like it is going to have just ton of moisture with it, so, as it moves in, it is mainly, i would say tomorrow afternoon, we see some snow moving in, generally from west to east. and then we'll probably even pick up an inch, maybe up to 3 inches of snow, before the warm air surges in, and allows that freeze to completely turn over to rain. that also goes for the poconos, so while you may see accumulating snow, a lot of it will get washed away through the overnight hours of saturday, into sunday. now, here are your current feels like values. this is how it feels outside folks. these are the numbers to go by. fourteen below in both philly and trenton, 32 below in mount pocono yes dangerous is the word for this kind of cold. technically we'll hit 16 degrees today. you can't go by that. factor in the winds at all times. we'll see windchill advisories expire at 11:00 a.m. this morning, thankfully the wind eases up, still cold tonight. easing up even more so through sunday, 45 balmy degrees by comparison on sunday, we'll still have some rain to deal with, then things are clearing out, i would say no later
