| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Schuylkill, Sullivan and Lancaster Counties were on the western border of a major east coast storm that was unusually severe for the time of year. Heavy snow was confined to eastern sections of the counties with up to 18 inches reported at Christiana in eastern Lancaster County, up to 10 inches across eastern Schuylkill County, and 6 inches to a foot across the higher elevations of Sullivan County. There were many accidents due to whiteouts and I-81 was closed for 5 hours east of Harrisburg. It was noteworthy that the border of the heavy snow was so sharp that western parts of the hard hit counties had little accumulation. |
