Reporting live this morning, Janelle Burrell, cbs 2 news. Thank you. After the storm bus riders forced to walk in the streets close to cars, this is a problem cbs 2 has covered before. Ilana is gold in new jersey to see what they are dealing with this morning, ilana. Im going to wait for this car to go by, there is one more just one more second people tell us it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt this is why check out the sidewalk that they have to walk can see how deep the snow is, sink right in, in some spots also icy, slippery, easy to fall people arent walking on this at all they are actually going right on the highway and getting very close to fast moving traffic. Take a look what commuters have to deal with at the new Jersey Transit bus stop off the busy route 3 west at main avenue in cliffton, the path unshovelled and unclear after the blizzard. Riders have no choice but to walk in the street inches away from cars going by. You have to make sure that the buses and the cars dont run over us. A bus and a bicyclist almost hit each other trying to avoid the people, it is a mess. Because their other option is trekking through these piles of snow getting to and from the bus stop something many refuse to do. Soaking wet, dangerous. The path ways at the bus avenue also buried in snow. On long island sent us this picture of their bus stop, the scene not much better it is a grim reminder of last year when we first reported this problem in the tristate area it is easy to see not much has changed. It is just the same thing over and over every year. Commuters are beyond frustrated they want to know why they are dealing with the same issue and why plows havent showed up. We would love for them to make a priority. The city manager says crews have been busy plowing the main roads and schools after the storm but admits these walk ways should have been clear on sunday. They are demanding action before someone gets hurt. The city manager here in cliffton says the storm was so intense, the crews are but can ensure these walk ways will get cleared today. We are live in cliffton new jersey. A tragic end to a search for a hoboken man, the 24year olds keys and wallet was recovered 150 feet from the water he was last seen leaving the pub on saturday night, said he was walking home a 10 minute walk up the street but never made it.

Good point, you have that backup the home work, kind of a drag for the kids, but it is great for mom and dad, it is 41 north shore a little bit of wet weather, all the way out to river head, heading down to the jersey shore, not down with the possibility of a few more showers, i appreciate this from john. You have to feel for the kids too, when is all this snow going to get out of here . He does not look that happy but maybe nice and warm and cozy and watching the wildlife go by and then the readings to the north cooler, but funny chris saying this is boring weather up here, you were spared the big totals that we saw down here. Today it is warmer day so well see more melting and we are going to see a little bit of wet weather as well. I like that shot look at that. I like the reflection there, i just love the river view for you, thats very pretty. 43, winds are calm relative humidity at 57 , 34 in wallden, most reporting stations all freezing 43, 41 in madison, youll see more rain weve got these showers filling in getting rain light rain through central suffolk into Nassau County as well. You are not done, this will slow you down a bit and watch out and make services slippery not so much icy but slippery, be careful and that spray on the car, you are going to see it it is going to be a bit messy, youre not done with this yet well see more showers pass through. Temperature profile just warm enough to make it rain which is a bit of a blessing so after some early drops well be counting our blessings again this afternoon in the sun and quiet conditions tomorrow quiet and a little cooler today the mid40s return this afternoon but may not even hit 40 tomorrow, then were watching this clipper system to the north, that will clip us with a chance for a few flurries early friday and then again for parts saturday, but looking into the future, next week temperature outlook for 6 to 10 days calls for numbers above normal. Definitely the case today as we see 44 this afternoon after actually hitting the high of the day at midnight. You are still above normal by a degree tomorrow, thats a little cooler thursday into friday. But there is the trend that is a friend as we see those numbers back above normal second half of the weekend warmer and then we have those mild readings for the first part of midweek. Whats going on alex . Good morning everyone as you make your way out lets make your ride easier, there is an accident blocking the left lane no need to take an alternate quite yet, in the bronx the left lane is blocked in the henry hudson park way due to a missing sewer great not the only issue, the George Washington bridge moving well as you make your way to the toll plaza there is a pothole caused multiple disabled vehicles only the right lane is getting by.

After this weekends brutal blizzard some lawmakers say it is time to give police the power to ticket drivers. In new jersey and connecticuit, tony reports. Smashed windshields, injured drivers snow and ice flying off vehicles a big winter worry. But new jersey can ticket drives like this guy. Could cause a fatality, could cause damage to a car, somebody could swerve out of the way even if they are not hit. So queen state senator tony is going to try again in the wake of the weekend winter he require drivers to clear their car makes it into law. If new jersey has it why cant he. For critics it is mostly a limited government thing. Why write into law what should be a matter of commonsense in hunts point we found a truck stuck in the snow and a truck driver who supports the law. It is a good thing if one of those pieces of ice falls off and goes into a windshield, they have machines that come down on the trail or pull the snow off. If you hit them in the pocket, you see how fast they get up there and clean it. Albany kept the bill on ice. Say opposition may be and donald trump says hell skip the debate in iowa. They cant toy with me like they toy with everybody else. And lets see how they do with the rattings i told him give money to the Wounded Warriors, now lets see how many people watch well have our own event well raise some money for the for the events.
