No two years are the same when it comes to winter temps in PA. I am 39 and have seen balmy 75 degrees or as low as neg 10 during rifle season since 1985.
Snow on the other hand is even less predictable.
Did you get lucky enough to be out of town in '93 when the Pocono Record headline was "life is no fun at -21*" That was six days where the daily high was below zero, and it hit 26 below at my place. Spent many years building in the Lake Harmony area, and sunrise temps. of a few degrees below zero are not too unusual in the second half of January. You are right about how crazy and unpredictable it all is though. I had one winter where grass seed sprouted between Christmas and new years, and have worked without a shirt, tossing concrete forms around, in January.
