Summary
- A major storm brought very heavy snow to the mid-Atlantic region on January 23rd.
- Northeast Pennsylvania was in the northern edge of the storm, with an extreme gradient of snow observed across the area.
- Large-scale and meso-scale features associated with the storm made it obvious that a large gradient would be over northeast Pennsylvania.
- The SREF ensemble indicated large uncertainty in snowfall amounts near Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.
- Higher resolution models and ensembles accurately focused in on where the gradient would be prior to the onset of the storm.
