>> people scrambling to prepare as the region gets slammed with the second nor'easter in less than a week, and the course is still to come. >> after what happened this past weekends, the first thing everybody is thinking about is losing power. >> thousands still without power, since last friday. and the heavy snow and gusty wind, you know what that will do, knock down more power lines. our crews are on the ground, tracking the latest conditions in your neighborhood. >> let us know what it looks like where you are. >> the sun begins to move into the sky. good day, it is march the seventh, 2018. so how do you make television

interesting when it is basically just sitting and waiting? so this is wait, like we're in a waiting room. god's wait willing room. >> all right? >> so let's throw out some pictures. we want to see what you're doing because we're doing dull stuff. >> look at this. >> oh, mama. >> that's french toast from cory. that looks good. oh, my goodness, tara you sent in this photo. i cannot stop talking about your child there is baby is the cutest baby it, says snow days starting early with threes three goofs. look at the baby's face. oh, my gosh. >> so sweet. >> makes me want to -- >> knock one out. >> oh, enjoying spot of tea, but not amused. >> not at all. >> took the zip i cup, that's why. >> oh, you're right. >> oh, breakfast. you know, i don't mind oatmeal. >> but i've never had my oatmeal with cottage cheese. i don't know how i feel about that. >> get some protein in there. >> i mean i like cottage cheese with pairs. >> i like mike cottage cheese. i like make oatmeal. but i've never had them together.

>> oh, something. >> don't knock it until you try. >> try this next monday, boom. let's get to it. here's our storm. now if you notice, the little l is not here yet. it is down in north carolina, virginia, coast area. >> starting to see an on shore flow, more rain and snow, going to start to get heavier. we watch the rain snow line, which right now trying to move little further northward, talk more about that coming up. all-in-all messy day ahead. we keep saying the worse is yet to come. two out of ten. if you dress like bus stop buddy that's good bet for the day. see the snow rate increasing outside the door right now. 33 degrees, winds starting to pick up, feels like 24 out there. other temperatures are in the three's, that tends to determine the type of precipitation. we've got the rain down to the

south of us. winds 17, 12, 16 miles an hour, so the wind will pick up throughout the day. temperatures stay in the 30's. and of course, how much rain mixing in, will determine how much snow we get. at the end of the day. so, i'm sure you have noticed the difference, mike masco, from 4:00 this morning, to now, about how the precipitation is starting to change. >> yes absolutely. getting to be more of fatter snowflake, that's indicative of cold air trying to be transported out of the upper atmosphere, this is storm now starting to change, a little bit of it face, if we take a look at radar. i want to show you what this looks like, notice that the precipitation is really starting to blossom just south of long island. what's going to happen, that blob of moisture is going to throw on the brakes, and head due west, that's going to come in later in the day. expect the storm to not a big

deal to quite a big deal. 10:00 heavy rain across the coast, moderate snow along 95, then crush time, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00. we could be talking about snow rates around two to 3 inches per hour. and by the way with all of the heavy wet snow there is the possibility of losing power in parts of the lehigh valley. we will talk more about that coming up in just a little bit. here is bob kelly. >> you go the it, clock zero four, morning, in the last half hour, we really have seen the change-over here in all of the cam race, like here is 95, right near cottman avenue. the flakes flipping around. light volume. because again, a lot of the kids are off from school. that of course translates into the parents taking off as well. here is a live look curbside, the 42 freeway, all of the crews waiting in the wings. there is nothing really to plow yet. because all just wet roadways. they put down the layer of salt.

new jersey, route 673 route 73, downed wires white will at the pennsauken interchange for the gang down in delaware, speed restrictions up and down 495. but just witsken air yo in the delaware, for the delaware folks, here if philadelphia, no parking on the snow emergency routes, if you got to go the best way to do it would be the broad street subway, frank frankford line running around the clock, trains every eight minutes on regular weekday schedule, back over to you. >> hold on, bob. >> yes. >> this show has been on the air for 20 years, right? >> right. >> we have pulled out a five box. now, we have two's, three's, four's, boom. we have a five box. >> team coverage. look at that. >> i might even except a team coverage open. i don't know. >> oh,. >> we don't have it yet. okay, we will work on that. i don't know to say. i've never seen a five box. >> you're very excited. let's do it. >> so lauren johnson in bucks

county, karen hepp this delaware count, thomas drayton in camden county and jenn frederick in montgomery county. but we can't forget steve. he has moved now in bethlehem. lehigh county. >> that's the five box for you, ladies and gentlemen. >> wow, steve. >> by the way our boxes cents are live, we don't just put the promo pictures on there and do tips like other people in our news room. so that's why we can be animated. >> mike, 22 years. april fools day. you can't forget that. because what a prepare row at day for this show to start on other than april fools day. have you seen before i've moved to? moved to the bethlehem diner. that will means we in bethlehem. and look how crowded it is in there. and it looks like bunch of hard-working men, getting a hardy breakfast, because they know what faces them ahead.

as we have some big white snowflakes finally, on one side we have tree removal guys, highest branches on the highest power lines, then these trucks with the drills on them. to put new telephone polls, in you can see a lot of mud on those drills, and then, on this side, we have the west pen power company guys. so the whole crew is here. these guys shut off the electricity, these guys replaced the telephone polls, these guys take the trees down over the downed wires, and they seem to have full stomachs, and that means a full day ahead, here, in bethlehem. expect the big wet snow to take down more tree branches and possibly more people without power. so to the right of us, see the plow guys starting to salt the roads, snow coming down, lehigh valley airport right across from us, where

visibility is getting lower, and likely, going to affect air traffic eventually as well. >> great report. bethlehem. he is just going to keep moving around. >> i don't know, still in the five box. i'm like a cat. things, the little things. >> distract you? >> distract me. like let's roll team coverage. my god, i can't believe -- i hate this. >> oh. ya. >> ya. now we're on the air. >> you know it is news team official when you see team coverage. because you hate that. >> i hate team coverage. >> cliches. >> but when you have a five box you have to go with t lauren johnson in bucks county, hey, lauren? >> hey, you guys, see need size sways snowflakes coming now, not happening like this earlier. so it is starting to come down little bit rougher. this little pile of snow here, let's roll the video to show you how this all happened. the plow trucks, this yes out early, salting, brining the

roads and so we came here to the quakertown borough to see if we saw any action here, and not much happening. i think they'll be closed today as is most everyone else is. they were supposed to have council meeting here tonight. that's delayed. one man here shoveling the sidewalks, putting down the salt. then earlier at the wawa, we saw lots of trucks, salt trucks, gas instruction, gassing up, fueling up, on stand by, waiting it out. so that's what we've seen here. but the snow starting to fall little harder. mike you gave me the idea, of breakfast on a snow day. so did i my research. you know, the best place to go for research is yelp sometimes when it comes to food. >> oh, yelp. >> cathy, yes, yelp. cathy's country kitchen, is where i hear is the hot spot in quakertown, open since 6:00 . so we will go over there to see if kathy is there cooking up some breakfast. >> cathy's country kitchen.

>> thank you, lauren. >> i just got tweet from couple of people say they live in havertown. they've not had power since friday, one of those folks, in delco. >> now have to beil would this, i know some people just got their power back yesterday and now really afraid oh, it will just go out again. >> one day, get the shower done, shave your legs, get all over with. >> and you lose it again. >> i guess you don't need the shower to shave your legs? >> well maybe some light. >> and hot water would be nice. >> why i brought that up, it is cents where car send right now havertown, delco. >> that's right. my parent actually from chester county didn't have power but got their light back on but still ton of people here in havertown, over by the golf course, merion golf course, merion golf manner. fleet flip it around. you can see, we had the huge wires that are down. we still had the real bick flake, the trees in this neighborhood are old and lovely. but they're enormous. on nerve ' just snow covered, right now. so, you can see, we have the caution tape down. and this is right across the

road so still situations where either from the last storm or from this storm, where you have dangerous, all the sudden, you know, you make turn, you will come into something where you will be driving into a tree or driving into a downed wire. so i think these are telephone, not your utility, cable, so kids off to school. remind them not to touch any wires. we have a spaghetti mess in this person's backyard. oh, here is the tree that fell down. dang i wonder what that tree fell down. i'll see if i can turn this one. we will get around and look around, oh, lords. >> oh, lord. >> it oh, it doesn't turn. >> oh, lord. >> we see the power lines. >> i'll show you more the next time. we have huge tree. it may have just come down, guys. >> all right. >> we will go scoot around and see more stuff. >> okay. >> we have about what, three, four hours before the thing

gets to the heat, i shouldn't say heat in a snowstorm, but in the thick of it. >> so to pennsauken, new jersey, ask the place. hey, thomas. >> reporter: hey, good morning, guys, just got done talking with with the crews here here, psea begin. obviously can't talk on camera, corporate rat thing but out here since midnight. the cause of the power lines, bob has been telling you, 170, 73, and 130, wet snow, heavy wet snow. they said this has been a problem since the lasts nor'easter. now dealing with it all over again. line after line. just simply dropping. so they've been working 16 hour days, crews here, they're going to switch out at about 30 minutes, they'll go home, get couple of hours of sleep, then do another 16 hour shift. and they fear they're going to be more power lines because of this heavy, wet snow, that we've been seeing since midnight here, and in pennsauken, almost feels like ice pellet hitting you. we talk about the line, the

purple line that sue and mike have been showing you all morning long here in new jersey, where it is changing over from rain to snow, back to rain. we are definitely seeing that. so we will head up here about five businesses by the way are without power this morning. they say they're going have the power. they should have the power back up by this afternoon. of course, weather pending, you never know what mother nature will bring you. so we head back up the road. probably head over to gloucester county because they're seeing some heavy snowfall out there, as well, some of the school district making some last minute calls to shut down this morning. back to you guys. >> all right, thomas, great job there. montgomery count. >> i with jenn fred. jen? >> reporter: hello here's what's happening, yes, dancing now, because the flakes are nice. this is like what you want january 15. see the roads, high street, north penn street, cars able to get around and do what they need to do. if you have to get out i say

now is the time to do it. >> go out, get your frozen pizza, get home. people particularly month good morning county. >> pardon me, hey. >> that's right, baby, yes. that's journalism there. if you have to get out i would do it now. oh, worried about the power. delaware county, montgomery county. i know there is a lot of places in and around montgomery county. still don't have power. people worried about the wet heavy snow. right now it is very fluffy. check this out. even the little truck here is able to get around very easily. tight turn. so again, we're in pottstown. police officers, and so far so good. here is a good gauge of the snow. up ready? >> oh, comes right off. so it is not going to be like this forever. do what you need to it. >> and i don't know how, guys, we got parked in a spot. where there is no food. there is no food anywhere

around. >> impossible. in pottstown? >> hope you packed a lunch. >> what am i doing here? they said i had to go to pottstown, and watt with a in pottstown, under renovation. >> under renovation? >> this is a crushing blow. >> outrage. violation. >> when we pick a location; there a wawa by there, or wegmans. >> that's tv 101. >> we all are still learning, 7:00 czars see-be. >> you need food in a rest room. really you need to be where you're going to be by this afternoon. because you don't want to travel where we have these winter storm warnings in effect, snow will fall at a rate of one to 2 inches per hour in a lot of these places cents, and we've added this morning new castle county and the counties across the river in new jersey new jersey to the winter storm warning. so keep that in mind. now, we have a look at our low pressure system, which is of course forming off shore. and the energy transfer is taking place, things will

start getting cranked up over the next couple of hours as far as precipitation is concerned. so you see that the line between rain and snow is trying to move a little further northwards. and starting to see the snow fill in a little bit more. still few dry slots up around mount pocono, in the lehigh valley, we see some snow falling at heaviest rate around upper darby maybe lower erion there. darby maybe lower and then some heavy rain, odessa, town's end delaware, where we are seeing rain and only rain. may stay that way for the rest of the day, but see the area of snow expanding by 11:00, 12:00. and the line between the rain and the snow moving away, so, we could even finish up with a couple of snowflakes in atlantic city but that's just as the storm is ending. ending time, say, 7:00-ish. this evening. so we continue to watch that. we will continue to watch these wind gusts, because this is the real danger with the winds and the wet heavy snow. 29-mile per hour winds gusts in philadelphia, later on

today, by this evening, 36 miles an hour, look at the shore with the higher winds in the 45-mile per hour range. so that's going to be something that will be very important with a piling up of the snow. snowfall estimate, and remember, they are estimate, three to 5 inches to the south of us. eight to 15 to the north of us. five to eight headed into the i95 corridor. mike masco outside. winds are starting to pick up. snowfall rate starting to increase at this point. >> very correct. intensity isn't just there yet sue. that's what we are looking forward to as we go forward. now i want to bring you right over to the storm. there are couple of noticable changes we will bring you here on air at 7:00. it is the structure of the storm, starting to change a little bit. notice, the enhancement of precipitation off just south of long island. that is going to stop, put the brakes on, and head due west, than will turn and morph into the snowstorm, low down to the

south. sue showing great forecast, rain change to snow. what i am a concerned of. one heck of a band that set up north central new jersey down toward say the delaware memorial bridge we could be talking two, 3-inch snow rate per hour. also the possibility every thunder know with all of the dynamics in play. by the way if you're traveling 29, a the turnpike, the blue route, pa turnpike, visibility, you can go down to zero for a time. also with the wind, the weight of the heavy snow, the risk of losing power across the delaware valley, i know not something you want to hear but do you have plan accordingly. we will talk more about the storm in detail coming in a little bit. >> good morning, everybody, here is a example of what the roadways are like, eric smith our coy worker on his way in with his dash cam camera attached.

422 coming out of boyertown, making the trip, just passing limerick, example of 422, and sort of whatever we've seen so far. just wet roads. a lot of potholes along the way, that snow kind of sticking to the grassy surface on either side. let's go though to the blue route. 476, a live look again starting to see thicker heavier flakes now roll in as mike and sue just mentioned. >> poor visible on the ben franklin bridge as we start to see the heavier snow, speed restrictions across all of the area bridges. here's 95, in northeast philadelphia. again, not a lot of snow to plow. but it is starting to knock down the visible, temperatures are going to knock down, we'll start to see that accumulation, delays and concellations, at philadelphia international airport, check with the airlines, hundreds concellations in advance, check and make sure the plane is there before you even head on out to the airport.

route 73, at 130, where thomas just was, downed wires, some of the lamps are closed, and for the gang over there the brooklawn circle still closed all because of flooding relate to the high tide. mike and alex back to you. >> send us picture every westfield, in new jersey new jersey, right? >> flooding over there, too. >> the brooklawn circle? same circle. okay. >> two, three hours before it gets real heavy so we are having some fun, send in the picks, the dogs, babies. >> oh, look at the baby watching us. >> typical viewer looking the other direction. >> says we're all ready and waiting for this snow day. so cute. >> they are cute. >> ahh. >> another one. >> look at bob, hands up. if you can combine them, boob. >> babies and dogs. we're doing one of the squeeze backs after the lory numbers here. >> mike are you going to make it? >> i'm going to make it

>> you know that we're going through, another nor'easter, just like last friday, see the big red thing sticking up? that's a low pressure system that's moving our way. up the coast. that is a nor'easter in the making. doylestown, with the frosted trees, and the big box today, good day everybody, it is wednesday, march the seventh, 2018. >> it is not just any wednesday. it is a snow wednesday. >> it is a snow wednesday. and would you see the snow and the snow globe behind us, but still kind of dark. >> plus snot sticking or anything, you see it. >> there, see it bet their. >> oh, there go. >> look at the temp.

there is the key. thirty-three. >> right. only at degree above freezing. so, it is falling as snow, but kind of melting as it hit the ground, because we've got into the upper 40's yesterday. so it wasn't that coiled. so expecting continued progress, of this storm, it will move northward. and then we factor in this moisture coming in out of the west, with the energy transfer we've been talking about, with the storm for days and days and days. hire it is finally here, the precursor where already seeing things fill in those dry slots start to fill in, watching that rain-snow line very carefully, this morning. expecting two out of ten, in your weather number today, and that may be optimistic. depending on how things go this afternoon, temps in the three's, dress like bus stop buddy and all set. >> so we have windy conditions, we've got some snow with some rain mixing in,

at times, and temperatures staying in the mid three's, so, mike masses co, just discussing off the air, that this storm is so far performing as we said, it would. >> i will say, it is right on track. in fact, if anything there is should have been a little rain, and it is more snow falling out of the sky. but again, as semen seaned, the ground temperatures still above freezing, don't have the intensity just yet. let's go to the maps. i want to show you where the storm; we are in the early stages, of development. now we still have southeast flow, that's going to be with us for at least the next two, three hours, but as the storm moves north the wind will change, north wind will change all over to very heavy wet snow. now, i was looking at some of the buoys, look at the winds off shore, gusting close to 50 s into the day throughout the evening hours some of the winds will come ashore. particularly concerned along our coast points for the possibility of some very gusty winds. excess of 40 perhaps even

50 miles per hour. so what you should know is that the worse of the storm comes into play 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. it is intense snow bands, possibility of some thunder snow. and of course, visibilities, being knocked down to near zero. we will talk more about this storm, show you some updated model guidance coming into the weather center coming in just a little bit. here's bob kelly. >> new model coming in, mike, did you see them come in? the new models, that's what he said. >> i'm red. >> i live look behind the dash cam. eric smith co-worker here working his way, actually on the ramps from 422, to the eastbound schuylkill expressway, right there, in the heart of king of prussia. so there is a bird eye view, dash cam view what it looks like rolling on the roads. everything still wet. but let's go to the jam cams. because definitely starting to see the change now, the poor visibility live look, coming in from south jersey again no need to plow anything yet. don't have that much snow. but it is wet, it is slushy,

and it is weighing down some of the trees and some of the power lines. here is a live look, at the 42 freeway in new jersey, here is a live look at route 202 at nap rode. again, at times see the winds picking up and the snow and sleet coming at you sideways, brooklawn circle, thought they could make it through and they didn't over here in westville. so look out the circle closed because of high tide. route 73 at route 130, some downed wires in pennsauken whole ramp configuration there, has lane restrictions, speed restrictions on 495, now, again, it is just rain right now, as you roll up through delaware. and up and down that 495 interchange, and here is a example light in gladwynn, we talk about earlier, that heavy, it is a heavy thick snow weighing down the branches, there is the problem we had over there in pennsauken, the heavy snow sits on top of the power lines. and that's going to become a problem as we move through the rest of the day. think you're flying in think again. delays and concellations cents

>> at least the five, we're live. right? now, here is a look at our storm, as is it continues, it slow progress, up the coast, this is going to be with us all day today. probably doesn't leave us until 7:00 tonight. and that is when we will finally be able to say good-bye. but inbetween now and then, see heavier snow, in northern delaware, but you also see some heavy rain, because the rain-snow line is just to the south of that. here in philadelphia, the snow is starting to pick up. a little bit. but whatever you get today, it is going to be a mess, a two out of ten, and as we keep saying, it hasn't really gotten cranked up yet to what it will be. bus stop buddy has a good wardrobe suggestion, just wear a lot of clothing, and a lot of layers, and waterproof clothing as well. 33 degrees, that's where we've been, our temperatures been stuck there all morning long. but the winds are starting to pick up. so, it feels like it is 22 degrees outside. and we have more temperatures that are in the 30's, 40's along the shore, which is why it is only rain there.

but, look at the sustained winds, picking up, 23 miles an hour in atlantic city, 17 miles per hour here, 14 miles an hour at dover, delaware. plan on wind driven snow. maybe a little rain mixed in. with temperatures in the mid 30's. it will be a close call, but i think even here in philadelphia, it is going to pile up in a couple every hours, because that, mike masco; when we really expect the worse of the storm. probably after 11:00, 12:00 today. >> absolutely, dow think we're right, everything is really on track. i'm not seeing, we're not seeing anything that makes us think that this is going to be a miss. you know, in and around the city streets, just not much happening. bob kelly's bike, it is not snow covered. it is just wet. and falling down, and you know just a wet conversational snow. but that's going to change, during the course of your day today. let's go to the maps. i want to show you what this storm looks like. it is cents actually just eveloped.ts actually just it hasn't even developed yet. it is in its, you know, infant stages of development. and as it starts to churn away, we're going to watch

moisture offer the atlantic slingshot west. then it is cents game on for a very heavy wet snow event. here's fox future cast, again, after 11:00 that's when we are expecting offering blossom. 2:00 is going to be crunch time. for heavy wet snow, across the region, this is when we will get into the accumulating snow portion of this event. and then everything should wrap up and be out of here after, say, "fox 29 news" at 6:00. so what you need to know is that the worse of the storm is 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. so it is 8:00 in the morning, let's calm down on the tweets, saying you guys blew it again, because we did not. 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 that's crunch time for the storm. intense snow bands could be talking about thunder snow. this is going to be a bad storm, and we will talk more about it coming up in just a little bit. >> bobo. >> you got it, mike. 80:00, a tick-tock 8:00. move that car. the snow emergency went into effect, few moments ago, 8:00 a.m., no parking along

morning, okay? >> here is the thing, lauren, the second restaurant you've gone to this morning where nobody wante wanted to talk to . it could be you. >> i know. >> you're the common denominate or. >> i'm headed on out there. >> oh, but his is also lauren, isn't this the second place where they've offered you free beverage? wasn't it coffee earlier at wawa? >> reporter: there you go, alex, see, alex, i like how you see the breitbart side of things, coffee offered earlier. i do enjoy hot chocolate. so i'll drink this, also, i went on twitter. they've given me another restaurant to go to, so chris and i will leave here and head to another quakertown hot spot. >> where maybe somebody will talk to you there. >> okay. >> but if you are cranky, i would go to this one. because nobody talks to each other. >> true. >> very quiet. >> maybe they're giving her free liquid, just to send her on her way, you know how you go here is your cocoa, go, cocoa. >> now we're staying in northampton county, easton to be exact. >> where steve keeley is. >> all right. not only do we have multiple

boxes, are you ready for this? we have multiple corridors covered. we have the i95 corridor covered. and now i'm all over the i78 corridor. i'm hugging the state line here. we are a mile from new jersey. and you can see, we are in the higher elevations centsment look at the snow sticking to those trees, up on that mountain top. so, they're looking while. we've only had about an hour of snowfall so far. but you can still see it sticking to the grassy surfaces cents as we say, but the guys that patrol and plow the i78 corridor, are doing a fantastic job, keeping the roads clear. so, if we move a mile into jersey, by the way, alex, mike, we'll have real philly-philly play. because i would be in phillips berg new jersey tossing back to philadelphia, so you could be like nick foles, call for the philly philly play, and i can be live in jersey next. >> well, our philly special that's for sure. no one like you. all right, steve keeley. see you over in jerry? just a little bit. >> do you want to check back in with karen?

last time we were with hershey had showed us the three had fallen down. >> now back in the car. >> tree patrol. introduce your friends, why are you so short? let's get a carseat for you. >> seriously, guys, over in havertown, on darby road. by the stadium. let me flip it around. and i got a plow truck, and we're starting to see some snow sticking on the ground. we're going to check in with the restaurant, and see if we can go inside, and talk to the people at the kettle when we ♪ mom, we got girl scout cookies to sell. the girl scout cookie inspired flavors you love. now in the dunkin' coffees you love. only at dunkin'.

un-stop right there! i'm about to pop a cap of "mmm fresh" in that washer. with unstopables in-wash scent boosters by downy. ah, it's so fresh. and it's going to last from wash to... ...wear for up to 12 weeks. unstopables by downy. >> good morning, state road at linden, right there by the police academy, fire academy, by the ashburner inn. roadways are wet. sticking to the grassy surfaces cents of course, so there is real now need for any plow trucks.

hollow road in glass win, last time we saw it wet. now see the road become snow covered, one of the first shots i showed this morning, that heavy, wet snow, that's dropping down some of the light tree branches, and then right here, see, how it is kinds of laying on the power lines? that's what peco is concerned about, as we move through the whole entire day here, weighing down the trees, flips down on to the power lines, and bamm, the whole neighborhood goes dark. down in delaware just rain right now. speed restrictions up and down 495 through wilmington, for the gang at the airport, delays and concellations cents check with the airline before you put the bags in the trunk, sue and mike got the forecast in 15 seconds.

>> what's changed since last night, added few counties to the winter storm warn area, new castle county, delaware, and the new jersey counties, that are right across the river from philadelphia. these are places where it is expected now to be little colder, and therefore, the possibility is therefore snowfall rate of one to 2 inches per hour, and possibly double digit accumulations, but certainly, higher accumulations than we thought there would be little bit earlier, plus added winter weather advisory, kent county, delaware, cumberland county in new jersey. so, here's the low. the coastal storm, the phasing is taking place now, meaning, the energy transferred from the on shore storm to the off shore storm, and there is a lot of places cents, that we are watching where we're seeing increasing intensity of precipitation. that's where you see the dark blue there, in new jersey, and the rain-snow line what we are keeping very close eye on, it will affect total accumulations at the end of the day. but you see, the snow is now moved south to townsend, saw

rain the last time we look at this map, and odessa in delaware right on the line between rain and snow. still dry slot up toward the mountains. but, i think we still have time for things to pile up there. here in philadelphia, dry slot, just to the south. but seeing things pick up in inch continues at this in the last hour or so. so rain down at the jersey shore, and at the delaware beaches, as well. visibility starting to drop, half mile in wilmington, delaware, mile and three quarters up in pottstown. and in trenton, as well. three quarters after mile up in mount pocono. so, that will be something we have to watch as well, as the temperature, just an agree above freezing in philadelphia. and those winds, which are picking up as well. so, five to 8 inches or more, notice the plus sign for of the i95 corridor, much more possible to the north, and less, as go further south, and close near that rain area. so, now, seeing the energy, kind of moving really, the off shore storm, mike masco is

cranking up, i was going to say cracking up but that's us, the storm cranking up. later this morning, game on, it will be like a tsunami of snow that hits the delaware valley. going to the maps. i want to show you what the storm is doing. i have one area that's circled currently, the area where we're anticipate thunderstorm development. also, note, that the storm is now taking more of an anti-cyclonec structure, pretty typical with what would you want to see with a nor'easter, that's waist going to happen, moisture coming offer the atlantic all day. that's going allow for the colds air to work down to the surface, fox future cast, is an absolute dumpster fire of weather. we will talk more about that coming up in just a little bit. fight, back into you. >> two things, dumpster fire yesterday was named as

official word by websters dictionary. >> oh, was it? >> dumpster fire. isn't that weird? and anti-cyclonec. i've never heard that one. >> that sounds intense. >> oh, man. he went, i think, he graduated assume cup loud out of meteorology school. >> i think so. >> funny, if you can see them, megan? >> everybody says it feels like christmas morning. >> why not make it feel like christmas morning? >> white christmas! >> oh, one of our viewers, though, they said, you know what? they should stop messing with you guys, you know what you're doing right now, that you guys are representing the phillies and the eagles. thank you, nancy. >> yes. >> true. >> okay. let's get back out to havertown, where everybody, a

lot of people still don't have power for the lasts what six days now, five days? karen, what are you seeing? >> well, i'm seeing a lot of plows out. got a lot of blades down right now on the groundment some traffic, i think the people are go someplace headed out right now do have to go to work, my sister-in-law is a nurse, works at the hospital, she certainly jetted on out there as long as other fine folks. we have a slot of slop on the roadways. it is cents goopy, but going down some of the side street, right here, see. and they have been running the plows on them. so you can see, that they're snow covered, if they haven't been plowed. most of these have actually already had one pason them. you can see, on the cars, people, you know, obviously smart muff to put their windshield wipers up on some of them there, they have couple every inches of snow, you know, on this side street. so right by like casino every eagle and darby road, if you know your havertown, not too far off of by where the stadium is, and the municipal offices over here. so there is a little bit of

shovel-able snow out here, obviously, listen to all of the vocabulary words, mike masco, oh, here is a person with a umbrella walking around. actually coming down so wet and so heavy that i've been seeing a lot of people that are caring umbrellas as they head out. because it is just goops you up pretty good. all the sudden it is a horrific hair day obviously. just throw the hat on your head and don't worry about it. so seeing a lot of people snake today, taking the advice, just watching the show, watching all of the 1 million boxes today, guys. >> yes. >> for sure. let's go from your box to jen's box then. >> in king of prussia. >> yes. >> you know, i went to my psychiatrist, gave me anti-cyclone i can. not working. >> not working. hey, look where we are, everyone's famous spot, we're in king of prussiament come on over. having good time.
