Nor'easter Ends With Coating of Snow: Your Wednesday

The Nor’easter that made life chilly and soggy on Tuesday will do more of the same today.

The National Weather Service predicts that we could get another inch of rain before we are done with this storm.

It will start out a little warmer, with temperatures in the 40s, but a stiff northwest wind will drop the temperature into the 30s by 5 p.m. Some time after that, the rain could switch to snow, but the accumulation should be no more than a coating.

However, with all the moisture and a temperature dropping below freezing, the roads could become treacherous on one of the biggest travel days of the year. Exercise caution.

Here’s what else is going on in South Whitehall today:

• All of the schools in the Parkland School District will have early dismissals. At the high school and Orefield and Springhouse middle schools, parent-teacher conferences mean a 1 p.m. quit for students. Elementary pupils are being dismissed at 1:45 p.m. to start the five-day weekend.

• The Parkland Community Library will close at 5 p.m.

• Tonight is the first night of Chanukah and South Whitehall-based Chabad of the Lehigh Valley will be a driving force behind public Menorah lightings planned in Bethlehem and Easton tonight.

• Toronto, Celtic roots-rock band Enter the Haggis comes to the Musikfest Café at SteelStacks in Bethlehem for an 8 p.m. performance. Tickets are from $20 to $30.

• You have until Monday to donate new and unwrapped toys to The Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots program. Check out our list of local establishments where you can drop off your donation.
