southbound, bartrum, can't see it, but this guy actually spun around. you can kind of see the white car here. so again, even though the roads are wet, look at the temp, 28. anything that's wet has potential of being slippery, one of the tricky morning rush hours, not enough snow to actually force you to wow we have to slow it down, but just enough to mess it up. live look, county line road. great example of the neighborhoods, coming in from the suburbs, where again, some of the brine areas are wet. but again, 28 degrees there is could be slippery, and of course, the slush automatically is going to make things slippery when trying to make the left or right turns. one left over work crew, the blue route, southbound at the schuylkill expressway. it looks like an accident. but it is not. it is all of the construction guys down to only one lane on that ramp there, reduced speeds on all of the area bridges, this morning. the overnight construction was canceled on the schuylkill, here is a example of the schuylkill, again, wet, but watch it when you get to the bottom of any of the on or off ramps, may not have been treated in the same main or that the major travel lanes were treated. south jersey for the shaders, good shape, again, not as much snow on the jersey side. roads are just wet. but the driveways, steps, will be slippery as we kick it all off. karen, thomas, back to you. >> good reminder, we are below freezing this winter blast snowfall all across the delaware valley overnight. here's what's left of the flurries, penn's landing river rink, beautiful site there. bob mentioned it, not whole lot of snow just coating here. scott mentioned it, as well, but certainly those side roads can make for very messy morning commute. >> let's go to delco right now, upper darby good morning to you, looking at some of the parking lots, some of the busy intersections right there. people obviously taking precautions, i was taking my own, as well, people filling up

bit. so keep the hats and gloves nearby. >> all right, move over. the cow was sick of being in the nativity scene, made a run for it, and wound up on the highway on i-95. can you imagine, driving down and like hey, bob, look at that, no it is a cow. no, it is a cow. no bull, yep, i59 near callowhill, they obviously coraled at cow and brought it back to one of my favorite locations, united church of old christ where they have the nativity scene. >> so what's the plan here? >> even if you're not seeing snowflakes or the occasional cow on the roadway, certainly feeling the bitter cold temperatures this morning. >> jenny joyce is out there in the thick of it, handling it all for us, good morning to you, jen. >> i good morning, guys, and i feel for that cow. it is very, very coal out here. we know temperatures in the 20's, we do have some snow. live here along bridge street, the main drag, in phoenixville. i would say here we got about an inch, inch and a half. if you take a look at the roadways, roadways are clear, but they are wet. with temperatures in the 20's, we know that we have to be a little bit more careful. but, i will say, that our drive out here to phoenixville was pretty good. we took 76, i know bob kelly was talking about the crews out overnight. they did do a great job. the roads did not feel slick. they felt pretty good. so, if we take a look down the side, and you can see, any cars that were park here overnight are still snow covered, and a coating of snow here on the ground. it is hard to say. i know we're not really anticipating many schools being closed, there could be some delayed openings, i did check phoenixville facebook page, something interesting. they didn't post anything about today. but yesterday, they were adding buses, to pick up the

jump into loud 202, again, i just saw plow train kind of go through. so the crews still out there. not so much real a plowable snow, it is more of salt, brine, letting the cars and volume do the work.

kids there, heck of a mess, getting in my vehicle right before i cleared it off. i couldn't find the scraper. so grab your scraper, put it out there, before you head out, then i think the cute part,

not that big after problem. >> so have those ice scraper handy. light powdery fluffy snow. temperatures so cold yesterday, not whole lot of moisture in the atmosphere. so dry powdery snow. live look there, around penn's landing, showing you that coating that we have across part of the area. many folks waking up to one to 2 inches of that snow in the delaware valley. 30 degrees right now in philadelphia. but look at the wind, it is calm, so the feels-like temperature, the same as the air temperature. remember, yesterday morning at this time, feels like temperatures were in the single digit. so, ultimate doppler showing you moist of that snow fell overnight. we still have some light snow north and west, berks county, moving into sections of the lehigh valley, and the poconos, so there might be an additional coating, but most of that accumulating snow fell overnight. so as we expand the view, you can see some of the light snow, some flurries, off to the north and west. most of that will kind of rotate through over the next three hours or so. we still have those winter weather advisory in purple, that does include portions of interior south jersey, the i95 corridor, north and west, right now, it is up until 10:00 a.m. that could be allowed to expire a little early on this thursday morning. 14 degrees right now mount pocono. we have 24 in pottstown, 35 degrees in millville. and 38, look at that, in wildwood. and the winds, relatively light to calm, across parts of the area on this thursday morning. so, what to expect, some slick roads, some icy patches, bob will talk much more about that, few additional light flurries, maybe an additional coating be but most of the accumulation has already occurred. we go hour by hour, north and west, 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., still looking at some of the light snow, some of the flurries, minute wheels through, but then we break out into the sunshine later on today. so, temperatures, topping out in the upper 30's, philadelphia, low 40's in millville, wildwood, low 30's, once you move north and west. good morning, bob. >> hey, scotty good morning, everybody, 4:33, you're right, that light fluffy snow, so make sure to take a moment, use the scraper, more so the brush, the broom, get all of the snow and leave it in your driveway, or on the sidewalk in your parking spot. the roadways, mainly the major roadways, are wet. penndot put down the brine, all of the dot's new jersey, delaware, put down the brine solution. here is a live look though an accident, south on 309, again, look at this guy, spun around, and kissing the concrete barrier. that's like the third accident, same scenario we've seen. one car, spin-out. so don't get over confident. respect what mother nature is dealing with, as this morning, if it looks wet it, could be slippery. you know, the plow trains, and, you know, were out there last night, and some of the right or left lanes could still have some of the slush in there. here is a live look, 95 out of northeast philadelphia, not bad at all, careful on the construction zones, because you're going to have, you know, no shoulder for any of the slush to accumulate on. here you go. coming in from south jersey, so slower than normal speeds, everywhere this morning, hello montgomery county. county line road great example whatever we're dealing with here this morning, a combination of the wet roads, the slushy turning lanes, and then of course your kids will have to jump across some of the slush to get from the sidewalk to the front step of their school bus this morning. reduced speeds across all of our area bridges this morning, and expect delays on the bus respect trains, trolleys, comes without saying, things will be little slower than normal. just be careful, too, on all of the platforms and as you try to board and exit the buses and trains things could be slippery karen, thomas, back to you. >> let's take live look outside of the ben franklin parkway. look at the bottom right. just drop the words across the bottom. we call that the super in it. v time. see down by the basilica, a lot of shove letters out there doing the sidewalks, people will be busy up early this morning to get those sidewalks cleared off and our roads. so, it is also dangerously cold as they work. >> looking at the area bridges as well, early morning looking at the cock dom barry bridge coming out of new jersey this morning, what you are actually seeing this morning, this is in gloucester county, this is in woolwich township, you see some of the side roads, certainly more snow covered. this is going toward 295, so if you're out there this morning, certainly be careful on the side roads. restrictions on the bridges down to 35 miles per hour. >> it is not just jersey dealing with dangerous road conditions this morning. >> yes, let's bounce over to chester county, phoenixville area, actually where i grew up there, i thought i saw something falling

you. it will stay beautiful. you really shouldn't have too many issues on the roadways. taking a look here, this is one of the back road. we're live off of emelia street off route 29. where you can see the road is really clear. so what we have right now is just some really pretty scenery. we have some light flurries falling, live in front of saint michael's church. we came over to this area because i did see a tweet. somebody was concerned about route 29. i know one of the photographers, greg gill roy, he lives in this area, he said his ride into work early this morning, was not very good. so, we have that good news to report that conditions have definitely improved out here. somebody was concerned about route 29 near black rock road. because there is a big hill. and you can see, there are some hills back in this portion of phoenixville, but, they're all clear now. so your ride to work this morning should be pretty good. we know a lot of main roadways were treated overnight, they're in good shape, route 76 looks good. you just have to be careful, again, it is cold out here. so that's one of the other concerns. bundle the kids up for school this morning. karen, thomas? >>

after dow maybe a coffee, a donut. donuts are good. it moves you to the top of the list, but this will be something you need before you step out the front door, just grab, not so much the scraper, just need the brush, to clean all of the snow, it is that light puffy snow, like bob, the light puffy treason the paintings there. here is a live look at route 309 southbound, right near norristown, look at this guy, spun around the wrong way, you don't with a to have that happen. respect what mother nature is dealing up for breakfast here this morning, everything is either wet, slippery, or snow covered. as you saw from karen's driveway, that's what it looks like when you step out the front door, the neighborhood street still snow covered there is wasn't a plow operation, more or less put down the salt and brine, let the tires kind of dot trick, the major roadways are all wet. but, look at the temp. below freezing. anything that looks wet could be ice think morning, that's where we've had a lot of problems with some one-car spin out. shear live look at the new jersey turnpike, on the new jersey side of the delaware memorial bridge, where they reduced the speeds down to 45. and you can see, less snow, in south jersey, than we have out there in montgomery county. same deal for the guy coming up through new castle, 495, 95, reduced speeds, this morning, so, give yourselves extra time, and then factor in the reduced speeds. it will take a little longer today than it did yesterday. east on 422, an accident, just past royersford. roads are wet, but again, make sure to clean all of the snow off the car. here is a live look at the pennsylvania turnpike, light at the downingtown interchange, cool pretty shot with the snow on the grass, and expect delays on all of the buses, trains, trolleys this morning. and be careful when you open up that front door and that first step on your driveway or front step. that will be slippery, the same goes cents with all of the steps and the platforms, aboard all of the mass transit systems, things are going to be slippery. scotty's got the forecast for the rest of the day in 15 seconds. >> waking up on this thursday morning, to a blanket of snow, across the region, one to 2 inches fell overnight. for today, upper 30's, by the afternoon. early flurry, and then afternoon sunshine, and the winds will be pecking up. temperatures for tonight, dip into the low 20's, it will be clear, and cold, but look at ultimate doppler, most of that accumulating snowfall between 10:00 a.m., 10:00 p.m., last night, and 1:00 a.m. this morning, still north and west, though, watching some light flurries toward sections of the lehigh valley, the poconos, moving back into montgomery and also bucks county. but not anticipating a whole lot of additional accumulation. maybe a coating before all is said and done. a lot of this will rotate through over the next three hours or so. by 6:00 a.m., north and west, looking at some of the light snow, then it moves out of here, giving way to sunshine, mid-day into the afternoon, and those temperatures will recover into the upper 30's, so, watching out for those slick roads, some icy patches out there, allow some extra travel time. brush off the light snow, additional flurries perhaps a coat being, but once again, most of that accumulation has already occurred. 30 degrees, below freezing, in philadelphia right now. we have 23 in allentown, mid 30's, right now, in millville. remember, yesterday morning, the windchills were in the single digit. right now, it is not that bad. it feels like 29 in millville. it feels like 24 degrees currently in pottstown and it feels like 24 degrees in wilmington. so across the region for today, early flurries, chilly start, but 42 down the shore by the afternoon. 39 degrees for center city. and as far as that seven day forecast, 39 today, 34 degrees for friday, maybe a passing flurry, upper 30's on your saturday, and then on sunday, 43 degrees, with the threat of some rain, maybe a wet snowflake mixed in. but tempertures warming to 50 dn tuesday a shower chance with a high of 523 degrees. back over to you. >> thank you so much, scott.
