Philly snow forecast: More snow for Poconos, Lehigh Valley as nor'easter wraps up with wind and rain
PHILADELPHIA - The Delaware Valley's first winter storm of the season is coming to an end more than after a day of snow, rain and a messy mix across the region.
However, some precipitation will linger from the nor'easter on Sunday for several areas.
A mostly dry night will be followed by some more snow and rain in the morning.
That snow will fall mostly in the Poconos, splitting into parts of the Lehigh Valley, Berks County, and upper Bucks and Montgomery Counties.
Snow accumulations are expected to be about an inch or less for all those spots, except for the Poconos, which will grab an additional inch or two.
