Temperatures right now are cold. 23 degrees in philadelphia f21 in allentown, 26 in cape may and with the windshe wind chills are making it feel like its in the Single Digits in a lot of spots and not much better elsewhere. As we go through the day it stays cold. 20 degrees by 7 00 some sunshine early. Then 24 by noon and in the afternoon some snow showers popping through and a late day high of 29 degrees. Well probably have to wait until about 5 oclock to get there. Better times ahead in the accuweather 7day, karen. Details on that coming up. All right. Dave. Oftentimes in the aftermath of a storm its the secondary streets that are ari problem and thats the case today too. This is state road at princeton avenue and a lot of city streets are still snow covered. I know a lot of your suburbs kind of look similar to this with ice or snow on them. You need to be careful with temperatures just about everywhere below freezing its an issue today right now so you can kind of see the tire marks through all the snow and thats something to deal with because it was hard freeze so right now thats kind of frozen solid. Main highways and things are fine and clear. This is i95 approaching cottman southbound traffic headed toward center city. Mostly dry. The i think on the shoulders on the ramps you need to be a little more careful on your highways. Lets look at the big picture. No major issues. We still have that vehicle fire in lower merion so you want to watch for that on cherry lane at glen road. The flower show continues. People kind of skipping out yesterday youll see more congestion there as people head to the flower show. In Upper Providence township Montgomery County a disabled vehicle was cleared on old state road at meadow green drive. Live here we had an accident on the ramp from norristown road to 309 northbound and the vehicle kind of spun out facing sideways. That accident is cleared but its icy in that area. Especially as youre exiting off the highway and you think things are going well you need to be real careful on those ramps, tam. Thank you, karen. A tough morning at the bus stop today. The icy cold could feel even worse because of the wind chill. That said, philadelphia Public Schools say they are opening on time today. However archdiocesan schools are on a twohour delay. Thats also the today us in many suburban districts where many schools will value delay or some will even be closed. All of this information is controlling at the bottom of your screen. Its also listed at 6abc. Com. Now lets turn to Annie Mccormick live in manayunk where the digout after a snowstorm is almost always a rough go. Good morning, annie. Reporter good morning, tam l you heard karen talk about how some of those side streets are really the tough ones. This is one of those streets. This is gay street which is right off of main street here in manayunk and take a look behind me. You can see that this little car tried to make it down this road but looks like it got stuck into the snow, so the driver will have some work to do to get that out of here. Some of these streets that require some of those smaller vehicles, like a bobcat to come through and clear it out but take a look at this video showing you the work that the city of philadelphia had been doing all day yesterday throughout the day. They will again be doing a lot of snow clearing today as well. Now, they got most of the major streets out but there are a lot of people in south philadelphia we caught up with that were kind of dealing with the same issue with their smaller streets. Some of them waiting for those plows to come through as they cleared out their cars. As for center city they pushed a lot of that snow off up to the sidewalks which made it kind of hard to walk around there but the city says that they stopped all trash pickups yesterday because they were using those trash trucks as plow trucks. They had about 450 vehicles on the roadways and they had a number of crews working hard to try to clear as much as they could. Now, we caught up with some contractors who were finally glad to have some business. Most people dread snow but you guys,. Love it. Want to make my money. [laughter] i love it. Reporter this is how you make your pay. Love the snow, love the snow. Reporter okay, now as far as shoveling goes, this is tough snow. Thats because this isnt light and powdery right now. Remember all that sleet that we had after the snowfall . Well, theres that layer on top of it so it makes it really heavy to pick up. Youre going to have to scrape underneath it as well. Now, in the city of philadelphia, six hours after the conclusion of a storm, you if you do not clean off your sidewalk you could get al 50 fine. So, that is one thing to keep in mind. Also, if you want to let the city know that your street has not been plowed you can contact 311. However, they are asking that people not start putting in those recommendations untilly thursday. For now reporting live in manayunk, Annie Mccormick channel6 action news. Back to you. All right, thank you an meteorologist and the freezing cold made it tough for philadelphia firefighters overnight. They had to evacuate eight units from a burning Apartment Building on the 7500 block of thouron avenue in west oak lane. A 33yearold man went to the hospital for smoke inhalation and septa buses were called in to help out the residents. Now lets get you back outside for a live look on what commuters might be facing. This is center city. And mobile6 making its way around city hall there on broad street. You can see some blacktop clear and free there will in the middle, snow on the sides but david has been reminding you we wont get above freezing today. 29 is your high so anything thats melted has probably refrozen, perhaps as black ice so take it easy out there. The Lehigh Valley continues to dig out from the highest snow totals in the region, 13. 7inches is the official total in allentown where action News Reporter gray hall joins us live. Good morning, gray. Reporter good morning to you, matt. Well, coming into allentown we didnt really see that much of a problem. Of course as you heard karen say, its when you get into the neighborhoods where youre going to have most of the problems. Just to give you some perspective, take a, who, were off of 12th and turner here in allentown. You can see some blacktop where that folks have been able to plow but if you look just inches over on the road, this is a problem folks are going to run into. This ice, this snow and ice. Of course it has frozen over because its so cold outside. Weve seen cars come through this neighborhood, folks for the most part theyre taking it easy s you see a car, theres another car coming right now. Weve also seen several plow trucks. Weve seen also some dump trucks in the area filled with snow. What we dont know is where theyre hauling that snow off to. So, the story of the morning will be if you have to get out into the elements, take it easy because a lot of these secondary roads have not been plowed just yet in these neighborhoods. Also, remember the sidewalks when you go outside, just take it easy but for now, like we said, the big story will be just getting out of your neighborhood onto those main streets. But once youre out on the main street it should be smooth sailing. Live in allentown, gray hall, channel6 action news. Matt. Thanks so much gray.

However, theres still a large number of Flight Cancellations so be sure to check with your carrier about the status of your flight before you head out either to try to go somewhere or pick somebody up. David joins us in looking at that seven day, the snow is going to be here for quite awhile, right. I think so. Its march and the sun angle is higher and i think were probably even with clouds today, probably going to melt a little bit. Tomorrow when the sun comes out that should really start. It could still melt below freezing, right, because of the sun. It can because of the the ultraviolet rays warm the get into the ground and then that long wave creates heat and thats what melts it. And now you know. Storm tracker6 live double scan i was going the give a science lesson. [laughter] yes, that heat radiating out, you can start to warm up even through the clouds but tomorrow with the sun i think were going to start to melt quite a bit. Anyway we have a couple snow showers out there right now. Going in closer they are in Montgomery County between green lane and lansdale and you can see how theyre sweeping down toward the south and East Riverside jenkintown willow grove florence all picking up some of that. Slow it down if you see it. Cold temperatures out there, too, so make sure you bundle up on the way outside. 23 degrees currently in philadelphia, just 21 in allentown, 20 inned aring, 26 in cape may and 25 degrees in beach haven and as you take a look at satellite, weve got a lot of sunshine on the way early but some of these clouds to the north and west are going to sweep on through later and as they do, you may see a snow shower as soon as noon well be on the lookout for that. Looks like most of it will be in the afternoon hours by 3 oclock you can see the speckled precipitation and by 6 30 we are probably done with that. Just slow it down if you see that. And again, snow will be blowing around today with these strong winds. These are the wind gusts around about now or shortly theyll be getting to this level but as we go later into the afternoon you can see how they start to pick up into the 30s especially over by the shore. Every now and then in the northern and western suburbs and we could even get back into the 40s later today and there is a concern that this is going to bring down some additional tree branches that have accumulated that that its going to blow the snow around north. Issues today blowing snow north especially as you you have those snow showers coming through. Icy branches in the Center Portion of the region and south could fall. More power problems respect possible and be careful of icy sidewalks and streets. In allentown today were going for a high of 28 degrees with snow showers possible and more blowing snow. At the shore it looks like icy branches anywhere where you did manage to get that sleet could start coming down. Otherwise its just windy and cold with a high of 31. And in philadelphia staying below freezing today, a high of 29 degrees, windy and cold and a snow shower may pass through at times. Look at those winds getting up to 40 Miles Per Hour in gust forms at times even in the i95 corridor. Overnight clearing and cold blustery going down to 19 degrees with 35 Miles Per Hour gusts every now and then. Your sevenday from accuweather, 29 is todays high, brisk and cold a snow shower cant be ruled out. Look out for more of those branches coming down. Hopefully you keep your power on. While your power is on keep those cell phones plugged in and charged in case you are without power and you have your lifeline. Mostly sunny spill brisk on thursday, 37 degrees the high again melting a lot of that snow tomorrow, what with the high sun angle and the sun actually bursting through.

See all the snow pack. Look at that car up that were near the traffic light just stuck there.

You look at the main roads, you see that car going, no slipping or sliding. This is east falls were at the boulevard extension at fox street. Then you look at the ramp and then you can see some of the ice and crust on the ramp so you need to be careful. Probably most especially on your ramps and your overpasses but i think the secondary roads are hit or miss whether or not theyve been treated and plowed. Looking the the blue route, schuylkill, i95, nothing major on your highways right now. Lower merion we still have that vehicle fierier, cherry lane at green lane road so you may see some crews on the scene there. Lets take you out to fayette street at front street and another place where seeing the cars move okay, no major slipping or sliding but you can see some of the shine on the roads and the ice in the turn lanes so be careful as youre traveling around. I think the secondary roads slicker than the main highways which are in pretty good shape. Church street at Pleasant Valley avenue downed wires and downed traffic signal. Stick to Pleasant Valley avenue as your alternate. Live in cape may this is the garden state parkway at the cape may toll plaza. We can see we kind of dried out here, not seeing any major problems.
