Grassy surfaces across the Lehigh Valley, Bucks County, and the Pocono Mountains could pick up about a half-inch of snow. A few flying flurries or spotty rain showers could sneak into our suburbs and pass I-95 through late afternoon.  

Otherwise, Tuesday in Philadelphia promises to be cold, breezy, and mostly dry.   

On average, the first day of measurable snow in Philadelphia is Dec. 9.
