You can actually see the snow starting to lay just a few hundred feet up.

It's cool when you can see the snow line like that. Here in Tamaqua, I sit at 825' at the house, but the surrounding "mountains" sit at 1,200 to 1,500 feet. Sometimes, in marginal events, I'll have little if any accumulation, and the mountain tops (especially the trees) will be covered in snow. It's almost like out west when the valleys, like the Phoenix metro area, are warm, and the distant mountains are snow capped.

I just had a view back towards some higher elevation and I can definitely tell it's been snowing a little longer up there. It's been snowing rather light here for the last half hour b,ut we're still getting  coverage without much of a problem. 

I know some of you fellows like your wine. This place is basically in my backyard.It's where my son and I cut down a lot of our christmas trees. Back in 09 when my son was still a child he got to experience cutting down a tree in an epic snow snow and drag it home on a sled with me.  He's not as fond of snow as his old man, but it's definitely a fond memory of his.

Sure wish this forum would wake up a bit. The Philly and NYC forums are quite active, and as such I'm having to go to them for analysis, obs, and general commentary.

The forum would surely wake up when you start talking about 90 degree heat and 77 degree dewpoints and aa heat index of 115.

It would wake up for sure. It's quite possible my wife would be planning my funeral as well...

LATE SEASON WINTER STORM IS ON TRACK TO AFFECT OUR AREA !!!

**ANY CHANGES IN TRACK WILL AFFECT TOTALS SIGNIFICANTLY.

**WE WONT KNOW THIS UNTIL THIS EVENING WHEN THE COASTAL LOW FORMS OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.

Just a few REMINDERS! @8 AM

Blizzard Warning For PHILLY AREA was added overnight!

Keep in mind these few key points…..

1. Precipitation will start this morning for many as light Rain or Rain/Snow. THIS IS AND WAS EXPECTED!

2. STORM will not be very impressive until LATE afternoon or evening around 3-6 PM. Once the sun goes down the coastal storm will gets its act together and rapidly strengthen. This will allow precipitation to get thrown our way from the ocean and that’s when accumulating SNOW will begin to pile up. Best time for accumulation snow to fall will be OVERNIGHT tonight into Monday.

3. **REMEMBER** A slight change in track can make BIG changes in totals.

A more WEST track would give us higher snow totals AND a track even SLIGHTLY EAST would LOWER totals.

LET THE EVENT PLAY OUT!!

***This storm will take time to get organized and cranking. Be patient and LET THINGS PLAY OUT! It will be SLOW GOING until AFTER SUNSET.

We are watching and waiting!

A STORM THIS SIZE DOES WHAT IT WANTS!

Stay Tuned! we Will update throughout the day!!!! (AS NECESSARY)
