Governor Ed Rendell has put us under a State Of Emergency and ordered people to stay off the roads here and let PENNDOT try to get some of the roads cleared. Everything is shut down. :o

Hey Rob, I just got off the phone with my sister. She lives in Montourville, PA; Lycoming county, up in the mountains. She told me the snow is up to her suv's windows. I guess it's cause they are up in the mountains and she says it's still snowing. :o OMG that is incredible I guess it's like 2 1/2 ft of snow or more...
You guys have fun..
Gives a new meaning to snow drifts lmao

LOL my sister never makes a big deal about anything but this has got her attention. Granted her suv is a tracker and lower to the ground but they still got hammered. She said she is gonna get pictures and when she does I will tell her to send them in.
Does it make a difference that they are in the mountains? When I was up in December they said 8 inches and we got 12-14?? Just wondering

big difference here. Elevations mean as much as 6" per 1000 feet! I could drive to the bottom of our hills here into the next town and we'd have 18"...they would have maybe 12". Always colder up on the hills and therefore more moisture that might change to rain or sleet in the valleys...the elevations get hammered.

Yea I figured ,just wanted an expert opinion..Thanks. BTW any confidence is this theory of a bad flood event similar to that of 96 in the next week. They say the next storm will track futher west. In 96 williamsport and montoursville got creamed. I told my sister I would keep her posted.

Yeah...I'm watching this one as well....seems like every year we see a time where we have prolonged cold...alot of snow, then an event with either milder air for a few days and/or rain. Looks like this next week's storm could have just the rain, but also mid 30s and 40s when this thing brings in SW air and a more westerly track. I hope this all doesnt melt too fast...we'll have devastation this year if it gets too warm too fast.

Please keep me posted. My sister lives up in the mountains but works in town. Their weather people seem clueless and I told her I would keep her informed. The weather locals said they wouldn't get any snow this go around :o and look what happened. I appreciate it. BTW..email me if you have to..TY again
