...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EST THIS
MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW...WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EST
THIS MORNING.

AN AREA OF SNOW WAS MOVING ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...THE
NORTHERN DELMARVA AND MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY THIS MORNING.
ONE COOPERATIVE OBSERVER IN HONEY BROOK REPORTED THREE INCHES OF
SNOW ON THE GROUND AS OF 7 AM EST. THIS AMOUNT IS VERY LIKELY ON
THE HIGH END OF WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED THIS MORNING...BUT ONE TO
THREE INCHES OF SNOW IS QUITE POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF THE ADVISORY
AREA. 

FOR THE MOST PART...THE SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE ON GRASSY SURFACES...BRIDGES
AND OVERPASSES...AND ANY ACCUMULATION ON ROADWAYS WILL DISAPPEAR
AS THE MORNING WEARS ON AND TEMPERATURES RISE SLOWLY.
HOWEVER...ROADWAYS WILL ACCUMULATE AT LEAST A COATING OF SNOW AS
IT FALLS AND VISIBILITIES WILL DROP TO ONE HALF MILE OR LESS IN
BRIEF MODERATE SNOW BURSTS. THE MORNING COMMUTE WILL BE
CHALLENGING...AND MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO BE CAREFUL. SLOW
DOWN AND LEAVE AS MUCH ROOM AS POSSIBLE BETWEEN YOURSELF AND
OTHERS. IT IS BETTER TO ARRIVE LATE THAN NOT AT ALL. 

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE
TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY ROADS AND LIMITED
VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.
