Some side streets mights be icy and even in places where you salted last night you might find that the impact of the ice was so significant that you still have a freezeup. Icy sidewalks and icy windshields combine to make it not a great morning walk for the kids to the bus stop. 31 degrees by 6 00 a. M. , 32 by 8 00 a. M. So the ice probably doesnt break up much between that time period and i mentioned icy windshields because sometimes people just make a little hole and they try and drive like that makes it harder to see kids entering and exiting the streets. Satellite shows you theres some cloud cover out there but it is breaking up and we expect a fair amount of sunshine overall today. 29 degrees right now in philadelphia, though, below freezing. Winds out of the southwest at 8 miles per hour. And here are your numbers across the region. Obviously anybody who saw freezing rain halfway up Camden County salem county Burlington County and points north still have the ice on the ground an
At times. Its doing so right now. I showed you a shot a minute ago and police hadnt arrived on the accident scene yet. They were kind of stuck in the traffic there in the backlog but we can see now police, several police officers, emergency workers all responding to the scene. It looks to be at least three vehicles as i look at this. A few vehicles here and im not sure if thats one or two cause its kind of dark right there. We can see theyre currently blocking all lanes on the schuylkill westbound as emergency workers come to the scene to deal with this. This is westbound schuylkill at University Avenue. Our breaking news. A big accident involving several vehicles blocking all lanes and now we see emergency workers at the scene, some of them still in the backlog here trying to get there. Looks like we have an ambulance here as well trying to deal with this scene blocking all lanes on the schuylkill westbound at university. Traffic at a standstill. Were seeing speeds crawl along on the
We have a big accident at university avenue. I showed you this shot earlier. We had westbound completely blocked, eastbound almost completely blocked with this accident. Its a different scene now. We can see theyve pushed most of the vehicles off to the side. It was a multivehicle accident as chopper pans back you see what a tough morning commute it is. This delay stretches for miles and youre not expecting this kind of delay westbound headed towards University City coming off of the walt whitman bridge. Traffic is barely moving because of that accident. The good news is the accident that was blocking all lanes for awhile is off to the side now and eastbound traffic is also getting by so youre stuck in the traffic now but theres light at the end of the tunnel there because theyre allowing it to move at the scene. Lets switch to our Traffic Cameras and you get a different sense of whats happening here. So, heres that jammed traffic on the schuylkill westbound at university. Emergency wo
Here. As we take a look at the weather sent you have cloud cover out there obviously and you can see the movement of that snow overnight and now its pushing right into philadelphia. It was raining here for awhile but weve seen that change over to snow and storm tracker6 live double scan gives you an even better look at that. You can see that the dry slots that karen mentioned are beginning to push in and be a little bit of a issue or well a nonissue if you will up in northern Montgomery County northern bucks county now has transitioned to that break in the snow but we still have north and west some brighter banding there which is one last little pop of heavier snow that will probably pop through allentown and reading before too much longer. Ill go in closer there and these are the areas where youve gotten most of the snow overnight. Theres probably at least a couple of inches on the ground in most of these areas. The only report i have recent is from North Catasauqua north of allentown
