We are getting our first taste of winter Thursday with a storm expected to bring a mixture of snow, sleet and rain. What you see will depend on where you are as well as the time.

A First Alert for snow, ice and heavy rain went into effect Thursday at 10 a.m. and lasts until midnight for all of the area — except for central and southern Delaware and South Jersey. 

The greatest accumulations of snow before changing over to rain are expected in the Lehigh Valley and western suburbs of Philadelphia, with the Lehigh Valley and Berks County areas getting hit with anywhere between 5 and 9 inches.

The Pennsylvania suburbs will be hit with slightly less snow, with anywhere between 3 to 6 inches expected.

In the I-95 corridor, snowfall totals might be between 1 and 3 inches.

Accumulations of slushy wet snow, sleet and ice are possible on colder surfaces, such as grass, bridges, sidewalks and cars. Heavy rain, meanwhile, will fall in southern Delaware, South Jersey and the Jersey Shore.

Any accumulation in the Philadelphia area won't last long as heavy rain will wash it away.

Power outages are also a concern as ice accumulates. Some of the biggest areas of concern include Bensalem, Abington and Exton.

Be careful driving especially in the late morning and afternoon when heavy precipitation could limit visibility.

Speeds on the Pennsylvania Turnpike were reduced to 45 mph between the Donegal and Valley Forge exits due to poor visibility. Several accidents had also been reported.

SEPTA  warned of 15-minute delays across its regional rail system due to slippery conditions. 

Around 12:10 p.m., the agency announced the suspension of the Route 35 bus service, which serves Manayunk. Routes 9, 27 and 65 were ending at Wissahickon Transportation Center.

The PATCO system was also experiencing delays around 12:55 p.m. as the agency held trains at their stations to allow its ice train around Ferry Avenue.

In Montgomery County, 120 crashes had been reported since 12 p.m., with numbers "rising every minute," according to the county's Department of Public Safety. Drivers were advised to stay off the roads.

Ahead of the first flakes, schools around the region, including the Central Bucks School District, closed Thursday.

Philadelphia International Airport also reported delays and cancellations and advised passengers to check their flight status.

At least a dozen flights had been cancelled or delayed and were expected to remain so through 6 p.m., PIA spokeswoman Diane Gerace said, adding that other flights could also be delayed or cancelled as the day rolled on.

Late Thursday afternoon and evening, heavy rain will spread across the entire area. One to 2 inches of rain could fall in some neighborhoods and localized flooding is possible as leaves clog gutters.

Rain showers continue into early Friday morning but will end before sunrise. The weekend, meanwhile, will be dry but cool with temperatures in the 40s and 50s.

Snowstorms in November can be finicky — temperatures could change, meaning the storm's effects will change as well. So it's important to keep checking back with the NBC10 First Alert Weather Team on TV and on the NBC10 app for the latest forecast as the storm approaches.

Oh, and if you haven't had the chance to check it out yet, meteorologist Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz shared his annual Long-Range Winter Weather Forecast and it's looking like this storm will be the first of many this winter. 

The homeless man at the center of a GoFundMe campaign last year that raised $400,000 for him but has since become mired in controversy, civil lawsuits and possible criminal charges was arrested in Philadelphia last night.

Johnny Bobbitt Jr., 35, was taken into custody on Shackamaxon Street in the Fishtown neighborhood and "considered a fugitive of justice from Burlington County relating to the GoFundMe incident," Philadelphia police said in an email.

NBC10 first reported that Bobbitt and a New Jersey couple, Kate McClure and Mark D'Amico, would all face criminal charges of conspiracy and theft by deception on Thursday for the GoFundMe campaign that began in 2017.

A complaint obtained by NBC10 alleges that the three conspired with one another to make up a false story in order to raise more than $400,000.

Investigators say the three deliberately prevented donors for their GoFundMe campaign from gaining information "that would affect their judgment about solicited contribution to that fundraising effort."

WATCH LIVE at 2 p.m. for a press conference where prosecutors will make an announcement in the case.

D'Amico and McClure turned themselves in Wednesday to Burlington County prosecutors, the source said.

The three initially gained fame in 2017. The couple claimed Bobbitt used $20 to help McClure get gas when her car ran out on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia. McClure and D'Amico then launched a GoFundMe page to supposedly raise money for Bobbitt, and the page brought in over $400,000 from 14,000 contributors.

At first, the account led to appearances for Bobbitt and McClure on national TV programs. But it turned into a dispute over the money.

Bobbitt accused the couple of dipping into the funds and using them as a "personal piggy bank" to bankroll a lifestyle they couldn't afford.

Bobbitt later sued the couple over mismanagement of the funds and a judge ordered sworn statements to determine what happened to the cash, which Bobbitt's attorney, Chris Fallon, said had disappeared.

The couple denied any wrongdoing and accused Bobbitt of spending $25,000 in less than two weeks last year on drugs as well as paying for overdue legal bills and sending money to family.

The couple's lawyer, Ernest Badway, later said Bobbitt had gotten about $200,000. But Fallon said his client had received only about $75,000.

The couple also bought Bobbitt a camper with some of the cash and parked it on land McClure's family owns in New Jersey. But Bobbitt became homeless again after D'Amico told him in June that he had to leave the property.

In September, police raided the couple's home in Florence, New Jersey, hauling away a new BMW on a flatbed truck. Badway said that all the couple's personal and business financial statements, along with jewelry and cash, were seized in the raid.

At that point, officials said the couple was under investigation, though no charges had been filed.

D'Amico was arrested in September in Burlington County on an unrelated $500 warrant for an October 2017 traffic stop, according to officials. At the time, he was driving on a suspended license and also had a broken tail light. He also failed to appear in court on two separate occassions, according to court records.

The New Jersey couple who became famous for raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for a homeless man after he helped with their disabled car — as did the homeless man himself — will all face charges for allegedly providing a false story in order to raise money for themselves, a source familiar with the case told NBC10.

A lawyer for the couple had no comment Thursday. NBC10 has also reached out to a lawyer for Bobbitt for comment.

The afternoon rush hour of a surprisingly strong fall snowstorm proved brutal for thousands of commuters who hit the roads early in an attempt to get home.

All across the Philadelphia region, the crush of traffic combined with lingering snow and sleet marked the frustrating end to a dangerous day of travel, which included hundreds — yes, hundreds — of crashes.

Travel by train and plane wasn't much better as delays mounted across all modes of transportation. 

At City Avenue and Monument Road on the border of West Philadelphia and Bala Cynwyd, a car couldn't stop in time and slid under the rear bumper of a truck. When the truck took off a moment later, the car went with it.

Bus service in the great hills of Manayunk was suspended by SEPTA. Bus routes 9, 27 and 65 were ending at Wissahickon Transportation Center while routes 48, 35 and 92 were suspended until further notice.

Ninety-minute delays across the Regional Rail system kicked in about 5 p.m., just as a late bulk of train riders hit downtown stations in an attempt to escape Center City. 

On the Broad Street Line, trains are operating with delays of up to 15 minutes.

SEPTA's Route 15 trolley is operating with delays due to disabled vehicles blocking the rails at 26th Street and 33rd Street.

In Montgomery County, more than 250 crashes and 350 disabled vehicles were reported, with numbers "rising every minute," the county's Department of Public Safety said at the height of the snow Thursday afternoon. Drivers were advised to stay off the roads.

In Chester County, officials reported more than 75 weather-related accidents. They too advised people to avoid driving.

On the Pennsylvania Turnpike, conditions forced speeds to be reduced to 45 mph between the Donegal and Valley Forge exits. Speed limit restrictions were extended to include all of I-276, I-95 to the Delaware River Bridge, and I-476 from the Mid-County Interchange to the Lehigh Valley Interchange.

Flooding was also reported Thursday evening on I-76 in the area of South Street.

The PATCO system was also experiencing delays around 12:55 p.m. as the agency held trains at their stations to allow its ice train around Ferry Avenue.

The Lehigh + Northampton Transportation Authority indefinitely cancelled all bus services around 2:30 p.m.

Delaware County’s 911 Center was experiencing a “high demand” for emergency services due to crashes throughout the county, spokeswoman Adrianne Marofsky said.

NBC’s Owned Television Stations division has won an Emmy for its mobile radar truck StormRanger, which the NBC and Telemundo owned station group developed to detect weather quicker and forecast with more accuracy than existing radars.

StormRanger's first truck was deployed in 2016 and there are now six vehicles tracking weather primarily in the NBC and Telemundo stations' markets of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, the Bay Area and Los Angeles. The vehicles travel to nearby markets as well during severe weather events.

NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations said in a Thursday release the division received a 2018 Technology and Engineering Emmy Award for the new technology, which was developed over two years and improves local weather forecasting and reporting. Fixed with a Doppler radar, the vehicle can move right to a storm, scanning the system at a closer range and with more detail than a radar mounted high above the ground.

"We're able to take the radar to the storm instead of waiting for the storm to come to the radar," said Nate Johnson, director of weather operations for NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations.

Johnson added that this results in more up-to-date and higher resolution pictures for weather forecasting. StormRanger scans the weather every 15 to 20 seconds, Johnson said. That's compared to other radars that may scan the area every 90 seconds or, sometimes, every five minutes. This allows people in the storm's path to have more time to protect themselves, Johnson said.

StormRanger's high-resolution radar can better forecast snowfall measurements by detecting where in the atmosphere rain turns into snow. This can mean the difference between predicting an area will receive a few inches or more than a foot of snow.

The radar can also help people better understand when a tornado forms and what damage it causes by detecting debris in the air and types of precipitation. And it even detects small particles in the air during fire season, allowing fire departments and governments to better alert the public of a fire threat.

Johnson said StormRanger's ability to aid in the reporting of wildfires has been a "tremendous asset." The radar can detect where the fire's smoke is going and what the wind is doing inside the plume, helping meteorologists see if a fire whirl could form.

StormRanger helped meteorologists in Texas forecast storm cell movements several minutes before another existing radar. In Boston, the radar allowed NBC10 to report a detailed view of a winter storm’s morning icing for the rush-hour weather forecast. And meteorologists in Los Angeles used StormRanger to track the smoke plumes of a wildfire. 

Johnson said NBC will continue to perfect StormRanger's technology and "explore new ways to use it to help keep our viewers and users a step ahead of the weather."

NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations President Valari Staab said in a release that StormRanger's "exceptional technology" came into play "as more severe weather events and fires affect the communities we serve." She added that StormRanger is "vital to helping communities stay safe when severe weather threatens.”    

NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations includes 40 NBC and Telemundo stations in 28 markets in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. It will receive its award at the 70th Technology and Engineering Emmy Awards on April 7, 2019, in Las Vegas.

Teams from Accelerated Media Technologies and Enterprise Electronics Corporation also collaborated with NBC and Telemundo stations to design and build the trucks.

A camel, yes a camel, was on the side of a highway in the Lehigh Valley during Thursday's snowstorm, captured in all its glory by multiple driversby.

Where exactly it was humping to remained unclear in the late afternoon.

Well, there are a lot of questions to answer here.

The dromedary could be seen on Route 309 north near the Route 112 exit ramp just outside Souderton, Montgomery County.

As of 3:30 p.m., leads were running dry for state and local police. In fact, they said they weren't even aware of the camel, though hundreds of crashes across the region were taking up all of their time on the roads.

Interstate 78 in the Lehigh Valley was closed overnight, stranding drivers for hours in several areas. Drivers ran out of gas and some fell asleep in their cars. State police were getting people moving again Friday morning between exits 71 to 75. Some drivers were able to finally get moving again shortly before 6 a.m.

Dani Rappenpecker of Hellertown, Pennsylvania, her husband and toddler spent the night stuck in a Jeep on I-78 near the New Jersey state line.

"Everyone was just kind of trying to stay warm," she said.

A large backup remained in the eastbound lanes of I-78 near Cedar Crest Boulevard (Exit 55) as of 7:30 a.m.

Route 22 can be used as an alternate route.

Massive Spoilers Ahead.

It's almost... not ... fair.

When you go to watch a film like "Creed II," much as you did with its 2015 predecessor "Creed," you're not just viewing an individual movie. Far from it. You're watching 42 years of cinema history played out on the silver screen. 

To those of a certain age, names like Rocky Balboa, Apollo Creed, Mickey, Paulie, Clubber Lang, Thunderlips, Drago and "Adriaaaaan'" aren't just characters on a screen, but the fabric of a childhood movie-going experience.

Sylvester Stallone has embodied the skin of Rocky Balboa for four decades over the course of eight films. We've seen Balboa mature from wiseguy muscle with a heart of gold to up and coming contender. We've witnessed him ascend to world champion and fall as an aged heavyweight. Finally, we've seen him settle comfortably into the role of wise mentor to Adonis Creed. We know Rocky better than we know some members of our own families.

It was with those heavy expectations that "Creed" burst onto the scene in 2015 and delighted audiences by resurrecting Rocky and having him turn over the franchise mantle to a more than worthy successor in Michael B. Jordan. 

For the 2018 sequel director Steven Caple Jr. does some resurrecting of his own, bringing back Dolph Lundgren as Ivan Drago, the most diabolical villain in the Rocky annals (Sorry, Clubber Lang fans). In doing so Caple does something rather miraculous: He re-envisions Ivan Drago from the robotic, cartoon brute he was in "Rocky IV," to a fully realized, three-dimensional character who has carried the shame and humiliation of his loss to Rocky for over 33 years. 

First, lets take a step back. While "Creed II" stands on its own, you're simply not going to fully appreciate the stakes unless you're familiar the Rocky terrain in general and "Rocky IV" specifically. So first a quick recap. In "Rocky IV" Adonis' father Apollo dies in Rocky's arms after being beaten to death by an unsympathetic Drago, who utters his one memorable line "If he dies... he dies." It's a death that haunts Balboa both because Creed took his place in the ring and because he failed to throw in the towel to save his friend.

Flash forward three decades and, while the film's thread links most directly from "Rocky IV," longtime franchise fans will discover the movie most symbolically echoes the beats of "Rocky III," where Balboa had grown soft and comfortable living the good life, wracking up wins against soft opponents, unaware that a mean, lean and ravenous Clubber Lang had his sights on him.

Here, we open with Adonis Creed becoming heavyweight champion beating an opponent past his prime. Things are looking good for Adonis. He has Rocky in his corner. He's just popped the question to girlfriend, now fiancee, Bianca (an always superb Tessa Thompson) and the two have just found out they're about to become unexpected parents. Life is good. 

But Drago is coming. And he has hungry offspring Viktor in tow.

One of the many pleasures of the film is seeing Stallone and Lundgren share an excruciatingly tense reunion scene. Yes, in the years since "Rocky IV" the actors have reunited in the "Expendables" franchise, but they weren't playing Rocky and Drago. The weight of their reunion is acted with clinical precision by both men, each carrying a wounded edge and world weariness that only comes with decades of history. 

The film itself plays out along the familiar beats you would expect. There's the upstart challenge and the ignored pleas to ignore said challenge. You have the aging mentor who doesn't want to revisit past trauma and an ignoble defeat. The mentor, of course, returns in time for the inevitable rematch, the outcome of which is never in doubt.

While there are few curve balls along the way (aside from two very unexpected cameos) that doesn't mean you're disappointed with the journey along a beaten path. Far from it. In two films Jordan has made the role of Adonis Creed his own. And there's a not too subtle scene of a passing of the torch at films' end that lets you know he may be playing the role for some time to come.

"Creed II" hits theaters Nov. 21.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy says he has called for a thorough review of storm management in his state and understands the frustration of parents, students and commuters trapped in the throes of Thursday's snow chaos.

Pausing to slam the Port Authority for its handling of the Manhattan bus terminal madness during the fray, Murphy said Friday the disaster -- one that saw 13-hour commutes and students sleeping in schools overnight -- was bad luck.

"Unfortunately, the worst of the storm coincided with the early dismissals of schools and work places, meaning just when we needed our road crews out there most they were competing with folks understandably trying to get home as well," Murphy said. "On top of that, the worsening conditions and multiple accidents further impacted our efforts."

The governor said there had been just shy of 1,000 accidents reported statewide as of Friday morning, including one fatality involving a car vs. train on tracks.

"Thankfully, we did not see the number of power outages across the state that we have had in recent storms or that we had expected," Murphy added.

There wasn't much else to be thankful for.  

Mass transit and the evening commute got so bad during Thursday’s storm that students in one district were forced to spend the night at school, with little hope of getting home until after sunrise. Kids at several West Orange schools, including Liberty Middle School and West Orange High School, were trapped because buses and their parents couldn’t get to them during the historic storm. 

Staffers at the middle school tweeted out photos of students playing games, eating dinner, sleeping on gym mats and watching movies as they awaited their parents and guardians to pick them up, more than 12 hours after the final bell.

But things were more grim at the high school, where one parent sent News 4 photos of kids sleeping on top of cafeteria tables covered in what appeared to be tarps or emergency blankets. 

One man who lives in West Orange told News 4 about his 13-hour evening commute that ended Friday morning.

“If I could sum it all up in one word I will say ‘treacherous,’ it was very treacherous,” Glen Collins said as he was picking up his son at West Orange High School around 5:30 a.m. Friday.

It was a long night for neighbors near Boxwood Road in Wilmington, Delaware, after police and SWAT responded to a barricaded person in a home. Nearby Conrad Schools of Science had to close Friday.

Police in South Jersey are looking for a killer after a 61-year-old grandfather was gunned down outside his house in the heart of Ventnor City.

Sunil Edla was killed around 7:45 p.m. Thursday outside his Nashville Avenue home as he was leaving for his job at an Atlantic City motel. One neighbor said the killer ambushed Sunil Edla and shot him dead right after the grandfather had brought a child into the house.

Brian Wells said he viewed surveillance video of the ambush that showed a male cyclist riding up to the home. The suspect dropped his bike and hid as he waited for Sunil Edla to exit the house, Wells said.

"[Sunil Edla] went upstairs, came back down," Wells said. "The guy walked right over, popped him in the head, got in the car and left."

The car in question was Sunil Edla's gray Subaru Forester. It is unclear of authorities have tracked down the vehicle, though no one has yet been arrested.

"I'm just speechless right now," said Morrison Edla, the victim's son. "They could have just taken the car and let him go."

Relatives say the grandfather was excited about an upcoming trip to India to celebrate his mother's 95th birthday.

Instead, loved ones must now plan his funeral.
