Not springlike at all. Reporter you can say that again. This last storm brought a heavy wet snow and bone chilling damp. It accumulated several inches in the Lehigh Valley.

At 6 42 this morning detectives were called here following a report of a shooting. Actually inside of a boarding home in the first floor living room area they found underneath a blanket an unidentified black female. She was pronounced on the scene. Reporter but what crime scene investigators found inside was a crime that actually happened days or weeks ago. She was starting to decompose so we believe she had been there for a couple weeks at least. Reporter detectives tell us there was a foul smell inside and they say theyre unsure how the roommates could have missed the body of 28yearold geneva owens lying dead in the main living room of the residence owens was shot once in the neck. There were five other people who lived in the home at the time. Theyre being questioned about the details that led up to todays discovery. She was shot one time. Still have detectives out there trying to find out what happened. Its very preliminary. Reporter police say they know very little about this boarding home and how it was operating and if drugs may have been involved. A background we did of some people who lived in this house in the past show some of them do have convictions for sex crimes as well as gun offenses but no word if any of those people are potentially involved in this murder.

Philadelphia police are looking for the men who maced a couple in their 70s during a Home Invasion today.

At the big board, this is video of vandals smashing in the windows at jims stakes on south treatment owner ken silver says around 3 00 a. M. Sunday morning some kids got a little too drunk, were upset that they were closed and took it out on their front glass as he explains it. The damage cost him about 2,000 to replace the panes. Instead of going to police, silver took the matter into his own hands and posted the Surveillance Video on social media. I think that the police have enough to worry about dealing with serious crime as you guys cover every day and i was more concerned about them wasting their time trying to handle something that i thought we could handle pretty well on social media. His Youtube Video has been viewed more than 50,000 times and he says theyre getting a lot of comments and that theyre close to figuring out just who is responsible. Now silver says if he finds out who it is and those people do not come forward then hell go to police. If you recognize anyone in the video and again it is going wildly viral on youtube right now, call jims stakes. Theyre trying to catch these guys. Brian and shirleen. Okay. Thank you alicia.

This is route 100 southbound at Phoenixville Pike but were seeing accidents pop up all over the region. Again because of the low visibility and the slick roadways. So, taking a look at the big picture we have an accident westbound right at montgomery. To keep you aware of and its very slow going in the westbound lanes taking about 45 minutes to go from the vine to the blue route right now. We also have an accident on route 1 north at hulmeville road. An accident just cleared on 95 right at the walt whitman bridge in the northbound lanes and so again slick spots all over the region. Lots of accidents to report. Fog on the bridges too. All of the bridges have reduced speeds. We have 25 miles on the ben franklin bridge and well show what its looking like out there right now. You can see the 25mile mark. Cars are moving but again low visibility and slick conditions. So, keep the speeds down out there. New jersey turnpike northbound and southbound speeds are reduced to 45 Miles Per Hour from the delaware memorial toll plaza to 195.

A body of a black man was found hanging from a tree by a white bed sheet. The body hanging about 12 feet off the ground. The mans feet were dangling but his hands were not bound. Law enforcement officials are searching for answers. Dont know what happened out there. We dont know if its a suicide, if its a homicide. We need to do an autopsy. It will determine who he is and how he died. Police suspect he is 54yearold otis byrd who had been missing for nearly three weeks and lived nearby.

Those underpants. Give everybody a good laugh out there on this friday afternoon. Thanks autumn. Adam joseph back with that exclusive accuweather 7day forecast coming up next. All right adam joseph joining us now. The end is in sight here. The end of the snow and of winter. Yeah. But winters going linger unfortunately but the snow will end as we go at 6 45 this evening. As we take a look at double scan live radar were dealing with rain in southern areas right now and philadelphia to the north were still dealing with that heavy wet sloppy slushy snow. In fact, as we take a look at double scan live radar, as you head east of philadelphia towards medford lakes, route 70, 72, it is still heavy wet snow. The same for center city, same for Delaware County, Chester County all points to the north. The white is some lighter snow. The purple is the heavier snow but notice that rain line as of yesterday we showed you on future tracker it would make it up toward wilmington and glassboro and it is raining heavily all points to the south as well as the shore. Even up towards surf city now flipping over to rain and the same all the way down to the tip of cape may that is starting to wash some of that slush away. As we take a look at the numbers so far in boyertown 6inches of snow, media in Delaware County 5inches of snow, florence 4inches, voorhees 4inches of snow and west deptford so far 4inches of that heavy wet snow. Were pretty uniform across much of the area. Temperatures are at or above freezing area wide. Were near freezing allentown reading and lancaster and once the sun sets, well start to harden up some of that slush out there as those temperatures drop below freezing during the overnight hours. Satellite and radar low pressures to the south but you can see the back edge of the precipitation moving into the western suburbs and that will continue its journey off to the east. In fact, future tracker by 10 oclock most of the steady precipitation is off the coast, maybe some lingering showers here or there. But 32 in philadelphia, below freezing for trenton allentown, reading but still above freezing in southern areas but after midnight tonight, the rain and snow will be long gone but that slush will freeze pretty much everywhere with temps in the suburbs in the 20s, 32 for center city, so watch for some slick spots. Then on saturday, were going to watch another front approach from the north and west. Ahead of it, southerly winds will move the temperature up to 55, clouds giving way to some sun but as that front slips through in the evening there could be a spotty shower tomorrow evening but behind that it opens the door once again for fresh High Pressure coming in from canada with a combination of the high to the west and that low really developing into a beast of a storm in eastern can today, it will be breezy and much cooler on sunday as high temperatures drop 10 degrees from saturday down to 45. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, Philadelphia Union was supposed to play tonight, postponed until tomorrow. A mild day at 55 degrees. And then a lot cooler and brisk on sunday despite the sun only 45. And we are stuck in the 40s for monday and tuesday, so the beginning of spring having a hard time flexing its muscle so to speak but at least we will have some sun and then were back to normal come wednesday, 55. Mild thursday but damp with rain at 60 and a lingering shower on friday, 56 degrees. So we gain the sunshine as we head into the first four days of spring but the temperatures not so much. Theres a 60 on the board. Well take it. With rain. As long as weve got sunshine. Thank you adam. Freebie friday is coming up next. Optimistic.
