zones, there is a battle zone going on and this is about a 35 mile difference from norristown to williamstown there could be a 10 inch difference in that 35 miles in the snow amounts because of how much snow or sleet or rain mixed in somewhere in the zone. whether it's philadelphia or farther down to the south. we also know 45 to 50 miles per hour winds east of philadelphia. and 35 to 40 miles per hour winds inland. that is still powerful winds that will create additional power outages and the snow is heavy and wet and hard to shovel and remove where it stays all snow it will stick to the trees and wires and again more power will go out during the day tomorrow. >> all right thank you. >>> "action news" reporter dann cuellar is live at the facility in norristown. what are they doing to get ready here. >> reporter: well jim that is music to their ears here at penndot. they had a good dress rehearsal learning from the mess last week and strategizing and expecting to have all hands on deck for this. >> penndot crews there is no rest for thet days after dealing with the last nor'easter they are ba
