Good morning, guys. Happy gateway. We are looking outside and it is very cold. But black ice will play an issue, as katie mentioned before and that is what we are seeing out there right now. We have a couple accidents. Hopefully they are starting to clear. Lots of construction and water main breaks as well.

Certainly in the on land. We have lingering snow working its way off shore, but there are a couple cloud in south jersey and delaware, skies are clearing nicely but that posts its own set of problems because of this time of the year if you do not have cloud cover to trap in any heat that you built up in the atmosphere it will get right backup to the atmosphere and lose it and that allows temperature to drop off. Look at the drop off we had a cold front, so this makes sense but it is much more harsh and cold with temperatures dropping from 14 to 15, 16, 17, 18 as much as 20 degrees. As that relates to the thermometer, it is cold, these are air temperatures, you have to allow for single digit feels like values in these spots but the wind is noticeable not a really strong or harsh wind but it is out of the northwest and you certainly will feel, that, and , notice how much colder it feels because of it. Anytime win blows we have to account for 10 degrees, knocked off for feels like value. Breeze will continue throughout the day but daytime highs are cold, your high just 35, this is last really cold day of the bunch here and nice warm up gets underway. That is music to our ears because it is so cold, and looking outside, well, today we are just dealing with the cold, and black ice but good thing we are not dealing with the snow like what we saw yesterday.
