Bob I haven't been up to camp yet but a local told me there is about a foot and a half on the ground in the cross fork area with a good layer of ice mixed in.
Thanks Doug,that's not too bad.That ice and snow layers is what makes it heavy.And thanks for the link goose.That's interesting to see the difference throughout the region.
Rich,the bottom strand of my pasture fence in 18" off the ground.This morning the snow was still above it and that's on top of the hill where the snow blows it off.I would say we have every bit of 2 feet of snow pack.Things are starting to cave in.I had some customers lose sheds and carports last week.My kid has been riding a 4 wheeler over the top of the snow without sinking in.
Called my cousin that lives across the valley from camp Sunday or Saturday night. Said there's about two feet generally around the area, with some nasty drifts here and there. NW Tioga, near the Potter and NY lines.
Said it's been one of the coldest winters he can remember, with quite a few double digit subzero nights. Was 25 below up there not long ago.
I'll be heading back up to Cross Fork, Potter County on Friday. I'll have updates over the weekend.
I'm actually more wondering about ice-out on Kettle Creek, and hoping there is no flooding from ice jams. This warm weather (and some roan) is not good for the typical slow melt we need for a safe, non-flooding spring. My place is right along the creek, so this is an annual concern!

I'm heading to my place on Bailey Run in southern Potter tomorrow. I've heard we have 12-18" on the ground. I'm about halfway up the mt. We'll see soon. Haven't been up since bear season, so I'm really excited. Going to re-do our kitchen.
