Already over 6" @ 1800' here in Eagle Rock just south of Hazleton!   

Pouring snow here in Eagle Rock resort near Hazleton @ 1800'.  Already over 3".  I don't post much as I am usually in south Florida area for winter months...but had to come up for the storm...it's over achieving so far.  Could end up being a big one for our area!    

Just coming back into the area from my Miami home today...@ 2000 ft elevation near Luzerne/Schuylkill border...wow!  It sure looks like its been a pathetic winter season.  Hopefully, we can can get one last snowstorm before we move on to 23-24 season.  Accord to my neighbor we've only had around 30" so far...pathetic!!! 

Haven't post often this winter as I have been in warmer Miami all winter...but I have to post today...these snow squalls are intense here on the Luzerne/Schuylkill line @ 2000ft elevation.  I drove thru the one that caused the major accident on I81 and there was zero visibility and an immediate ice sheet on the roads.  There are more coming before the end of the day....so ALL please be safe and pay attention to the warnings.  These squalls mean business!   

Pretty intense rates up here...close to an inch already.  Was expecting something light...seems like an over performer!     

After on and off freezing drizzle/rain all day here on the Schuylkill/Luzerne border @ 1700ft...intensity just picked up and it flipped to sleet. 

Somewhere north of 20" here so far...snowing lightly now.

14 inches and counting...

Probably getting the heaviest snow of the storm so far, and if future radar is correct, that band from the Poconos down through Reading should back into here soon.

This is going to be a deep one...about 14" now and it definitely is picking up again here in NEPA...heaviest of the day and we have a long way to go...wow!

Just measured 11 inches here. Now it's time to take a GoPro walk and see what the rest of the town looks like. Just about every road in and out of town is closed on the hills. PA 309 in and out from Hometown and West Penn PA309 on the Blue Mountain, PA443 in from Hamburg/New Ringgold, US209 from the east, etc.

Yep...I can report just north of 12" here now on the Schuylkill/Luzerne border.   

In a lull of light snow now...eyeballing about 9-10" so far.  Looks like we all have a band coming in from the east right off the atlantic.   It looks intense, enjoy!  

Luzerne/Schuylkill border @ 2000ft..  Approaching 7".

Thanks! I'm hoping you and the rest of the guys and gals out that way do as well. Hopefully the storm has some surprises in it...

This monster is just getting organized...I have a feeling all of our region will remember this one!

The best rates in PA seem to be N Central PA right now. 

Yeah...radar looks impressive out west.   It must be really ripping out there.

I can vouch for that. At times the flakes are almost dime sized again. I don't know if their rimed with ice as in being close to flipping to sleet, but they made a lot of noise on my jacket when they hit. I did a video segment, and it sounded like it was raining when I played it back.

I thought the intense stuff was coming later in the day...this is a surprise.  

Intense band is here...6"-7" on the ground...and its falling @ 1-2" per hr..  Wow!

We'll definitely have a great snow ratio advantage with this storm...we're still stuck @ 17F according to my truck at 1pm..   Forecast high was upper 20's.  

Oooh yeah...the kind that add up quick! 

Hello all...its snowing hard now up here in NEPA @ 2000ft elevation on the Luzerne/Schuylkill county border.  Roads got snow covered in minutes.  This is looking like the real deal this time!   

Snow has picked up now...about to pass 1" mark and visibility has dropped significantly.   Starting to look like a legit PA snowstorm for us.     

Hello All...just joined the site and looking forward to an exciting winter season!   I'm in the mountains just southwest of Hazleton @ 1800' on the Luzerne/Schuylkill border.  Snowing steady now and roads are already snow covered.
