Still mainly just snowing at coast. By 3 00 a. M. We will see that snow make it to i95. From tomorrow sun up to sundown it will be snowing lightly to the north and west, possibly mixing at coast that could hold down totals, ground is warm some it will melt on contact but when you talk about snow all day for period of eight to 10 hours you will get accumulation. This is first accumulating snow of the season, totals im about to show you are on untreated grassy surfaces but side road could get covered so be safe out there if you find yourself traveling in the area heres what to expect. Find your location on the map coat to go 2 inches in far North Western suburbs, in the advisory area that chelsea showed you two to four along i95 corridor and across south jersey and delaware that is jackpot zone four to six plus inches. Mixing can hold totals down but any banding could cause those totals continue on crease so that is something we will have to watch.
