Residents in Lower Bucks County could rise Tuesday morning to find some snow on the ground.
The National Weather Service’s regional office forecasted that a dusting to up to 2 inches could fall across the area between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Forecasters said the system will start as rain Monday evening and transition to snow overnight.
“Plan on slippery road conditions. The snow will have ended prior to the morning commute, but untreated roads could still be slick,” forecasters said.
