The lanes are mostly wet but theyre slippery enough that people are really needing to slow down and as we look at the big picture, you get a sense of all the red and all the single digit speeds around the region. It really is nasty. We had an overturned vehicle on the southbound northeast extension near quakertown. Looks like thats now off to the side so just starting to improve there with speeds in the 30s and in south jersey our travel times, a little better than it was earlier but still a really slow pace on the southbound side of 42.

Trenton 23. Reading 22 and the north and west suburbs, temperatures will be dropping down into the teens tonight. So, do be careful with icy spots on the roads even after the snow ends. So, this is what to expect tonight. That snow will that continue clearing from the

After a wild and crazy afternoon and evening during rush hour, a number of Traffic Signals north of city hall are back in service tonight.
