If we swing the camera around you can see on some of the sidewalks over here theres a slight accumulation especially on parked cars. Youre definitely going to need to dust off your windshield because we are seeing a light snow. But it is falling. I would say we have about a half an inch on this car. And its been snowing here for about the last hour. So bill says well see half an inch, maybe a little bit more up here in the Lehigh Valley.

Police say the victim whose license to carry pulled out a gun and killed the robber. Police call it selfdefense. I personally spoke with him. He was very upset that this incident happened but at the end of the day, i dont see any criminal charges whatsoever. And to be quite frank with you, i think he did what he had to do. Police later found out that the gun used by the wouldbe robber was just a pellet gun. The victim is at the hospital being treated for chest pains. Police have not released the name of the suspect.

Right now lets check in with katy zachry who is in emmaus in Lehigh County and has seen her share of snow this morning. Morning, katy. Reporter good morning, bill. Yeah, were in the Lehigh Valley where its been snowing since about 5 00 a. M. And this is a street right off chestnut where you can see theres light accumulation even on this side street. So cars like this one are having to go a little bit slowly. Weve seen some plows in the area. As we move forward, this is what youll wake up to if youre up here in the Lehigh Valley. This light coating, this gentleman was nice enough to demonstrate what youre going to have to do. Its not a shock to anyone, but its going to add a little bit of extra time to when youre trying to get out the door this morning. So the snow is really light. I would say about a half an inch has accumulated on cars on sidewalks. And its really a mixed bag from the pavement were seeing. So in some cases, the snow is falling on the pavement and completely melting. Like if we turn around you can see this parking lot right here. But in other cases, its sticking to the pavement. So its just one of the things we have to keep in mind as youre headed out this morning. Definitely allow for some extra time for your commute. It is cold. The wind has died down. Thats good. The flakes arent as big as they were over the last half hour or so. For a look at how its affecting roads throughout the Lehigh Valley, lets go to jillian mele. Good morning to you, katy.

And if we check out your drive times on 78 it doesnt seem to be impacting too many people just yet. 25 to 26 minutes is what were seeing on 78 between the Delaware River bridge and the 22 78 split. Pretty average start out there with the exception of that moisture on the roads. Right now all of mass transit looking pretty good. No delays or incidents on new jersey transit. Patco on time. Same situation if you travel septa headed into new jersey now. Checking drive times, 42 to the walt whitman. And 295 southbound from 38 to 168 is about a 13minute trip. Tracy . Jillian, thanks. 6 33. A little light snow today. Weve been showing you, remember a year ago, peco and its customers are marking one year since that major ice storm. It knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people. Our jesse gary is live near one of the hardesthit areas, berwyn. I remember last year when this happened everybody said why cant the lines go underground, and you talked to people about that. Reporter i asked people about that. Heres what they said. It would cost 1 million per mile to take those lines you see there and put them underground. And then there is the increased cost for repairs if something goes wrong. A bit of using a cherry picker for crews to go up to damage theyd have to cut into pavement, in the earth, make repairs and then patch in the hole. Some residents might be willing to swallow that considerable financial cost. Almost three quarters of a million customers lost service during last februarys ice storm. Malvern was hard hit with Hillary Schmidt and her family forced out of their home for six days without service. I would just like to know where the damage is and a realistic estimate of when it would come back rather than just keep putting push the time back and back and back. To me improvement is something were always looking at. Were working with utility as cross the country to determine best practices for communicating estimator restoration times for customers. We also are enhancing the ways that we communicate with customers. Reporter peco has also installed Smart Technology that can reboot the system within minutes after a disturbance. No system is foolproof, but peco says theyve taken all the steps they can think of to make sure that the power stays on. Live in Berwyn Chester, jesse gary, nbc 10. This morning a Delaware County man faces charges in the death of a toddler. Police say Daniel Grafton was babysitting his girlfriends 2yearold son. Authorities say he said he stepped away and when he returned he found the boy face down in a bathtub. Investigators say it took almost an hour for him to take the boy to a Doctors Office even though he was upstairs from a Doctors Office. We spoke to that doctor who tried to perform cpr on the boy. I cant even tell you how much weve been affected by it, and its going to be very hard to go back to that same place. Grafton is charged with Reckless Endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child. Charges could be upgraded once an autopsy is complete. 6 35. New this morning, the state of delaware will hire a consultant to study gun violence and offer strategies for police. The state will pay up to 200,000 for the consulting work. The firms will work with the new strategies commission. Police report 19 shootings in wilmington so far this year. 7 deaths. And now to the Atlantic City casino crisis. The former revel casino could lose its power, heat and water if it doesnt pay its utility bills by 5 00 this afternoon. Revel says cutting off its power would violate a court order. A nightclub at revel is suing to block the sale saying it would lose millions of dollars. Also in Atlantic City, caesars ceo gary loveman is stepping down. Caesars Entertainment Group made that announcement last night. Loveman will leave his post in july but will stay on as chairman. Caesars largest subsidiary filed for bankruptcy protection last month.

Just a dusting is what im expecting for much of the area especially north and west. Then gusty winds kick in and cold air moves in. Temperatures that are above freezing now will be plummeting into the 20s during the day. Heading out the door heres some numbers. 20 degrees right now in mount pocono. Light snow barely falling in the mountains. Trenton is 38. Thats going to come down in a hurry. And 36 in dover. That will not last either. Were watching this camera. You can clearly see the clouds. This live view from center city. So far no snowflakes. But it wont be long. Well see light snow moving in. Its quickly moving through the Lehigh Valley burks county. In fact, a little heavier now. Its moving into Chester County, east milford, very light snowfall. But its just enough snow to bring the temperatures down. And winds will be kicking in behind the snow. So the temperatures will be plummeting as the day goes on. Your hourbyhour future weather shows 8 00 this morning, look at the 20s and low 30s. Thats much colder than it is right now. The light snow moves through. Look for a dusting but not much more than that. And most of the streets will be in pretty good shape. But though we could see some slippery spots. By 10 00 this morning, 28 in doylestown. Its this afternoon when the winds get a bit stronger. And that colder air starts sweeping in. By later this afternoon, the 30s are long gone. At 5 00 today, well be at 24 degrees. And it gets even colder tonight. Ill show you how long that lasts when i come back in ten with the sevenday forecast. So the snow is moving into parts of our area. Its going to move fast. Right now it means wet roads, slick roads, maybe. Heres jillian mele with all the details. Good morning. Slick roads in portions of the area and then we have some volume out there. This is a live look in Chester County. Thats the eastbound side of the route 30 bypass at route 322. Normal slowdown for drivers on the route 30 bypass in full effect right now on the eastbound side. And also we have some delays on 76. Youll notice the lines of yellow and even red. This is drive time 76 between the blue route and the vine can you see averaging about 16 to 17 minutes out there. So getting some slowdowns in both directions.

On our way up here this morning, we saw a number of plows and salt trucks out in anticipation of this weather moving through.
