George, glenn hurricane schwartz says more snow is on the way within the hour. The biggest concern for most of the area, temperatures dropping and then refreezing. On the roads, even on the sidewalks like here on broad street, any precipitation could ice over. Nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz and tammie souza here with us. We start with glenn. Whats the situation like now . The temperature is above freezing. This is really the best time to try to get rid of the snow, but its still deceptive because its not that deep. Its heavy. This is heart attack snow. This is the type of snow that you need to use your knees, not your back because this stuff is like wet cement. And do it now rather than when its absolutely frozen. Youll have a block of ice later tonight. Then tomorrow morning, too. So as difficult as its going to be now, it will be that much harder tomorrow and were going to be seeing a little bit more. George will be getting this snow shower pretty soon and its moving straight to the east just about getting into chester county, east nottingham getting it now, coatesville in a little bit. Pottstown will get it soon, too. You can see new london in the path of this. And knocks the visibility down and puts moisture on the roads.

Oh, its awfully fierce. It feels like january, right, glenn . Nothing at all like march. Although i think theres some light at the end of the tunnel by the time we get to the weekend. Right now were dealing with all this snow. Glenns right, you want to get out there and clean it up if you can. If you have time this evening. Pace yourself. We are dealing with a half foot or more of snow. Take a look across all of the counties. This is what has fallen. Malvern picked up 7 inches, royersford picked up 7 1 2 inches, upper darby picked up 6 inches of snow. A substantial amount of snow fairly impressive considering all the sleet that fell and a little bit of ice mixing in with that. We thought these totals might be a little higher but not to be. Heres something that you have to be concerned with, the temperature falling. Weve talked about it. But this is the difference from the same time yesterday. So were 8 degrees colder at the airport in philadelphia. And were going to continue to see the temperature falling, the wind chill is going to get you because its going to feel like the Single Digits at times.

One of the main things the city has been talking about is as youre clearing your sidewalks and the areas around your house, to make sure to clear your drains so that the storm water can go down those drains.

The city of philadelphia at the height of this storm had about 400 of these types of trucks full of salt, about 50,000 tons of salt available. And theyre deploying it all throughout the city.
