The sun sets over Meshoppen and Mehoopany townships in Wyoming County (top) as seen from Auburn Township in Susquehanna County on Monday afternoon.

Additional snow is unlikely before and immediately after Christmas this year, leaving only those in the highest elevations of the Endless Mountains like LaPorte in Sullivan County and much of the Susquehanna County plateau (above) with a snow pack for the holiday.

Snow showers could precede light rain on Saturday morning, with another chance of rain on Monday. There is a chance for rain changing to snow later next week. The eight-day forecast follows:
