All snow to eventually mix of sleet and freezing rain. In fact as we head to the south, the blue is all sleet and freezing rain and millville smyrna now approaching glassboro and hammonton all rain at the coast in southern parts of new jersey and this will continue to inch from the south to the north as we go through the evening hours. Youll see a coating to 2inches more especially north and west of philadelphia where we still have that snow going on. Very slick on untreated surfaces where you have that transition period of sleet and freezing rain and it changes eventually over to rain a little bit later on tonight. In fact, the area of concern when were talking about a period of icing here this evening of that sleet and especially freezing rain is really north of the pennsylvania turnpike, most of northern Chester County, Montgomery County, bucks county into the Lehigh Valley poconos berks county and Lancaster County where we pick up between a tenth and 210ths of an inch of ice before
So, this is what we can expect. As far as accumulating snow, this will only be in the northwest suburbs from now and were not looking at much. Were looking at about a coating to an inch of snow.

The biggest concern for this will be where the cold air holds in the longest and this will be all areas really north and west of the pennsylvania turnpike, through the Lehigh Valley and the poconos. This is where we could get a pretty light glaze of ice, about. 10 of an inch to. 5 but that could cause more problems with the icing. Its about the temperatures. For details and the time line lets head to adam. Cecily southern areas along the shore temperatures are already bouncing into the upper 30s, Atlantic City airport at 36 degrees, wildwood 37 degrees
