| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A storm system moved out of the Ohio Valley early in the morning on the 6th and crossed the Delmarva region that evening. The system then redeveloped near Long Island early on the 7th and moved slowly through central New England thereafter. Two distinct bouts of snowfall affected portions of northern Pennsylvania during this time frame. The initial shot of snow fell primarily during the day on Saturday the 6th. After a lull that evening, snowfall picked up again overnight and continued into the morning hours of the 7th before tapering off. On the 6th, snow first developed just prior to daybreak and quickly spread eastward. Late in the afternoon, the first shot of snow moved off to the east. Accumulations over the northern tier of Pennsylvania generally ranged from 2 to 4 inches. During the overnight hours from the 6th into the 7th, the brief respite from snowfall ended as heavier precipitation once again formed over the region. By the time the snow wound down by mid-morning on the 7th, an additional 3 to 5 inches had fallen. Storm totals from the two day event were in the 5 to 8 inch range over most of Bradford and Susquehanna counties with 8 inches reported at Thompson, 7 inches at Montrose, and 5 inches at Sayre. |
