Johnn odom and walter perez have a look at philadelphia, and the Lehigh Valley. And Melissa Magee and david murphy has the latest from accuweather. David we start with you. I like seeing all the guys bundled up its cold out there. The snow is departing areas but the winds and windchills are part of the package this afternoon. As for snow it looks to pass north of doylestown and bucks county beginning to dry out and allentown is thinning out and there is lingering snowflakes and the heavier stuff in lavender is parting easton and reading and hamburg a broken pattern of lighter precipitation, we thought the heavier stuff would end midday. And the storm system pulls away and the winds shift from the northwest and some pops through and does not have much additional impact. Around the predawn hours at 4 00 and 10 00, the low Pressure Center was so close to the coast it did produce the change ore off the coast, givingsouth jers the coast it punched the rain line close to srted with snow r 3, 4, 5 inches and then for hours and hours it was rain and sleet and freezing rain and there are still Power Outages with the freezing rain and ice on the limbs and wires. And up north mainly snow with some sleet mixing in but this is why you dont have as much snow on the ground in philadelphia and a lot more ice. Be careful on the roadways out there even later today after the precipitation ends. So snow and sleet so far, in and around the immediate region, we are talking about the i95 corridor. Philadelphia fire company 56, 5 inches, king of prussia 5. 8 inches and they may not be final numbers but they are getting close. And west windsor 5. 5, and if you go farther up toward allentown we have places that have a foot or more and the poconos got two feet of snow, wind gusts, an issue even after the snow ends, there you see the center of that low pressure and the counterclockwise flow. This shoots away from us, and there are fairly blustery winds for the rest of the afternoon and evening and as a result we have severe windchills and it feels like the teens in the northern half. The region and better down south, if you head down to work with that shovel youll want to bundle up and cover the extremities its uncomfortable out there. Well look at the sevenday forecast coming up. And see if we cant warm things up for days, five, six, seven. Now john rawlins is along township line road in royersford with conditions there. Reporter the latest conditions here we may get blown away, the wind has picked up but we have not seen precipitation in the last half hour 45 minutes and things change quickly. There is township line road behind me and pavement. That was not the situation earlier this morning. Its kind of nasty. More ice than anything. First, we started off with nice fresh powder and then the hail mix and now the solid sheet of ice. Its a pain. The storm brought to the far western suburbs, for snow, followed by a wind blown icy sleet for seven hours. Its like little shards of glass hitting you all over the place. It accumulated into a slushy material that at one point was described as having the consistency of snow cone ice. And the neighborhoods largely deserted except forever the occasional plow crew or first responder, getting around could be hit or miss. Slippery, go slow. And be careful. You could go in the wrong direction. Have you to get to work when you are a nurse. Even allwheel drive no push. Not a good morning to get around in a not good, im sliding around and and had to shovel myself out a couple of times. People by and large seem to follow the advice of the governor and penndot and stayed off the roads during the worst of the storm. That let the crews get out and clear and they are starting to clear at least the main roads are starting to clear. Back to you guys. Good to see, thanks john. To westfield where a pine tree weighed down by ice nearly took down a familys car. One was crushed and the other was left damard a rumbling soun it fell. But it could be worse. Didnt get the house too much. It brushed up against it, but make sure there are no leaks. It got the cars pretty good. His fiance decided not to drive her car to work because of of fear of an accident on the roads. Vernon odom is live in center city. The offices opened but late this morning . Reporter they opened an hour late this morning sara. But a lot of City Employees they wished they could have had this day at home to think about this bad weather we are having.

This is what to expect as we go throughout the rest of the day. The snow mix and rain is coming to an end as the precip pulls to the north and east and the Road Conditions improve as the heavy moisture moves on out. Its good to clean the cars and driveways and dealing with heavy wet snow on top of sleet and rain. It is likely that things will refreeze overnight and we are dealing with the hard freeze and get the job done right now. Well have more on the storm and what to expect in its wake, coming up if the full accuweather forecast. Thank you. Lets check out the situation in the Lehigh Valley walter perez is in allentown and earlier this morning nearly whiteout conditions . Reporter earlier today it was bad. The snow is still coming down and tapered off dramatically over the past hour or so. A live look here at the intersection of tillman street and cedar crest boulevard. Its hard to tell with the wind blowing everything around but at least 6 inches fell here turning allentown into a quiet frozen city today. Over the past several hours we have seen everything from snow to sleet to freezing rain and the only thing consistent is that it hasnt stopped and this storm is expected to linger for a few more hours, penndot officials are urging everyone to stay off the roads. It will be hairy for the next several hours if not the rest of today and the daylight hours. We stress dont go out and stay where you need to be and wait until this thing ives or and let our crews do their job. Penndot spokesperson, rob young, says so far the roads are relatively devoid of traffic. We dont see many motorists out there, for the most part they are heading the warnings to go slow. We found few shops open for business this morning and the ones opened are not seeing too many cust manufacturers opening up. Even the Dunkin Donuts usually fast paced in and out. Today iffy. Pretty much. Hit and miss . Yes hit and miss. Back out live the precip slowed to a drizzle. The roads as you can see are snow covered and they are passable but not safe by any stretch of the imagination. Walter perez, channel 6 action news. Thank you. In northern delaware, ice has become the big concern with the storm building up on trees and wires causing Power Outages, 26,000 customers from Delmarva Power are out.

As we take a look outside the other issue is the wind and the shore is where to go if you want see that. The strongest gusts are off the ocean from the area of low pressure. The center of the noreaster in the process of move ago way from us. We got ice that diminished the snowfall i95 corridor, it created this problem, freezing rain on a power line and that is happening in the center portion, this is salem county from jen. But you can see how that wire is being weighted down and part of the reason we have Power Outages in the central area is because of the sleet and the freezing rain. Got more of that and less snow. Kind of like an underachiever and overachiever, down to 30 in allentown and above freezing in millville and cape may.
