The NWS in mount holly put out a nicely detailed PNS regarding the wicked weather that occured here last night. Im the one that reported the -12 windchill , car accidents, and 1 inch of snow in Tobyhanna. Its amazing how much chaos 1 inch of snow could cause during evening rush hour when temps are in the teens.
