...SNOW CREATING VERY SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND WILL IMPACT THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING COMMUTE...

AN AREA OF SNOW CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION, WITH THE
HEAVIEST SNOW FALLING ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE AND
THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND. THE SNOW WILL LOWER THE VISIBILITY
BELOW A MILE AT TIMES. THE DRY NATURE OF THE SNOW AND THE VERY
COLD GROUND HAS COMBINED TO ALLOW THE SNOW TO INSTANTLY ACCUMULATE
TO ALL UNTREATED SURFACES. THIS HAS CREATED VERY SLIPPERY ROAD
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION. SOME REPORTS RECEIVED INDICATE
HAZARDOUS ROADS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE
AND MARYLAND.

FARTHER TO THE NORTH INCLUDING THE PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN
AREA, THE SNOW AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED NOT TO BE A LOT, HOWEVER IT
WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO MAKE UNTREATED ROADS VERY SLIPPERY. THIS
SNOWFALL WILL IMPACT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING COMMUTE. IF TRAVELING
INTO THIS EVENING, USE EXTRA CAUTION AS UNTREATED ROADS ARE OR
WILL BECOME SNOW COVERED AND VERY SLIPPERY. THE HEAVIEST SNOW
AMOUNTS WILL BE ACROSS MARYLAND, DELAWARE AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY.
