..DRIVE CAREFULLY THIS MORNING...
 
SNOW HAS MOVED INTO THE REGION THIS MORNING AND WILL BE LASTING FOR 
SEVERAL HOURS. THE INTENSITY WILL VARY FROM PLACE TO PLACE WITH THE 
VISIBILITY LOWERING TO LESS THAN ONE MILE IN SOME AREAS. SINCE THE 
TEMPERATURES ARE SO COLD...THE SNOW IS ACCUMULATING AS QUICKLY AS IT 
FALLS. THE SNOW WILL END AROUND DAYBREAK OVER MOST AREAS. 

AS OF 115 THIS MORNING...THE SNOW EXTENDED FROM THE SOUTHERN LEHIGH
VALLEY TO THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND...ACROSS TO DELAWARE AND 
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. THE TEMPERATURES WERE GENERALLY IN
THE TEENS AND WILL BE HOLDING STEADY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
NIGHTTIME HOURS.

TEMPERATURES IN THE SOUTHERN POCONOS HAVE DROPPED TO NEAR ZERO. 

THE TEXTURE OF THE SNOW IS DRY SO IT CAN BE EASILY BRUSHED OFF 
VEHICLES BUT THE SNOW WILL ADD A SHEEN TO THE ROADS MAKING TRAVEL 
SLICK THIS MORNING. MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO USE EXTREME CAUTION ON 
THE ROADWAYS THIS MORNING SINCE THE VOLUME IS VERY LIGHT AND YOU 
MIGHT BE THE FIRST VEHICLE DRIVING ON THE SNOW COVERED ROADS.
