Was just 50 degrees here hours ago. 

Moderate snow, sticking to everything and 30 degrees just before 1 am here in the Poconos.

Howdy, I’m Cameron. I’m a research scientist, storm chaser, and photographer.I work closely with the National Weather Service and Storm Prediction Center to better understand and forecast supercells, their hazards(tornadoes, hail, and wind, and their many behaviors. I’m also a proud member of the storm chasing community, and an advocate for strengthening ties between chasers, researchers, and forecasters. I regularly provide educational material to NWS, SPC, and the chaser community, with the goal of communicating and implementing new research.Portrait courtesy Will Wight

Not sure if it's wind (downed trees) or snow related, but 309 over the Blue Mountain has been closed all night. Trying to get a hold of my night shift truck partner to find out why.

25 degrees, windy and 1.5” of snow my lane is covered with snow. White wonderland out.

29 when I left the house. 1.63” of total liquid but still waiting for some encrusted sleet/snow to melt off the funnel of the gauge, will report back later. Probably going with .2” of snow/sleet as things were decently covered when I went to bed last night and it was still snowing. Nice little event and today should be a heck of a winter day. Curious to see how far east some squalls can make it later today. March, always a trip.

The old saying of: after a thunderstorm in winter within 10 days it will snow, rang true again.

[canderson]

Didn’t notify any snow accumulation in the city, unfortunately 

[2001kx]

About 3" of snow

[mahantango#1]

Have about an inch of snow here that is very crusty.

[pawatch]

High for yesterday was 65 degrees. This morning 25 degrees and snow.

A lot of coworkers mentioning how surprised they were to find their cars encrusted in sleet and snow thi smorning.  I told them I stayed up to watch it haha.
