light snow not accumulating snow. you may be like is what going on here just left over instability that can sometimes lead to residual snow showers and only take you out here you'lle what we're talking about. taking a live look at sky cam three it is coming down at a good clip out that way but again when we go next, to our storm scan three what you will find here is generally things are wining down, thinks a three hour loop and zoom it around a little bit here and take a look at where this is coming in, and, really, even northeastern, philadelphia, take a look at portions of montgomery, bucks county, it is picking up some very light snow. looking at precipitation rates out of this. it is very light. sometimes storm scan can look like it is really a heavy snow coming down but that is not what it is. so things are not necessarily verifying quite that way at the actual ground level. thirty-six is our current temperature at the airport, we are marginal with freezing and we are seeing snow flakes out there with that little residual pocket of moisture. thirty-three in allentown. it is 27. outlying suburbs, everybody is basically close to freezing. so with that said, if there are any untreated roadways or maybe some slush left behind from the snowfall we could see that freeze back over again this morning if the road has not been treated. watch that, you have to take your dog for a walk, outside on the sidewalk, it could be a little slick and that goes for your driveway too. please be careful. walking through rest of the day, again, it is generally looking at a cloudy day i a say for residual renegade snow showers still out there but only expecting 40 degrees this afternoon and that is, far chillier than average standard for late november. you have to bundle
