| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Low pressure moved east along the Gulf Coast, then turned northeast across the Carolinas. A deep flow of moisture from the Atlantic spread westward into Pennsylvania. Snowfall was highly dependent on elevation with rain mixing with snow in the valleys and remaining all snow at higher elevations. Snowfall totals ranged from a couple inches in the valleys to close to 2 feet on the mountain tops, with 22 inches in Laporte in Sullivan County and 17 inches at Trough Creek in Huntingdon County. The heavy snow extended across the mountains extending southwest to northeast from the Maryland to New York borders. A line from Somerset to Wellsboro defined the western boundary and a line from South Mountain to Nordmont measured the eastern limits of the heavier snow. A little more than 6 inches also fell across the high elevations of Schuylkill County. |
