If you live in the mountains you probably had more snow than anybody else.
The valley cities didn't get much of anything. Even so, it was still the first snow of the season and people in the Hazleton area were dealing with it the best way possible.
The snow shovels were put to good use early Friday in the higher elevations of Luzerne County.
Locations picked up another early season accumulation after a record-breaking snowstorm just about a year ago.
"Its unusual two years in a row, but you take what you get I guess," said Tom Stauffer of Freeland.
Life went on as best it could as school children lined up at the bus stop. Only side streets were snow covered, as PennDOT worked to keep the main roads clear.
"Although roads remained slushy and wet the bigger problem appeared to be trees coming down and branches falling on power lines across the region.
At the height of the storm PPL reported about 1,500 without power across Luzerne County.
In Freeland borough anywhere between three to five inches fell.
Raymond Coll took a brief break from shoveling to talk about the snow. "We could do without it," Coll said. "You just keep your snow shovel handy and the snowblower gased up. What are you going to do?"
The little ones certainly knew how to handle the snow, which was perfect packing for snowballs.
