| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A low pressure system developed to the lee of the Rocky Mountains on the 26th. It moved east to the lower Tennessee Valley the morning of the 27th and then northeast and reached the central Saint Lawrence Valley the morning of the 28th. This once again placed Eastern Pennsylvania on the relative warm side of the storm. The atmosphere was cold enough at the start for precipitation to start as snow during the early evening commute on the 27th. Warmer air from the southeast changed the precipitation over to rain a little after midnight on the 28th in the Lehigh Valley and before dawn on the 28th in the Poconos. Accumulations averaged 2 to 4 inches with the highest amounts in the Poconos. Jundale reported 4 inches and Long Pond reported 3.5 inches. Precipitation also started as snow farther southeast in Pennsylvania. But accumulating snows (around an inch) were limited to Berks County and the northern parts of Chester, Montgomery and Bucks Counties. |
