At 7:00am, the snow is starting to break up. Only scattered snow showers at this point across Schuylkill County...


At 9:00am, radar starts filling back in. Most of us would be seeing light snow again...

By 12pm, in the image below, you can see light snow wrapped up. This is the end of the first wave of precipitation...

Wave #1 snow has a hard time sticking since it's only LIGHT SNOW. Therefore, a light coating to maybe a half inch will be on the ground by noon. Some areas may not see any accumulation at all through noon...

FROM 12PM TO 5PM there will be a lull in the action...


NOW WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS WAVE #2

The image below is slated for 5PM Monday. As you can see, a wintry mix is starting to move into the circled area...

Blackhawk Arms 835 Penn Drive Tamaqua, PA 18252 570•386•4000
New and Used Firearms Benchmade Knives

In the image below, you can see 7PM projected radar. Yep, everyone is under the wintry mix..


Here's 9:00PM...wintry mix going strong....


1:00AM Tuesday - Plain rain is starting to filter into lower elevations as temps are rising. Elevations are still holding onto the wintry mix...


5:00AM Tuesday - Plain rain for everyone. Icy situation is completely over...


Total snow from Wave #2 - a general 2-4" across the Schuylkill County area...
