Kathy and monica breaking it all down in 15 seconds. What a day and anything that appears wet out there thats slightly melt asked all going to refreeze. The slush, the roads, it will be quite slick overnight tonight where we see areas that have been untreated. The temperatures 34 degrees just went up a few degrees late this afternoon it feels like its only 22 with the sustained wind of 24 miles an hour. Thats out of the northwest. When we see the northwesterly wind we know that were on the back side of the storm and the storm is pulling away off the coast of new england. A few spotty snow showers left. This one entering into western Chester County and were just going to be seeing it moving through west into limerick possible fool wilmington toward Delaware County and Montgomery County with a few snowflakes. When we look at those new jersey totals, we expected less snow in jersey because well see more mixing and that was the case in florence nearly 6inches of sn snow. Mt. Holly 5inches the same in pennington mercer county. Brick township four. West deptford four and Berlin Township 2pointinches of snow. Looking at temperatures in the 30s in the philadelphia area and most of pennsylvania. But look at this huge dip in temperature. A trough in the jet stream that helped to guide that storm off the coast. Temperatures in the 20s in chicago. Memphis 37. Jackson, mississippi, only 46. So very cold air down to the deep south and its going take awhile to lift these temperatures back up. As we look hour by hour, well see a few lingering snow showers otherwise skies partially clearing tonight. And during the day tomorrow with those strong northwesterly winds a few snow showers or snow squalls late in the afternoon with blustery conditions. Winds gusting to about 35, even 40 miles an hour tomorrow. So as we take look tomorrow well see those winds gusting to 37 in millville even through dover and Atlantic City. And during the day tomorrow, the strong winds gusting from 30 in philadelphia to 43 miles an hour through south jersey and delaware. So we have the wind and we have the cold.

Lets talk about the next system thats going arrive friday night and into saturday. Could lead off as snow here in the Delaware Valley but quickly change into rain as we head into saturday.
