lehigh valley. you can see darker purple shading around lehigh, down into portions of berks county where some of the heavier snow has fallen thus far. we have a winter weather advisory northwestern half of our viewing area, upper bucks, montgomery counties, western chester and up in the lehigh valley and berks county a winter storm warning for poconos where it has been snowing intermittently on and off all day and will continue overnight and tomorrow morning and some spots could end up as much as 6 inches of snow there future weather shows by about 2:00 a.m. we will see the mixture change over to some snow here in philadelphia, and between two and 7:00 is when we will get our snow in the city. i will start as rain down the shore. eventually mixed with and change over to snow for vast majority of the region. here's 5:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. still snowing but by seven or 8:00 this is starting to wind up and work its way out of here. we are looking at an inch in philadelphia, perhaps a coating in south jersey and delaware as much as 3 inches in the north and western suburbs and possibly, as high

7:00 is the main crux of the snowstorm here in philadelphia but it is already snowing and snowing at a pretty good clip in our far north and western suburbs, areas that will see the most, in terms of accumulation with this storm. lets go up to the poconos. quick look, first and foremost jack frost big boulder where snow is coming down pretty steadily right now. it has been snowing on and off all day long but this is heaviest we have seen so far and i also want to take to you bethlehem northampton county which is seeing snow now, as well, you can see a coating, and looking slushy on the road there on main street and everything is getting white, by the minute, and it looks like it will continue to snow there, through at lee, the next, four to six hours, possibly even into the early morning hours, seven or 8:00 o'clock. slow your roll. watch out. if you are out there it looks like the carriesing pretty good on main street but road are getting covered especially these side streets. i want to take to you our live neighborhood network at pleasant valley high school in broad headville where snow is

falling. it is stuff to see but you can see in the streetlights there the snow is coming down pretty steadily. 29 degrees there. now this system extend all the way from new england right on down toward new orleans where snow is working its way in to southern lou san, these areas, not used to seeing this kind of snow, down south, but for us, it is a run of the mill storm. it may extort ought as a little bit of ray -- rain or mix but it is picking up over upper bucks and montgomery counties areas included in the winter weather advisory. but looking weak in the southern even. some that means south of philadelphia areas and south jersey may not see quite as much snow. so far though we have had almost 3 inches in effort a in monroe county, slating ton, already seeing 2.3. new tripoli, 1.5 inches. just shy of an inch in reading lehigh valley international is clocked in .3 so far but we will be add to go that total. we are doing so right now. here's the problem. temperatures are still above freezing. so a lot of this will melt on

contact and ratio vice slow with this storm. that will keep our amounts low as well. thirty-nine in philadelphia. and 41 in reading. this is not an impressive total, it is just more of a timing type storm. overnight snow starts to work its way n here's 3:00 a.m. starts snowing steadily around philadelphia starts as rain down the shore. and then changes over to snow every where. here's 6:00 a.m., still snowing, continuing, into about 8:00 a.m. before it pushes out. not much in the way of accumulation over south jersey and delaware n fact some spots may not see any snow at all. but between, now and 2:00 a.m. that is when the snow is pushing south 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. that mixture to a period of snow and after 7:00 o'clock tomorrow morning, the snow will taper quickly, so, we've gonna head and given you yellow light for overnight commute. mixture to some snow. morning commute will be slippery, snow falling but your afternoon commute looking fine with breaks of sunshine. once we get this storm out of here we will go from wintry to warm, and go from the 30's all the way to the 40's on friday

and then into the 50's, by sunday, the weekend looking pretty fantastic. so, again, it is just overnight into early tomorrow morning, many spots wake up to snow, you need to brush off cars, looking at an inch of accumulation in the city and then much better weather taking us through the weekend but of course like you said this isn't an accumulation storm but timing storm and our morning team will go on early at 4:00 a.m. meteorologist katie fehlinger and matt peterson will have all of the details to get you through the morning. >> team he effort, thanks, katie. >> don with sports up next. >> jj not having a good time, reddick will miss time with an injury, talking sixers. vikings defense is scary, a scouting report from the eagles sports coming up next.

,000 deaths in america last year. we need to stand up and say enough. the only way this problem is going to be solved is if we raise our voices. choose help over helplessness, hope over hopelessness. make sure that the lives we've lost will not have been lost in vain. addiction is a disease. when you ask for help, help is there for you.

from the theater of the absurd, an eagles fan was eject from the grounds of lincoln financial field saturday. while leaving, he reportedly, repeatedly punched a police horse. the bird play the vikings sunday. please, people, let's be better then that. the eagles have a chance to do something they have not done since january 2005, clinch a trip to the super bowl. some throw back video of their win over the atlanta falcons, b west, b mack, a party in south philadelphia. once again they are four quarters away from a celebration. >> that was work of being in this position. this game i have been they are twice i know what it is like to win it and lose it. i definitely cherish being in this position and knowing we will work hard to be here. we have to go out there and do our job. >> this is everything that we worked hard for, from training

camp, otas and during the season to put ourself to be in this position to be at home for this game and having our fans behind us and going out there and just executing, and playing lights out. so i'm looking forward to sunday, as i know the rest of the team ties. the vikings defense will be the best unit in the game. second against the pass, second against the run, they are first in total defense and number one in points against. they only allow 15 per game. >> they are the best defense we will face this year and one of the reasons why is they can get pressure were four, you know, cover with seven, anytime you can get pressure were four and cover with seven that is the key to our defensive success. that is a winning formula. that has been a proven winning formula for a long time. this week is a good test of that. to the ice, on paper the timing is perfect, the flyers looking for their fifth win in the row. rangers trying to avoid their

fourth straight loss, and too bad games are not played on paper. madison square garden the scene no score in the fourth, radko gudas shoes, flyers lead two minutes in the game. rangers were not scared. rick nash on the break away, beating brian elliott, and the game is tied up at one. still in the first rangers, power tripping, and jt miller, gets it past elliott and new york now on top. later on, the flyers, wow, turning it over and paul kerry , all alone, and the orange and black get hammered at nyc they lou five-one. sixers are off tonight. they look for their seventh win in nine games, thursday in boston. unfortunately they will do it without jj reddick, shooting guard has a crack in his left leg. he will be reevaluated in 10 to 14 days, and jj's averaging

17 points per game. meanwhile dario saric and timothy, dunking in center city. like literally. >> yes. >> they were handing out doughnuts, serving coffee right below our office here on spring garden. >> i'm laughing at the crowd they are like tiny. >> exactly. >> look at that. >> taking selfies. >> all smiles. >> good times. >> thanks, buddy. >> up next we will show you how eagles fans, living in the peach state celebra
