DUSHORE, Pa. — Our journey began in Hughesville, where no snowflake stuck to the ground. The roads were clear but wet, and the grass and trees were dull and bare.
As we traveled past Muncy Valley and onto Route 42, it was a different story in Sullivan County, where old man winter arrived a bit early. Keeping first responders busy.
"We were up the road on another tree, and a passerby came up and said when you're done there, there's another one on down the road, so we've been out all morning," said Mark Carl, Assistant Fire Chief Eagles Mere Volunteer Fire Company.
The snowy road conditions didn't stop people from coming out and driving through the heavy white stuff.
"Coming up the hill, a couple of tractor-trailers jack-knifed, especially before they went ahead and plowed it. It's very slow, very treacherous if you don't have snow tires. If you don't know how to drive in snow, I would recommend you stay home," said Rob DeFeo of Sonestown.
"Nah, I'd like to see about two or three feet, and we get it sometimes, but it's gonna go a little bit, and then it's gonna sputter and stop; it always does. I've been up here 12 years so," said William McKnight of Dushore.
Rob DeFeo from Sonestown says he's enjoying the snowy weather and is looking forward to any type of weather. He offers some advice for those traveling.
"My kids enjoy the snow. It's nice, it's like everything else in this world you just have to change your behavior, you have to adapt, you can't drive 55, 60 miles an hour, you can't be in a hurry," said DeFeo.
