Snow and rain is expected throughout Friday before switching to all snow after about 4 p.m. Snow accumulation is expected to reach 1 to 3 inches on Friday, then another 5 to 9 inches overnight Friday into Saturday.

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

Sandy could also simply move out to sea and that would be the end of it. The National Weather Service predicts no severe weather for the Bucks and Montgomery areas at this time, but states: "The remnants…
