33 degrees and we actually are going to drop from there as the snow starts to pull in and it will be cold enough to support the snow on the roadways this morning despite the warm temperatures today especially because we'll be pounded with snow. snow is arriving overnight and here is future tracker 6 and 2:00 in the morning just on the outside of the region and between 2:00 and 4:00 we start to push into philadelphia and it gets heavy during the morning rush hour, all the deep purple is a steady heavy snow banding across the region and you see how the snow line pushes down to the coast and by noon it looks like things are lightening up and heavy stuff is ending 9:00 until 11:00 and western suburbs are beginning to dry out and 2:00 or 3:00 most of the snow is to the east and we may return melting sunshine into play and temperatures will won't help us out much. and precip is getting ready to come in 35 in philadelphia and maybe the first initial flakes

melt on the roadways, that is possible. all right -- then we get later into the morning we are back down into the 20s and we stay below freezing for the rest of the snow event. it's warm today because of the heavy banding of snow and it probably sticking on the road surfaces quickly tomorrow morning. mode models, 3 to 6 inches across the region and this brings the higher band closer to us. we go for a 4 to 8 inch and less and less as you go down south if we do go down over 8 the best chance is the lehigh valley and up to the poconos and by the way this will be a heavy wet snow it's tougher to shovel. hard on the hearts and hard on the backs and take breaks, you could overdo it. a lot to deal with in the next 24 to 48 hours. 68 was the high and starting to

drop and snow starts tonight and continuing in the morning and gets windy and cold and windchills in the teens and 20s oh my. and a cold one on friday and a snow shower up north on friday night. otherwise we are back to 47 on saturday and rain on sunday, 53. >> i may have believed the snake part. no snakes. >> where is samuel l. jackson when you need him.
