General 2-5 in NEPA with 3" roughly in my area and 5" in Southern Lackawanna and Southern Wayne. Horrible drive late night coming up the NE Extension from PHL around 11PM. Thought I was going to hydroplane into the woods.

he National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of central New York and northeast
  Pennsylvania, including the following areas, in central New York,
  Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Delaware, Otsego, Sullivan and Tioga.
  In northeast Pennsylvania, Bradford, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Northern
  Wayne, Pike, Southern Wayne, Susquehanna and Wyoming.

* From late tonight through Thursday morning.

* Scattered heavy rain showers and possibly a few thunderstorms are
  expected out ahead of the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred early
  Wednesday morning. The remnants of Fred will push through
  Wednesday into early Thursday morning. Localized rainfall amounts
  over 5 inches will be possible and this would lead to flash
  flooding in some areas.

Looks like a disco outside with all the flashing lights. Storms incoming for the Northern Tier.

7/31 record lows

AVP 47 back in 1956 with a forecasted low of 48 tonight.
BGM 49 back in 1956 with a forecasted low of 46 tonight.

Forecast low for me tonight is 47. Heat kicking on!

Crazy that you have been pointing to that for the last 6 weeks. Northern Tier vs Southern Tier is difference between significantly above average rainfall and drought. You are probably at Exit 1 on I-81 while I am at 197 so there is a ton of miles between us but still a huge disparity this year.

Wow-56 right now and went down to 52 last night. Blanket weather!!!!!

Thunderstorm just rolled through here NW of Scranton. Heavy downpour with some lightning. Had a nice storm last night but heavy stuff stayed north in the Southern Tier of NY.

We have only had about 1.5" of rain in the last 40 days or so.  A Have Not.  Just 20 miles North of me and they have had 5-6" just this month.   We are officially in drought but we won't be listed because the square mile area where it is taking place is too small even for a little yellow dot.  One of the USGS employees lives in Hagerstown and I have the pleasure of communicating with him.  

 

 

Yes- I am a black dot.

The have and have nots. When I see someone talking about drought conditions it is a little like WTF are talking about. Over 3" for the week and 7" for the month with more incoming up here in the next 30 minutes. Played golf at Scranton CC last night and water was coming up from the fairways when you walked to your ball. Crazy.

Wow-didn't realize that anyone in the state was that dry. I am 30 miles from the NY Border above Scranton and have had rain almost every other day. Greatest dry stretch over this period was 5 days. With what fell in NEPA Tuesday and Wednesday night I would think most areas are above normal now. Rain on the way today and tomorrow.

Got my first inch!

...Light accumulating snow through the late morning...

An area of light to moderate snow will accumulate up to an inch
per hour through the late morning. Snow totals up to 1 to 2
inches are possible, leading to slick roadways. Visibility may
also drop below a mile in the heaviest areas of snow. The snow
will start to mix in with rain and taper off into the late
morning.

While out driving, allow for extra time to reach your destination.

BGM 

The high sun angle this time of year will keep snow ratios possibly
below 10:1, especially across our southern counties in NE PA.
Snowfall rates will likely not be too intense, especially by
early Monday afternoon, and the high sun angle may make
accumulations tough on paved surfaces. Snowfall amounts will
likely be very elevation dependent through the day Monday and
some changeover to rain will be a possibility across the lower
terrain. The higher terrain in NE PA is forecast to see 3 to 4
inches, while valleys get 1 to 3.

Thanks to all for the insight that this board delivers! Really has been my go to to track the weather and allows me to get the needed info without the "weenie" anger from the other boards.

Part 2 was great as promised and we ended up over 4" with snow still falling. Up to 65" here and we usually have big March's (and April) so hopefully more to come. Getting back to the time of the season where elevation can matter.

Now THIS is not a map you see everyday. Amazing. 

Love that I am up here in Lackawanna not under anything! WTF

Funny but growing up in Philly it was always 2-4" with the Poconos at 12"+. I have lived north of Scranton for over 20 years and more often than not have watched heavier snows south of me. This year if finally circling back where I am over 60" for the season and BGM is over 80". The reality is that we have not had that many great years in terms of snow and cold over the past 20 years. This year it is snowing and the temperature has rarely been above 35 since early January. We will be back in the shitter next year-trust me!

Pack expanding after yesterday! We will take a few more flakes between now and next Tuesday. Love the mood flakes!

Pack continues to build up here. Looks like 3" measured with snow still falling.

Did not have the melt that the south of 80 crowd had at the end of last week. Being cloudy and below freezing every day is bad for mental health but great for keeping snow on the ground! 

Under an SPC this AM for 1-3" additional. Have had some flakes in the air at some intensity since roughly 1PM Sunday. Crazy!

Heavy Band right now. The Energizer Bunny Storm!

Was jealous of the LSV yesterday afternoon when you guys were under those death bands but eventually it set-up over NEPA and crushed from roughly 7:30 to midnight. Under a very heavy band this AM. Most locations are somewhere between 18-24". I am at roughly 20" IMBY.
