Snow showers - mostly light - will continue through 10-11pm tonight.  Expect a bit of a lull until about 5-7am, when the second phase of snow gets going.

Snow continues, heavy at times, before tapering about 8-10pm Wednesday night.  Scattered snow showers (and light snow) are possible overnight and into early Thursday morning.

Accumulation (in Berks) will be 8-12 inches, with isolated areas seeing higher totals.  Due to the heavier snowfall, roads will become snow-covered, causing travel impacts.
