NE PA

I guess it will take a major wx event to wake up the posters from NE PA. I would think the area from Hazleton north would fit more into this sub-region than NYC/PHL.

But if this thread doesn't make it - the NE PA people can always post in the Upstate threads when their inland location puts them in the same wx zone as BGM, MSV, etc.

I live in Hazleton, PA so would I post in this area of the regionals or in the Philadelphia/NYC Metro?? I know many E PA posters posted in there but just want claification.

They can post in the Hudson valley thread if they like. They are out neighbors to our west. I know you and I post in the new england thread at times. The new england folks get a heads up from us on the west to east moving events. :)

It's one of my pet peeves about the sub-forum set up, which I otherwise like. I would have set up the Philly/NYC forum as the EPA/NJ/NYC forum. I know they wanted to have them correspond to the NWS CWA's, but outside of the northern tier counties, much of eastern PA shares more in common weatherwise with the Philly/NJ region than it does with Upstate New York.
