Groundhog day february 2nd. So Punxsutawney Phil, of course in, pennsylvania will let us know if we have more of a slush junk for six more weeks. Well, he has slushy junk in his neighborhood right now, so i dont know if he will win the shadow. And we will check punxsutawney radar next time we have it set up all ready to go. We will go through watches and warnings to start winter storm warning continues for Lehigh Valley, poconos and northern parts of the bucks county and month Montgomery County until 1 00 this afternoon or 4 00 in the poconos. We dont have have too much time left in the philadelphia area for Winter Weather advisory why . I will show you why. A lot of our snow has change over to rain. You may see that coating to an inch of snow on the ground, but it is all switching over right now to rain and rain will wash a lot of that away. The the result on the roadways well bob kelly will tell new a few minutes but you see heavy rain at times in the philadelphia area and switch over, in Chester County where they have switched to all rain but there could be still icy and slippery spot out in berks county where we see pink mixed with the green there. Up to the north weve got the snow in mount pocono, we have got the snow in the Lehigh Valley and around the northeast extension, there. And then we will go to new jersey it looks like trenton has now gone over from snow to rain, and weve got, heavy rain in parts of the eastern new jersey, Atlantic City but raining steadily and down in georgetown delaware as well as the beaches of delaware and new jersey. We are above freezing at philly international. Kind of hazy sloppy out there feels like 27 degrees. Our sunrise time is now 7 08 in the morning as these days get longer. Visibility not great the at all where it is snowing in mount pocono. Only 3 miles in the philly international. Two and a half miles in wilmington. Weve got to leave earlys take your time even if all you have is rain. Visibility is poor. Take your time. You never necessity when you will run into a slippery spot. Temperatures 34 in the city. Freezing in allentown. Degree above in pottstown and lancaster. Thirtyfour in trenton. Fortyfour in millville. A lot mild inner wildwood as well. We will go through the planner for your groundhog day 2015 mostly rain with you a snow and a mix, mix of snow and rain, north and west of the city. We will go up to 45 degrees by lunchtime as this rain tapers off. Colder air rushes in. We are back down in the mid 30s with the wind picking up as well later on this afternoon. We will reach that High Temperature in the mid 40s, early in the day. The end of the day bob kelly will look better than right now but right the now it is kind of sloppy. Kind of a mix depending upon where you begin and end your trip, sue. I pulled out of the driveway with a dusting to an inch of snow and then a quickly started to turn to slush as i work my way in along 202 and the schuylkill expressway. But that temperature reading just hovered right there at 32. All i could think of was that nasty accident that happened about two weeks ago on a sunday that 30, 40 car pile up on the schuylkill. Same deal road were wet. Temps right around freezing. So it is White Knuckle all the way in and then knuckle head tractor trailers flying by me at like 60 miles an hour. But for the the most part the roads are wet. It is a lot of slush. It is really not plowable. We will just to have kind of slop through it here for the the morning rush hour. Slower than normal speed on all of our major roadways here. There is an accident northbound, on the northeast extension, just north of q town between quakertown and Lehigh Valley. As sue mentioned that is area where were seeing more snow, north and west of the city. All of the bridges this morning have speed restrictionness play down to 25 or 35, depending upon the span, and so far, so good the at philly international. Hopefully it will just be a rain delay type of a day and not an icy type of day but would i still check with the the airline before you head down to the airport. The chris and lauren good morning. Bob, as you just mentioned there are tricky spots across our area this morning. Steve keeley is in moorestown, new jersey with more on that, hi steve. Reporter her bee go with the car demonstrating what the roads are like. As bob says it is not plowable so that answers the question why the road are not plowed. We are at main intersection at main street and chester avenue. These are the two biggest streets in the center of moorestown and here comes another car. You can see the road are a mess. I will throw another four letter word that begins with a s, take your finger off the the the delay butt on, slop, and that is the word of the day. The this is heavy, slop out here and i think this is worse driving in this, then it is in the snow because people will think, all right, it is not snow and just raining cold i will not slip and slide all over the place. Cars are sliding every where. You can tell because if you are out driving now you will see the track from his previous people sliding all over the road almost sliding off the road and look at the water building up on the side of the road. If we have a refreezing and our temperature since we started went from 34 to 32 on our dashboard. If this refreezes we will have big trouble on the road later on. I think only reason we dont have trouble now and bob kellys traffic report is because it is so early and people are still sleeping in because of the big game last night. There is police out there they have been telling me that the roads are pretty bad too as he goes down and he a has the big suv in moorestown but boy this is real heavy stuff. Heres Something Else been kelly might want to warn people about. We have all of those drivers who never clear their car when it snows night before and they let gravity take effect. This stuff is not going to fly off your car, no matter how fast you are going. When i cleared my car it was like moving bags of potatoes off the the car. Heres another warning for you ladies, do the not go out without the waterproof stuff on your feet because i had to get changed and i a had boots on. I got drenched when i cleared my car off because when i was clearing stuff off even though i was not pushing it on to my feet my foot got soak like standing in 3 inches like a sponge and all of the stuff goes into your boots and everything. It is awful out here. Here are Road Conditions now. We will let you know as they change. We will go over to mount laurel and look at mount laurel look over new jersey turnpike and 295 where ever it is safe to pull all off and we will show you main road, an inside road in another town in burlington county. You had that advice for ladies and look at this. Yes, i got my rain boots on ready and prepared. And stylish. All right steve, we will check back. Women are also keeping drivers on their toes in bucks county. And, for latest conditions we will go live to fox 29s brad satan, hi, brad. Reporter good morning, guys. I have been out on the road since 1 30 i would say and frankly conditions at least from what is coming to the sky, much improved right now. When we first hit road at 1 30 in newtown bucks county. I will turn camera around and we see much improved. This was all snow covered. We saw an inch and a half or so of snow and what were seeing now and they have been doing a good job plowing obviously is mostly the slush on the road. We saw heavy snow earlier. The not a lot of traffic. Steve was saying, same situation here in bucks county not too bad. We have seen police vehicles. We have seen a ton of snowplows. What we are seeing mostly now is flooding as we are looking at pictures from over last couple of hours i shot off of my iphone off to the side of the road. Going really slow. For the the most part speed limits on most of i95 and route one we were on is 45 miles an hour. Signs are posted. Temps right the now at least with what they are registering in our vehicle 34 degrees. Obviously the idea is to stay above freezing. Will we will see flooding. But hopefully they wont get too slick. We know is there hydroplaning going on. I saw a handful of cars off to the side of the road. They seem to be minor incidents at least at this point. We know one of the trouble spots, construction on i95, easy to hydro plane even in good conditions that is rough trying. Where ever you are out and about, again, this area is something where we have done plowing in newtown, 95 we have seen situations where we have seen two, three, four plowness a row coming off of the off ramps on to the highway and again, it certainly could be worse but take it slow and the the advantage we have right now, clearly is there is in the a lot of traffic. That likely is to change over the course of the next few hours but ill keep driving around bucks county and we will check back with you soon. You stay safe out there, thanks for the update. For very latest, go to our web site at the my fox philly. Com and click on the weather tab at the the top of the home page. You will get not only latest forecast but we have traffic conditions, and most importantly, the skew closings and possible delays.

New warning by federal Health Officials and why president obama said all children should be vaccinated. It is a messy, morning out there, 4 15 if you have to go out. If you can delay your trip that would be the the best idea. We have Winter Weather advisory for metro area winter storm warning continues north and west of the city and here is why. Ultimate Doppler Radar is showing you the big area have of snow poor boston getting pounded again. Heavy snow falling around buffalo, cleveland it is just leaving there. And lets check the western part of the state and punxsutawney pennsylvania. Yeah groundhog day. It looks like they are switching over too from snow to a wintry mix and then over to rain. So it is doubtful that Punxsutawney Phil will see that shadow on this groundhog day. We will see what happens. Heres philadelphia, we still have rain. We have heavy rain especially in new jersey at the moment. We have seen our share of heavy rain in the philadelphia area. Steve keeley was showing us how sloppy it is. There are areas of pink in northern bucks county berks county. That is where it could be especially icy out there with possible sleet, falling right around franklin township, and then you will see the snow continuing in allentown this morning. You know down i95 through trenton where it is a rain at this point. In Atlantic City it is rain. Down in delaware it is rain. We have had an inch or so around the in metro area but we could expect as much as 8 inches to fall in the poconos where it will continue to be snow and not change over to rain. The is there warm front ahead of the low pressure system. After this cold front sweeps through really cold air kicks in. It will be really wind think afternoon. Future cast shows the the changeover continuing. Rain continuing through about 8 00 9 00, 10 00, 11 00 oclock is last gasp of that storm. A maybe drizzle around 2 00 in the afternoon but still in the 40s then. Then cold air comes in and we can really get some freezing overnight. So todays high will be 45 degrees. We may see sunshine before the day is through, but tonight it could get very slippery. Look at the overnight low, 14 degrees. So anything that is wet slushy right now will be frozen solid tonight. You have to take it easy in the overnight hours and tomorrow morning as well. So, helping us get through this messy monday morning is bob kelly, good morning. Hi sue, good morning. Happy monday. 4 17. We will take you for a tour here with our jam cams. Down the shore right outside sea isle, garden state parkway, again road are just wet but were watching that temperature at 35. So higher it goes, better off we will be. We will take our next trip, watch for some slush, a lot of slush, here is the the intersection of, in mount holly, new jersey, and as steve has mentioned there is some plows that are out but along the way, you start to see those sparks kick up off the road. There is just not enough snow to make it a plowing operation, so, slush and in all of the intersection this is morning. Same deal along 202 and parkway as you get to make that right turning lane you will go through what was a inch of snow, is probably an inch of slush and water some puddle jumping across the street corners for the kids. The heres a live look at i95 an example of why it is not really a plowing storm this morning because that is out of the three lanes here on i95 through cottman avenue youve got pavement on at least two. It is only this right one here that is slush covered and in the construction zones, remember, that slush there is in shoulder. So that right lane most likely will be slush covered. Stay to that center lane tractor trailer accident northbound on the north east extension just north of quakertown and speed restrictions on the Atlantic City expressway as well as the entire length of the new jersey turnpike.

Easily could happen. It is not only slush any some spots but down ride icy in others. It just depend where you are. Heres a look at the hugeness of the storm and snow hitting new england upstate new york and for us, it is rain here in the philadelphia area and it has eased up in intensity but we have to watch it because it started out as snow and change over to rain. We have got icy spots in berks county especially and north of there, up in northern bucks county a will allentown and mount pocono it is snowing in those places where they will continue the with the winter storm warning a long 195, pretty heavy rain there around trenton it is steady that i rain, lot have of slushy spots around this morning a lot of slippery spots in cape may heavy downpour just started around West Cape May this morning. Your watches ape warnings for today, winter wet ther advisory continues for a little while longer in the metro area winter storm warning to the north of us as snow accumulates. We got half inch in philadelphia before the changeover. So that will go into the books adding to our seasonal totals but wasnt much. 34 degrees. It is just wet there. Twentyseven is the the wind chill. The visibility, not great out there. 8 of a mile in mount pocono. Reduced in allentown. Only 3 miles at the airport and in wilmington. Mile and a half is your visibility in dover, delaware. That will slow you down as well as the conditions out there. Then when you get out of your car you have to watch about slippery spots. Im almost encountering one on the sidewalk this morning. So 34 degrees in philadelphia. Twentysix in mount pocono. 35 degrees in wilmington. Fortyfive in wildwood. That mild air is in the the process of moving northward. We will continue to see some places change over to rain. Then it tapers off around lunchtime in the mid 40s for your groundhog day and much cold they are afternoon. Wind whip up. Gusting to 40 miles an hour. Cold air rushes in as soon as this messy storm is out of here. That is your ground hog day forecast for today. Bob kelly, my main problems were in my neighborhoods before i got the to the main roads. I guess that will be similar for a lot of people issues. Exactly secondary road, side streets, driveway, the front step, what started out as snow to the kid delight quickly changed to rain. That is what we are dealing with right now just a sloppy yucky, slushy morning commute. It is really not a plowable operation. It isnt like we have one or 2 inches of snow. We have to drive through that slop here. On and off ramps is where youll find most slippery conditions. We will go from maybe 40 miles an hour to that curve your tires are trying to grip on the slush. Northbound on the northeast extension, tractor trailer accident just north of the quakertown interchange. Speed restrictions across the board, all of the major roadways have have have knocked the the speed down like here along 495 and as you roll through wilmington, the Atlantic City expressway income down the entire stretch of the new jersey turnpike, and slower than normal across all of the area bridges. Philly international okay this morning. Hopefully we will have a rain situation maybe some rain delays but nonetheless that could set you back. Do check with the airline. Otherwise were in good shape coming down i95. No problems up and down 476. Mass transit just cautioned that the platforms could be slippery. Chris and lauren back over to you. Lets get back out to new jersey. Steve keeley is there for news mount laurel. Hi steve. Reporter things look like they have improved here or they looked like improved. Streetlights just came back on. Reason i say that we came into mount laurel. We see the the Police Department completely dark. We realized power is out there. Athathathathxc 7 00 oclock in the morning when the road refroze, because i a had just driven over the road and it was clear at 4 00 in the morning. The and then at 7 00 in the morning they suspect that parts of the road may have refroze cause ago this guy to lose control of a big suv just a couple of miles from here in mount laurel. So you can see traffic is moving pretty good on the main road and hopefully people are abiding by the reduced speed limit because it looks like there is a fog building up on the road too. Look at the headlights coming in the direction. It looks like visibility down. Maybe a mist in the air or because it is warming up. Maybe is there fog developing over the road surface. The just take it easy once you get on the main road dont think it is all clear sailing because we didnt get all of the snow we expect to get at the even have last week. Look at the side road here in mount laurel this is mount laurel road. You can see a lot of traffic out coming at us in the opposite direction where gregs camry is. You can see headlights in the distance but these people are on slushy road and were on a bridge this bridge surface usually also refreezes faster because there is in ground underneath. Take it easy out there and there is power outage on pse and gs map, with hundreds without power too. Dont keep your car parked pennsylvania under any branches that look like they are weighed down by this heavy wet snow because they will be coming down likely throughout the morning. Chris and lauren. Steve, you and greg be careful out there. Just go to my fox philly. Com right there on the home page youll see it weather tab. Get the latest on the forecast, traffic conditions and School Delays or closings. This morning north philadelphia girl was taken to the hospital after she falls out of the window.

Famous snipper, chris kyle. Coming up nasas twin experiment, at california twin astronauts will take part in the space mission, what nasa hopes to learn is coming up next. Xnao5n katie perry, we have sue serio. That is a old song. Im probable lit only one who knows it. School me on it because i dont know it. That is a group called brad wow. Heres a picture that paints a thousand word, it is a mess out there yuck. No matter what you are getting it is icky out there if it is rain it is slushy underneath the rain because snow fell before the change over to rain. In the pink area then you are getting probably some sleet and wintry mix and there is icy spots around because the temperatures are very close to freezing. Cold air on the surface. Warm air moved in overtop of the cold air and it is just a mess out there this morning. Especially out in berks county we are seeing some potentially icy spots in western, Chester County. It is still snowing in allentown but starting to change over a little bit to maybe some sleet and then, up toward mount pocono it continues to pile up. That is where we want the the accumulating snow, of course, in the mountains. Trenton weve pot rain but still sloppy around there and it is just that kind of of a morning, so this is going to continue for a little while, Winter Weather advisory in philadelphia at least should be lifted 59 00 now that we have all rain but winter storm warning continues through early afternoon for the poconos and Lehigh Valley. We are up to 35 degrees in philadelphia factoring in the wind it still feels like 29 out there and we have to allow extra time even though we have had a change over to rain and it is above freezing. The visibility is poor 3 miles in philadelphia, less than a mile in mount pocono. 2 miles down in dover delaware. Temperatures, 35 in the city but only 26 up in the mountains. That is why we expect in change over to rain in the Higher Elevations but 45 degrees in wildwood for this time of the year. That is a pretty mild morning. Your planner is for the rain to continue or wintry mix whatever you are getting throughout the rest of the morning and then tapers off around lunchtime. We will top off the in the mid 40s here in the the city. As soon as that rain end and maybe we will see some sunshine then cold air whipping in and wind will whip up and it is a pretty messy day on the way. That is your planner for monday from the weather authority. Lets get to traffic. Because bob kelly, the roads are not real lot of fun this morning. No, heres an example, sue 4 47 what the intersections look like this morning. That snow changed over to rain. It is a sloppy mess sloppy commute this morning. Again your tires are trying to grip through the slush as you are rolling through all of the intersections and mainly the untreated road surface. The once you make it to the majors like the schuylkill i95, blue route we are good to go. They are wet penndot actually sent out an alert that they have reduced speeds on all of the major roadways this morning. Definite the liz give yourself some extra time. You want to income it down by about 10 miles an hour then what you typically roll through. This is a live look at the route 100 in Chester County. It looks like we have one good lane but that far right or far left lane still possibly snow covered, and definitely the turning lane will be slush covered. Heres a live look the at route 202, the parkway at bristol road where we have wet road surfaces but that right or left turning lane sloppy at best. And then major roadways heres a live look at i95. Look at construction lane there is no shoulder like 95 through cottman avenue. Because it is more slush then snow at this point it is really not a plowable operation. We will to have get through it. That slush will eventually turn to liquid as the temperature begins to rise, and eventually it will roll in the drain. Some problems, north on the northeast extension, north of quakertown, a tractor trailer accident. We have got debris falling from the overpass here so church road is block at easton road in the heart of the cheltenham, glenside would be your best bet. Speed restriction as cross the board on all of the majors like 495, and the the Atlantic City expressway and the entire stretch of the new jersey turnpike, down to 35 miles an hour. And, speed restrictions across all of the area bridges but nothing major really to speak of right now. That is good news. The mass transit, everybody is okay but those platforms will be slippery with the slush as well this morning. Chris and lauren, back to you. All right bob, thank you. Nasa is preparing to launch its first ever twin study. Astronaut scott kelly is preparing to spend the the year at the International Space station while his twin brother mark stays here on earth. Nasa will use it to study effects of the long term space stay on the human body. Our fox reporter now has more. Reporter as a longest single adventure in Space Commander scott kelly will be in space on board the International Space station. While his twin brother, retired astronauts mark kelly, stays home on earth, with both taking part in nasas ultimate the space twin experiment. When nasa asked if i would be part of this study, i did not have to think very long. Absolutely. Im 100 percent behind scotts mission and this nasa research. Reporter genetically the brothers are almost identical so scientists will be able to match how scott and mark react physically and emotionally through challenges of long term exposure to the extreme of space on the human body. If were ever going to leave lower orbit there are a lot of negative effect that is we need to understand and haveh3 mitigations to those, or it is going to be very, very difficult for us to send people, you know, on a trip to mars and back or somewhere else. Reporter having the only identical twins who have orbited the earth as human begin i pigs opens up all kind of Amazing Research opportunities. The concern over zero gravity on the human body are potent. Understanding the effect of micro gravity but the radiation has on my dna when were able to compare to it my brothers on the ground, how do we protect the astronauts from the radiation on such a long trip.
