With continued frigid temperatures, Bethlehem could get a coating to an inch of snow this afternoon, making for a slippery commute home, according to the National Weather Service.
A quick-moving storm is expected to bring snow to Bethlehem this afternoon and tonight, according to a hazardous weather outlook issued by the National Weather Service.

Update 11 a.m. Thursday: WFMZ reports a storm is looking increasingly likely for Tuesday-Wednesday but the big question is whether it will be rain or snow.

Weather watchers Bobby and Suzy have a fast-growing fan base
Starting your own weather service seems a bit like creating your own mail delivery – the kind of thing only new countries and millionaire businessmen do. Bobby Martrich and Susan Haberacker are neither but they managed to launch the “Lehigh Valley Weather Patrol with Bobby and Suzy” 11 months ago and have seen it grow by great gusts. The Weather Patrol, which issues forecasts from its Facebook page, has more than 4,300 fans. Its popularity has encouraged Martrich and Haberacker, both 35, to move the Weather Patrol to its own web site in January and sell advertisements to offset costs and make money for their labors. The business partners plan to drop their names from the title when it moves to www.lehighvalleyweatherpatrol.com Even after…
