Brit brittney said its 32 here in pottstown, it feels like the mid20s. So definitely that temperature is dropping and you can feel it.

And theres a little sleet mixed in here in pottstown. As you look at this parking lot, theres a considerable dusting of snow in some parts and then just kind of a slushy accumulation slippery in others. As we swing the camera around im going to walk over here to east high street. Its where weve been for the last hour and a half or so. You can see east high street is pretty clear of any accumulation. The plows have been out. They have not been plowing or salting the surfaces. Ive been watching just kind of out, patrolling monitoring the area. But the main stretches for the most part are pretty good. If i just walk over here this is a sidewalk. It kind of blepdnds in with the grassy surface. This is the sidewalk. I would say barely a quarter inch. Im going to get out my ruler in the next half hour because i think we might be able to show you some accumulation. For the most part here the snow is falling at a pretty slow moderate speed. The flakes are not as big. Its mixing in with sleet a little bit. The temperature is dropping, and you do have some accumulation. So well be here throughout the morning. Im still monitoring pottstown schools on their website.

You also want to make sure that if youre parked on the side of the road try to move that vehicle if you can.
