A small system is moving in from the west and a bit of snow will fall overnight. I think the National Weather Service's call for 2 to 4 inches is a bit on the heavy side, but not to say it couldn't happen in isolated locations. Best call I think is 1 to 2 inches, maybe an isolated 3. If you're heading south into our Berks County neighbors' territory, a coating to an inch or two at best. Just a dusting to perhaps very little to nothing near Philly. Key times will be from about 1 a.m. through the early morning hours of Saturday. I'd recommend not venturing out until the afternoon Saturday if you don't have to, to let the road crews do their thing. Another batch of light snow is possible later in the weekend, followed by a brief respite Monday followed by our second huge arctic plunge of 2014. Expect highs barely through the teens by mid week! Still no MAJOR snowstorms on the horizon, but I think it's only a matter of time before the atmosphere breaks down and lets one of these quick moving mini-storms blow into a bigger storm, probably during the last week of January.
