Now well check in with nbc 10 first alert traffic reporter katy zachry. Good morning. Good morning, brittney. Theres a reason we are seeing hundreds of schools canceled this morning and the delaware state offices Just Announced a delay because conditions out there on the neighborhood roads and side streets are really not that good. This is an example. In upper township Cape May County this is route 9 and route 15. Look how snow covered it still is. And to give the public works crews credit they did a great job with so much snow yesterday. This is an example of what remains for many of you getting out the door in the next little bit. What is happening on the area bridges . Theres still a speed restriction in place on many of the area bridges because of the weather. This morning the conditions are not that great. On the philadelphia bridge, the ben franklin walkway is closed. Snow clean up is the name of the day today. In center city philadelphia, we found crews using bulldozers and front loaders to clear the streets to make things easier for the morning commute. With city schools closed today there should be less traffic to contend with. Theres that advantage at least. People all across the area are dealing with the aftermath of yesterdays snowstorm that brought several inches of snow to most neighborhoods. Monique braxton is live in mayfair this morning looking at some of the tricky neighborhood side streets. Monique . Hey, chris. Right now we are dealing with the tricky part of this side street, and thats getting out of the way. Making sure we stay out of the way of the cars navigating the ice and snow that is packed down on the side streets. Thats only plowed one time. The secondary streets are not a top priority right now for the streets department. But joining me now is domenick who was clearing off his car here. What was tough about clearing off the car this morning . It was cold and i gave myself extra time to clear it. I have to go to jersey and do a couple more vehicles. But yeah if you take your time, it shouldnt be too bad. But it is bad out here. A lot of people dont take the time. Reporter thank you, domenick, for joining me. This is what a lot of folks are going to find. When coming out this morning, if they didnt venture out yesterday in winters last wallop, they have a lot of work to do. If you dont dig your tires out first and do the top part then you have to spin out and rock your car before you can come out onto the street. Once you get out onto the street, this is what faces you. The mounds of snow that have been removed by some of the local businesses or some of the other homes. So you have to really be careful after you navigate around the mound and make sure that you remain safe. Well come back out and have more on the local neighborhoods and what folks are dealing with in the next half hour. Live for now from mayfair, monique braxton, nbc 10 news. Heres Something Else to keep in mind. We just checked, there were 50 arrivals and departures canceled at Philadelphia International airport so far this morning as we look at photos of yesterday. Crews were plowing the runways there and deicing the planes. So if you do plan to fly today, check your flight status by calling 1800phlgate.

Nbc 10s matt delucia is live in northeast philadelphia. Tell us more on what happened yesterday and more about officer wilson. Reporter well, tracy, police tell us that officer Robert Wilson iii was on duty and in full uniform when he stopped by this Video Game Store here at the corner of 22nd and lehigh. Then two men came inside to say they were robbing the place and started shooting when confronted. Officer wilson was with the department for eight years working with the 22nd district. This is video from a story we did with officer wilson a couple months ago. Commissioner Charles Ramsey says right now investigators do not know if the two suspects knew that wilson was, in fact, a Police Officer. But the men got on both sides of him shooting several times while officer wilson fired back until he could no longer. One of the suspects was shot as well and taken to einstein medical center. The second man we are told tried to blend in with the crowd outside, but the responding officers quickly arrested him. Officer wilson meanwhile, leaves behind two Young Children ages 1 and 9. I knew him. He was one of the best Police Officers the city has to offer. He was a very very brave, heroic individual. And even though i say under the circumstances he was struck multiple times, he was able to continue to fire. Reporter the police also tell us the two men have a criminal record and one was out on parole. Weve also learned that one of the guns used in the shooting had an extended clip so that more rounds could be fired. Again, well take another live look out here. Last night we saw detectives go into the church here across the way. There are cameras outside pointed in this general direction. Police also got video from inside the store and they will be reviewing that as the investigation unfolds. But again, as youre taking a live look out here you do see police out here with the yellow crime scene tape around here. This is still very much an active crime scene.

They had more than eight inches ofwilmington. Take it slow as you head out. Also today, people will be clearing away whatever snow they couldnt get to yesterday.

The governor offered condolences to the officers family and colleagues. Now we first met officer wilson back in december. Yeah you have seen some of the video3 we have been showing this morning. Thats when we did a story on members of the 22nd police department. The veteran said he was looking forward to using the Body Camera Technology to better protect people in philadelphia. He said the issue most important to him was regaining public trust. Its less negative reaction from the community. I like to record the incident also.

Nothing major. I have been seeing a lot of local, neighborhood and secondary roads really snow packed and have a lot of that snow and the ice from yesterday. It is so cold this morning. That is not going anywhere. Its going to take a lot of elbow grease to get your car cleared off and probably get your car out of the driveway this morning.

A doctor who happened to be on the golf course playing golf gave ford first aid at the scene.
