| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Heavy snow fell over sections of the Poconos from the Sunday afternoon of the 7th into the early Monday morning of the 8th. Accumulations in Monroe and Carbon Counties ranged from two to six inches. The snow fell at a fairly consistent rate. This combined with the heaviest precipitation occurring on a Sunday night reduced the number of accidents. Flurries lingered into the morning of the 8th, but the steady snow was over well before the morning commute. Farther south across the Lehigh Valley and upper parts of Berks, Montgomery and Bucks Counties, precipitation started as snow during the late afternoon of the 7th, mixed with or changed over to rain during the evening of the 7th and then went back to snow before ending on the 8th. Accumulations were lighter, generally one to two inches. In the Poconos accumulations included 6 inches in Long Pond, 5 inches in White Haven (Luzerne County), 4 inches in Saylorsburg, 3 inches in East Stroudsburg and 2 inches in Lehighton.A low pressure system was located in the central Ohio Valley the morning of the 7th. A second low formed along the primary low's warm frontal boundary in North Carolina the evening of the 7th. This low became the main low and quickly moved offshore on the 8th. By 7 a.m. EST on the 8th, the low was already about 275 statute miles east of Fenwick Island, Delaware. The fast track prevented heavier snow from falling across the region. |
