Slushy wintry mix made getting around trick tiki for drivers who braced the slick streets. Bruce gordon joins us in full com where things are looking a little different, bruce. A wild afternoon actually. We got a brief snow flurry about an hour and a half ago within the last hour or so the clouds have come back we actually had peek of sun earlier but the clouds are back and temperature has dropped frankly things were much worse this morning. That hard to predict line between cold air and not quite so cold air left Delaware County with a good bit less snow and a fare amount more sleet than forecasters had expected. Which changed but did not reduce the threat to Early Morning motorists. Bad, very bad. Roads are frozen. Drive slow and safe. A bunch of people stuck. An accident right down the corner, too. Pulled two people out already. Downed lines left 2800 peco customers without power for awhile. And Road Conditions remain dizzy for most of the morning. Whats the worse part of the driving so far this morning . The main roads and the back roads. Reporter everything slush covered. Very much. Its freezing. Reporter around noontime the sleet died down. Homeowners emerged from their homes to begin the big dig. Snow blowers were put to their noisy use. The blizzard of 17 as something of a bust.

Reporter as usual the kids didnt let the cold and wind dampen their enthusiasm. Are you ready, set, go. They raced to the nearest sledding hills for thrills on ice. You go down a lot faster and quicker a lot of fun. Reporter great conditions for this . Yeah. Reporter at sleet the kids were having fun. The snow that came down earlier in that sleet slushy mess was best pick up and best cleared away as soon as it came down. At this point its clearly going get hardened, crusty an lot tougher to clear from the driveway or sidewalk lucy. Well see what happens tonight but again at least the good news here is macdade boulevard clean as a whistle. All right. Hopefully not ice ring later. Thank you much bruce gordon. In central pennsylvania dad built a Hillary Clinton key ring in his backyard but township wants him to take it down. You see that thing. Its a full sized hockey ring.

Needless to say his sons are bummed. Kids want to have fun. Let them. Yeah. Come over my house and play hockey. They do have a glimmer of hope. Township Officials Say the beam which is keep the ring if they move it to a different part of the yard. Im thinking that would be really really difficult to do. How do you move that . Well, i dont know. Good luck with that. All right. Lets get back to the fox 29 Weather Authority now. As we take live look at ben franklin parkway as we dig out from the winter storm. The story now of course ice and wind. Lets get back over to meteorologist kathy orr. Kathy you were saying things like in delaware and stuff you were talking about, what, 6inches or so and i think it hit that, right . Yeah. In Delaware County six to 10inch of inches and we talked about that. If you vet the sleet and rain youll be on the low end and thats what happened. Thats what happened in philadelphia as well with 6inches of snow reported at Philadelphia International airport. It temperature right now at freezing but it feels like 20 with that northwest wind at about 21 miles an hour. Thats a sustained wind. We have a few back snow showers rotating through on the back side of the storm. You can see them pretty much falling apart over parts of Chester County and also western New Castle County for tonight some partial clearing and just gusty winds. In new jersey, we picked up anywhere from close to 6inches of snow in florence, mt. Holly, 5inches pennington, 5inches to about 4inches in brick townsh township. Wept defendant forward and Berlin Township close to 3inches snow are you more sleet and more rain. Wind chills right now feeling pretty cold in pottstown it feels 16. 15 degrees thats the wind chill in lancaster and it feels like 14 in reading and the poconos it feels like its only 2 degrees above zero its going to feel even colder overnight tonight. So we have temperatures in the 30s in philadelphia. Most of pa. But look how far down to the south that cold air goes. In atlanta its only 39. And this dip in the jet stream bringing that cold air so far south is what helped to guide that storm off the coast. And to intensify. As we go hour by hour you see partial clearing overnight and during the day tomorrow, strong northwesterly winds creating some snow showers or snow squalls for the afternoon. So please be aware of that. Overnight tonight, those wind chills dip and by tomorrow morning at the bus stop it will feel like one below in reading much it will feel like 1 degree in the poconos. It will feel like four in philadelphia. And wilmington it will just feel like three above zero and during the afternoon, wind chills mainly in the teens philadelphia south and east but still in the single numbers to the north and west. So as we look ahead overnight tonight the low temperature getting down to 22 with wind chills mainly in the single numbers. Winds gusting to 30 during the day tomorrow, the High Temperature going for only 30 so staying blow freeze freezing. Not much melting gone on. Another storm moving our way for friday into saturday starts off snow and changes to rain and on your seven day forecast as we look ahead, clouds with blustery conditions and some snow showers tomorrow. Thursday sunny but gusty the temperature 35. St. Patricks day going close to 40 degrees. And then the early showers saturday. As temperatures warm back up into the 40s. Still below average. February was so warm that this seems pretty cold. I think in the end, the month of february will be much more above average than march but temperatures slowly warming and thats when youll see the melting friday, saturday and as we head through the beginning of next week. That is the very latest from the weather center. The next chance of snow will be very Early Saturday Morning. Spring supposed to be around the corner. As i recall. Lets melt. Lets melt.
