It’s far from a winter wonderland but those in our area who have been yearning for some snow are getting a tiny treat.
Light snow began falling in the Lehigh Valley around 8 a.m. on Thursday before pushing through Philadelphia and the surrounding Pennsylvania suburbs. The snow then reached South Jersey and Delaware.
Little to no accumulation is expected in the Philly area and only up to half an inch of snow is expected in Delaware. Still, there was enough snow in northern Delaware for one family to do a bit of sledding.

Nearby New Castle County Airport reported 0.7 of an inch of snow, according to the National Weather Service.
