Expect closures. This is in berks county. Several accidents reported. Go to my map and get more detailed. Exit 10 at bethel township, another reported at exit 30 and another one reported at exit 40 in greenwich township. A big stretch between route 22 and exit 6 through route 737 exit 40 where youll see delays and closures. Looking a bit better this is around montgomery drive. See no problems in either direction. Were still green for our drive times eastbound from the blue to the schuylkill expressway. You can see maybe the exit ramps are not plowed as well as other areas or could be potentially slick spots. This is around 38 in maple shade. No delays on most of our majors. Thanks, jessica. Were taking a live look from skyforce right now. I want to bring you ron young from penndot joining us on the phone right now. Thank you for talking to us. Youre welcome. Good morning. Good morning. I want to ask you first of all about where things stand right now. We can see traffic getting through, but it is going very slowly. How long should drivers expect a backup in this area . At least until some time this afternoon. What theyre dealing with out here is multiple crashes involving multiple tractortrailers. I78 is a major trucking route, so there are some tractortrailers involved in both eastbound and westbound crashes having the highway closed. Crews are working to get that cleaned up and get things back in order and open it up to traffic. But for the meantime we want people to avoid i78 and take alternate routes and allow extra time. We know that freezing rain moved through this area. Do you know at this point whether that is what cause thd . Or was there some sort of ice . What do you know about the cause . Well, there were icing on the road as a result of the freezing rain. Freezing rain can happen very rapidly and form ice patches on the roadway very rapidly even on areas treated recently. So that is what happened out here and motorists lost control, i suppose, on the icy conditions. We do stress that doing these type of events that people slow down, use extra caution. If you dont have to go out, dont go out. But of course we understand people do need to get out and go. If youre going to, use extra time. Of course in this case youll have to seek alternate routes. I even saw some snow sort of creeping out close to the roadway even on to the roadway. Is that making it more difficult to get people around this . Yeah. The stretch of i78 has low shoulders too. If you dont have a clear shoulder to use to get traffic out, that does make it more difficult. Crews have reported to me they are getting people in the cue moved out of there as we speak. And then theyre going to work on getting the tractortrailers moved out and get things back open. Now, this road was salted, is that correct . Thats correct. The roadway was treated before this occurred, however as i see it earlier once you get band of freezing rain coming through, things can ice back up pretty quickly. Ron young for us from penndot, thanks so much for your perspective and that latest information. Again, skyforce 10 live over the scene as that backup stretches and making for some slow going for folks this morning. Thanks, ron. Youre welcome.

Grant it it would be difficult to get a plow down the street right now, but no cars have been able to get through in several days. Take a closer look. A couple feet of snow not just covering the cars. But once you dig out the car, then you cant get down the street. Ive been talking with people who live on this block. Some tell me they have not been able to drive to work since last week and fear they wont be able to get out any time soon. Theyre slow moving. Theyll probably get it done sooner or later, but theyre very slow moving. To be honest with you, they really are. This is totally a mess, all the way down the street, all the way down the block. And i dont see us getting nothing out of here today either. So theyre going to take care of the major roads i guess and side streets goes poof. You know what i mean. So its really sad. Reporter now, theboro has taken quite a bit of heat. One of the Council Members apologized for that. Residents want to get cars out and back to normal.

While christie was on the campaign, a student asked him why he wasnt in his state after helping out from the blizzard. Heres how the government responded. I dont know what you expect me to do. Do you want me to go down there with a mop . You know, the fact is that we had all the roads cleared. We had new Jersey Transit back up. And for the people who did sustain some flooding, we had folks on the ground to evacuate them if they needed to be evacuated. No one needed to be evacuated. Nbc 10 did in fact show some rescue and evacuations during the blizzard like this one in wildwood on saturday. The mayor released a comment calling christies comments, quote, disrespectful. Then this morning the mayor says he got a call from the governor. He says christie apologized for personal comments that he had made about the mayor. Mayor rosanello says he accepted that apology. But then went onto say, quote, i think that the lack of compassion for our residents and Business Owners is still a concern and the lack of respect that was shown for our first responders. So i would hope that he would take the time at some point in the near future to communicate that fact to them. Turning to decision 2016.

Little colder there as a result. But once the winds kick in well see the warmup there too. Radar shows that first line of showers has fizzled. And the next line not looking very impressive.

We did catch an accident up by 76 to 202 westbound 76. Were checking to see if that is snow or ice related, but were checking out the conditions for you coming up in a live report. Nbc 10 first alert weather breaking news. That breaking news this morning, a huge mess on interstate 78 in berks county. This is where several accidents have led to major backups along the highway as they try to clear this after freezing rain moved through the area this morning. Lets get the latest on this from nbc 10 first alert traffic reporter Jessica Boyington. Jessica, getting any better out there . Well, were dealing with some kind of rolling closures almost on this accident scene. Several accident scenes actually on 78 in berks county. So it is between a certain stretch of 78 where we have seen this freezing rain. And several tractortrailers involved as well in several different accident scenes. So in some areas there are cars getting through. But for the most part were seeing delays on either end and closures because of this. And im going to tell you exactly where everything is. Reports of earlier around exit 10 from bethel internshtownshipt 30 but exit 40 in greenwich township. Thats pretty much a big stretch between route 22 at exit 8 and between route 737 around exit 40. So big stretch in there even if there are specific areas where cars can get through, its in your best interest to avoid this area for now because there will be major backups to go along with it. Heres another accident scene. Broad street. A huge backup all the way to 95 because this is headed westbound towards the schuylkill expressway. With Police Activity on the scene and only one lane getting through on the westbound side major delays there. Also delays on the schuylkill expressway due to an accident around 202 blocking the right lane. Total drive times are still okay. Were in the green 13 minutes or 12 minutes on the westbound side. Thanks, jessica. We are taking a look at the aftermath of the blizzard from stormforce 10. The digout continues today. Matt delucias been checking on conditions for us. Here they are on montgomery avenue. In havertown, Delaware County, a snowplow removing snow. The city of philadelphia at this hour is estimating all the streets will be cleared by tomorrow night. The ppa is once again suspending kiosk and meter parking fees today. And lawmakers and officials will tour damage along the jersey shore today. Now, lets go to nbc 10s matt delucia who is live in stormforce 10 checking out these trouble spots two full days after the blizzard. Some areas still just a mess yet to see a plow. Folks are getting a little frustrated, arent they, matt . Reporter well, lauren, you may have just seen in that toss to me there there was a plow off to the side of the road here along montgomery avenue here in villanova. But talk two days about this blizzard two very different scenarios. Most of the highways are plowed and look good. While weve seen a lot of side streets, especially some small alleyways that are completely undrivable. This morning weve been looking at your tweets on social media as you tell us the areas giving you trouble. And some of them even we couldnt try with our four wheel drive and snow tires here on stormforce 10. Norristown, montgomery county, for one, is still dealing with piles of snow in several streets. The borough did tell us about 90 minutes ago plowing operations are continuing and working in to bring in more contractors and working overnight to get these streets cleared. The residents of norristown and philadelphia and places in between say its time to get out. I called through the 311 app and just kind of went into some da database somewhere im sure no one saw. A bus sitting here like ten cars had to squeeze by. I mean, if they would have even plowed this a little more, then i think it wouldnt have been a problem. But it was such a tight squeeze, it was just people scared that theyre going to mess up their car because they have to wait for a bus. Reporter now, uber in norristown, councilman miller told us there are obstacles to removing the snow now especially that its compacted and with rain in the forecast that could now create flooding along those snowpacked roadways. As for the major roads, ive been on the phone with penndot this morning to get updates from them. Theyve been out clearing these roads as well. You do see many of the major roads here again montgomery avenue youre looking at right now drivable, passable and really not too bad especially as we get a little bit more towards that warmup to help melt some of that snow that froze overnight. Live in stormforce 10, matt delucia, nbc 10 news. Thanks, matt. Well, philadelphias streets commissioner says the city has now cleared the primary and secondary roads in the city. But he understands that some people are still frustrated that their streets are still not clear. Commissioner Donald Carlton says the storm posed a challenge not just because of how much snow fell but also the way it fell. Most of this stuff was not just the actual storm. We had up to 17, 18 inches of snow drifts that actually drifted on some of the city streets. Its an ongoing battle. The streets commissioner says the city did have enough equipment to handle the storm. And now back to the blizzard aftermath at the jersey shore. Nbcs jacob rascon is in West Wildwood where several new jersey lawmakers are touring the areas hardest hit by the weekend flooding and blizzard. Reporter lauren, the town of West Wildwood is looking very much forward to the visit from the senator and congressmen. Theyve been focused on getting the debris off of their driveways, the water out of their homes and cleaning up the giant mess here. But today now that the water is gone and on the heels of those comments by the governor about bringing a mop down here, the residents are fuming, many of them are. So theyre anticipating the visit from the congressman and senator hoping that as they walk around and tour the damage that theyll be able to decide if they can offer some money to the town. As we know, the town is estimating that the damage is in the millions of dollars and that they dont have enough money, for example, to rebuild this seawall. Very critical in case any other storm is coming this way. Im jacob rascon in West Wildwood, back to you. Well, we are of course dealing with that flooding, the snow and now were tracking rain for parts of our area. Nbc 10 first alert meteorologist bill henley here with a look at that. Bill, what can you tell us . Well, matt mentioned the possibility that people are worried about flooding, but i think thats highly unlikely. Were going to see slow melting conditions. Temperatures are warming up 45 degrees. Southwesterly winds will help eat into the snow pack. But again, with temperatures in the 40s, theres some serious snow on the ground and its compacted over the last couple days. So its going to be very slow melting. As far as rain is concerned, well, the first round has fizzled. To the west you dont see much activity, but look at west virginia. This is the rain potential for later today. And that is going to be light rain. So theres no flood threat here. Late this afternoon a very light rainfall in the northern and western suburbs during the evening hours moving into the philadelphia area, but it will remain light and be just rain as temperatures too warm for anything else. Flood threat out of the question. Clouds, theyre going to be moving in and taking over. But look at the temperatures, 47 degrees, southwesterly wind at 9 miles an hour at 1 00 this afternoon. Some scattered light showers mainly north and west at 4 00 moving into the i95 corridor for trenton and wilmington and philadelphia at 7 00 this evening 41 degrees. But there is a chance well see some more wet weather. Youll have to wait a while however. Got the sevenday forecast when i come back, lauren. Thanks, bill. Well, crews have begun to repair a Chester County church that was damaged when its roof caved in during the weekend blizzard. Take a look. You can see heavy machinery at work outside the Calvary Fellowship Church in downingtown. The roof claollapsed under the weight of two feet of snow on saturday. The storm caused an estimated 1 million in damage. The pastor told us the community will help his congregation get through this. The love, the support from the community, from the schools, from other churches, from individuals. Its just been overwhelming. Well, the congregation will hold Sundays Services in the Church Cafeteria for now. Repairs are expected to take about a year to complete. A snow emergency is expected to remain in effect in york, pennsylvania until friday. Some cars there are buried up to their windows by snow and many streets have not been touched by plows.

Cleaning up driveways and sidewalks, this is a daylong chore. Plows are working nonstop to clear major roads. Dump trucks are hauling loads of that snow to a Stadium Parking lot. Federal offices will remain closed today. Well, new yorks mayor is calling for all hands on deck to dig out from the historic snowfall. And the city is willing to pay for a little extra help. Mayor bill de blasio has put out a call to hire workers to remove snow and ice from bus stops, crosswalks and fire hydrants.
