...Heavy snow for a time this afternoon in the Poconos...

Snow will fall moderate to heavy at times this afternoon in
Carbon and Monroe counties of northeast Pennsylvania, with
heavier 5 to 6 inch amounts probably confined to the western part
of both counties and the higher terrain. Travel will become quite
hazardous this afternoon, especially with poor visibility and
occasional 1 inch per hour snowfall rates. Snow should mix with
and change to sleet and freezing rain between 4 PM and 7 PM and
then end by 10 PM.

Sharply falling temperatures into the teens after 4 am Monday,
will solidly freeze any remaining moisture and keep the risk of
icy spots for the Monday morning commute.
