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.

"This is the first time these guys have even sledded," mother Kim Caulfield said.

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

The top accumulation from the Thursday morning snow came in Reading and Bern Township in Berks County, Pennsylvania, where 1 inch of snow was reported.

The snow was expected to taper off later Thursday and we could see some rain in the early afternoon. Conditions will remain cloudy with highs in the low 40s. We’ll see a warmup on Friday with highs in the low 50s and a mix of sunshine and clouds.
