Communities prepare as weekend storm may, potentially, bring significant snow

It looks like the Philadelphia area will get snow for the second weekend in a row.

But, just how much we will see is — both literally and figuratively — up in the air as things could change significantly between Wednesday and Saturday evening when the National Weather Service expects the snowfall to begin.

NBC10’s First Alert Weather team say to expect snow in the region but just how much is unclear because it’s still too early to determine the path of the weekend storm.

But, the National Weather Service expects a “significant storm” to impact the region from Saturday through Sunday night — potentially into Monday — bringing with it “several inches of snowfall.”

This could amount to the region seeing six or more inches of snow this weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

In order to prepare for the potential storm, communities throughout the region were preparing ahead of this weekend.

On Wednesday morning, NBC10’s Neil Fischer was in Plymouth Meeting, in Montgomery County to see how preparations were going.

He found the municipality recently got a new shipment of salt, a much needed resource after a storm over the past weekend brought snow, freezing rain and ice to the region.

PennDOT, however, has plenty of salt and, officials said, they plan on helping support communities once they see how much the potentially storms impact the community this weekend.
