Your morning is safe. We will check with them and all of the work they are doing today. Of course, we have jenny looking at the road. Shes riding around in that cute little vehicle. I love this little car. That is a live shot. Where are you. Reporter yeah, we are driving through Chester County. The snow is sticking on the ground. We saw a plow truck passing us by. They are out there and working for us, alex and mike. Where are you what intersection i bet greg knows, your driver. Reporter yes heres 100 south. I see that. Reporter im sorry, and the turnpike. The turnpike okay. I know exactly where you are. Downingtown interchange. Six vehicle length between you and that car. We want to see distance. We want to see jenny again. Look a at that. Our first snow globe of the year. I just hope we can make it through. Somebody sent me a picture and they showed a Convenient Store with all of the shelves empty. Better go get my bread. Milk, bread and eggs. I medication that had earlier, my mom always had milk bread and eggs but she never made french toast. We need cinnamon. We always had milk, bread and eggs but she never made anything. You got a pop start. Put a pop tart in and get out of there. That is only time i have french toast when it snows. I love french toast. Hi, sue. It is one of those mornings where it will be a little bit messy for to you get where you are going. We are giving you a four out of ten. One plus it is not as windy a as it was yesterday but we have wind chills in the teens. So take a tip from bus stop buddy if you have to stand outside for a while, make sure you layer it up and wear those good traction boots out there. Because it could be a more dangerous to walk then ride because a a lot of the road surfaces have been treated this morning. Winter weather advisory in effect until 4 00 p. M. One to 2 inches of they by the the time all i had is said and done. The is there a look at the radar. It would be brighter white believe me if there was heavier snow falling but still, it looks like that at the airport. 20 degrees. 3mile an hour wind. Sunrise at 7 23. Twentyseven is already what we get for a High Temperature. It should clear up by midday. Maybe one or 2 00 in the afternoon. 21 degrees tonight. Quite cold once again. We will tell you about the coldest air of the season on the way in the seven day forecast coming up, hi, bob. 7 03. Do you know what i love about being here at fox 29 . What . We have 300 cameras here showing you all kind of weather conditions. Lets begin in delaware. This is a live look at he will being ton road at route two, and they were the first folks down there to see the the snow flakes. We are seeing roads start to get snow covered. Major jam the on the 30 bypass for the gang leaving downingtown heading eastbound bumper to bumper to bumper here. So naturally the snow is going to slow us down and, of course penndot they were out on the overnight putting down that salt brine solution. As long as road stay wet, we will be okay but this is a live look add where jenny and her photographer just drove wye actually the overpass there for the pennsylvania turnpike. Lets go to 202, right here near route 100 in the Construction Zone, look out, all of the work zones like 202, and i95, we will be a little bit more trick think morning, because there is no shoulder, and hopefully we dont to have plow any of that snow today. Heres a live look at the the schuylkill. Again, is not snow covered but the the flakes are light and fluffy enough that it is just kind of blowing around on the road surface here, in and out of town. Now, the the new jersey turnpike, already kicked in a speed restriction from the delaware in Memorial Bridge all the way up to new york. 45 miles an hour there. Speed restrictions on 495, as you roll through wilmington. Naturally with the speed restrictions and the weather it will take a little bit longer to day then it did yesterday to get there. Fifteen minute delay on the Lansdale Doylestown Regional Rail line. All trains, all stops on the market frankford line, that is preventing anybody from standing outside on the platform as one of those express trains roll by and mass transit the other than lansdale lining running with to delays. Back to you. Do you hear that bob. We have the the bell. We have another winner. That is right, our first flake winner out of Atlantic County touchdown in Atlantic City from mckenna long. Or mckenna. It is mckenna. Yes. In fact i may uncles name is mckenna. Really. His last name is ed mckenna. We have another bell ring because we have bucks county as well. Phil adams out of bucks county, he lives in bensalem. He tweeted this photo. I dont know if we have that one yesterday. Well, somers point, yeah beat out by mckenna. It is a race follow accounts. Margate, they beat you. Egg harbor township, atlantic, or is that ocean . I should know that. I think that is ocean. Help me. Sue. A Atlantic County it is atlantic. That will get through too. Yes. I still think it is mcken tweet us mcken a. Okay. So jenny is still driving around and steve is in montgomery county. Lets go north first and go to steve. Are you picking snow flakes off the car. How about that, for french toast egg and milk batter new jersey today. Do you like that idea. Egg and milk batter township. Let me lay a little knowledge on you. Heres some trivia. French toast isnt french at all, did you know that. Difficult not that. Who invented french toast. Here you go a guy name joseph friend inch albany, new york in 1724. What . How is that. He live up in that area. Go a head and Google Joseph french. That is where it came from. Historians will tell you it started in the roman empire in fifth century ad. How about that. That long. I love history lessons, by steve. Reporter this is all off the top of my head, here. How about we get to the point. Snow . Still dark out, still dark out. But the darkness is helping you see the illuminated white on the road and the sidewalk. A as we talk about driving all morning. The more treacherous thing as chris pans to the right is walking stop. Chris, show the guy walking and slipping in the snow here going into wawa because it is not deep enough to shovel. You have to broom the stuff or use a leaf blower to get rid of it. It is very treacherous, in this wawa. As we say that the guy starts salting. Look at. That how about that. There is breaking news again. They are paying attention here. This wawa is on a slant. That is why everybody walking by our news truck is nearly falling. People will to have relearn how to walk on icy surfaces as he much as they have to return. Be careful walking because they are coated and because it was so cold overnight this stuff is freezing and sticking instantly, on surfaces. Not sticking on the grass where it usually sticks first and the grass strangely. It is not solid because it rained so much the other day saturday, all day and friday night. Were sin king in. It will be rock solid by thursday when it is real cold out but the the grass is not sticking first this time like you normally see it do. Mike, i have a question he about that sweater. Certainly. Reporter was it a post christmas sale did you get a buy one get one free deal or is that beneath you and you paid full price even though it is after christmas. You should have got a good deal, if you just got it yesterday, what is the story there. Reporter i was walking by this place called theory on walnut street and a sweater on a manikin caught my eye but it was 60 percent so i got two sweaters, and i may just rock that next sweater on the next snow fall. Reporter you bought something on sale not full price. Theory by the way quite an expensive store. It is not cheap. Let me put it that way. Reporter you are right it is not cheap. Reporter you did not get it at kmart. You know, steve jj castro tweeted me he doesnt believe that this is not the sweater from thanksgiving, you want proof. Listen you fish faces ill call the woman over at theory a after 9 00 oclock. A lovely woman. Reporter heres what i want to you do. Do a little math. I want to you tell us what you got, what you paid for that 50 percent off deal. How many sweater. Reporter who how many sears sweater you can get for that sweaters at the theory. My guess is you could have got double digit sears sweater. Or for man mills. The one you you got me at walmart last year that had the sleeves zone into the sweater. Umhmm. How much was that. Twelve bucks. Reporter it was 19. 99 down. And they sold out. Still to this day the the best you ever looked on this show. That looked darn good on you. I loved that sweater for some reason. The it was so comfortable. Yes. Because the shirt underneath the sweater it is hard to pull down. Why did you give ate way. Somebody wanted it a viewer wanted it and i gave it to her you are so giving. I figured. Horrible. Lets get to jenny shes trying all around the place. Greg is. Shes sitting in the passenger seat really not doing much of anything. Reporter no, just hanging out. I am amused by your conversation. I will tell you if you are wearing a theory sweater it must be soft. I love theory. It is very comfortable. It is cash mere. Yes. So we are driving along route 100, we are in the exton area here of Chester County. I will just pan off to the right. You can see that the snow is, sticking to the ground. Since you guys can spy on us, you can also see that we are keeping a Nice Distance between us and the other drivers on the roadways. Lots of people are taking their time out here. It is smart. We have also seen a couple of plows, i dont think that we have about an inch of snow, however, we have seen those plow trucks out here just clearing the path as we are in rush hour right now. So there are more cars on the road, right now, alex and mike. Thanks, jenny. We will check back with you in just a second. Do you see how her reports are so much shorter than steves. Is there a difference. Oh, is there a difference. So anymore pictures coming in the control room camille. We have a bunch of pictures. This is from tiffany, so dusting here so far in norwood, Delaware County. We already have dell companies. Shes a Honorable Mention. Yes. Scarlet long, coatsville, already a three car accident to the right because it is a downhill spot. I hail to see that. Everybody be careful out there on the roadways. Yes. So paoli that is what. That is in Chester County. Yes chester. We already have a chester. Another Honorable Mention don in berks. Do we have a berks yet. I dont think so we will check the list, check it twice. We have a winner. Thank you, don. Yes. Berks. Do we have anymore. Okay. We have a western. That is always good. You can use facebook and instagram too but i think were only using twitter at this point for the big prize the first flake prize. Do you want to expand it. Okay. Ill get you something. Umhmm. Like oprah you get a car you get a car. Everybody gets a car. Psyched. 7 13 this is good day version, we cannot give cars. Maybe a tail pipe. Maybe we can get them a shovel. Like the one steve has. A little extender thing. You afforded this sweater. Im just saying. Sue, just take it. Now, this is snow in springfield now. There are two springfield, one in delco, montco but i love the name of the handle, it looks like a fine dusting of powdered sugar. Extra fine powdered sugar there on the cars like the food analogy dont we. Low pressure system dragging this quick moving, relatively speaking, clipper system through the area that is what is dumping the snow on us right now and it is starting to get slippery. A according to the future cast this snow stays with us on and off a it wont be continue, and it wont be heavy snow through about noon time, say one or 2 00 in the a afternoon. But bite evening rush it is going to be gone. You may see a flurry or two tonight but the the storm storm is with us ape it is making a miss. As steve mentioned it too there could be more dangerous if you walk and drive. So many roadways were treated last night in anticipation of the storm. Just got to take your time and be careful as we look at our winter wetsed vicary. It is in effect until 4 00pn for highlighted counties there the snow will end before then though but that is precaution there. One to 2 inches is still what were calling for their. Temperatures are cold 20 degrees here in the ate i. Ten in mount pocono where they were making snow last night in the mountains. 19 degrees in wilmington. Twentyfive in wildwood. So, layer it up, today and then get ready to be even colder tomorrow and on thursday. So, thursday is the worst of this cold spell. It starts to get a little bit better but it does not warm up by any means. Saturdays high only 29. We should be up to the 30s on monday, sunday, and on monday, but for today, that light snow, lasting at least through the rest of the morning. Bob kelly, do you like these powdered sugar analogy. I do. 7 15. What a difference ten makes can make. Sidewalks, live look in the delaware, at route seven in delaware. They have been dealing with the snow for the last couple of hours or so. Lets go to Delaware County. We have a live look at route 202 and route one, Painters Crossing where roads that have been treated will become wet. That was the purpose of the brine that they put down yesterday. This is butler pike and a limekiln road in montgomery county. I95 northeast philadelphia up by the the train station between woodhaven and academy road, not seeing really any flakes as of yet. That whole storm system is moving north, and east, northeast philadelphia bucks county, you will as get hit next. Heres a live look at route 100 right here near path turnpike the walt whitman bridge now kicked in a speed restriction, and because of the weather restrictions. Speed restrictions up and down the new jersey turnpike down to 45 miles an hour. Same deal on 495 as you roll through wilmington. Septa 15 minute delays on that Lansdale Doylestown line and inbound, because of the the power problems and the market frankford line all trains making all stops. No express trains this morning. Broad street subway looking good and we will start to see delays not because of the snow, but just because of the slow go, on that schuylkill expressway between conshohocken and center city. Mike and alex, back over to you. We have a winner. Yes, were writing it down now. I will have to go because it came in literally at the same time. It did. A tie. Yes. Dave adams and diana. But first is colleen. Yes colleen from Cape May County representing. All right, colleen. Yes. She wrote fox 29. In the windshield. Another bell ring for creativity. Yeah, nice good we love that. So what do we have now. How did she get her finger through that deep snow. A couple from burlington, im going with the tie here. Ive got your do dave adams and diana steviano. We will try to get those pictures up. Thinks a new thing. This is your thing, the cow bell. I hope it is in the a anything anybody. We need more. If you have a winner you have to have something to celebrate. Yes, we do need more cow bells. We need a stick too. I can use my pen. By the way, have you noticed that alex of course is from the texas area, the dallas region there. Umhmm. Apparently Chris Christie took off his orange sweater and gave it to alex. Look all a all that footage there do we have him in the box with jerry jones. I saw yesterday evening he was defending his allegiance to the dallas cowboys. Yes. Everyone is still talking about it. The the governor, of course, celebrating with dallas owner jerry jones but he admitted he has been a loyal cowboys fans since he was a kid. Sure. Buts dressed it once again with a call into the sports radio show boomer and carton. He even talked about the sweater. Lets deal with the red sweater these days. First of all, the sweater is orange. It looks red on tv. I know, i have heard that. What is up with the orange sweater, im thinking pumpkin what are we doing here. Heres the thing, the first cowboy game i went to this year the and that is what i pick to wear. The as it turns out there are some people in my universe that believe that becomes a good luck thing. Okay. I have warn it to every cowboys game i have been to this year. That was my fifth one last night and it has won all five. He didnt stop there. This is a pretty good interview. He gets so excited, he is like 12 yearold boy. Is he now planning to be cowboys good luck charm. That is what he was saying. I take offense to that. I really do. Well, he is still in it, and were not. He is a better one i guess that is what that means. So anyway it looks great on you, alex, im glad the governor sent his sweater to you. But he also did talk with eagles fans because his brother Todd Christie brought it up. You know, what i said, to folks in philadelphia is i love passionate eagles fans. That is great. Im glad they root hard for their team. But, you know, just because im governor of new jersey does not mean i change who i root for. That is his point. He has been a fan all of his life. But from new jersey. So, he got on the band wagon, of a winner. He is still on the band wagon. Spokesperson also attended the playoff game as a guest of jerry jones. People are worried about tax dollars. He said jerry jones provided both the ticket and the transportation from new jersey and dallas. We got some tweets does he have security, are we paying for that then to go with him. I dont know about that. I would think jerry provides security for him. Im sure jerry has his own security. We call him jerry. Youre on a first name bases. Because you have a blue sweater here. I will take this off and sit here naked. We dont want that. How would you like to watch all of the sports you want without cable, without cable bills . The new on demand network for sports fans im getting the idea this has to do with dish. Maybe. You got the dish. Lets get back outside. Because we are seeing a dusting. This is old but i am so excited. I can go back out there. It is right outside at fourth and market. True. Deciding which bread to buy can be tough. Deciding between buying bread and health care is much tougher. Healthy pa is now here to help with namebrand Health Insurance for the cost of a few basic groceries. If youre uninsured, call or apply online today. It is 7 24 on this somewhat of a snow day. It is whimpy. What are you saying di. It is, technically were in the snow right now. I can feel it on my face. Yes. What a face it is. It makes snow melt it is gigantic. The should i ring it. Another winner, montgomery county. Yeah, plymouth meeting, pennsylvania. Wow. Look at that. Little bit of the coating there. Okay. We should tell people about this because they are watching tv. The primaries on many people have yet to cancel their tv services, you know, cable irv zest is live sports. I love it. But this Network Dish Network is taking a different route here. So those cancellations can be happening, soon. Listen to this. Lauren, we have a new option. Umhmm, it is called sling tv, it was unveiled at Consumer Electronics show taking place in las vegas. What it is it is an option from dish network which is currently, spatting with fox business and fox news channel. But it is an option for them to kind of get that 18 to 35 yearold demographic largely absent from that satellite service. Espn and espn two. A dozen other channels for 20 a in or about the fifth of a price of a average network. I like the way alex called it buying tv allah cart like a menu. So many people say i want to cancel it but i got to have my espn. Reporter that is why so many pay those hundred dollars a plus bills because we want live tv. So you can get some of this with this services, of course, it is not allah cart. You cannot choose what of the dozen or so channels they give you. But you some people, especially those core cutters or 18 to 35 years old would opt for Something Like this. It is a single screen model. If you are watching one of the channels veilable your roommate cannot watch anything else. Only one tv. It is 20 bucks a month. I will get out of the shot so we can do a double box of matching orange sweaters. Chris christie inspired a trend, look at this. Yes. Im actual any red, but all right. It looks the same on tv. It looks like the same. Were still in the club. We need to get dish tv you are not a cowboys fans, are you. Im not a cowboys fan but you know Chris Christie taking a lot of heat for that. Yes, he is. But the at least he is in republican territory right. Well, that is true. Thanks, lauren. By the way shes on the fox business network. Her show is on around 6 00 oclock every evening on fox business network. Penndot was hard at work last night, im sure they have work harder but they were at work last night clearing road laying down the were checking back in norristown. Earlier steve was just saying it looks like little nat flying down but it is coming down more some one told me alex, they are so excited. They are getting snow. This doesnt count. It really is a pretty whimpy storm. If only you you had been here last year for all 68 inches that we got throughout the wintertime. It was quite a sight. It is still slippery though. We have reports from people that just this little bit is making a mess. Slow go out there just take it easy. And, sidewalks could be slippery, then the roadways, this morning. So bus stop buddy is staying put at the bus stop, just taking it easy. Cannot see a smile because he its all bundled up. Wind chills in the teens this morning. In your weather by the numbers we will give you a four it is tricky travel out there this morning. At least it is not as windy, as it was, yesterday when we still had those wind chills in the teens. Your Winter Weather advisory last until 4 00 this afternoon if the snow, indeed does last that long. We will see how it goes the first snow flakes of 2015 it should add up to only a inch or two. So as far as nose storms go it is not it would worse we have ever seen. We have snow scattered throughout the area it is falling lightly. It will take a while to just add up to 1 inch. It is Poor Visibility out there, as well. Look at it out there. 20 degrees in philadelphia. The the high of only 27. Then back down to around 20, 21 overnight with partly cloudy skies. After the snow is out of here, then we have to deal with extreme cold the coldest air mass of the season is on the way. We will tell you when it arrives, coming up. Practice for us here. 7 32. A live look at Delaware County or route 202 and route one all coming together, Painters Crossing in the background there. You will find some delays, or some slippery spots. Maybe in the intersections here or maybe the the left or right turning lanes. I know we will talk to penndot in a second. They have put down the brine last night. Heres 202 northbound at a disable here off to the shoulder in the Construction Zone as you work up through route one. For the gang coming in from say royersford, collegeville slower than normal also you work your way 422 inbound in toward king of prussia lets go to south jersey, live look at 492 freeway. Coming in toward philadelphia depending upon where you begin and end your trip you will see a little bit more snow on the road surface then in other spots. The parking lots could be slippery, as well and an accident over here in south jersey, 38 and route 206, just outside of pemberton. They now have speed restriction as cross the walt whitman. I think ben franklin will probably kick in with one next. So as you come across the bridges even watch it as you put the brakes on going through the toll plazas. And speed restrictions up and down that new jersey turnpike as you work your way in towards philadelphia on the freeway, and slower than normal from 55, all the way in toward 295. So septa says they now have 20 minute delays on the trenton Regional Rail line. We will add that to the 15 minute delays on the Lansdale Doylestown line and on the market frankford line making all stops with. I just got a tweet from the guy name joe and he said average speed is 20 to 30 miles an hour. Ring the the belfor joe. Yes. Keep keep up it dated on the traffic. We have another bell ringing. The mercy county tyler. Tyler. Lets lot a the photo. Look at that. First flakes of the season. Snow with two exclamations point. Hamilton, new jersey. Lets get out and tram lean on this snow flakes. That would be fun to see it flying up in the air though. Lets check with charlie metzger. We have not talk to him since last winter. Hi charlie from pen done. Hi mike how are you. Alex holley sitting in for her first snow coverage. Enjoying her first snow coverage. This one is mild. Im enjoying it. Shes turning around going oh, isnt it pretty. Okay. So i dont know if you ever use the press which your crew but do you see any problems. The snow is just starting to fall and it is starting to make contact with the roadways. So we had our 182 state trucks in at midnight last night and we were able to get our first application of salt brine down early. So as morning rush starts to get a little heavier, were urging motorist to drive at a reduced speed, allow additional time to get to their destinations a and maintain at least twice the distance between themselves and the vehicle in front of them. That is a good shot right there. Turnpike. Maybe i am not sure exactly where that is. No. What exactly thinks brine mixture, do you cook it up in a big vat. We do, actually, it is 20 percent to salt and 80 percent water and we brew it for lack of a berth term. The it is a layer of solar salt. We put it down. When water evaporates it leaves a residue of salt on the roadway. That is our first line of defense in snowstorms because it prevents the snow from ponding, initially to the highway. Where do you cook that up. All of our stockpiles have a type of facilities that make it and store it. We have got to send a camera and watch the rachel ray recipe or something. Yes. Im sure it doesnt taste good. Dont be drinking it. You can dip soft pretzels in it. Charlie, we will check back with you before 10 00 oclock im sure. Thank you you mike. I have to take a quick break. Do you want to lieutenant on side again. Let take another look it does look like powdered sugar. It does. Dont lick the sidewalks, alex. I know better than to do we are looking at the airport. That means there is a ground stop until 8 30. Ground stop means any flights originating at another airport are not able to leave that airport until at least 8 30. They are basically trying to slow down the incoming traffic, into philadelphia. So for example the flight leaving miami, is not able to leave miami until at least 8 30. So that is going to cause that domino effect. The it will get here late and then depart late. It is just start of the domino effect it will start here now. I dont like that dominoe affect. I with like miami weather. Or people trying to go to the caribbean today. Honey, lets go out to the airport. Were not going yet. This would be perfect day to leave but you cannot leave. Get the bell ready. Here we go. Salem county our winner is carol ann seeholts. Yes. Deep water, salem county new jersey. Yeah, she has typical coating this morning it is still snowing there. Yes. Snow for a few more hours. Here we go. Orlando florida as own lauren johnson. We have decided to send her out on to the street just because we can. I know, tom loudon said i would do this. Earlier this morning at 4 00 i had these on, you know im in heels. How tall do you think these are, alex. Three or four. Four or more. But i was smart. Then i brought these were me. The these are caitlin approved. She said i can go get some boots because would i need them this season. So, listen to this difficult a little will homework. The last year at this time iowas in or land owe florida. Today in orlando, 56 degrees. The last year at this time were you in myrtle beach, 34 degrees. Were both here in philadelphia it is snowing and it is 20 degrees. Do you believe it. I cannot. I noticed an orange scarves on. Im trying to protect the hair because i have to come back inside at some point. This just in students at mastery next door to us are coming over and saying school was canceled. We have to get tom loudon. I dont know if that is true or not. That is not true. Look this way. Here they are, they are going home because is there in school. Let me ask and confirm this. Do you guys have school today. Were not sure. Did you hear that school is canceled. I dont know. Are you going to go check it out and see. I will go with them. They better. It could be a prank.

Where are you quincy. Im at front and girard. It is really cold. What school do you have go to. Do you have school today. School is not canceled for these kid. It is cold. I will let you know what i forgot back at the station it the is freezing. People of the coffee drinking world, dunkin has a dark roast coffee thats deliciously roasted just right for a bold start and smooth finish thats never bitter. Put down the dark roast youve been putting up with and reach for the one you deserve. Mastery Charter School is canceled, class is canceled but in the because of the weather, but because the heating system, is there a issue witt. They dont want the kid to be in there cold and everything. It is 20 degrees out. But it is in the a prank mastery Charter School is canceled today. But sue when i think bit everyone keeps talking about last year. Where we were last year when it comes to snow. Last year we already had as of january 6th, 2014, 20. 2 inches of snow, under our belts, and the seasonal average, alex is 21. 8. We almost had a whole season of snow and it was only early january. In comparison we have had a tenth of an inch of snow so far as much as we could measure not count to go day so what a difference a year makes. Visibility is getting poor out there with this snow falling out there. Keep that in mind traveling around. You have to take your time because of Road Conditions, but, we only have 1. 7 miles visibility at the the airport. Mile and a half in allentown. Reading as well. We will see a mile in lab caster. So this snow is also doing a job on visibility out there. These are your temperatures. 20 degrees, as i said, ten in mount pocono. Eighteen in wrightstown. Twenty in millville. Twentyone in dover. This is what it feels like outside. We have not much of a wind but a lot of the wind chills are in the teens this morning. So keep that in mine. This is the clipper system coming through right now. It is not going to be with us for a long long time but maybe through early afternoon before were finally finished with this and latest computer models are showing spotty snowfall through about lunchtime and then one or 2 00 oclock it gets out of here. You may see some sun shy then the beginning. This is current look at ultimate doppler. It is cold enough for everybody to have only snow no rain at all. It is so so cold. As we look closer we will zoom in right here to Chester County. We will see that light snowfall. It would be a much brighter white on radar if we had heavier snow out there the it is not fall too heavily. Winter weather advisory until 4 00 p. M. For an inch or two of snow, first storm of 2015. So, it is not the worst we could ever getty guess as bob kelly said earlier, it is our practice snowstorm for probably we will get at least one or two before the end of the season. Windy and cold. We will have wind gusts around 30 to 35 miles an hour, again tomorrow, making that degrees feeling like the teens. We will wake up to wind chills below zero on thursday morning.

All of the bridges will kick in with speed restrictions. Same deal up and down that new jersey turnpike. Were looking at 15 minute delays on the trenton line and 20 minute delays on the Lansdale Doylestown line. Mike and alex, back to you. You got it. So quincy, he is basically between Northern Liberty and fishtown frozen fishtown. Frozen fish. Look at him. Front and girard. Let me tell you something i left my gloves. I didnt think i would be outside. I dont have a a hat on. And im freezing. I have shoes on. Okay. And the shoes they are really nice. Yes. It is freezing out here. I need boots. I was than the supposed to be out. I was supposed to be dancing. I found this guy this young gentlemen right here, he actually loves the snow. Sir, is what your name. My name is ronald. You say you love snow. I love the snow. I can drivein this. This is how you drive. You take your time. That is all. You have a big truck over there. I got an escalade. Yes, you said you worked for hahnemann hospital. Yes, all of the snow we used to have years ago, i used to walk to work, yes. You sound cliche in my day eyed to work today. I love it. You know it is national cut will up day who are you cuddling up. I have a woman home named grace, i love you. Grace, nice meeting you sir. You take care. The problem is, the the snow accumulation is really thin. It is the weather. It is so cold outside. It is 30 something degrees. The it feels colder. If you dont have a hat on it feels colder, then 20. So im out here, people people are happy, im so happy to be out here. The cars are having no problems driving in the weather. People are still commuting. How are you doing. Look at the road. Make sure lou at the road. It is just a little slick but people are okay. People are okay. Im freezing guys. Yes. You look cold. Hold on a second here. Across the the street that restaurant across the the street, that was a philadelphia magazines top 50 restaurant. Maybe you can warm up inside there. Okay. Im going to see that right there. And also i think there is a Clothing Store where you can get a good deal right there on the the corner next to the 711th. The the deals not over yet. I need a hat. I need a hat. You do. This might affect you because can you guess where chris murphy is right now. We have four or five reporters out in the freezing weather. Where is chris . He is at a bagel shop, inside. Look at that. Wonder where that is. It is over on walnut between seventh and eighth. Yeah, so we have lauren out there Quincy Jenny Steve all freezing and chris is getting bagels. We better see those bagels. We will take a short break two minutes and we will be right back. Hersheys spreads. Bring the delicious taste of hersheys chocolate to anything everything. With hersheys spreads, the possibilities are delicious. Mike, i got some kid excited. Just there is a ground stop at Philadelphia International airport. Lets get back to the mastery school. Only the lenfess one right next to the fox 29. That is only one closed and it is because they are having heating issues. Other mastery Charter Schools are opened today. Okay. I got some kid excited, it is just the one mastery Charter School. Okay. Or toy break it to you. That is on Fourth Street between market and chestnut only that school. The heating issue is a problem. Doctor mike, how was your drivein. Not bad in. It was not snowing for i get in earl friday glen mills. But just quick reminder because i dont know if we have a shot of quincy up over at front and girard basically that area over there. He doesnt have any gloves on. He has bad shoes. Dress shoes. Dress shoes. This is nothing to screw around with folks because wind chills are down in the teens, right sue. Yes. Right. It is even more of a problem for me because he is my patient. Yes. I will to have deal with quincy, so stop it, put some gloves on. Why . Because depending on the wind chill and the temperature you can get into trouble quickly. We have done this in years in the past where we have taken the hand that are made of jello and put them out there, and they can freeze. You can get serious damage. Remember the guy that was cleaning out the old veterans stadium, for an eagles game and he had no gloves on. He lost fingers. Dont do that, folks. Tomorrow will be really cold too i understand. Yeah. What about his head though, he didnt i have skull cap or a beanie. You lose a lot of heat through your head. Wearing your hat and gloves, and something on your feet so that you dont get frostbite. We see this a lot every single year. The last year was a record. You told me something in the the news room before we came down here is what number one place on your body where you get disease. Your nose. Is that right. She saw some your is va, it is the nose. I dont know about that. I see diseases every where disease like to go where ever. We rarely cover our nose. Are you referring to, can we get a cold in cold weather is that what you are referring to. Yes. There is some theoretical issues that the cold actually decreases blood flow to the nose and you have less white cells getting in there to be able to fight off infection. It is a theoretical thing. Your mother was right. Do we have a nose sweater. Stay out of the cold. Little hat for your nose. Yes. I know were talking about the weather today but just real quickly. The whole country was talking about stewart scott, the sportscaster for espn died after a seven year battle with cancer. What type of cancer it was. We think it was a appendix cancer. Now the the appendix. Never heard of it. It is rare it is not that common but it does occur. There is several types. But it occurs your pen dixon where were watching video right here. It is right down here in the right lower area. If you have a problem you just take it out. That appendicitis and that is how they find it. On times they just find it by accident. But by the time you find it on times it ties late because the symptoms are bloating sometimes it is miss diagnosis as colon cancer. For a lot of people he was owe fit, so healthy he was a mma fighter he work out all the time. The only risk factors for cancer of the appendix is age. Many of the cancers that we find in the appendix are called carcinoma tumors. He was in his late 40sy saw this survey that said 75 percent of all cancers are just bad luck. It is true. I have seen this i hate to say this but pennsylvania patient that takes care of themselves they work out they dont smoke, they eat right kind of food. All it takes is a mutation of one gene that can be bad luck. So what do you do . Everyone is carpe deem. I live on the the gods waiting room, you know, that is where i go every day. The the bottom line is that every single day you have to live it as if it is your last. Suck the life out of every sipping will day. Today. Good to know every year. All right. Yes. Hey good day, it is tuesday, january 6th, 2015. It is snowing outside and it is first snow of 2015. It is making a mess out there we will tell you how much we will get and when it goes away, and what it is doing to the roadways, bob kelly. Good morning, sue. Heres a live look at one of the many accidents we are looking at. This is 202 through Chester County on the southbound side. I talk about the Construction Zone here, this is one of them here. We will check the rest of the roads, plus some problems in mass transit, and in the airport. Steve, out to you. Reporter bob, frustration not only for the drivers thaw are trying to help but frustration for the drivers of the plow trucks, because this is a nuisance kind of snow they cannot even plow because it is no the deep enough just yet. But we were talking to one of the many plow drivers out today, looking with the roads with jennifer joyce, who is driving in this stuff too. Reporter hi, steve well that is right we are driving through west chester. We might have the the most avenue spot on the roadway look at this were following behind the salt truck alex and mike. Okay. We put up a picture a little while ago of chris murphy. He is in the out covering the snow, even though, we need all hand on deck. What he did he got in his car and drove to seventh and walnut over to the new bagel shop over there. That karma it will get you. What happened. He got the a 50dollar ticket. Yes. Stay right there, he would run in, and he got a ticket. Fifty bucks. That is what he did. They start ticketing right around 8 00 oclock this he were quit. My first day on the. They ticket meade right on the street. Out of the corner of my eye. I see the tow truck taking my kara way. I said okay, i got to keep going, keep going. Photographer said didnt they just tow your car. Channel three had a parking lot. I have one right out front here. I had the wrong sticker in the window. Lets get to this weather and traffic. For us, just quincy. Yes. He asked me for a hat yesterday. Do you think he will wear this. He might he is desperate right now. Ill tell what you we will do we will have chris murphy drive it over to him. And park, and then give it to him. Throw it the at him as he drives by. If you are cold enough you will wear any hat. Lets look at our number of the day. It is four out of the ten because of of the messy wet they are morning. It is really cold too. Heres bus stop buddy, proof that it is really coal. You cannot see his little happy smile but he is bundled up nice and warm at the bus stop and that is what you need to be because wind chills are in the teens right now. Winter weather advisory continues until 4 00 p. M. I and that is for one to 2 inches of snow. The first one of the season. It is not, dramatic and as far as the pile up of snow but it is making things slippery out there, this morning. Not only on the roads but the sidewalks, as well, is there Poor Visibility at the airport there with 20 degrees and 27 is all we will manage for a High Temperature today clear up by the evening rush hour overnight and that takes care of tuesday. Bob kelly what a a mess this morning. Were in that situation right now where press i much all of the roads in our viewing area have some snow coverage on them and i would rather have 8 inches of snow then this little pain in the neck kind of stuff. Were getting a lot of little fender benders. Heres a live look at one of them southbound lanes of 202 between chesterbrook and route 29 just as you head in toward the Construction Zone. Heres a live look from the folks down in delaware stepping out right near the christiana mall. So, this is where the shoppers will be delayed this morning. The schuylkill expressway running snow, but notice the road surface here is wet. Penndot has put that brine down last night and it is doing the trick. The the first flakes that fall, that brine is supposed to keep the road surface wet so it does not stick, to the travel lanes. Heres a live lot look at the 42 freeway coming in towards philadelphia fill a international in the ground stop until are not permitted to depart that city until at least 8 30. That will keep that domino effect, delays coming in will result in delays departing philadelphia mike and alex, back over to you. I just got a tweet from michael, he said this is my favorite time of the snow day. The short and sweet, like alex. Short and sweet. Funny, good one. Jenny is out there still in the car, and we have steve, the snow is falling beautifully on your jacket there, your fox 29 jacket. Do you want to start with steve. Yes. Reporter we will finally get some snow flakes out here and that is good news for the guys who remove snow. We have two of the j and b trucks here. One with a 6,000 salt spreader on the 70,000 truck. These guys really invest in this product. So they make some of the money back during these snowstorms but right now, not enough to plow but, vince from the j and v part of the y and v landscaping is with us along with one of his workers, codey baker in the other truck here. So you were outside salting last night. You got something out of this but not enough to you mr. Just yet. Not yet, we live for this stuff in the wintertime. We make our living off of this. Hope for more snow. Reporter if you look the the at ground now you can see where salties. Were melting this stuff. You really to have wait. Is what minimum you can start plowing this stuff. Would i wait until it is half inch to a in. The salt was put down. It is safe for people to company many in and gives you a start. People driving on Germantown Pike and they see it cover. They see why isnt anybody plowing that stuff. Witt will all turn in the sheet of ice. Reporter you are only 19. You have been doing this for a while. How frustrating that you cannot do it, it might not even snow that much today. Not making any money right now, im just standing around waiting for him to tell me where to go. Reporter these people will need salt at the very least. Correct. Reporter stay awake. Vince breaking out a little bit of sleep but a lot of guys been up all night and salting and waiting so waiting game begins for them. Frustration in the only for us regular drivers but even for the plow drivers because they cannot do inch until it snows more. If it doesnt snow more real frustration starts to set in, guys. That is for sure. Thanks, steve. Somebody said tell quincy you can get gloves and hats at that 7eleven. That is true. Right behind them. I got gloves there once. Jenny, we will go to jenny. I think so. Where are you right now in our roving vehicle. Reporter mike and alex, we are on route 30 eastbound in frazier. We have just got off of route 202, so you can take a look we have seeing lots of red, and red light out here. Traffic is definitely moving slowly. It is one of those things where you have to take it slowly, because it is slick outside here. We were slipping and sliding a little bit in front of those situations where the light was changing going from yellow to red pretty quickly and we had no choice but to go through because it is wet and like steve was saying the plows, it is just kind of thawn comfortable situation where we dont have enough snow to be out full force with the plow trucks. So luckily we were following behind that salt truck a little while ago but you have to be careful. While we are nice warm and coast any our truck i have to tell you we have been in this truck since 3 00 in the morning. So we are trying our best to stay comfortable in that he is seats. The every now and again we are pulling over and stretching our legs because we have been in here for a while now. You know, jenny, it is cuddle day, maybe you should just cuddle.

It does not take much to make a west. Leave a lot of distance between you and the car in front of you. Bob kelly has been saying it all morning. It goodies advice anytime but especially in bad weather. You can see the snow has spread through pretty much the entire region. And we have had bus stop buddy ready for those flakes because he is all bundled up this morning. Wind chills are only in the teens. In many case is, actual temperatures, are in the teens, and your weather by the the numbers we have a four out of ten today because of the messy morning and Winter Weather advisory continuing. It continues until 4 00 p. M. I think snow will be tapered off by then but just in case we only expect a inch or two. Do you sees how lightly it is falling. We have a coating in many places. But our big problem this morning, has been there we go, it is visibility. It is in the great. You can see thinks the airport, and you cannot see very much. It is only 19 degrees, we only expect to get to 27. We will get a little bit of sunshine right before the the end of the day but it will be a cold one even after the the snow end. 8 32. I believe we will take a shot of the roof cam. We will not be able to do that. Lets go to the roof camera. Mike just tried running out front, to catch the guy that had a bag of food.

That means all flights destined from other cities, coming to philadelphia, were not able to depart in the 8 30. So expect delays throughout the the rest of the morning, at philly international. Heres a live look at jam cam, thinks the 30 bypass leaving downingtown, heading in towards king of prussia of course, stuck in a lot of the traffic jams this morning are septa buses. We want to bring in from septa headquarters our own heather redfern. Heather, are you with us. Good morning, bob. I know we had delays on the Regional Rail lines and situation with the subways. Subways are good. Market frankford line is good. We are running trains on the market frankford lines and they are making all stops. Just to get people out of the redder and get them on the trains faster. We had Regional Rail issues this morning. I have good news. Trenton line delays were cleared up. There was aism track signal problems. Those are running honor close to schedule. We have 15 minutes delays on the Lansdale Doylestown line and outbound Paoli Thorndale up to 20 minutes.

We dont have wind or snow flakes. We have ice pellets. We have progress though. Because Germantown Pike which was covered, now you can see finally some blacktop on the side that is heading toward the turnpike the the busier side. They have really salted that with a few runs, and it really make a difference. You can see the difference between the way going towards the turnpike and away from it, where it has not been salted as much, and this road was covered and coated all morning long. Until about ten minutes ago. So, good news. You can see its headlights and wipers today. That will help with the visibility. Meaning it will make you more visible to people as well, so, were seeing some people without headlights on because you dont want to give anybody an idea that the a car was coming out of the blinding snowstorm but when it is not real sunny out and it is kind of a gray day, there is a guy without headlights to give you an idea going towards the turnpike.

Id just felt this way for too long. So i finally talked to my doctor about my symptoms. Id tried laxatives before. He prescribed Amitiza Lubiprostone for my chronic constipation. It works differently than laxatives. Man amitiza is clinically shown to help relieve common symptoms like bloating abdominal discomfort hard stools, and straining and help people with chronic constipation go more often. Dont take amitiza, if you have a bowel blockage or severe diarrhea. Tell your doctor, if your nausea or diarrhea, becomes severe, or if you experience chest tightness or shortness of breath. The most common side effects are nausea diarrhea, and headache. Woman amitiza helped me find relief from my chronic constipation. Ask your doctor if amitiza is right for you. Can you see her.
