WAYNE COUNTY, Pa. — It wasn't long after the sun came up that people started to trickle into the Iron Hill gas station near Waymart, venturing through the snow to get to work or home, unhappy that this was even happening. Many schools were closed due to the wintry weather, and James Bailor hoped to have his own snow day.
"I was hoping for a lot. It's going to be the last one, hopefully, so I was hoping for a lot. Maybe call out of work, but that didn't happen."
Carly Granville gave herself some extra time to get to work in case the roads were still slick.
"It's OK. It's a little wet, a little icy, but it's not too scary so far, but I just started."
Then there were those who had already put the winter weather behind them, like Dakota Beavers. He had to stop and dig out his ice scraper to clear off his car.
"Yeah, had to pull it back out. I've left it in the trunk, but it's been crazy," Beavers said. "I wish it was summer."
The snow in Wayne County was very wet and heavy from the snow, then rain, then more snow.
Walter Wittig had a late start for work because of it, but he said he wasn't using the extra time to clean it at his house.
"I ain't going to shovel this. no way!" Wittig said. "It's supposed to be 70 on the weekend, so why bother?"
Thousands are also without power across the area Tuesday.
