Current US Drought Conditions:
I live south of Pittsburgh, PA and I would love to see a big snow storm this winter. At least one! I haven’t seen a big snow storm in years. I used to live in upstate NY in the Catskills about 10 miles west of the town of Catskill and I can remember always having big snow storms. I haven’t seen winters like that in south western Pennsylvania yet!
I live in NE PA, the Poconos. And I absolutely love a big snow storm with moderate Temps 32° and lots of snow! 12 inches or more! So pretty! Wish we would get a white xmas, Always seems to come end of season.
Enjoy& be safe ☆

Thanks for the message Mike. We don’t make forecasts ourselves. Feel free to write to accuweather and ask. Thanks.
would like a little more info for Marquette,mi wintwer forecast!!
would like more info on what kind of winter 2016-17 we can expect here in Marquette Michigan specifically!!
How much snow will NYC get this winter 2016-2017?
I think they meant northwestern PA.
Sure wish the “heavy snow” was a little further north. People in S NY and PA don’t seem to appreciate a good snowstorm like people in the Adirondacks and Northern NY. I guess it is because in the winter we don’t have a lot to talk about except the weather….But, I have to say there is nothing more beautiful than a good covering of snow and the silence it seems to bring! We’ll keep our fingers crossed….
I live in NE PA, and I love the snow. I also love how quiet it seems when there is snow.
