Nor'easter Brings Heavy Snow/Wind; Wheel of Fortune Salutes Eagles; Arrests at Chuck E Cheese Brawl

The Philadelphia region is preparing for it's second nor'easter in less than a week. The National Weather Service has already issued a Winter Storm Warning starting tonight Tuesday at 7 pm and lasting through 3 am on Thursday. The storm will begin as light rain or snow this evening before changing to all snow later tonight. The heaviest precipitation should occur midday Wednesday with heavy snow falling at rates over 1-inch per hour. Wind will also be a factor, though not as much as last Friday's storm. Gusts could reach 35 mph. Snow totals could reach 6-8 inches in the city and up to 12 inches in the northern suburbs. With the wind and heavy snow, power outages are likely once again, not something many who might have just spent a few days in the dark want to hear. Many local communities are already declaring snow emergencies ahead of the storm.

Wheel of Fortune's first round puzzle paid homage to our hometown team last night. The category for the puzzle was "HEADLINE." The contestants worked hard at solving it, with them landing on bankrupt several times. Finally the contestant Aymila put it all together and declared, "Philadelphia Eagles Are Super Bowl Champions." They are indeed and Vanna White says so.

Two women were arrested following a massive brawl and stabbing outside a Chuck E. Cheese in Glocester County on Sunday night. 47-year-old Tracy A. Jones and 24-year-old Stephanie L. Levengood face multiple charges after two people were injured. Deptford Police arrived to the restaurant on the 1500 block of Almonesson Road around 6 p.m. About 15 - 20 people were engaged in a fight inside and outside the building. A woman had a minor stab wound to her hip. She refused medical treatment. A male employee was also hurt trying to break up the fight. Jones was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a weapon, one count of possession of prohibited weapon and one count of unlawful possession of weapon. Levengood was charged with one count of disorderly conduct and one count of resisting arrest.
