delaware valley up to the lehigh valley poke poe know region a few flurries the bulk of this will return and move into the area later tonight. so we've even seen some sun trying to break out it's actually not that all bad of a start to an afternoon but we mention that winter weather advisory you'll notice philly is not included in that winter weather advisory. we are expecting snow to accumulate but not enough to meet the criteria for an advisory. however far north and west you i don't feel got this in place and you will expect to see little bit more in total with this disturbance moving through. we currently stand actually warming up mid 40s even in atlantic city. in philadelphia we're currently at 38. expecting to actually end up at a relatively seasonal level here the temperature hovers around 40 both at the shore certainly here in the city with more clouds than anything for not with the snow moving in later in tonight you guys said it tomorrow morning's commute is not looking ideal by any stretch. so we'll talk totals a little bit later on. >> all right. katie, thank you. it certainly not our first

katie back in the wept center toiling away. [ laughter ] >> forecasting weather. >> exact. this is how i toil. >> half laugh. >> i know what you mean. it's been busy day for sure.

we had some snow that came in early this morning. it wasn't necessarily something that you could spot on the radar. so we to rely strictly on ground confirmation. so thank you to all of our "eyewitness weather" watchers. it's not too late to shine up. shameless plug. we'll get you all signed up. the snow is actually still falling in some places like the poconos for example. we'll start things off by going outside take you on a little tour here around handful of cameras this is actually a shot from place one apartments over mid-county to the highways things are looking quite right now. we did actually see a little bit of very light snow move in around this region. didn't have chance to stick or accumulate necessarily but this is one spot that will certainly be impacted by the snow tomorrow. all of us will be. it's just you see more in some places rather than others. so let's get next to our pocono camera where folks are making the most of this. it is still snowing. if you look closely you can see over at at leave the darkened

trees the flakes flying with lots of people hitting the slopes here into the afternoon with some fresh powder. but the snowfall totals so far are not all that impressive they'll get more impressive with time. that first little round that came through hamburg in berks county half an inch. even at phl airport just a trace but again not much at least initially that will start to total up little bit later on tonight into early tomorrow especially. here's the latest couple of hours loop. actually look back at six hours past on this radar. so take look. you'll see this edge lead in as far east as parts of chester, montgomery and buck county. right. that's the furthest it gets and that was early this morning. but it was actually snowing and leaving behind a dusting in new castle county, delco, parts of philadelphia county, so it was actually falling and not showing up on the radar. it was very light precipitation. the cloud layer was very very thin it didn't have a lot of moisture with it so sometimes that happens. we're things are falling from

the sky and the radar is not pick up on them but as we've been saying, this is a system that's strong way out all the way back to the lone star state in fact some snow falling right now. the winter alerts are very numerous. they extend all it way from maine straight back into texas whether it's winter storm warning or winter weather advisory like we have there's millions of people that are impacted by this one frontal bon degree. here's what it current feel like. 38 degrees in the airport feeling hike 42. very close to where the actual air temperature is. right. let me show you the cold coming in the wake of the front much can you tell where the frontal boundary has crossed through already? it is telling like 3 degrees currently in nashville by comparison and it actually feels colder in birmingham than it does here. so that tells you something. it is a very very stark contrast in the wake of the front we get in on some of that cold ourselves. let's walk you through this. here's the actual pattern. had little bit of snow early on here comes the frontal boundary late tonight and then into tomorrow morning. that we see the bulk of this come through it's not that

impressive when it comes to snowfall totals in the city but you can end up with half a foot in the northwest corner of our area here. we'll get to the snow map in a minute. great at the time impacts from us definitely going to happen tomorrow morning simply because the timing is not great and even though it's not a major impact with the snowfall totals, with the timing that's coming in the morning, of course a lot of us trying to hit the road and get out the door that will linder you highest amounts will do to the north and west. so here it is. our exclusive eyewitness snowfall map. get a little hoping for a little slow down toward the shore points. one to three follow along i-95 and the immediate vicinity. but here's the sweet shot. three to 6-inches along that northwest half that's where you do have the winter weather advisories posted and you've already had some accumulation from earlier on. looking forward though i promised you some warming trend. didn't i take a look at this by friday back to where we should be low 40s but in the sunshine that sun will shine through the weekend. if you're like me and you have yet to take down your christmas decorations this could be really

good weekend to do that. then of course the huge game at the linc on sunday. looks very mild. i'm not sure if that's good thing or bad thing when it comes to minnesota team but regardless, the weekend all in all looks pretty good. >> get to the weekend. >> you said it. >> thank you. tis the season for colds if you've ever held in sneeze listen to this. a recent medical journal highlighted the case of a britain man who actually suffered a neck injury by colding in powerful sneeze. >> the force sent irrelevant and matter crashing into the back of his throat calling a small tear in this trachea. he didn't need surgery but he was in the hospital for two weeks. >> jim didn't you hurt yourself once. >> i let the sneeze out. i throughout my back. i was like in pain for week. >> my gosh. >> cautionary tail. both avoid dust apparently. >> on that note, we're coming right

coming up later today cold and flu means you may be giving your children cough officials. health officials are warning against one time of medication that could actually do more harm than good. we'll tell you more about it today at 5:00. >> meantime we are brace fog more snow. live picture from bethlehem northam couldn't county right now. some parts of the area could get 6-inches before this storm wraps up tomorrow. >> katie is here with final look at our wintry forecast. >> yeah it's really the northwest half that has the best shot to see up to 6-inches out of this. had little batch that moved through still snowing in the poconos right now. and for philly any way still a modest -- more modest at least one to 3-inches the expectation

but because of its timing since it will be coming through the typical morning commute that will slow you down. my advice just set your alarm early give yourself extra ten minutes and you'll safe yourself the headache but we start to warm up from there. >> that will be nice. >> thanks katie. >> everyone knows that picture is worth a thousand words. >> missouri family was left speechless upon receiving their professionally taken portraits. this family says photographer contacted them about taking their picture. well eight months later $250 later the professional photog gave them these. faces appear like creepy cartoons they almost look like they're out of a horror movie. they asked for the originals back but not awry fun they say they think the pictures are funny. >> the picture are hilarious. when i saw this yesterday i was in tears. >> apparently the photographer was dealing with shading issues didn't know how to do -- >> what kind of shade. i got shade for him.
