Update on Early Season Snow event...


A couple of changes to previous snow accumulation outlook.

First off, going to extend timing thru Saturday Morning, which will undoubtedly push some locations over 6", hence went ahead with a 6-12" range. Power outages are likely in this corridor of heaviest snow. This corridor includes Bradford, Clearfield, Elk, Cameron, Clinton, Lycoming, McKean, Potter, Sullivan, Tioga, and Wyoming Counties in Northcentral PA. Also, this includes the Pocono Mtn. counties of Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike, and Wayne. Accumulations will vary widely within the ranges due to elevation. For instance, expecting only around 3" in the Wyoming Valley, but upwards of 8" in the nearby Pocono Mtns.

The 3-7" range has been nudged northward another tier of counties to include the entire Southern Tier of NY from Chatauqua Cnty. to the Catskill counties of Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Sullivan, and Ulster.

Lastly, inserted a 1-3" range in the Taconics, Berkshires, and Litchfield Hills of NY/MA/CT.

In all likelihood, going to probably need another update as we progress thru the day on Friday, as it appears likely that snow will be lingering from Northeastern PA to interior New England for Sunday. But, one step at a time.
