Overnight snow that continued through the morning created messy travel conditions throughout the area.
Overnight snow caused messy driving conditions Friday morning, resulting in accidents, cars off the roadways and traffic jams. Newtown Township police reported multiple accidents and vehicles off the roadways. Specifics on all the incidents weren't immediately available. However, police said a tractor trailer went off the road on Second Street Pike near Swamp Road causing a backup of traffic. Route 532 (Washington Crossing Road) was also closed for a period of time in the morning because a car lost control and went into a ditch. Like Newtown Patch on Facebook for instant updates.

On Tuesday, the Weather Channel predicted a "significant accumulation" of snow could fall on Friday. But today, the forecast calls for just a few inches.
Don't rush out for your bread and milk just yet. The Weather Channel's prediction Tuesday that the area could be in for "significant snow" on Friday has been retracted. The Weather Channel now says there's a 60 percent chance of a snow shower. Accuweather predicts just an inch or two will fall. But hang on to that scarf and mittens; it will be very cold through the week. The forecast through Friday calls for temperatures in the low to mid 20s. Overnight lows on Thursday could plunge to 11 degrees. Things will warm up a tad next week. According to the Weather Channel, highs Tuesday will be in the mid 40s and it could get up to 50 degrees mid week.

Winter's making a prolonged appearance this week...and it could snow more than once before the week is out.
The incoming cold regime will bring some rather cold temperatures by Philadelphia standards to our region ― highs on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday may not break 30 degrees as we get in the grip of some pretty cold air across the eastern half of the nation. This cold has been largely in the Great Basin so far this month ― parts of Nevada are running more than twenty degrees below normal! Temperatures here won't be that cold, but could go down to ten degrees colder than average over the coming week. Along with the incoming cold, light snow and flurries could cross the region later on Monday with a weak clipper and also on Wednesday with a relatively weak disturbance. Monday's system may be more substantive than Wednesday's but either …

After flirting with March-like temperatures, we're going to return to winter around the Delaware Valley, with colder temperatures lurking down the line.
Reality in January isn't temperatures in the 50s or even 60s. "Normal" is highs in the 30s to around 40, which is the air that's more likely in our cards over the coming days. A cold front slides on through during the course of Monday and begins the downward descent in temperatures, with our temperatures dropping from the upper half of the 50s on Monday morning to lower 30s around the region by Tuesday morning. Along with the frontal passage, a wave of energy will push northeast along the front and spread light rain and, perhaps, some light snow along with it. Given the push of the front southeast through the region, the shield of light rain and snow may miss the northwest 'burbs of Philadelphia but be better confined to South Jersey and …

The National Weather Service reports that Bucks County can expect about an inch of snow overnight -- enough to make Tuesday's commute slippery. The Hazardous Weather Outlook posted by NWS states that an additional inch or so could accumulate Tuesday, possibly mixed with rain. Any remaining snow will probably be washed away by afternoon rain. Here's the NWS forecast:
A chilly week of weather is ahead of us...and light snow may be in the forecast for Tuesday.
This month is shaping up as not only our first month of below average temperatures since August of last year, but also, potentially, the coldest November since the late 1990s. Before you fret and wonder if this is the beginning of a long, cold winter of discontent, November is not necessarily a harbinger of what winter will bring. Several cold Novembers have been followed by warm winters (2007, 1997, 1996 to name three over the last couple of decades). This November will close on the same chilled note on which it began, as temperatures for the balance of the month will average out a few degrees below normal. Included in that chill this week is the potential for some light snow on Tuesday. At this point, it looks likely that precipitation…
