Snow Storm
....................
Photos on the photoBlog.

My plans for travel were dashed yesterday, as soon as I knew the snow was coming. But I was surprised at how many people were out on the roads yesterday afternoon when I went out walking.
Of course some people needed to travel yesterday. For example, a medical professional I came upon while walking yesterday on Market Street in Kingston. The man's car was stuck in the snow at the side of the road. There wasn't much I could do to help. But a guy passing declared he'd get the car unstuck, and he rounded up some young men who were walking on the other side of the street, and they did get the car unstuck, and the man on his way.
This morning I was a little surprised, and so were others I have talked to, that Wyoming Avenue was such a mess this morning. I had thought surely they'd have the Ave. cleared by this morning. But someone pointed out that the reason it was a mess was probably because it's a state road & PennDOT was likely too busy with the highways. Though, Wyoming Avenue in Exeter was a lot better than in Kingston.

WBRE 28 Meteorologist Dave Trygar said the largest snowfall total previously recorded on a Christmas Day was 3.8 inches in 1909. More than 10 inches of snow was recorded on Dec. 26, 1969, but that mark was surpassed as well.

Accumulations throughout the Scranton area hovered near 12 inches. In the northern reach of Wayne County, stormtrackers reported upward of two feet.
