February 2, 2000
An area of light snow has overspread the region today and is currently pressing eastward.
Snowfall totals should be very light (nothing like last week), with the largest accumulations
of perhaps 2 inches from Allentown north and west. Currently, a half inch of snow has
fallen in central Delaware County and should continue periodically throughout the night
and Friday morning. Accumulations of no more than an inch are likely right in our neck of
the woods (Ridley, Upper Darby, Springfield). Again, light snow and flurries will
occassionally develop over our area tonight and will shut off by Friday morning. Although
accumulations will be very light, use caution driving. Old ice patches from prior storms will
be covered by the light snow and unrecognizable, so don't let your guard down. Ice with a
light coating of snow on top can often be just as dangerous as black ice (because you
really don't see it and know that it is there). Be safe and warm!
