And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

Today is Thursday, February 11th.

Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning.

The Delaware Valley is bracing for a few more rounds of snow and rain with

round one that brought light snow overnight. The snow is continuing through early this morning.

The National Weather Service issued the Winter Weather Advisory last night at 7 p.m. for Philadelphia

and parts of Delaware and Chester counties. The advisory stretches into New Jersey to cover central and

southern counties. All of Delaware

is also included in the advisory. While snowfall totals aren't expected to be nearly as significant as

the last two storms, we could see one to two inches in Philadelphia and then south and east of

Philadelphia could see about four inches. Temperatures are hovering around the freezing mark today,

so tomorrow we'll have to watch out for icy conditions on any untreated roads. You know, the more that I remember this in years past, where you have a constant succession of snowstorms that like today I said, you know, okay, I'm not going to wear that. I don't need to wear that. You like, oh, yeah. I thought about putting my boots on today and I'm like, I don't need my boots anymore. I did the same thing, press. I don't want to. And so it's funny how this stuff starts to pair off. It's like, yeah, yeah. And then we may be looking at some more snow on Saturday. That would be the next round. So we'll see what happens there. Suburban Hospital in Norristown is now administering the COVID-19 vaccine to the general public. Since they are a smaller hospital, it's been a challenge to register people. The community was so eager to sign up that it crashed the hospital system within the first 10 minutes. The hospital has four staff members taking calls for eight hours a day as well. Suburban Hospital is receiving 500 doses of the vaccine each day, but they are getting about 4,000 requests a day.

The chief nursing officer said a centralized registration system through the state would be a much better option,

although the state health department says there doesn't seem to be any plans for that.

He also adds that people are registering for the vaccine at suburban hospital,

and then they're

also registering through the county. So essentially they're taking up two spots, which he says is

another reason for the centralized registration system. People who have been fully vaccinated against

COVID-19 do not need to quarantine if they are exposed to the coronavirus. The Center for Disease

Control and Prevention said Wednesday in updated guidance on its website.
