October Winter Storm in Pennsylvania Schuylkilll County

It really was a surprise to have 6 inches of snow fall October 29, 2011. It was the first time we had a snowstorm this size in over 100 years.

This snowfall caused power to go out and caused road closing here in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The main reason being that the snow was a real heavy, wet snow that caused power lines to fall and tree limbs to break.

The following day the temps got into the high 40 and quickly proceeded to melt the snow and ice from the night before.

Schuylkill County had its first snowstorm early
October 29, 2011.

Internet service was intermittent both days, while land line phones were also without service for a number of hours.

Only about a week ago, forecasters were predicting this would be a mild winter in terms of snowfall and also temperature. If this is any sign of the coming winter I may have to buy a new snow shovel since my plastic one is already cracked
