A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT
FRIDAY. 

A COASTAL LOW HAS SPREAD SNOW OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND RAIN
AND SNOW IN THE VALLEYS ACROSS THE REGION. ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS
THE REGION HAVE AVERAGED 1 TO 3 INCHES WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ON
THE POCONO PLATEAU IN PENNSYLVANIA.

WHILE THE SNOW HAS BECOME LIGHTER, IT IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST
THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO
IS POSSIBLE IN MOST AREAS WITH THE GREATEST ACCUMULATION ON NON
PAVED SURFACES. WITH THE SUN GONE FOR THE DAY AND TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED TO REMAIN AROUND OR JUST BELOW FREEZING, SOME ICY SPOTS
WILL DEVELOP ON UNPAVED BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. 

SO FAR MOST OF THE REPORTED POWER OUTAGES HAVE BEEN OVER THE LOWER
TERRAIN OF THE POCONOS. THERE ARE STILL LEAVES ON THE TREES. OVER
SOME OF THE HIGHEST TERRAIN WITH CONTINUED ACCUMULATING SNOW, SOME
TREE LIMBS SHOULD COME DOWN FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE SNOW AND CAUSE
WIDELY SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES.

AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES FARTHER OFFSHORE THE INTENSITY
ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOULD COME TO AN END DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY
WITH TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 5 INCHES, HIGHEST ON THE POCONO
PLATEAU. 

MOTORISTS SHOULD WATCH FOR SLIPPERY TRAVEL OVER THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. SOME BRIDGES AND
OVERPASSES MIGHT BECOME SLIPPERY AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN AROUND OR
JUST BELOW FREEZING TONIGHT.

ANOTHER COASTAL LOW SHOULD BRING MORE MIXED PRECIPITATION INTO THE
WEEKEND. 

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