@catter70 Are you close to Allentown?  I was out and about before the snow began.  It started while I was wrapping it up.  They called for rain before we received the under forecasted snow so I'm not sure we will get it.  Be safe!

@catter70. I so agree with you.  February seems to be making up for the past 2 winters.  It's been coming down fast and furiously for several hours.  We have about 4 inches now.  Reminds me of the winter of '96.  Not sure we'll see grass by April at this rate.  Now the weatherman is saying we could get more tomorrow.   I am so over this weather!

I am near Easton, PA. Ran out just after 9 this morning for a quick errand. Right after I returned home an hour later the snow started. We were also not supposed to get much accumulation, but It looks like several inches so far. Roads look slippery and it's still coming down pretty hard.

I am in North East Texas and there is something terribly wrong when a Texan in this part of the State as to brush off 9 inches of snow from their car.  I was home from Sat. the 13th until Sat. the 20th.  I got sick of my self!!  At least I did not loose power, water and I was being paid while watching television day in and day out.  Today we are in the 60's!!

ID2 and I know that it's only February. We get snow all winter--get used to it or move. (For Texans, it's different--except for El Paso, the one spot of genius in the state.)

Yesterday 1" dusting was predicted. When I woke up Sunday morning there was more than 4" on our patio porch, and still snowing. Ended up with a total of 8" in our part of the County.

Not only snow, but wet and heavy snow, the worst to shovel and even snow blow. And another fun experience for me was this.

Our Satellite Dish sits on our roof, and because of our many trees, it has to be recessed to an area of our roof that has to clear to the Southwest. Thus is is set way back from ground level.

Wet snow does not go well with trees/powerlines, or Satellite Dishes. To be able to get my reception, the snow had to be removed from the dish.

When it needed to be moved the very 1st winter I realized I needed something that could reach it, without me climbing on a slick roof. I bought an 18' roof snow aluminum pole roof shovel to hope to make it easier.

So yesterday I had to get out a ladder, first to be able to see the dish from our deck level. There was already over a foot of snow on our deck, and still snowing. So ladder perched in a foot of snow, me on the 3rd step of a ladder(my wife was pet sitting, so just me) trying to extend this 18' pole/shovel to remove snow from a dish!

Ever try to lift 10lbs. on the very end of an 18' aluminum pole, using only your wrists, holding the opposite end of the pole? Had I not done specific weight exercises to strengthen my wrists and forearms to shoot hockey pucks? Ain't happening. And even worse, Sunday is my 2 hour ice skating day.

Your title "Snow Again "?  No way I was gonna pass on my story. =^..^=

@Latonya , Yes., I'm in the Lehigh Valley.

@queendiva , you're in my neck of the woods. I just was talking to my friend in Wind Gap and they are detouring the traffic off 33 because of an accident. Don't know if it was N or S bound.

I'm in NE PA and I think that in the first hour of the first snowfall of this season we got more snow than the whole winter last year.  I'm so tired of shoveling.

We are getting more, too, in New England.  I think it's harder to take this year, since our indoor activities are restricted and we can't travel anywhere to get away from it.
