Philadelphia region digging out from winter storm | Live Updates

When Philadelphia issues a snow emergency, major roads that are designated as snow routes will restrict parking.

There are 110 miles of snow emergency routes in Philadelphia. Snow emergency routes are marked with large red signs reading "Snow Emergency Route" in white letters.

Car owners must move their vehicles along these routes once a snow emergency is declared. Your car could be ticketed or towed if you don't move it.

If your vehicle has been towed from a snow emergency route, call (215) 686-SNOW (7669) and press option four. Do not call 911.

The latest forecast models continue to nudge this weekend's winter storm track farther north.

The Euro model shows an area of low pressure to our south helping to steer the system, leading to the potential for an icy mix across parts of our region.

Some locations, including southern New Jersey and southern Delaware, could even see a period of rain before the storm wraps up, the Euro shows.

The GFS model is also trending warmer, now showing more mixing across the Philadelphia region and even some rain in Delaware.

That's a notable shift from just a day ago, when it had projected all snow across the area.

AccuWeather is currently calling for a 55% chance of a major snowstorm with 6 to 10 inches of accumulation.

There's also a 25% chance that totals could exceed 10 inches.
