IT IS AN ALERT DAY.     SNOW HAS BEEN FALLING FOR HOURS NOW. IN SOME SPOTS, YOU ALREADY HAVE AN INCH OR TWO ON THE GROUND, SO THAT WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING. YOU SEE WIDESPREAD SNOW. IT COULD BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES. WE\u2019RE TALKING SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2IN PER HOUR LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE REALLY WATCHING THAT LINE OF SLEET. HOW FAR NORTH DOES IT COME AND HOW DOES THAT IMPACT OUR TOTALS? SO I AM THINKING THAT ESPECIALLY ADAMS, YORK AND LANCASTER COUNTIES, YOU WILL SEE UP TO A FOOT OF SNOW, BUT YOU COULD ALSO GET A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SLEET, PROVIDED THIS LINE GETS AS FAR NORTH AS WE THINK IT WILL. MOST OF THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, THOUGH. 12 TO 18IN OF SNOW. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR BIGGEST STORM IN FIVE YEARS FOR THE MORNING. EVERYBODY SEES SNOW IN THE AFTERNOON. IT\u2019S SNOW AND SOME SLEET. SOUTHEAST EVENING STILL SNOW AND SOME SLEET SOUTHEAST. AND THE WHOLE STORM STARTS TO WIND DOWN AS WE APPROACH THE LATE EVENING. I THINK IT\u2019S OUT OF HERE BY MIDNIGHT. THE BAD NEWS IS, IF YOU\u2019RE OUT IN THE SNOW SHOVELING, IT IS GOING TO BE FRIGID TODAY. LOOK AT THESE TEMPERATURES. THEY\u2019RE GOING TO STAY IN THE THIS IS THE WINDCHILL IN THE PINK. AND THAT IS DEFINITELY IN THE LOWER SINGLE DIGITS.
