Media featured on ABC (Good Morning America), CBS, NBC, TWC, Fox News and AccuWeather. Storm Chaser Eli Roberts began storm chasing in 1995 when he, two of his brothers and some friends started a local chase team called Dark Sky's Chase and Response Team, or DSCaRT for short. When an F0 tornado caused damage in the Hughesville area in 1994, the event literally blew the door in on Eli and sparked a

n ongoing battle to learn and study these beautiful, yet terrifying monsters. Now in his 29th year of storm chasing, Eli provides local and national media outlets with video packages covering every type of weather related event(s) that occurs in and around Northcentral Pennsylvania, including in the states of New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Ohio.

Here comes more snow!

Snow will return to the region over the next 72 hours! A strong cold front will drop South out Canada and bring strong winds, a brief shot of colder weather Tuesday (with highs not getting above 25-30° for most) and then heavy lake effect snow will put down more snow afterwards!

Most of the snow will stay North of I-80, except for the higher terrain of the Laurel Highlands.

Light accumulations of a trace to 1" is possible across portions of Pennsylvania, with higher amounts the further North you are. Areas downwind of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario could see upwards of 12"-18" when all is said and done.

Nothing huge and not a big snowstorm (I'm sorry) this time. Current models do show some signals over the next week so more unsettled weather and measurable snow is likely so stay tuned!

When it's 40° and the Sun is shining, there is nothing better than taking 10 minutes and just soaking in all of that good solar stuff!

Who else just stands outside and feels "energized" and "recharged" by the Sunlight?

My drone nearly died and for a second I thought I was in trouble!

It was very cold and I was surrounded by ice and water.

Brand new video upon YouTube!

This is video of yesterday's adventure flying my drone and capturing the break up of the ice jam near the railroad bridge in Muncy, PA.

Link is in the comments below.

I hope you check it out and if you like the video, hit the Like button on the video and leave a comment.

Thank you!

Ice Jam on the Susquehanna River!

The Susquehanna River at the railroad bridge and down the river was completely covered with ice!

That ice jammed up the river and made for an icy, colorful river blockage.

I'll have a video coming out tomorrow on my YouTube channel showing all the ice and what happened as the crunching, breaking and snapping of the ice resulted in a freight train of ice breaking free and flowing down river!

For tonight, check out these drone photos I snapped today just before the ice jam broke free!

A very cold morning here in Hughesville as my weather station recorded a low temp of -5.8°F at 6:45 AM. Do you have an outside thermometer? How cold did it get at your place?

Bitter cold has a firm grip across ALL of the USA from the US/Canada border all the way down to the Gulf coast where BLIZZARD WARNINGS are in effect in Louisiana and Eastern Texas!

Since historical record keeping began, no blizzard wanings have ever been issued for this region. Reports of 7" of snow in Lafayette, LA and now on the beaches of Texas and Louisiana is incredible!

Winter Storm Warnings stretch from South Central Texas all the way to the North Carolina coastline.

Extreme Cold Warnings also are in effect all across the US from the Southwest, to the Northern Plaims and into Pennsylvania.

Cold Weather Advisories stretch from the Great Lakes down into the deep south!

Even Florida will get in on the action with snow and ice, through the Panhandle to Jacksonville.

Seeing Winter Storm Warnings in place this far south is amazing, but seeing Blizzard Warnings is absolutely incredible! This entire region is not prepared for light snow let alone a blizzard!

Keep these folks in your prayers as many homes aren't even insulated against this kind of weather.

Our cold will continue so stay warm and dress in layers. Check on those elderly and with disabilities. Make sure water is either off or dripping in cabins and other buildings to avoid busted pipes.

Let's take a look at the last snowfall forecast that was issued on Sunday morning and the reported snowfall that occurred!

NWS State College did a darn good job at totals!

I know it's not the banger of a storm as far as totals are concerned, but all in all it slightly overperformed when it comes to totals.

Does this storm total map match what you got?

If you have pictures of the snow, drop them in the comments for us all to see. More chances of snow coming but we first will deal with THE DEEP FREEZE!

Final Update

The latest winter storm is here and already dropping snow across the Mid-Atlantic US and parts of PA.

Radar continues to show this storm moving Northeast bringing snow further North and East. Southern PA is getting snow and as time goes on, conditions in Northcentral PA will begin to deteriorate.

While it's hard to be sure, the heaviest snow will likely stay South and East of Rt. 220 and could very likely stay South and East of I-81. Lycoming, Sullivan, Clinton and even Columbia Counties could all see no accumulation in the Northern parts of those counties while the Southern and Eastern corners could all see 3"-6" of snow! There is dry air to the North trying to undercut the moisture and prevent snow from reaching the ground.

Currently it's mostly cloudy, with sunshine and flurries here in Hughesville.

Who has snow? Post your pictures below and let us know how much snow you have!

🚨 ALERT 🚨

⚠️ Winter Storm Warnings Issued ⚠️

⚠️ Winter Weather Advisories Issued ⚠️

As I expected, Central Pennsylvania is now under Winter Storm Warnings (Pink) and Winter Weather Advisories (Purple) for tomorrow's snow storm!

Behind the snow storm will be an arctic outbreak that will bring bone chilling cold temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday. Extreme Cold Watches are in effect and those will likely be turned into Warnings as we get into Monday!

Stay tuned!

⚠️ UPDATED SNOWFALL FORECAST ⚠️

The National Weather Service has updated its forecast for snowfall across Pennsylvania and surrounding states through 7 AM Tuesday.

Today we will see snow (and some rain) showers move through in advance of the bigger storm that comes tomorrow! Some slippery conditions could be possible later today.

Sunday will be the day! There will be plowable snow for most of Pennsylvania on Sunday, especially the day and evening. For those of you in Eastern PA, and in higher elevations, you could see up to 12"!

Even though this storm comes tomorrow, there is still plenty of "wiggle room" in the storms track. Several major weather models, while they agree that there will be a storm, don't agree on its track.

The GFS (American) model has the center of this storm off the coast, lowering snowfall for portions of Central PA.

The CMC (Canadian) model has the center further West resulting in lots more snow for Central PA.

The EURO (European, not pictured below) model has the center of the storm much further East out to sea and not doing much for Central PA or even Eastern PA.

While this will be tricky, mostly likely the Central counties of PA should see between 1"-6", yes a wide range but many things determine more or less snow. The further East you are, the more snow you'll see.

Regardless of the snowfall, Tuesday and Wednesday will be absolutely FRIGID with tenps falling below ZERO in many places!

Tuesday and Wednesday morning forecasted low temps are for below 0 temps all across the region, with Wednesday morning likely being the coldest temps we've seen in a long time!

I'll update everyone this evening on snowfall and the cold!

Have a great day.

Snow is coming!

It won't be a huge storm (I'm sorry) but some areas could see 1"-3" of fresh snow.
Most of the Northcentral valley and ridge areas should see snow showers throughout the day today, although they will be light. Heavier snow and snow squalls will occur closer to Lake Erie and across the Binghamton, NY region.

Snow should be an all day thing tomorrow (Thursday) but again not heavy.

Hopefully the snow will be a pretty snow and give everyone a chance for pretty pictures and videos.

Tonight's adventures brought the Full Wolf Moon (100% full) and Mars into the same images! The Mars and Moon conjunction has happened!

Mars moved behind the Moon from bottom left to top right and these images show the very minute that Mars moved behind and came out from behind the Moon. Can you see Mars?

I hope you enjoy these. It's very cold with a clear sky so seeing the night sky, even with a full Moon, is very easy.

Enjoy!

Eli,

MARS WATCH!!!

Mars is about to go behind the Moon! It will become visible again at approximately 10:31!

Tonight's Full "Wolf Moon" - The First Full Moon of 2025

Currently the Moon is at 99% visibility and with it being Winter and tomorrow's 100% likely blocked by clouds, I wanted to get the first full Moon of 2025! If skies are clear(ish) and I can get a shot of tomorrow nights Moon I will share that at well but just in case, here it is!

"The first Full Moon of 2025, also known as the Wolf Moon, is set to light up the skies on January 13, 2025, bringing with it transformative energy and emotional shifts. Named by Native Americans to mark the winter season, the Wolf Moon symbolizes heightened emotions and unspoken feelings."

Patchy clouds are all across the sky in my area of Northcentral PA. Did you get a chance to see the Moon tonight? If not, try to get a glimpse.

The sky is always a little cleaner, crisper and the Moon seems more vivid during this time of year. While it's chilly, I had no problem standing in 30° air while getting this shot!

I hope you enjoy it.

Squad 26 from Picture Rocks went screaming down Rt. 405 (Main Street) in Hughesville responding to a reported structure fire in Montgomery! #

I look back and it's funny now, but at the time it was awful. In 2021, I thought nothing could go wrong. Then I hit a deer, drove home, drove to work the next day, drove to a body shop to have my vehicle fixed and it was towed away! I never saw my car again and insurance screwed me out of my car. Just when I thought it can't go wrong, it all went wrong! Everything happens for a reason and I'm thankful I wasn't hurt and the deer didn't hit someone else's vehicle and injured them. Enjoy the show! #deer #DeerCollision #dashcam #dashcamvideo #dashcamvideos #everythingwentwrong #funnymoments #funnyreels #reelschallenge #reelsfacebook #reelsviralシ #reelstrending #reelsviralfb #reelsfypシ #facebookreel #facebookreelsviral #FacebookReelsContent #facebookreelsvideo

Check out this awesome view! Heavy snow was falling all across Pennsylvania early Thursday morning.

Here Comes The Rain!
Here Comes The Rain!

It what feels like forever, rain can be seen on the below RadarScope radar loop, and it's moving across Pennsylvania! While it's a wonderful sight and something we need desperately, it's not going to be enough to even tough the drought or reduce the risk of wildfires as we move into the new work week. It is a blessing for sure, but remember, this doesn't mean you can start burning garbage and trash and brush. This rain will evaporate quickly and we will be back to extremely dry conditions tomorrow! For today, enjoy the rain!
