Thursday will be a breezy and very cold day in the Philadelphia region after a major winter storm moved south of our area and dumped up to a foot of snow in Virginia.

Philadelphia is bracing for a wintry mix on Saturday that will be closely followed by another weather maker next week could bring snow to our area.

It hasn’t quite matched the record 10.2 inches that transformed Norfolk, Va., into a winter wonderland on Wednesday, but snow showers and light snow have persisted in the Philly region, leaving small (as in very small) accumulations and slickening some roads.

Our NEXT Weather Alert goes back into effect Saturday as another storm system approaches the area bringing snow by mid-late morning Saturday.
