Northeastern Pennsylvania was initially blanketed by snow showers the morning of Dec. 2, which has since transformed into slush due to a wintry mix that has caused messy conditions in the region.
00:00We're here in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where this once snow-lined beautiful street earlier this morning has, unfortunately, as you might be able to see behind me, has turned into slush here.
00:11Now this rain-wintry mix that we're currently seeing moved into the region early afternoon time, making conditions very difficult across northeast Pennsylvania.
00:21We saw a wide range of those conditions throughout the day today.
00:25It really depended on where you were throughout the area. The Lehigh Valley, for example, saw anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of snowfall.
00:34But the further north you went, the higher the accumulation. Places like Lehigh Inn and Jim Thorpe saw roughly 3 to 5 inches of snow.
00:44As for road conditions, it's been a tough day for drivers and a busy day for local and state police.
00:50Lots of stalled-out vehicles, wiped-out cars and tractor-trailers that really struggled to make it uphill in some locations.
00:58Local officials still warning drivers to take things slow behind the wheel, especially as that early morning snow turns into ice in some locations.
01:08As for families looking to enjoy the snow, the day for that was seemingly cut short, but not before seeing this family enjoy the back roads in their neighborhood.
01:20We bring you back to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
01:23We're going to continue to track those conditions throughout the day as the rain continues to come down.
