Snow began falling early Monday morning across the Quakertown area as the first wave of winter weather moves through Upper Bucks County and the Lehigh Valley.
According to the latest forecasts, temperatures are hovering near 30°F, allowing the initial precipitation to fall as light snow. However, as the morning progresses, much of the region will see a shift to a rain/snow mix, followed by plain rain later in the morning and early afternoon.
📌 Current Conditions
- Snow currently falling across Quakertown, Richland, Milford, Haycock, and surrounding areas.
- Temperatures around 30°F, with road surfaces near freezing.
- Light coatings are possible on grassy surfaces, vehicles, and untreated roads.
❄️ Forecast for Today
Meteorologists say Upper Bucks County is expected to see a dusting to 1 inch of snow before the transition to rain.
The Lehigh Valley — especially higher-elevation areas — could pick up 2 to 5 inches before the mix takes over.
Timeline for Today:
- Early Morning: Light snow
- Mid-Morning: Snow mixing with sleet or rain
- Late Morning – Afternoon: Mainly rain
- Evening: Cloudy, temperatures in the mid-30s
⚠️ Travel Impacts
Roads may become slippery early, especially in neighborhoods, rural roads, and bridges.
Once rain becomes dominant, travel should improve — though slushy or icy patches may remain.
Commuters should be prepared for:
- Low visibility during bursts of wet snow
- Slush on untreated surfaces
- Possible black ice tonight as temperatures cool
🧊 Regional Notes
- Northern Lehigh and western Northampton may see the highest totals.
- The Quakertown area is too warm for significant accumulation, but snow is likely to stick briefly.
- No major plowable totals expected in Upper Bucks.
