Preview for what will be a messy weekend. So get ready. And then this is probably making drivers happen think morning heavily traveled bridge is now opened for the first time in more than a month. We will give you details on that. Do you want to think of spring . Lets think of spring. Live look inside Philadelphia Convention center where thousands of flowers are on display for the flower show, it is opening up this weekend and we have a sneak peak for you. And weapons for wentz. Eagles way in time addressing their biggest need in free agency, now question is, did they make the right choice . Good day, it is friday, march 10th, 2017. And yes, were getting ready for more snow throughout the area but we are exited to talk eagles because we have got deals yesterday i think but we will see. They say this is the year. Hi. How are you. Sorry. It takes me 20 minutes to get from upstairs to downstairs. Looking lovely in green. Looking nice as well. So scott what is going on with the snow. We have a Winter Weather advisory can you believe it, yesterday high temperatures in the upper 60s. Look at behind me toward Lehigh Valley, allentown we are watching some of the snow that has begun. Temperatures in philadelphia 43 degrees. Wind north at 10, it feels like 37 degrees right now when we factor in that wind. Look at the purple Winter Weather advisory until 2 00 for philadelphia area, Delaware County, Chester County, camden county, burlington and ocean county and then north and west toward Lehigh Valley until one, until noon for the poconos. So we are looking at that light snow, for north and western, berks county, reading , allentown moving toward pocono mountains maybe a sprinkle or flake as we move toward philadelphia, and wilmington but the bottom line is now through about 7 00 we are watching that snow moving from the north and west, the steady, it is seven to 11 00 and then early afternoon it tapers but we could still have lingering snow squals. As we go hour by hour by 7 00 it moves toward trenton, philadelphia, wilmington, south jersey 8 00 oclock, down the shore nine or 10 00 oclock and at 11 00 we have widespread snow. By the afternoon were still talking about those snow squals. An inch or two in philadelphia , before all is said and done, Higher Elevations north and west, were talking one to 3 inches and then poconos over 3 inches of snowfall today, bob kelly, how are road. In the bad right now, scottie but it will depend upon where you begin and end and it it is one of those yuck y pain in the nick rush hours. Heres live look at route 29 in Chester County just off of route 202, flake here or there we have got Fire Department activity, responding to an alarm just off of the boulevard here at fox street, headlights south on the boulevard down toward the schuylkill, normal delays this morning but again as we move into that 7 00 oclock hour and rest of the rush hour it is Road Conditions that can change. Baltimore pike which is route one, south of 202 heading in to chad forward, down wires from an Early Morning accident , route 926 is your best bet. Also a fire location over here in new jersey route 47 delsea drive right at kohls mill road and we found flakes in the Lehigh Valley, this is just south of the Lehigh Valley tunnel. So, it is on the way, and promise, here you go, you can see the snow stick to go that grassy surface but it will make a mess for Road Conditions, this morning. Alex and thomas back over to you. Bob, when you talk about that it is hard to believe spring just days days away but winter it not done. Sixtys yesterday, today, scott as you mentioned snow, rain expected this morning. Jenny joyce im sure you are like old man winter, my good ness, how quickly it changes. Last time i saw you nothing was going on. Reporter i know, how about that, thomas and alex. Is this what i wanted to see jenny joyce in the snow again. Kind of. Reporter yeah, just for old time sake, you know, we drove about 20 miles and we drove into this, the snow is falling here, we are live at the Lehigh Valley plaza, toll plaza here, you can see the cars coming by, nothing is sticking to the roadways just yet. We do know that the snow will be sticking more so to the grassy surfaces but even grass areas off to the side here of this toll plaza, nothing so far. We just got up here a few minutes prior to the live shot so it is unclear how long it has been snowing for, but this is the storm system that is moving closer to philadelphia, as the morning goes on, and we are expecting, one to 3 inches here northwest of the city, and less than that in philadelphia and even less in south jersey. But, again as the morning goes on this system is, heading east for a couple inches of snowfall. Alex and thomas. Look at it, really starting to come down now. Lets hepp it is a quick one stay warm. 6 06. Commuting nightmare is over for thousands of drivers. Delaware river bridge is back opened after being closed for nearly two months. Our steve keeley hopefully he has orange jacket on directing traffic this morning, hi there , steve. Reporter yeah, no problems with directing traffic, flowing smoothly for First Time Since january 20th, and the day that this bridge abruptly closed but now with the sun coming up, the brighter then sunshine here i 276e, pennsylvania turnpike bridge to new jersey is now opened for all these commuters who are delight that had they are not taking that longer detour, some 45 minutes, out of their way, adding to the commute to and from every day. Were talking about 42,000 people, who use this. So how did they open it up earl i well, warm weather, cooperated, helping fix the problem and also helping study the problem, which they never got an answer too. They have no idea why they found that crack, in the first place, why they were painting this. So if they dont know what caused the crack, why is it safe to reopen . Because they tested it. Look at the video before they reopened it just before 10 00 this they weighed down their biggest snowplow trucks and normally where they have salt in the back they have put heavy steel in the back just to see how bridge would react. They open it upe bound and westbound by 10 30 and got it going. Hopefully everybody has confidence driving over this bridge. They wouldnt reopen it if it wasnt safe, obviously what they did was installed sensors to keep tabs on to it make sure it doesnt crack again and if it does they will noah lot faster then waiting for a painter to come over. By the way, jenny joyce, you saw how quickly her shot changed. Look at us, we have got the first flurries over here as well. In new jersey. Those are some big flakes. I hope that is not a trooper behind you about to issue a ticket for littering my friend im sure he will pick it up. Every single piece.
