Philadelphia has declared a snow emergency. And, speaking to KYW Newsradio Saturday afternoon, Mayor Michael Nutter offered reassurance that the city is prepared but asked everyone capable of pitching in to do so:"We want to assure all Philadelphians and people who are visiting us that we are fully prepared to deal with this event though it seems to continue to grow.... To the extent that you are able-- do not overextend yourself-- but certainly regular snow shoveling in communities, in neighborhoods is very important as well. And we're also asking you to check on other neighbors."The mayor also reminded everyone to make sure cars are not parked on Snow Emergency routes as they will be towed.
