In honor of National Weather purpose day sue doesnt talk weather gibberish but im watching the news last night and i have to hear weather people usually from out of town say extreme south jersey and interior south jersey. I dont know what the heck they are talking about as somebody who grew up here. Im in interior south jersey because im not in the ocean and no longer in philadelphia so im in interior south jersey and we are heading to extreme south jersey which us folks from the philadelphia area refer to as the shore, chris. Yeah, that is true. What is your favorite moniker for the weather team, like extreme team or ultimate doppler or super ultimate tracker. Reporter ill tell you my ultimate idiotic saying from weather there was a guy who trained me for weather and he still works at news radio who will go nameless but he did a story at the shore last night. Only fly in the ointment. I said what the heck does that mean only fly in the ointment. The five day forecast we might have have drizzle on wednesday. And i thought, i hate when people do that. I say at the end of the day, it looks like this. Yes. We trash that one before. Chris, look as we start our day, look at the front of our truck. Weringing 55 miles an hour. This snow is sticking, i dont know if you can make that out. It is sticking to the hood. Only reason it is not around this light because light is melting it. So look at. That what sue is talking about the wet sticky stuff and that is, by the way, visibility is bad. I tweeted a picture like driving in the hyper space in star wars. Big flakes come at you but they are sticking even to a warm engine hood, how about that. That tells you the, see, it is wet, i will to have change gloves but that gives you a warning signs of what you can expect. The that is why they are putting salt on the road. It is sticking to a warm, hot piece of steel it will stick to the the road surface when you dont expect it too and that will send you flying off the road and you will have a lot more flies in your ointment. At the end of the the day you are the best reporter we have on this show. Reporter sure. All right. This is coming up on 5 07. Look at this video. Series of student brawls making their way on line.

A lot of parents are not quite sure about that, in the meantime we do know hashtag abington fight week has been taken down. There was also a picture of a knife, floating around on snap chat but we could not verify whether that knife was taken, picture was taken inside of a school or not. The School District and police say the situation is under control and many parents say they are going to have to wait a while to see that these fights and incident stop. We will continue to follow this but that is very latest from the the Abington Police department, chris. Dave, if i can, if you can, well, put on a different hat here with our coverage and pan your coverage to the side because the big story developing right now is the weather and it is really coming down in abington right now. Reporter look at these police cars, these, unmark cars but now they are mark by snow. I will walk over here and it doesnt feel that cold right now. Take a look, i dont think this would be a police violation. There is at least an inch of snow on this vehicle will. Let me show you the Historic Police Department Building here too as well. You can see the snow is really still coming in the floodlights here. It is pack up pretty good even on the ground here. Hoefully powe lease see time here. It is a wet snow. So it is come down.

Heres is what happening as you wake up and tackle the day because there will be a few challenges this morning. Temperatures in the low to mid 30s. So rain is in the process of changing over to wet snow. It is wet, slushy snow, expect some slick roadways as bob kelly has been telling u. S. Specially on bridges, where that cold air, gets under neat the bridge and can freeze the the bridge surface, reduce visibility, could slow you down as well. So the earlier you can leave the better, on a kay like today. Here it is, it is i a storm that is hugging the coast and because colder temperatures are rolling in precipitation changing from rain to snow, and then it looks like that change is almost complete in our viewing area as you can see over last hour the rain in Atlantic City changing over to wet snow but may change back a little bit with the temperature close to freezing but some of them at least at the surface air above freezing. Lighter snow to the north and west of us, heavier snow along the coast where the it is closer to the storm and that is what we expect the rest of the morning as we see this area of purple and blue is more intense in Atlantic City, cape may and delaware beaches as well, throughout the rest of the morning as we get hour by hour we will see that it is still with us but heavier snow is falling east of philadelphia arc we will probably get that slushy coat to go an inch or so in the metro area but higher accumulations pretty quickly through 11 or 12 00 oclock is when the storm leaves the shore. Probably by 10 00 oclock it is gone here in philadelphia a. So, snowfall totals three to 4 d accumulation mostly on the grassy surfaces, the Atlantic City, sea isle city, cape may, one to 2 inches in the philadelphia area it haze quick. The it is gone by 10 00 a. M. 356789 degrees in philadelphia most of the temperatures just above freezing. The wind, because of the visibility, reduced, wind are out of the north and wind are gusting up to 22 miles an hour in places like millville, new jersey.

Bob kelly, what is our problem this morning. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. First accident, route one north bound at bucks county right at 213. Dont get that false sense of security. There is a change over. This is one of the toughest types of storms that occurs, and starts, and changes over during the course of a rush hour, temperatures are continuing to drop here, in the last hour, Road Conditions are going to change from the time you step outside the front door to the time you get to where you are going this morning. That change over is happening, during our morning rush hour here. All right another accident north of the freeway, coming in toward philadelphia, right here near black horse pike. You can see snow coming from the sky as we see here 202 at horsham road up in bucks county, but roads are still wet but that will all change as those temperatures continue to drop and 95 in the Construction Zone is tough, tough to see those lane markers here, we even have salt crews out here as well, penndot, new jersey dot, dell dot they have put down the brine yesterday, layer of salt this morning.

Lets take a live look at philly International Airport for us, bob kelly will track any delays at the airport because of all of the precipitation, snowfall and rain, straight ahead. Good morning at 5 30 this morning on the fox 29 morning news our top story is the latest round of all this weather hitting right now, a live look of wilmington delaware and you can see radar very active especially down the shore and out over the atlantic ocean. Good day, on this friday, february 5th, lauren has the morning off. Sue serio, you you are very busy on this friday. Yes, and bus stop buddy is getting busy layering up with all of the rain gear on. We put rain gear on because it is a very wet snow but make sure kid have the boots on because it is off to a sloppy, snowy, start, to the day, temperatures are in the 30s, some above, some just below freezing as that rain changing over to snow. With everything gone by lunchtime it is half and half kind of day, that is why we have five out of ten. Right now it is messy, tricky travel out there. The green is rain, of course and the whiteys snow and we have seen green change to white throughout the morning since we have been here this morning and now it looks like change over is just about complete, southern delaware, you are seeing more rain then snow, and for most of us, it is just sloppy out there it is 36 degrees, and, 7 miles an hour win. 7 06 is your sunrise time. We have 30 degrees in mount pocono, below freezing, not as much snow as we will get along the coast, but still got to watch it and take your time. We are right at freezing in wilmington, dover delaware a degree above in millville and Atlantic City in new jersey. So our Winter Weather advisory continues throughout the morning, and end at 10 00 oclock in philadelphia, ends at noon along the coast as that is the way the snow will leave. So it will leave us with several inches that will accumulate. It the is already piling up quickly, again mostly on the grass surfaces but there could be lots of tricky travel around. So 43 is our high, after the precipitation end and sun comes back out but wind will be picking up to 30 miles an hour for win gusts later on today. 29 degrees and clear tonight. That is your Weather Authority forecast, so already we have had some problems on the the roads, we cannot emphasize enough, bob kill toy just take your time. Yeah, take your time and dont get that false sense of security. This is worse kind of morning storm scenario in that it is a game changer throughout the morning rush hour. Conditions are changing as we get through the morning here and resetting itself, give yourself a second, bam, here we go. Thinks 202 at horsham road. Look the at difference in the last 15 minutes where we had wet roads and i want to show you here it is starting to stick to the road surface. The that is the game plan now, again changing from rain to snow, from out here along 202, and that change over eventually working its way all the way to the shore where sue mentioned we are expecting anywhere from two to 3 inches down the shore. Heres a live look at north bound route one, right here near 213 already an accident there in the right lane. Poor visibility knocked down in the the last 15 minutes on the vine street expressway. So again visibility, Road Conditions are changing as we move through the rest of the morning rush hour. Bennie, whitman, Commodore Barry all looking good but there are speed restrictionness play, north on the freeway coming in toward philadelphia, an accident right here near black horse pike, an accident north on the new jersey turnpike right at exit number six. That is the turp pike connection bridge. They have put a speed restriction for the entire stretch of the new jersey turnpike and you dont want to get that false sense of security, folks are out early, road just look wet but as that snow and rain starts to mix that is where things become slippery and slower than normal situation. Plus heading to the wing bowl we are flooded out on i95 off ramp to packer avenue has some flooding in it. The obviously drains are block there so that is causing delays from broad street on up toward that walt whitman bridge. Just factor in extra time it will take you longer this morning, schuylkill, i95, slower than normal speed but so far so good at the a airport at the moment. Bob kelly, you are busy as is sue but first lets show you this. Wintry weather has returned as sue and bob both said. Many are waking up to this nice fresh blanket of snow. All right. The shore is taking the brunt of this right new as we have seen by radar and as steve keeley has been reporting. Steve, you have been up an down the shore. Where are you right now. Can you read . I think you can maybe in the dark the beautiful sign that should have light working for some reason the lights dont work and that probably goes with the whole motif of Atlantic City right now. It says welcome to Atlantic City. It is a dark welcome. Strangely, even they the forecast says the worst has been the shore, this is the best conditions we have driven in, since we left philadelphia this morning at 2 30 a. M. Not as much snow here. Not as big flakes here and it the is like the complete mix of the wintry mix. It is freezing rain, droplets, pellets, regular rain and some snow flakes all mixed in. It is not as windy here as it was in our last two live shots because the stuff is falling straight down from the sky where as before it was blowing sideways. Salt trucks have done a great job. We have not slipping. We have not seen any accidents. It seems like real trouble spots are where bob kelly is mentioning closer to philadelphia right now. All they there is a lot of traffic here on the black horse pike coming ape going. This is that famous intersection at west end avenue. This sign says Atlantic City straight. You go to the down Beach Community ventnor, margate, licensing port but this always flood. But that is back bay there. I was there blizzard weekend and this was under 2 feet of water here. Always flooding, and the good thing is, that no flooding concerns today, even at high tides, but, the trouble spots, again, on the way to the shore and on the way back to philadelphia, so chris, do not be surprised if you see us heading back that way for bigger trouble where the population is centered in philadelphia by the way, chris, going back to school, do you see that movie, strangely when i googled that Robert Downey junior was into that. That was going back when he first got out of prison. Rodney dangerfield and sam kenney son both great comedy legend who passed away. I think that movie came out in 88, 89, i want to say. Yes, burt young, Sylvester Stallone from the rocky movies, and whole slew of stars. Yes. Hey, by the way, Atlantic City where you are right now, i was there yesterday to talk about the boat show at the convention center. A remind that are warmer weather is coming. Reporter we pass add lot of pool supply places and Swimming Pool places and it is a reminder that, well, usually halfway mark, i dont call it super bowl but wing bowl is Halfway Point of the winter and that is one good thing about wing bowl in peoples mind. It marks the down slope of winter. Steve, go get a boat and live the dream. Temple needs to get the hot if they wanting to to the big tournament and last night was a good start. Great ending to the big game straight ahead. The eagles arent in the super bowl but they have a guy to root for. Panthers wide receiver corry brownies in from philadelphia and went to Cardinal Ohara high school and on media day he talk about how panthers deserve every single award. You have to give respect to his talents, you know, and give him the mvp. Coach riveria should win coach of the year. Basically everything comes back to carolina. Temple, tells, down by one, quinton decozy find Devon Coleman in the corner and he hits the tray ball. That send them to overtime and in overtime owls take control. It is a three right there. Temple goes onto win 8379. Flyers, jake voracek to claude giroux, he nails it in there, and that is an offensive explosion. They won sixthree. That is sports in a minute. Im sean bell. Super bowl of philadelphia means one thing. Wing bowl. Wing bowl 24 this year and this morning table is set at wells far go center. Contestant will stretch their insides to the limit when competition begins. Last year patrick burtleti took home the top prize, he flew in from chicago to sit down and eat 444 wings in 26 minutes. I dont think i could eat 444 wings in 26 hours. This year he has got heated competition, lebron james of competitive eating molly skylar she won wing bowl 22. She wants to take the crown back away from patrick. We will have a crew there and have have highlights if you want to call them that all morning long on good day philadelphia which begins in about 18 minutes from now. And in the meantime were tracking latest run of wintry weather, heres a live look outside our studio at fourth and market in olde city where the rain just turned to snow. Coming up, one and sue will have updates and a look at the roads. Its just a cough. If you could see your cough, youd see just how far it can spread. Robitussin dm max soothes your throat and delivers fast, powerful cough relief. Robitussin dm max. Because its never just a cough. It is range snow. We have temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Wet, slushy snow. You cannot rule out slick road. We have had a couple days where temperatures have been well above freezing. We had that 62 degrees on wednesday, and yesterday we were in the 50s but still you have to be careful. Take your time. Is there reduced visibility with this wet snow falling. It looks like for most of the area the changeover, from green to white, which means the change over from rain to snow has happened so we are looking at mostly white in the entire viewing area, and very light, out in lancaster. Further you getaway from the ocean the lighter the snowfall will be. So here in the city we will get some grassy a accumulations, maybe an inch or so, a little less north and west of the city where you see it sort of gray and hardly any snow is falling and then a little more along the coastal counties, like atlantic county, cape may, Sussex County in delaware where the snow, brighter white here and falling heavier, so be careful. This is going to last, well, how long . Through the morning. By 7 00 it is easing up in philadelphia, but heavier snow is still falling along the shore, points and then through 9 00 oclock it is tapering in the city but still snowing a at the shore points. We dont think it will be over the at the shore until about noon today. Then the sun comes out and we will have a decent weekend but this really is a big old nuisance, it is the timing of the storm that makes it, so inconvenient. As far as how much we will accumulate . Three to 4 inches at the shore. One to 2inchs long i95 corridor, coat to go an inch if you are lucky up the two north ape west but doesnt take much to make a mess as you know. Specific amounts forecast ted by one computer maryland ellen more than 3 inches the Atlantic City international, two and a half in wildwood and a inch or so here in philadelphia. Temperatures air about freezing here in the city, right above freezing in wilmington with 33, 32 at freezing mark in dover, delaware. Below freezing in the mountains. Be careful for slick spots there the visibility greatly reduced at philly international, now only threequarters of a mile. You may run into that Poor Visibility and wind whipping up that wet snow gusting in some places as much as 25 miles an hour. So once the sun comes out we will get to 43 degrees today. Pretty nice tomorrow. Pretty typical february day with high in the mid 40s. 50 degrees on sunday. The it looks okay for monday with increasing included and then we will watch another possible system on tuesday, of next week. It the is possible, pop kelly. Keyword, possible. It is possible that things could be slippery out there this morning. 5 47. Heres an example of wilmington delaware route 13 down south of wilmington. That change over has already occurred so were dealing with just a timing scenario whereas roll through morning rush hour the wet roads will become snow covered. Obviously crews are out here. Heres i95 right here inner 420 as you can see starting to see that snow stick to the road surface on the far left or far right side but again crews put do that layer of salt but that just because we dont see the snow sticking to the road surface doesnt mean it will not be slippery. Heres an example of that one lane pattern on the schuylkill expressway now. Hopefully we will start to get volume, tires churn that salt put down by penndot, new jersey dot and dell dot and that keeps the road wet but passable. But that is major roadways. Your secondary road, side streets, remember any of that, those secondary roads that still have that pack down snow left over from last week that will be just ice underneath that little snow covering. Live look at the vine street expressway, ben franklin bridge, speed restrictions, an accident north on the freeway coming in toward philadelphia a right here near black horse pike. Also an accident north bound on the new jersey turnpike at exit number six. So far so good on mass transit and we are looking good at the airport. 5 49.
