Nor'easter Ends With Coating of Snow: Your Wednesday

The Nor’easter that made life chilly and soggy on Tuesday will do more of the same today.

The National Weather Service predicts that we could get another inch of rain before we are done with this storm.

It will start out a little warmer, with temperatures in the 40s, but a stiff northwest wind will drop the temperature into the 30s by 5 p.m. Some time after that, the rain could switch to snow, but the accumulation should be no more than a coating.

However, with all the moisture and a temperature dropping below freezing, the roads could become treacherous on one of the biggest travel days of the year. Exercise caution.

Here’s what else is going on in Bethlehem today:

• All of the schools in the Bethlehem Area School District will be closed for the beginning of a six-day holiday weekend. District offices will be open, however.

• Shop this week at Homebase Skateshop in South Bethlehem and help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

• Celebrate the first night of Chanukah at Payrow Plaza as Mayor John Callahan lights the first candle of the city Menorah. The festivities get under way at 4:30 p.m.

• Dave’s Night Out at Godfrey Daniels features a musical reunion for club founder Dave Fry with his former 70s bandmates from Steppin’ Out—Reid Tre on guitar and Hub Willson on piano. Show starts at 7 p.m. Admission is $10.

• Toronto, Celtic roots-rock band Enter the Haggis comes to the Musikfest Café at SteelStacks for an 8 p.m. performance. Tickets are from $20 to $30.
