Good morning, definitely more of nuisance system than nipping. But the timing here pretty much the least ideal it could be since everything is essentially on the ground, as were waking up here. And hitting the roadways. And what ill say at least from my own personal drove in this morning is that it certainly is treacherous, but specially on the untreated surfaces, the back roads, the neighborhood streets, so expect that it will definitely be little slick, Winter Weather advisory we spoke of at this point, not including southeastern pennsylvania, any more, it is really just new jersey central and southern at this point, as we look at the view on storm scan3, because were starting to see the snow begin to move on out. So the back edge of this is visible, and as we had anticipated over the next hour or two, pretty much long gone. Thats helpful. Not dealing with additionally reduced visibility or additional snow falling as youre traveling. For a loft you whats out there right now what you will get out of the storm system. So if theyve already had the chance to clear it or road crews were out and did their work on prepping the surface, it may not be horrible, but i still need you to be careful. Thirty the current temperature at Philadelphia International airport. Into the 20s pretty much everywhere else, outlying suburbs, much colder in the poconos as is typical. But because it is still so cold, still cold enough obviously it can support this snow to stick and hang on. It is not like it will melt away here today. Thirtysix at best for our daytime high, skies begin to clear in the city. Clouds at the shore as well as in the mountains, so again, at least initially may be left over snow shower out there. But coming up, there is a possibility that some of us see even more snow this weekend, meisha. So that will be something you want to stay tuned for, my full forecast later on. I was going to ask you, if you think the worse of it has come down for the morning commute . I would say so, except for southeast new jersey still finding more. Silver lining, sounds good. I can tell you right now already had a loft issues out on the roadways in particular on 95. So as you are waking up this morning i think the highlight that we will be stressing all morning is dont even think about driving at posted speeds. It is very, very dangerous, if you choose to do so. So, this is 95 south, between academy road and cottman, all lanes are still blocked. Just minutes ago, we just saw jackknife tractortrailer just being hauled out of here. See the crews still out there cleaning up where the jackknife tractortrailer was. Again all of the lanes are blocks you will have to use alternate, frandford or the boulevard probably your best bet until all of this gets a, cleaned up, crews get out of the way, and probably salted, as well, again, 59 south the one area where we do not want that to happen. It is out there, so if you can avoid interstate 95 south between academy and cottman, you want to do so. You can see how slick it is out there. Katie pointed out, those back streets, side streets untreated, those bridge, under the bridge decks, theyll be very very slippery this morning. Also, another accident 95 north at betsy ross bridge. The left lane common denominate or this morning, so far, interstate 95, looks to be one of the more slippery spots, and one of the busiest, jim, over to you. Thank you, meisha. Here is a list of School Closings and delays this is the tristate region, Childhood Development center in delaware will open 1. 5 hours late, Newman University will open one hour late, and temple bet hillel no a. M. Care. Check cbs local apps for School Closings. If you are just waking up yes it is snowing. Depending on where you live you may see couple of thins morning, so lets get right out to meteorologist, lauren kacie, live in column inning wood, new jersey, so whats it look like out there . Reporter still have some flurries coming down. Certainly not those big huge flakes we saw falling throughout the overnight period. I would say there is about an inch on the ground right now on the sidewalk. It is very slick. I just went to put my phone on the ledge, almost left and i have my boots on, so sidewalks will be very slippery. The roadways look pretty wet right now. They are treated. But definitely some slick spots, and specially as katie was telling you, those untreated surfaces are going to be very slick, throughout the next couple of hours, those temperatures are below freezing, what to expect for your morning commute, yes, it will be tough one. Good news though the snow is winding down, so we likely wont have falling snow across much of the area, delaware alley, for our morning commute. Still could see light snow across portions of south jersey, some flurries around, really over the next couple of hours. But the snow has come, it has laid down on the grounds, again, especially in those untreated areas, so definitely want to watch out for some slick spots, as we head into your morning commute. I see, again, about inch here, right now, but it is very slippery, want to use caution specially if you are walking, biking or driving this morning. And, we have a cold temperatures. That will take us all throughout the day, and ill have more on that coming up in just a little bit. Thanks so much, lauren. That first step out the door can often be the trickiest. I saw car go through red light this morning. And it was slowing down but it could stop. Exactly. Thank you, lauren. Now is a good time to download the cbs philly weather app so you can stay ahead of the storm, see katies full forecast, hourly temperatures, interactive radar, available for apple and Android Devices just serve for cbs fill any your app storm. Certainly is mixed bag out there depending where you are. Some people seeing more snow out their windows than others. Trang do, live at mayfair, with the latest there, good morning, trang. Reporter well, good morning, jim, jan, yes, the snow very light at this point, in fact, unless youre outside, just looking outside your window, really couldnt tell that it is still snowing out here, but, once you take a look at the cars, thats when you know that there was definitely some activity overnight. And so just ran into donna here, who is so kinds as to allow me to help her clean off her car this morning, so, donna, what do you think so far when you woke up and saw this . Winter is here. You. Said you were this is kind of unexpected for you . I was expecting like a dusting, but the sidewalk is deceiving. Yes, sure is. Like when you look at the sidewalk, as lauren mentioned, you see about an inch or so of snow. But when you look on the cars, there are about two, 3 inches of accumulation here. This is a side street, just off frankford avenue. You can see that the snow is definitely sticking to the side streets. Major street like frankford avenue, roosevelt boulevard, the citys really took good care of those. Weve been all over the city. We went to center city, went to south philly now here in mayfair. And over the course of the hour, really have seen Road Conditions definitely improving here, wills good news for people like donna, who have to head on over to work. Donna, how far is your commute . West philadelphia, i work at penn presbyterian hospital. Wow, you have a bit after ways. How will you get there . Ill drive down to the septa train, go from there. I think thats probably smart. Im not driving all the way. Donna and i, definitely not a snow person, sounds like. Great for people getting up and getting ready to go to work, Road Conditions are improving. That was not the case earlier this morning, overnight. Take a look, as meisha mentioned, there was pretty significant accident on i95 north. Jackknife tractortrailer. Just little bit before that, also, another accident, just on the other side, southbound 95, by the the cottman avenue exit. Number of cars actually our producer told me on the way in that he had seen at least six cars involved with that, on our way up here we saw at least one car still left to be towed. But yes, definitely not that bad. Specially for somebody who just likes snow such as myself. But i send it back to you guys in the studio. We just need to remember to slow down, because we havent driven in this type of precipitation in a while. It is slick throughout. Yes. Thanks, tray. Trang.

Kids bought me new waffle maker for christmas, i really want to use it now. Is it the belgium waffle . It is indeed. Super fancy one. Katie bridges that in is. I only cook in here for blizzards. Well, thankfully thats not what we are dealing with. Good. Yes, you know, more every major nuisance than major storm were contends withing out here guys. Still watching the snowfall down in portions of the area. But really is pulling away. You can see, just really did end upcoming through according to projected plan. It is still moving out to sea granted but at this point the bulk of moisture out to sea, essentially seen the bulk of the precipitation that we will find from this. It was straight up snow for everyone, no mixing, no rain, no nothing, just snow. Now, we got to talk about this next big thing, which is looking like it may ends up having some sort of impact on our shore points after all. There is a storm system thats starting to brew over the state of oklahoma, arkansas, snow streaking out as this begins to show the first signs of actually forming into a full blown storm system. This is generally going to be cutting across the southeast. But the way it turns to the northeast, it looks right now like it may ends up after all just flipping some of these counties. So, winter storm watch is going into effect late tonight, into tomorrow afternoon, for ocean county, southeast burlington, atlantic, cape may, then down to sussex count any delaware. Point north and west of that, youre basically not having to worry about anything. But if you look at some of the most robust modeling it, even tries to bring hint of snow as close as the delaware river. I cant say im sold on, that but let me walk you through one of the future weather models. System one, pushing away as late as 6 00, 7 00 a. M. , absolutely will end up with sunshine here the rest of the day. Little clean to up do as well. Take a look what happens early tomorrow morning. Cloud thicken. 5 00, 6 00 a. M. , some of the snow may just clip you, in cape may, sussex county, then out towards some of the immediate shore points. So again, this is one of the less robust models were looking at, but the most robust models bring this in relatively far inland, with the possibility that we even see several inches of snow. This is still a changeable forecast, and i really want you to stick with us, even though relatively close in terms of when it would get here, it could still really throw us a curve ball. So many, with that said, down the shore, winter storm watch we showed you tonight into tomorrow afternoon, storm will be really hugging the coast, so, it is possible some see up to 4 inches out of this. Saturday, slow trample, almost guarantee, if you have any snow to deal with. Tonight expect partly sunny, cold. Drop down to later on tonight, just 20 degrees. And that chill continues to be the main overriding headline of this forecast, at this point, i dont anticipate we will even hit 30. Sunday let alone machine day with colder air working its way in, but big surge comes along next mid week, meisha . Of course we know even just little bit of snow can really impact our commute. Thats already what were seeing this morning, so good morning, everyone, happy friday. I can tell you we are in for it today. You are going have to take it very, very slow. Dont even think about posted speeds. This is a look at interstate 95. Southbound, between academy road, cottman, where we had a jackknife tractortrailer, now, that has since been moved out of the way. What you can see, crews are still out there getting all of this cleaned up. Probably laying some salt as well for you. But because of that, all lanes are blocked right now. On interstate 95, again, between academy road and cottman. You will have to use alternate, probably frankford or the boulevard, probably your best bet, until all of these guys get pushed out of the way and move on until then it is going to cause some significant backups. Even starting now, just because, a lot of people will be getting a jump start to the day. Heads up on that. Also, the vine, it is closed overnight. Westbound and eastbound. Even though we have the snow coming down, it is cold, crews were out there closing down the vine, westbound, eastbound, like i said, still closed. Plus, we have an accident. Not the first one of the morning. In jersey 295 northbound route 130, thats now been moved all the way out to the shoulder. Plus weaver a lot of speed restrictions in play. No doubt about it, i can tell you, 45 miles per hour, thats probably even still going to be a little bit too quick. So overall, just take it very, very slow this morning. Jan, over to you. Meisha, thank you. Weve got little snow this morning, but the specific northwest is supposed to get whole lot more. Well, it is good news for one family in oregon. Kristin shows us project taking snow architecture to a new level. Sorry frosty. Were pretty sure there is no topping this winter work of art. It was a midnight decision for everybody who is still awake to kind of go play in the snow the night that it got really thick. Snowballs turned into snow bricks and snow bricks became an igloo, of course. Something sturdy, stable, we could all hang out for for a couple of days. And now, there is no stopping with each player the determination finish, and thankfully the support does, too. And as you can see, it is kind of a community effort. Were having snow dropped off from the street, across the street. This is so awesome. As the old saying goes, many hands might light work, so i can capture the fun, i had to get in on it. Yahoo, sweet. Im making a igloo. There you go. The to will get a roof on it, soon, before warmer weather returns. But they say the time spent with loved ones will make even short stint inside worth every hour of work. Amazing, because we dont usually get this much snow. So basically just a great experience. You get to see how much of a group effort it is and how much your friends and family come together to actually work on one big project. And that was kristin reporting, whats that saying, when life gives you lemons . Make lemonade, when life gives you snow, make an igloo. Absolutely. I think meisha lived in one when she lived out in minnisota well, snow affecting most of the northeast today. And while we receive some over the last several hours, our friends up north have it worse. Take a look at this, this is a scene in upstate new york, where some school buses got stuck in the snow with children on board. Just how many were inside, we will tell you, coming up next. Upstate new york, 2 feet fell during lake erie, buffalo 22 inches of snow thursday, people north of syracuse saw 20 inches. Forecasters say lake effect storms could dump another foot or two. Snow by the weekend. The snow . Buffalo even stranded school because cents buses last night, delayed picking i am kids from school to go home. The kids had to stay late. Traffic at a stands still in many places in the area around buffalo. Well, time now 4 24. Katie is here again with another check on our forecast. Katie, we are getting our own snowfall here. Nothing like that . No way. Yes, big fat nuisance, absolutely. Plowable snow, not necessarily. You know, actually seeing in some instances it is not enough snow for the plows to even come through. So were kind of just stick with this as a nuisance, and sometimes i think meisha would agree with me these could be the worse storms when it comes to travel because schools arent necessarily shutting down. There will still be people on the roads because you wont have that natural barricade of snowfall that keeps you from getting out. And in addition to that, we can get overly confident in these kind of systems, traveling through what may be treacherous, just because we know it is not as much accumulation. So please keep that in mind when you go out this morning, hopefully youre tuning in with us this morning, you have the for thought to set the alarm little extra early. Talk about snow and the we have currently seen so far. In perkasie, at two and a half inches, naught florence, just over two, as is cherry hill. Mt. Holly National Weather Service Regional headquarters located an even inch, here in philadelphia, just shy of that. So, were pretty much verifying with the forecast that we had predicted out of this, still watching storm scan3, making its retreat is this little disturbance, that again, came with less than ideal timingment although, as i pointed out that out on twitter yesterday, somebody said whats ideal timing for snow system . You know what . Thats staged right there. Thats very mart. Regardless, were dealing with it, no matter the time of day. 30 degrees, the temperature at Philadelphia International airport. Twentysix from allentown, back to lancaster, as we quickly check on the eyewitness weather seven day forecast, folks, about to start a stretch of days that do not even hit the freezing mark, so, the snow is out there, meisha, and not going to have a chance to even melt away, because it is just that cold. Yes, you know, weve got speed restrictions in play, even the speed restrictions, even seem too fast because of how slippery it is out there. On and off ramps, were hearing word specially new jersey right now they are very, very slick. So if you do not have all wheel drive, you are going to have to take it incredibly slow this morning. It will slow your commute down. Leave your homes real early. We did have jackknife tractortrailer, 995 south, between academy and cottman, all lanes blocked. You can see crews out there, the tractortrailer now gone. How much, they are salting the roads, getting this all cleaned up for you. So because of, that you have to use alternate, frandford and the boulevard, probably your best bet until the crews move out of your way. One area we really dont want to see this is 95, and theyre out there, will start to pull you down about now. Also, do have an accident in new jersey 295 at route 130, accident pulled off to the shoulder. We have some salting, salt g today by the way is our friend. A. C. Expressway between Ac Convention Center and route 42, we have salting in place basically that entire stretch. Heads up when you see them. Give them friendly nod. Like i say theyre our friend today. New jersey turnpike, delaware memorial polls and 295, come down to 45 miles per hour, i would take it slower than that, also, delaware memorial bridge, also down to 35 miles per hour, jim, jan, back to you. Thank you, meisha. Our continuing coverage of this mornings snowstorm continues. Thats right. Take a look at this. This was the scene on brad i can road in williamstown, new jersey, one of our directors drove in just little while ago. Checking the forecast with katie and the roads again with meisha.
