...HEAVIEST SNOW OF THE DAY WILL BE AFFECTING THE EVENING COMMUTE...

ABOUT 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW HAVE ACCUMULATED MAINLY ON GRASSY
AREAS SO FAR TODAY. THE UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE THAT IS EXPECTED TO
ENHANCE THE SNOW IS APPROACHING THE REGION. OVER THE NEXT THREE TO
SIX HOURS THE HEAVIEST SNOW OF THIS EVENT WILL AFFECT THE REGION.
AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO ARE LIKELY TO ACCUMULATE ESPECIALLY IN
THE NORTHERN PHILADELPHIA COUNTIES, CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW
JERSEY. THE SNOWFALL INTENSITY WILL BE HEAVY ENOUGH TO START
ACCUMULATING ON SOME UNTREATED AND SECONDARY ROADS. WE ARE ALSO
LOSING THE INDIRECT INSOLATION FROM THE SUN WHICH WILL ALSO MAKE
IT EASIER FOR THE SNOW TO STICK EVERYWHERE. DURING THE EVENING
COMMUTE, PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY AND WATCH FOR REDUCED
VISIBILITIES. PLEASE BE WARY WHILE DRIVING ON BRIDGES AND
OVERPASSES AS TEMPERATURES ARE SLOWLY FALLING TOWARD OR BELOW
FREEZING.
