Dealing with some messy weather coming in right now it did deliver about half foot to foot of snow in parts of the midwest, and right now, it is bringing mix of snow and rain into part of the northeast.

Right now though, snow showers, the leading edge of this system, doesnt look like it will be more organized or i guess heavier until later tonight around midnight, but for now weve got some snow showers, ban montgomery, bucks county at least showing up on radar, and drifting down toward delaware county, philadelphia county, so maybe some flurries out there.

Winter weather advisory for everyone else, just for the onset of the storm. Could have slippery storms from initial snow and ice before change to go rain. Thirtyeight in the city
