ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Much of Berks County and the Lehigh Valley saw a few inches of snow, but at this point, the roads around our region are mostly wet.<\/p>\n
69 News Reporter Rose Itzcovitz was\u00a0live in Allentown, assessing conditions in center city, where a snow emergency was lifted.<\/p>\n
Rose saw everything from wet, to slushy main roads in the city and townships nearby. We ran into plenty of people spending lots of time shoveling their cars, sidewalks, and driveways out.<\/p>\n
“Oh it’s nice out for February. I’ll take this any day,” said\u00a0Allentown\u00a0resident\u00a0Stan Zmitrovich.<\/p>\n
“I mean, it’s not that bad, it’s been a warm week,” said resident\u00a0Jose Martinez.<\/p>\n
“What would you tell folks today if they haven’t started shoveling yet?” Rose asked Martinez.<\/p>\n
“They need to start now because it’s gonna freeze,” he said, laughing.<\/p>\n
“I thought it was going to be worse because when it started coming down it was stickier so I thought it would be the heavier, stickier snow, but I guess overnight it started to get into the fluffier stuff,”\u00a0 said\u00a0Stevie Czerwonka, of Salisbury Township.<\/p>\n
Mayor Matt Tuerk said the city’s parking decks will be available for free parking until 6 p.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Much of Berks County and the Lehigh Valley saw a few inches of snow, but…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":121413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[214,119,121,120,232,1133],"class_list":["post-121412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-allentown-area","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
