. Blizzard of 1993. Nuff said.

The sun angle is helping too. And after spending 5 hours shoveling, I think I am convinced to finally buy a snow blower. The street plow picked up an old iceberg along the road and bent my mailbox sideways which is now held by a bungee cord. Too tired to fix it now. Great storm. Next potential of a biggie looks to be 2/2 or 2/3.

Woke up with my mailbox missing this morning. The wave of snow from the plows sheared it right off the post. Had 2 plow trucks get stuck so far today too doing some long driveways that cut through open fields.
