Crazy today. Left Clarks Summit with snow on the ground and mood flakes and drove to Mt Pocono to pick up a car. Once I passed Gouldsboro on 380 it was like I drove into a bad winter storm. Cars off the road everywhere and 4-5'' of heavy snow. Got back and we might have go 2" but in Mt Pocono they were close to 6".

That sounds about right. I live 15 minutes north of Gouldsboro off 507, and 30 minutes from Mt. Pocono. I received right around 4.0" here at my location.  380 is a nightmare with any appreciable amount of snow most times, especially from Moscow south/east. The big change is always from the Gouldsboro exit, down to Mt. Pocono. Now you're driving through 1900' to 2000' foot elevations on the plateau.  Overall, a nice event in the Pocono area today, for sure.  Looks like a couple inches "possible" tomorrow am as well, nice little refresher before the incoming cold.

Pretty solid area of snow has blossomed up from WV over western and central PA the last couple hours. Something that the HRRR hasn’t really seen at all in recent runs where it doesn’t blossom precip til later over the Sus Valley. 0z 3k NAM looks to have seen that better as have the RGEM and globals. So I guess in other words, the HRRR is about the only thing that didn’t see that.

Snow falling here isn’t doing much currently, but it is accumulating up in the Laurels per 511 cams.

Steady light to moderate snow here with a fresh coating, 29ºF. This has turned into an outright accumulating event for some folks that it really wasn’t in the forecast for. US 322 corridor from State College to Lewistown showing a lot of snow covered roads on the cameras.

It's pukeing snow here at the moment fellows.I've already surpassed anything I've received yesterday morning. I'm not surprised by the start of sleet here. In the pictures I posted yesterday morning you can clearly see that almost all the precipitation I received in my area was graupel while others not far away had much better flake quality. Obviously rates were an issue in my area, but thermals were suspect also here.

I don't believe I got the initial shot of snow at my house,but I have received around 1/8" of sleet, and I'm finally transitioning to snow here.

Lol, I see CTP added just Lebanon to the Advisory with York & Lanco.

Sounds like a few counties should have been added based on overnight comments on here…

At least an inch of snow here. But we all know how CTP is with their warnings and advisorys when it comes to winter weather.

Nearly identical observations for the Saturday and Sunday light snow events from Valley Green, northern York County:

Saturday:  1.5" of snow with a liquid eq. of 0.08"

Sunday:  1.4" of snow with a liquid eq. of 0.07"

Snow on snow is always kinda nice; NFL officials playing such a huge role in any and all games, well, not so much!
