Here’s a news flash for you:
Depending on where you live, you may encounter a dusting of snow on roads and grassy surfaces this morning.
This, of course, has caused severe hyperventilation among the TV news types.
It appears to depend on just where you’re located. I drove in from the west and did not encounter any snow at all until I hit Springfield Road in Springfield.
Untreated road surfaces apparently are causing havoc in some areas that got the brunt of the snow, which includes the eastern and southern sections of Delco across into South Jersey. A number of crashes have been reported.
It is January, folks. It gets cold out. And it might even snow.
I’m not positive, but I don’t think it’s reason enough to “storm” the supermarkets.

Here's a look at some traffic problems, courtesy of Fox29. South Jersey apparently has the most problems:
CINNAMINSON, N.J. - Drivers had a really tough time of it overnight after an overnight dusting of snow left local roads and highway slick.
FOX 29's Sue Serio says the thin coating of snow was barely measurable. Philadelphia officially picked up 0.01 inch of snow. Parts of South Jersey and northern Delaware got a coating from the snow burst.
A crash briefly shut down the Schuylkill Expressway eastbound between the Vine Street Expressway and South Street around 11:30 p.m. That stretch later reopened.
The fallout included a fender-bender on the Ben Franklin Parkway shortly before midnight.
And there were more problems at around the same time in Ridley Township, Pa., where Interstate 95 meets Interstate 476.
The accidents weren't life-threatening, but they did cause a lot of problems on the roads.
And at the Cherrywood Plaza on Blackwood Clementon Road in Clementon, N.J., there was a solid coating of snow by 1:30 a.m.
