You may walk out of your house Wednesday morning, look to the sky, and think: "Eh, this nor'easter isn't that bad."

But a few hours later, the formidable winter storm will likely be choking travel and your sanity into submission.

Heavy, wet snow will fall at such a high rate over a short period of time that it will be dangerous for travel and tough for road crews to keep up.

The NBC10 First Alert Weather Team is describing this part of the storm as a snow thump — coming on fast and strong.

"We're calling it a thump for two reasons: the high rate of snowfall and the type of snow that'll be coming down," NBC10 First Alert Weather meteorologist Steve Sosna said.

One to 2 inches of snow will be falling an hour. For some neighborhoods, the heavy snow will carry on for up to five hours, Sosna said.

The heavy snow will likely start in the late morning Wednesday in the Lehigh Valley and then spread south and east. The snowfall will abruptly slow to light flakes or stop completely. (Here's the latest expected snowfall totals.)

Sosna says the weather team has high certainty that large snow accumulations will pile up in the Lehigh Valley, Berks County and the upper suburbs in the Philadelphia ring counties. The level of certainty decreases around the Philadelphia area because the rain-snow line will hover near the Delaware River. That means totals could go up or down in and around Philadelphia.

The type of snow is also a contributing factor for this particular thump.

This will be a heavy, wet snow that's typically nicknamed "heart attack snow" because of how stressful it is on your body to shovel it.

"Snow from this nor'easter has a higher amount of water in it, which weighs the flakes down and makes the overall snowfall more compact," Sosna said.

Wet snow has a precipitation ratio of 6 inches of snow to 1 inch of water. Typical snow has a ratio of 10 to 1. Fluffy snow has a 20 to 1 ratio.

So what makes one type of snow different from another? The air temperature, Sosna says.

"Temperatures will hover right around freezing for the duration of the storm allowing the snowflakes to carry more moisture," Sosna said.

Heavy, wet snow weighs down trees and power lines. Don't be surprised to see additional power outages as trees weakened by the last nor'easter tumble.

This slushy, thick snow can also gum up train switches and paralyze rail lines. SEPTA has already warned riders that regional rail service will operate on a severe weather schedule, which means more limited service.

Bottom line: The evening commute on Wednesday will be a mess so avoid traveling (if you can) during that thump to stay safe.

With people in the dark for days after a first storm and a second nor’easter on its way, the question is what to do with the food in your refrigerator and freezer.

What should you keep and what should you toss? And, how can you be prepared just in case?

Here are 13 tips from the Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture on what you can do before the power goes out and after (if you lose electricity) to ensure you don’t eat potentially dangerous spoiled food:

Before the power goes out:

1. Make sure you have appliance thermometers (digital quick-response thermometers) in your refrigerator and freezer or at the ready. (The freezer temp should be at or below zero. The refrigerator should be at 40 degrees or below.)
2. Freeze refrigerated items you may not need right away like leftovers, milk, fresh meat and poultry.
3. Be sure to bunch food together in the freezer so that it stays colder longer.
4. Have coolers on hand. The cheap Styrofoam ones can work in a pinch.
5. Purchase or make ice cubes or freeze blocks of water ahead of time. If the power goes out these will help keep the food cold. You can also melt the ice if you lose access to clean water.
6. Speaking of clean water, have a supply of bottled water on hand, preferably on a shelf or counter in case of flooding. Have one gallon of water per person per day for up to three days on hand, according to Ready.gov.
7. Stock up on ready-to-eat foods that don’t require cooking or refrigeration.

1. Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to keep the items inside cold.
   - The fridge will keep items cold for about four hours.
   - A full freezer will remain cold for about 48 hours.
2. If you are in a pinch, always know the closest supplier of dry or block ice. Dry ice can help save your food, keeping a full freezer cold for up to 48 hours.
3. You can always use those coolers you have on hand (or go buy some) where you can keep tightly packed food.
4. Check each food item independently for unusual odor, color or texture. If anything seems odd, or the food feels warm, throw it away. NEVER taste food to see if it’s safe.
5. Food may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40 degrees or below. If any frozen meat, poultry, fish or eggs were exposed to 40 degrees of higher for two hours or more toss it.
6. When in doubt, throw it out.

The USDA has charts for determining when to save or toss refrigerated and frozen foods.

SEPTA, Amtrak and others are trying to stay ahead of the storm.

SEPTA plans to operate its Regional Rail lines on a “Severe Storm Schedule” as snow is expected to hit the region Wednesday.

Most regional rail lines will operate on a Saturday schedule, SEPTA said. The exceptions are the Cynwyd Line, which won’t operate, and the Wilmington/Newark Line to Newark and Churchmans Crossing stations, which will be enhanced.

Similar to weekends, 24-hour weekend train service will be available on the Market-Frankford and Broad Street Lines Wednesday night. Trains will operate every 20 minutes the entire night and there will be no overnight Nite Owl bus service.

SEPTA Customer Service Call Center: Open at 6 a.m. Customers can call 215-580-7800 to speak to SEPTA representatives. You can also reach out to SEPTA via Twitter or check for service updates on SEPTA's website.

The full schedule is available on SEPTA.org.

Amtrak plans to operate its Northeast Corridor and Keystone Service on modified schedules. You can find more information here.

In New Jersey, NJ Transit implemented its Severe Weather Schedule Level 1 on its rail system for Wednesday. This is a limited weekday rail schedule utilized during weather events or other emergency situations. Get more information here. NJ Transit urged riders to sign up for alerts ahead of the storm.

The storm is expected to pose potential power problems around the region due to heavy, wet snow that could bring down power lines and tree limbs already weakened by last Friday’s storm.

There are growing concerns for a Jersey Shore landmark that could be damaged by the incoming storm.

A man grabbed, strangled, punched and sexually assaulted a woman walking through Center City in the early hours of Sunday morning, Philadelphia police said. 

In surveillance video, the victim can be seen walking alone around 5:30 a.m. near the 1300 block of Lombard Street. She was carrying a small backpack and attempted to sidestep a man walking in the opposite direction. Instead, he suddenly grabbed her by the neck and dragged her onto a side street. 

The attack cannot be fully seen in police video, but the victim told investigators she was repeatedly punched in the head and face before the suspect sexually assaulted her and ran off with her belongings. 

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and sustained non-life threatening injuries. 

Investigators are also looking for a second suspect. See both men in the video below. (Warning: The video contains potentially upsetting footage)

Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators. Special victims Unit at 215-685-3251 extension 3252.

A young girl is fighting for her life after she and her mother were struck in a hit-and-run in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia Tuesday night.

The 3-year-old girl was walking with her sibling as well as her 36-year-old mother on the sidewalk along the 3200 block of Tyson Avenue. Suddenly a driver in a white Toyota lost control of the vehicle and jumped a curb, striking the 3-year-old girl and her mother. The driver then ran away from the scene, leaving the car behind, police said.

Both the 3-year-old girl and her mother were injured and taken to Jefferson-Torresdale Hospital. The girl is in critical condition while her mother is stable. The girl’s sibling was not hurt in the crash.

Police have not yet released a description of the driver. They continue to investigate.

A DUI driver who struck and killed a sheriff’s deputy last year was sentenced Tuesday.

Harry Burak, 28, of East Rockhill Township was sentenced to six and ½ to 22 ¾ years in state prison. Burak had pleaded guilty to multiple felonies in the death of Deputy Keith W. Clymer.

On May 16, 2017 around 8:30 p.m., Burak was driving his 2017 Dodge Ram 5500 truck on Route 313 in front of his home. Clymer, who was off-duty, was riding his 2006 Honda motorcycle eastbound near Sterner Mill Road when Burak pulled into his path as he turned left into his driveway.

Clymer, 48, of Kintnersville, was killed instantly when his motorcycle slammed into the side of Burak’s truck.

Burak had a blood alcohol level of .18 percent shortly after the crash, more than twice the legal limit for a Pennsylvania driver. His driver’s license had also been revoked due to four prior DUIs.

Investigators say Burak had left a bar near his home with a six-pack of beer two hours before the deadly crash and had already drank five pints of beer in less than an hour. While Burak still walked about a half-mile to and from the bar, he still chose to drive at some point after, investigators said.

Moments after the crash, a neighbor who was mowing his grass ran across the street and told Burak to call 911. During the call, Burak initially told the operator only one vehicle was involved in the crash and no one was injured before hanging up, investigators said. Burak also flailed his arms and struggled with responding police officers when they tried to take him into custody, according to officials. The officers had to take him to the ground before placing him in handcuffs.

The neighbor showed investigators video of the collision from his security camera which showed Burak didn’t use his turn signal moments before the crash.

Clymer’s girlfriend Megan McCuen said he was on his way home from her house when he was struck and killed. She also said she had been expecting a call from him when he got home as she always did.

“When Keith didn’t call, I knew something was wrong and I went looking for him,” she said. “As I approached one stop sign I looked left and saw all the emergency lights. I screamed, knowing my life will never be the same.”

Clymer had worked as a deputy sheriff for Bucks County since he was sworn in on December 30, 2013. He was assigned to the Domestic Relations warrant team and was also a self-defense/defensive tactics instructor for the sheriff’s office.

Clymer’s colleagues and loved ones described him as a good-hearted and fun-loving man devoted to his work and his two sons.

“Ever since my brother and I were young, we were attached to my dad at the hip. We were inseparable,” wrote Clymer’s 16-year-old son, Rooney. “After the passing of my mom at the age of 15 we became even closer. He was the one that picked me up in the darkest points in my life and brushed me off. He pushed me to never give up … His heart was so big it wouldn’t fit in this room.”

Fellow sheriff’s deputy Greg Appleton said Clymer would, “spend hours of his own time talking to people to get them to turn themselves in” on domestic warrants.

“He gained enormous amounts of respect from his peers in the department, as well as the subjects that he sought after,” Appleton said. “Keith was big on talking to people and truly listening to them to try and help them through whatever issues that person had.”

A powerful nor’easter is threatening to deliver gusty winds and heavy snow to a swath of East Coast states, where crews are still working to restore power to more than 100,000 customers left without electricity after the weekend's deadly winter storm.

The National Weather Service has issued winter storm watches or warnings from late Tuesday night into Thursday morning for than 40 million people from eastern Pennsylvania to New England. This includes Philadelphia, New York City, Hartford and Boston.

New York City could get between 8 to 12 inches of snow, while parts of New Jersey and Connecticut could see up to a foot, and at least 6 inches in Boston.

Whatever the storm ends up dishing out, it’s good to be prepared. Ready.gov has put together a preparedness plan for people in the path of severe winter storms. Here’s what you should know.

Before the Storm

Before the worst of the storm hits, stock up on rock salt, snow shovels and other snow removal equipment to help remove snow and melt ice on walkways. Putting sand down can help improve traction.

If you have a fireplace or wood-burning stove, grab some extra wood or other heating fuel, as you could be stuck in your home for a few days without power.

It's also a good idea to stock up on food, water and medications. Check your stockpiles of essentials like batteries, toilet paper and pet food and test flashlights, battery-powered radios and other tools that might be needed if the power goes out. 

While you’re at it, dig out all the old blankets, quilts and sheets you have piled away in case you lose heat.

If you have time, it’s a good idea to make a “Family Communication Plan.” This will ensure that the members of your family can get a hold of one another if you're separated when disaster strikes.

You can sign up in advance to receive notifications from local emergency services and the National Weather Service. FEMA, the American Red Cross and other organizations have free apps that can provide up-to-date information about shelters, first aid and recovery assistance.

During the Storm

When the storm hits, with wind and snow whirling outside, it’s best to stay indoors and keep warm.

If you have to go out, walk carefully through snow and on icy sidewalks. Avoid getting your clothes wet, as soggy clothing loses all of its insulating power.

Be very careful when shoveling snow. Overexertion can bring on a heart attack, which is a major cause of death in the winter months. To stay safe while shoveling take breaks, push snow instead of lifting it and lift lighter loads.

It’s also important to check frequently for signs of frostbite and hypothermia.

Frostbite is when the skin and body tissue just beneath it freezes. Symptoms of frostbite include loss of feeling and a whitish pale appearance in extremities, such as fingers, toes, earlobes and the tip of the nose. Make sure to cover the exposed skin — but avoid rubbing it — and seek medical help immediately.

Hypothermia occurs when your body reaches a dangerously low temperature. Symptoms include an uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and exhaustion. If you think someone has hypothermia, take his temperature. If it’s below 95 degrees, get medical help immediately. While you’re waiting for help, get the victim to a warm location and remove any wet clothing he’s wearing. Warm the center of his body first by wrapping him in blankets and if he’s conscious give him warm, nonalcoholic beverages.

Don't forget Fido! Pets should be brought inside when the temperatures drop.

Drive only when you must and avoid traveling alone in case you become stranded. Inform others of your schedule — including your destination, route and when you expect to arrive — and travel only on main roads where others will see you if you get in an accident.

Back at home, conserve fuel by keeping your residence cooler than normal and temporarily closing off heat to some rooms. Use blankets and additional layers to keep warm. If you’re using kerosene heaters, make sure that you’ve got plenty of ventilation so that toxic fumes don’t build up and refuel kerosene heaters outside. It's also a good idea to make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector. Never use a stove or outside cooking equipment like grills or propane heaters indoors.

If the pipes freeze, remove any insulation and wrap them in rags. Then open up all the faucets and pour hot water on the pipes, starting where they’re most exposed.

After the Storm

Once the storm has passed, grab a sled and enjoy the newfound winter wonderland before it melts away into muddy slush! Be sure to protect yourself from frostbite and hypothermia by wearing several layers of warm, loosefitting clothing.

If your home lost power or heat in the storm and it still hasn’t returned, or if you don’t have the supplies you need to stay warm in your home overnight, you may want to stay in a public shelter. You can figure out where the nearest one is by texting “SHELTER” plus your ZIP code to 43362 (4FEMA). Make sure to dress warmly on your way to the shelter and bring anything you might need that night.

After all is said and done, assess how your supplies and family plan worked. If you think they could have been improved in any way, learn from your experience, and plan ahead for the next big one.

Heavy snow fell in Folcroft, Pennsylvania Wednesday morning. This can lead to some power outages due to the snow weighing down the power lines. Delco was hit hard by last Friday's storm.

In Mullica Hill, New Jersey snow accumulated Wednesday morning. Drivers were urged to stay off roads and stay safe.

Wednesday’s snow caused dozens of area attractions to close for the day.

Snow is impacting King of Prussia Wednesday. The plows are out, trying to keep ahead of the wet snow.

A wet, slushy snow fell on much of the Philadelphia region Wednesday leading to hundreds of closures as people were told to stay home. And, the worst of it is likely still to come.

For the second time in less than a week, a nor'easter is moving through our region. The storm is expected to deliver heavy, wet snow and gusty winds to most areas before it moves out Wednesday night.

Even though roads were mostly only slushy and wet Wednesday morning, conditions are expected to worsen. The height of the storm (high impact snow) will likely strike during the day with heavy, wet snow blanketing roads and sidewalks and making for dangerous travel. It's possible an inch or more of snow could fall per an hour during the day as the "thump" of the storm moves through.

Thundersnow is even possible in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

A First Alert for slippery roads and the possibility of downed tree limbs and power lines remains in effect through 7 a.m. Thursday.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf declared a State of Emergency for many eastern counties, including Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh and Philadelphia.

“We are working with state agency partners to make sure county emergency management coordinators have quick and unfettered access to state resources as they’re needed," he said on Twitter.

A Snow Emergency was also declared for Philadelphia starting at 8 a.m. Wednesday.

In neighboring New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy declared a State of Emergency for the entire state starting Tuesday at 8 p.m. through the end of the storm. The focus of the emergency is northern New Jersey but Murphy wants all residents to be prepared with tips from the Office of Emergency Management (NJOEM) and asked drivers to stay off roads.

"We're erring on the side of caution," Murphy said Tuesday.

The declaration allows NJOEM to employ resources and police to needed areas (NJOEM has more on what it means to you). NJOEM closed all state offices for Wednesday.

Municipalities around the region also declared snow emergencies. You should check with your local town about possible parking restrictions, trash pickup and other services for Wednesday.

Concerned about the well-being of students and staff, the Philadelphia School District and Archdiocese of Philadelphia canceled school Wednesday. Hundreds of other schools followed suit. Check here for school closings for Wednesday's storm.

SEPTA changed its Regional Rail schedules for Wednesday and Amtrak modified its Northeast Corridor service.

Plenty of area attractions and museums closed due to the inclement weather.

Temperatures will be near freezing and some of the snow may melt initially. But don't be deceived, the heavier snow is expected later in the day. The wet snow will be heavy and difficult to remove. Those with heart conditions should avoid shoveling the so-called "heart attack snow." You should also check on your neighbors. 

TIMING:

8 to 10 a.m. - Snow rate picks up. Snow line drops into central parts of South Jersey.

10 a.m. to 5 p.m. - Heaviest periods of snow. Banding occurs, which may cause periods of limited to zero visibility. Snow starts to accumulate.

5 to 8 p.m. - Snow starts to exit

Thursday morning - The storm has cleared out.

Philadelphia is on the cusp of higher estimated snow totals so its possible people in Manayunk and East Falls could see inches more of snow than folks in South Philly.

By 9 a.m., 3 inches of snow had already fallen in Ridley Township, Delaware County.

EXPECTED SNOW TOTALS

8 to 13 Inches

• The Poconos
• Lehigh Valley including Allentown and Bethlehem
• Most of Berks County including Reading
• Northern sections of Montgomery and Bucks counties

6 to 10 Inches

• Most of Chester County 
• Southern Berks County
• Central and southern Montgomery and Bucks counties i
• Most of Mercer County (with exception to the southern edge) 
• Extreme northwestern Philadelphia including Chestnut Hill and Roxborough
  
• Northernmost edge of Delaware County
  

4 to 8 Inches

• Most of Philadelphia
• Southern Delco in
• Northern Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Salem counties
• Northern Delaware including Wilmington

2 to 6 Inches

• Southern New Castle and most of Kent County including Dover 
• Most of Atlantic, Burlington, Cumberland and Ocean counties
• Southern  Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Salem counties

Rain to 1 Inch

• Jersey Shore
• Sussex County including Lewes, and Rehoboth Beach

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Philadelphia and all of the surrounding counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

Power outages will be a big concern due to a combination of the heavy, wet snow as well as 25 to 35 mph winds and gusts up to 40 mph that could bring down tree branches and power lines, creating more power outages.

Though the wind will not be as strong as the last storm, the ground remains soft from our wet pattern making it likely trees — weakened in the past storm — could fall. All of this will undermine efforts to get neighborhoods back on the electrical grid after the last storm.

This new storm comes less than a week after a storm packing winds of 60-plus mph knocked out power to more than half a million customers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. That powerful winter storm stunned commuters during the Friday afternoon rush hour, as colder-than-expected temperatures caused unexpectedly sloppy road conditions. The slippery surfaces combined with many falling trees to create gridlock seemingly everywhere for hours.

And, if you are planning to fly out of Philadelphia Wednesday or Thursday, check with your airline because some airlines, including United, have issued travel waivers.

Our team will be updating the forecast throughout the day. Check back here for the latest information.

Warming centers have opened throughout our region to help people affected by the storm.
