And now walter perez is live in hershey where the events will take place. People are arriving at the hershey ballroom for the inaugural ball. The governor summed up in one statement our government cannot do all things but cannot do nothing either. Tom wolf declared during his inaugural address that he will be an unconventional governor. My governorship will be dedicated to jobs that pay and jobs that teach and a government that works. But there are obstacles to overcome. He is hadled with closing a 2. 3 billion state budget deficit. Former governor ed rendell says that is he confident that wolf can find Common Ground with the gop. Our republicans here want pension reform and they want to privatize the alcohol beverages industry. A sentiment shared by former republican governor tom ridge. He shared with us his desire to build a bipartisan which is absolutely essential to meet his viction and the republicans in the legislation your and all pennsylvanians for that matter. Former state senator, mike stack was sworn in as the Lieutenant Governor the one thing he says is on wolfs side is that he is not a career politician.

Snow coming our way, we get the latest on accuweather forecast. We havent seen all that much snow this winter season some snow activity in the far northwestern suburbs but not going to accumulate as this system passing through. We are watching a clipper system near grand forks and minneapolis, and that is our concern for slippery roads yet again. As we close into the activity now on double scan live radar route 100 right on the verge of mixed rain and wet snow showers and the same for the Lehigh Valley and near flemming ton and trenton the snow line is collapsing from the north and south and this is so light and the temperatures were so warm in the 40s, this will not accumulate on the roadways and cause traffic issues for the evening rush, the roads just mainly on the wet side. Trenton 41 and philadelphia 45 and 43 in millville and still above freezing in lancaster at 36 degrees. This quickly departs and at 11 00 tonight we may rip the clouds apart and see starlight later on this evening and that drops the temperatures into the 20s overnight and the morning commute tomorrow aokay. Clouds are filter and building in to the west and lunch time is okay, but its after that, 1 00, 2 00, 3 00, and to the South Building and falling in the northwestern suburbs, that pivots through in the evening rush hour as temperatures fall below freezing its quickly out of here at 8 00 and midnight tonight from the west to the east, its a general 1 to 2 inches of snow, not a lot of snow here for the week but the timing is the major concern for the evening rush hour and mixing on the onset between a coating and 1 inch of snow. Here is the major impact that wednesday evening rush hour, reduced visibility and roads are wet and turning slippery on the overpasses and allow a lot of extra time this time tomorrow night. Temperatures collapse into the 20s by tomorrow morning, after the early rain and snow showers give way to partly cloudy skies tonight. And light snow and a mix far south and east tomorrow but generally temperature as above freezing during its day and mostly cloudy skies on thursday and seasonable at 40 and friday looking good at 39 and a more sizable system could arrive on saturday with rain and snow likely and a temperature of 37 degrees.
