My phone was buzzing because its sleeting in parts of our area. Also a lot of tweets coming in from various people saying twohour delay here and there so make sure you go to 6abc. Com for the complete list. Right now cloud cover getting thicker and here comes that precipitation. Im just going to walk right along with it. You can see how its rain to the south but we do have that mixed precipitation in and around about half of the region right now as this continues to push toward the north. We have some snowflakes in philadelphia and then just below that a big band of blue and thats where weve got the snow mixing with freezing rain and sleet. And there could be a little iciness developing on some roads down in and around there so you really want to be careful and that blue is very close to overtaking philadelphia. Farther to the north there is some increasing snowfall now parts of berks county beginning to pick up that stuff that was out in harrisburg earlier and those brighter shades of white indicate the accumulating snow. That is beginning to push into berks county. As we take a look at the various advisories and the warning, the warning still in effect for the poconos all the way into this afternoon and probably into the early evening and as expected an advisory has been extended from lancaster now all the way across the bulk of the lehigh and delaware valleys and even down into the parts of south jersey from Mercer County all the way down to salem county, New Castle County delaware as well. These counties are probably going to be removed from the advisory from south to north as we go through the morning gradually so the farther north you are, the longer youre probably going to have to deal with this frozen precipitation before a changeover to rain later. 32 degrees right now in philadelphia. 31 in wilmington. These obviously are just cold enough numbers to be able to support some freezeup on the roads. A little cooper up in allentown and as we go through the day, the freezing conditions at the surface in philadelphia probably end around 8 oclock and i would think roads improve shortly after that but as long as you got the frozen precip, do be careful. The rest of the day though is all rain with temperatures getting well into the 40s. Karen ill track the precipitation and that change from rain or over to rain i should say from south to north with future tracker6 coming up. All right, dave. We have no problems with the weather here on the boulevard extension northbound but we had two big accidents here earlier, one northbound near ridge avenue, one here near wissahickon. They have both since cleared. As the ice continues to push its way closer towards center city well be watching for this. At this point the vine street expressway looking good. Ben franklin parkway open at this point but we expect the inner drives to be shut down by 10 oclock again this morning getting ready for the big parade. Right now we see people moving okay. See some trucks kind of pulling up and weve seen salt trucks move through. In fact weve got an accident east brandywine township here involving a penndot salt truck right on creek road at Seven Springs lane. This is new coming in to us to Chester County. Looks like this penndot vehicle struck an abandoned vehicle out here that caused problems so be careful there and certainly give these crews a lot of space to work. We had an accident here and that is clear now on allandale drive at Ogletown Stanton road. This one in New Castle County where that precipitation had first started to come down and another one here on the Commodore Barry bridge eastbound that just cleared as well. As we look live in new jersey, not seeing anyone slip or slide. Weve been watching a lot of crews kind of off to the side getting ready to salt as needed and we see thats just beginning for parts of the area now matt and tam. Thank you, karen. Lets head up to the Lehigh Valley, action News ReporterTrish Hartman is live in Whitehall TownshipLehigh County where we could see the most snow from this system. Trish. Reporter good morning, matt and we are finally starting to see some precipitation here this morning just started within the past half hour or so were here in Whitehall Township just along macarthur boulevard and again, weve just started to see this precipitation falling, so things are still moving along right now. But again, its very cold up here, so the fear is that things could freeze over very quickly as this system moves in and because of that, schools are starting to close in our area. We heard david talking about that earlier. Here in the Lehigh ValleyWhitehall Copley schools allentown Public Schools bethlehem area schools closed today. Theres also several School Districts in bucks county and were hearing about several two hour delays as well so check 6abc. Com. There is salt on the roads, sidewalks, parking lots up here. While the Lehigh Valley is expected to see the worst of this, we did find penndot crews working in the city to prep roads ahead of this storm, brining trucks on the schuylkill expressway near vine street very early this morning so, again, sleet and snow starting to move in here could affect visibility and travel this morning and could make things very slick on the roads as it changes over to ice. So, if you are headed to work this morning, make sure you want to leave a little bit of extra time. Were live in Lehigh County, Trish Hartman channel6 action news. Thanks so much trish. Lets head out to mobile6, see what were seeing on the roads out there. A little windshield action. Were in wilmington, delaware, along i95 and that is really where the system started to bring some of this wintry mix into the area from the south to the north. Kind of hard to see with those windshield wipers going on mobile6. And now were going on to talk about the super bowl parade and we want to tell you about something that is causing a little frustration and concern for a lot of people out there. If you get on the market frankford or the broad street line, those rides are free tomorrow to get down to the parade but if you are going to take Regional Rail, you needed to get a special pass. Lets take you to our action cam which is out at the Paoli Station where people were in line as you can see very early this morning trying to get ahold of one of these 50,000 passes that were printed being told that that station is out of them. I just tweeted out a story that said at lansdale they sold out at 3 oclock in the afternoon yesterday many people are telling us theyre going from station to station trying to find these passes and having no luck. So, this is going to be one of the Big Questions for the city and the region to answer for a lot of people who are not center city, somewhere where its walkable and they can get themselves to the parade you dont have a hotel room along the route, what are you to do if Regional Rail is not an option . So, well continue to focus on that question for you but we also want to go on over to action News ReporterJeanette Reyes. Shes live at the art museum with even more on what you need to know if youre planning to be in the thick of it because, jeanette, its really something you better plan ahead. Reporter yeah, you really should if you at least want it to be a relatively good experience in terms of getting down here. Its difficult to answer whats going to happen in terms of transportation. You mentioned there are a lot of those stations selling out of those one day passes but planning ahead and getting out as early as you can is probably the best advice i can give you. A few minutes ago we started seeing sleet coming down and crews that will be coming out this morning really in the next couple of hours to continue setting up will have to deal with those conditions but they did get a head start a couple days ago. Theres still much more work to do for the big party tomorrow. With less than 36 hours to go, the mill dollar question isnt if some are going to the parade but how to get there. Septa says rides on the market frankford lines and the broad street lines will be free all day. Trains will run every five to seven minutes but its the Regional Rails that many are talking about. Riders will need a special one day pass if youre not already a regular pass holder. Only 50,000 are being sold. Riders lined up at the station in paoli to get them. At 69th street station, people were finding them hard to come by. I got five of these one day passes for the Regional Rails. Theyre 10 each. Reporter was it hard getting them. Yeah, because they only have a limited amount. Yes, im going to the parade, me and my cousin. Reporter yeah. How are you going to get there. We well, she got a car. We going to drive in her car. Reporter youre going to drive. Were going to drive as close as we can get. Reporter all Regional Rails will be only inbound to center city before the parade. Outbound trains wont run until the event wraps up. Still, for fans who have waited a lifetime for this championship, theyll prove that where theres a will, theres a way. I cant make it there right on time but ill be there right after work. Reporter how are you going to get there . Somehow, somehow. [laughter] reporter and were still working to get some answers as far as what other alternatives people have. Taking Public Transportation still is highly encouraged, strongly encouraged if you find that you have to drive, again, give yourself some extra time because you dont want to be stuck in traffic for this event that people have been waiting on for decades. That would not be a good story to tell. Reporting live at the museum of art, jen net Jeanette Reyes channel6 action news. Thank you jeanette. Theres no option of septa for fans coming from berks county so many folks are hoping to take a charter but kline transportation says due to overwhelming demand, it has already sold out its seven round trip buses and cannot accept any more passengers on the wait list. Another option may be kutztown based fever which is adding to its regularly scheduled route 303 and 306 buses. Action news will have Live Team Coverage of the championship parade starting at 9 00 tomorrow morning. You can also watch us as we head down to the parade. We will be streaming live on 6abc. Com. Its a lot of schools on a delay this morning worried about things being very icy out there. Tweet coming from oxford pennsylvania way down there on route one, talking about wintry mix there. Tweet from south philadelphia saying freezing rain now and as you take a look at Storm Tracker6 live double scan thats exactly what were seeing on the radar. We do have that frozen precipitation moving in. Im going to start you out a little bit farther north where its so cold that we still have snow. Trish hartman action News Reporter on the scene up in Whitehall Township reporting some of those first light snowflakes but its not going to be long before trish sees some of this heavier stuff coming in. When you start getting that white banding on Storm Tracker that is the accumulating snow and we do expect probably a few inches close to allentown later on. Down in norristown we also are picking up snowflakes. You can see that movement out of the southeast and then of course in philadelphia weve got some snow but maybe some changeover to freezing rain occurring right now and if it isnt right where you are, it will be shortly. Thats south philadelphia starting to pick up some of that change. Wilmington also picking up some of this and the farther you go through south jersey the better chance you have of seeing all of that mixed precipitation and again this blue is a mix of wet snow, freezing rain, maybe some sleet mixed in and those darker shades of blue really starting to fill in across the region now and thats an indication of the more pronounced precipitation. Our double scan technology is also indicating some sleet beginning to mix in. Notice the change to rain farther south. That rain change is working its way gradually up to the north and will eventually be in philadelphia but between now and maybe 8, 9 oclock you could forget about it. Its still going to be rather slippery and icy out there potentially. As we take a look outside we have cloud cover over the ben franklin bridge. Cold enough right now with temperatures near freezing to support a little bit of icing on untreated surfaces, 32 degrees the treatment currently. Winds are light. Wind chill 27. Temperatures across the region pretty much below freezing everywhere outside of cape may where we have the rain so we do have a concern for at least the next hour or two in through here before that warm air can march all the way up to philadelphia of some possible icy spots and of course farther north where its snowing, you are going have the typical problems related to that. Between now and 7 oclock more of this icy precipitation continues. We may start to see a lull in the precip down south where its been mainly rain and still snowing up north. We go to the end of the rush hour and that warm air does start to change over to rain all the way in philadelphia. Just outside perhaps some mixed sleet and freezing rain still possible and then snow to the north. And then through the afternoon, especially after lunchtime, most of us do change over to rain. The exception would be up in the Lehigh Valley where you could still see some icing there. Later in the afternoon its all rain everywhere and then the rain gets off the coast around 9 00 tonight so this is an issue thats mainly in the morning with that wintry mix changing over to rain from south to north. The biggest impacts are probably going to be northwest of i95 but even in and around philadelphia some temporary problems are possible. Gradual improvement through the morning, up in the Lehigh Valley it may stay icy longer and on ground, that coating to a one is going to wash away with the rain. Most of this will too to the north, one to three. Your exclusive sevenday forecast, todays high in philadelphia is 46 degrees. Only about 35 up in the Lehigh Valley, though and expect that snow and that icing situation to last longer into the day. Down the shore in the 50s. And again the rain ending tonight. Then tomorrow sunny and brisk for the eagles parade, 34 degrees but dress warmly cause your wind chills are going to make it feel like its in the low 20s at the best of time. Partly sunny and milder on friday, 43. For the weekend clouds for the most part on saturday, 49. And some late day or night time rain spills into and through most of sunday. Sundays high 54. Periods of rape. And back to the 40s on. Periods of rain. Back to the 40s on monday and. Take it slow until we get in changeover. Happening now, rescue and recovery. Dozens are feared trapped under the debris from a deadly quake in taiwan. Later the eagles show off the lombardi trophy on late night tv and have a little fun with philadelphias own the roots. Karen. You can see a little shine on the roads here in norristown. This is markley street at main street where we have some light ice falling and there goes a penndot truck right now. But were not seeing anyone slip or slide on the roadways here just yet. Well take you to Chester County, see what it looks like there coming up next. No, please, please, oh shrieks in terror heavy breathing and snorting no, no. The running of the bulldogs . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money aleia saved by switching to geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Welcome back. Youre taking a live look here the view out across the Commodore Barry bridge. But look at the bottom of your screen. A number of schools across the region, some of them are closing outright some on a delay all because of this wintry mix and weather weve got coming in. State employees, nonessential in new jersey being told come in two hours later in hopes of avoiding some accidents due to this wintry mix. Karen, that road on the cam there looks pretty slick to me. This is one of the places where we have watched some light snowfall come down. At this point it looks like route 100 is mostly just wet. Im not seeing anyone slip or slide but those temperatures are below freezing. Its well treated in this area but you need to be careful especially on some of the roadways that arent as well traveled that its slick as its coming down but route 100 at Commerce Drive were not seeing anyone slip or slide but the precipitation is coming down. Its a little light so its hard to see but we can see that the roadway there is wet. East brandywine township Chester County on creek road at Seven Springs lane we had an accident here involving a penndot salt truck that struck an abandoned vehicle. The accident itself cleared but just an idea of what can happen even with a penndot truck. You can slip or slide here. Montgomery county a new accident coming in to us on 232, thats Huntington Pike at cathedral road so watch for that. Starting to get a little busy on i95 here at the betsy ross bridge in some spots were seeing i95 looks damp and affected by this but just southbound building volume at this point some snow had been blowing around on the road here or there but it doesnt seem to be causing too many issues here for those traveling on i95 b
