Mayor Michael Nutter declared a snow emergency for the City of Philadelphia Saturday morning.
That means if your car’s parked on an emergency snow route and you don’t move it, it will get towed.
400 trucks are out salting and clearing streets, Nutter said.
“If you don’t need to get out today, don’t,” said Nutter, although the Flyers and Sixers games were still on at the Wachovia Center.
Hundreds of flights are cancelled at Philly International.
Heavier snow is falling in Philadelphia and Delaware, Chester and Lancaster counties, as well as South Jersey and Delaware.
Already we’ve seen reports of 10 inches of snow across portions of Delaware and South Jersey.
A snow emergency was also declared for Upper Darby Twp.
The heaviest snow is expected between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. today, and to continue through this evening. The snow is expected to become lighter overnight and end Sunday morning, but Sunday will still be cold with highs near freezing.
