six in philadelphia. five at the bus stop in wilmington and new castle coun county. one in reading. feel like one in lancaster and even in trenton it will only feel like 4 degrees. it doesn't get much better. the noon hour okay it feels like 12 in pottstown. it feel like 14 in philadelphia. but remember whatever is not covered is going to be very cold because that wind takes that warm layer right away from your skin. temperatures are going to be in the 30s in the afternoon. but look about 5:00 o'clock it feels like it's in the teens pitt he much everywhere. then the snow comes in and our new models are showing it could come in earlier. no problems in the morning. but by the evening, after 7:00 o'clock at night, the snow moves in. it's snowing at about 10:00, 11, 12:00 o'clock and moves out during the early morning hours so it's dry in the air for the morning rush but the snow will be sticking very quickly on untreated surfaces. so that will be for thursday morning. so by thursday
