Your morning is safe. We will check with them and all of the work they are doing today. Of course, we have jenny looking at the road. Shes riding around in that cute little vehicle. I love this little car. That is a live shot. Where are you. Reporter yeah, we are driving through Chester County. The snow is sticking on the ground. We saw a plow truck passing us by. They are out there and working for us, alex and mike. Where are you what intersection i bet greg knows, your driver. Reporter yes heres 100 south. I see that. Reporter im sorry, and the turnpike. The turnpike okay. I know exactly where you are. Downingtown interchange. Six vehicle length between you and that car. We want to see distance. We want to see jenny again. Look a at that. Our first snow globe of the year. I just hope we can make it through. Somebody sent me a picture and they showed a Convenient Store with all of the shelves empty. Better go get my bread. Milk, bread and eggs. I medication that had earlier, my mom always had milk bread and eggs but she never made french toast. We need cinnamon. We always had milk, bread and eggs but she never made anything. You got a pop start. Put a pop tart in and get out of there. That is only time i have french toast when it snows. I love french toast. Hi, sue. It is one of those mornings where it will be a little bit messy for to you get where you are going. We are giving you a four out of ten. One plus it is not as windy a as it was yesterday but we have wind chills in the teens. So take a tip from bus stop buddy if you have to stand outside for a while, make sure you layer it up and wear those good traction boots out there. Because it could be a more dangerous to walk then ride because a a lot of the road surfaces have been treated this morning. Winter weather advisory in effect until 4 00 p. M. One to 2 inches of they by the the time all i had is said and done. The is there a look at the radar. It would be brighter white believe me if there was heavier snow falling but still, it looks like that at the airport. 20 degrees. 3mile an hour wind. Sunrise at 7 23. Twentyseven is already what we get for a High Temperature. It should clear up by midday. Maybe one or 2 00 in the afternoon. 21 degrees tonight. Quite cold once again. We will tell you about the coldest air of the season on the way in the seven day forecast coming up, hi, bob. 7 03. Do you know what i love about being here at fox 29 . What . We have 300 cameras here showing you all kind of weather conditions. Lets begin in delaware. This is a live look at he will being ton road at route two, and they were the first folks down there to see the the snow flakes. We are seeing roads start to get snow covered. Major jam the on the 30 bypass for the gang leaving downingtown heading eastbound bumper to bumper to bumper here. So naturally the snow is going to slow us down and, of course penndot they were out on the overnight putting down that salt brine solution. As long as road stay wet, we will be okay but this is a live look add where jenny and her photographer just drove wye actually the overpass there for the pennsylvania turnpike. Lets go to 202, right here near route 100 in the Construction Zone, look out, all of the work zones like 202, and i95, we will be a little bit more trick think morning, because there is no shoulder, and hopefully we dont to have plow any of that snow today. Heres a live look at the the schuylkill. Again, is not snow covered but the the flakes are light and fluffy enough that it is just kind of blowing around on the road surface here, in and out of town. Now, the the new jersey turnpike, already kicked in a speed restriction from the delaware in Memorial Bridge all the way up to new york. 45 miles an hour there. Speed restrictions on 495, as you roll through wilmington. Naturally with the speed restrictions and the weather it will take a little bit longer to day then it did yesterday to get there. Fifteen minute delay on the Lansdale Doylestown Regional Rail line. All trains, all stops on the market frankford line, that is preventing anybody from standing outside on the platform as one of those express trains roll by and mass transit the other than lansdale lining running with to delays. Back to you. Do you hear that bob. We have the the bell. We have another winner. That is right, our first flake winner out of Atlantic County touchdown in Atlantic City from mckenna long. Or mckenna. It is mckenna. Yes. In fact i may uncles name is mckenna. Really. His last name is ed mckenna. We have another bell ring because we have bucks county as well. Phil adams out of bucks county, he lives in bensalem. He tweeted this photo. I dont know if we have that one yesterday. Well, somers point, yeah beat out by mckenna. It is a race follow accounts. Margate, they beat you. Egg harbor township, atlantic, or is that ocean . I should know that. I think that is ocean. Help me. Sue. A Atlantic County it is atlantic. That will get through too. Yes. I still think it is mcken tweet us mcken a. Okay. So jenny is still driving around and steve is in montgomery county. Lets go north first and go to steve. Are you picking snow flakes off the car. How about that, for french toast egg and milk batter new jersey today. Do you like that idea. Egg and milk batter township. Let me lay a little knowledge on you. Heres some trivia. French toast isnt french at all, did you know that. Difficult not that. Who invented french toast. Here you go a guy name joseph friend inch albany, new york in 1724. What . How is that. He live up in that area. Go a head and Google Joseph french. That is where it came from. Historians will tell you it started in the roman empire in fifth century ad. How about that. That long. I love history lessons, by steve. Reporter this is all off the top of my head, here. How about we get to the point. Snow . Still dark out, still dark out. But the darkness is helping you see the illuminated white on the road and the sidewalk. A as we talk about driving all morning. The more treacherous thing as chris pans to the right is walking stop. Chris, show the guy walking and slipping in the snow here going into wawa because it is not deep enough to shovel. You have to broom the stuff or use a leaf blower to get rid of it. It is very treacherous, in this wawa. As we say that the guy starts salting. Look at. That how about that. There is breaking news again. They are paying attention here. This wawa is on a slant. That is why everybody walking by our news truck is nearly falling. People will to have relearn how to walk on icy surfaces as he much as they have to return. Be careful walking because they are coated and because it was so cold overnight this stuff is freezing and sticking instantly, on surfaces. Not sticking on the grass where it usually sticks first and the grass strangely. It is not solid because it rained so much the other day saturday, all day and friday night. Were sin king in. It will be rock solid by thursday when it is real cold out but the the grass is not sticking first this time like you normally see it do. Mike, i have a question he about that sweater. Certainly. Reporter was it a post christmas sale did you get a buy one get one free deal or is that beneath you and you paid full price even though it is after christmas. You should have got a good deal, if you just got it yesterday, what is the story there. Reporter i was walking by this place called theory on walnut street and a sweater on a manikin caught my eye but it was 60 percent so i got two sweaters, and i may just rock that next sweater on the next snow fall. Reporter you bought something on sale not full price. Theory by the way quite an expensive store. It is not cheap. Let me put it that way. Reporter you are right it is not cheap. Reporter you did not get it at kmart. You know, steve jj castro tweeted me he doesnt believe that this is not the sweater from thanksgiving, you want proof. Listen you fish faces ill call the woman over at theory a after 9 00 oclock. A lovely woman. Reporter heres what i want to you do. Do a little math. I want to you tell us what you got, what you paid for that 50 percent off deal. How many sweater. Reporter who how many sears sweater you can get for that sweaters at the theory. My guess is you could have got double digit sears sweater. Or for man mills. The one you you got me at walmart last year that had the sleeves zone into the sweater. Umhmm. How much was that. Twelve bucks. Reporter it was 19. 99 down. And they sold out. Still to this day the the best you ever looked on this show. That looked darn good on you. I loved that sweater for some reason. The it was so comfortable. Yes. Because the shirt underneath the sweater it is hard to pull down. Why did you give ate way. Somebody wanted it a viewer wanted it and i gave it to her you are so giving. I figured. Horrible. Lets get to jenny shes trying all around the place. Greg is. Shes sitting in the passenger seat really not doing much of anything. Reporter no, just hanging out. I am amused by your conversation. I will tell you if you are wearing a theory sweater it must be soft. I love theory. It is very comfortable. It is cash mere. Yes. So we are driving along route 100, we are in the exton area here of Chester County. I will just pan off to the right. You can see that the snow is, sticking to the ground. Since you guys can spy on us, you can also see that we are keeping a Nice Distance between us and the other drivers on the roadways. Lots of people are taking their time out here. It is smart. We have also seen a couple of plows, i dont think that we have about an inch of snow, however, we have seen those plow trucks out here just clearing the path as we are in rush hour right now. So there are more cars on the road, right now, alex and mike. Thanks, jenny. We will check back with you in just a second. Do you see how her reports are so much shorter than steves. Is there a difference. Oh, is there a difference. So anymore pictures coming in the control room camille. We have a bunch of pictures. This is from tiffany, so dusting here so far in norwood, Delaware County. We already have dell companies. Shes a Honorable Mention. Yes. Scarlet long, coatsville, already a three car accident to the right because it is a downhill spot. I hail to see that. Everybody be careful out there on the roadways. Yes. So paoli that is what. That is in Chester County. Yes chester. We already have a chester. Another Honorable Mention don in berks. Do we have a berks yet. I dont think so we will check the list, check it twice. We have a winner. Thank you, don. Yes. Berks. Do we have anymore. Okay. We have a western. That is always good. You can use facebook and instagram too but i think were only using twitter at this point for the big prize the first flake prize. Do you want to expand it. Okay. Ill get you something. Umhmm. Like oprah you get a car you get a car. Everybody gets a car. Psyched. 7 13 this is good day version, we cannot give cars. Maybe a tail pipe. Maybe we can get them a shovel. Like the one steve has. A little extender thing. You afforded this sweater. Im just saying. Sue, just take it. Now, this is snow in springfield now. There are two springfield, one in delco, montco but i love the name of the handle, it looks like a fine dusting of powdered sugar. Extra fine powdered sugar there on the cars like the food analogy dont we. Low pressure system dragging this quick moving, relatively speaking, clipper system through the area that is what is dumping the snow on us right now and it is starting to get slippery. A according to the future cast this snow stays with us on and off a it wont be continue, and it wont be heavy snow through about noon time, say one or 2 00 in the a afternoon. But bite evening rush it is going to be gone. You may see a flurry or two tonight but the the storm storm is with us ape it is making a miss. As steve mentioned it too there could be more dangerous if you walk and drive. So many roadways were treated last night in anticipation of the storm. Just got to take your time and be careful as we look at our winter wetsed vicary. It is in effect until 4 00pn for highlighted counties there the snow will end before then though but that is precaution there. One to 2 inches is still what were calling for their. Temperatures are cold 20 degrees here in the ate i. Ten in mount pocono where they were making snow last night in the mountains. 19 degrees in wilmington. Twentyfive in wildwood. So, layer it up, today and then get ready to be even colder tomorrow and on thursday. So, thursday is the worst of this cold spell. It starts to get a little bit better but it does not warm up by any means. Saturdays high only 29. We should be up to the 30s on monday, sunday, and on monday, but for today, that light snow, lasting at least through the rest of the morning. Bob kelly, do you like these powdered sugar analogy. I do. 7 15. What a difference ten makes can make. Sidewalks, live look in the delaware, at route seven in delaware. They have been dealing with the snow for the last couple of hours or so. Lets go to Delaware County. We have a live look at route 202 and route one, Painters Crossing where roads that have been treated will become wet. That was the purpose of the brine that they put down yesterday. This is butler pike and a limekiln road in montgomery county. I95 northeast philadelphia up by the the train station between woodhaven and academy road, not seeing really any flakes as of yet. That whole storm system is moving north, and east, northeast philadelphia bucks county, you will as get hit next. Heres a live look at route 100 right here near path turnpike the walt whitman bridge now kicked in a speed restriction, and because of the weather restrictions. Speed restrictions up and down the new jersey turnpike down to 45 miles an hour. Same deal on 495 as you roll through wilmington. Septa 15 minute delays on that Lansdale Doylestown line and inbound, because of the the power problems and the market frankford line all trains making all stops. No express trains this morning. Broad street subway looking good and we will start to see delays not because of the snow, but just because of the slow go, on that schuylkill expressway between conshohocken and center city. Mike and alex, back over to you. We have a winner. Yes, were writing it down now. I will have to go because it came in literally at the same time. It did. A tie. Yes. Dave adams and diana. But first is colleen. Yes colleen from Cape May County representing. All right, colleen. Yes. She wrote fox 29. In the windshield. Another bell ring for creativity. Yeah, nice good we love that. So what do we have now. How did she get her finger through that deep snow. A couple from burlington, im going with the tie here. Ive got your do dave adams and diana steviano. We will try to get those pictures up. Thinks a new thing. This is your thing, the cow bell. I hope it is in the a anything anybody. We need more. If you have a winner you have to have something to celebrate. Yes, we do need more cow bells. We need a stick too. I can use my pen. By the way, have you noticed that alex of course is from the texas area, the dallas region there. Umhmm. Apparently Chris Christie took off his orange sweater and gave it to alex. Look all a all that footage there do we have him in the box with jerry jones. I saw yesterday evening he was defending his allegiance to the dallas cowboys. Yes. Everyone is still talking about it. The the governor, of course, celebrating with dallas owner jerry jones but he admitted he has been a loyal cowboys fans since he was a kid. Sure. Buts dressed it once again with a call into the sports radio show boomer and carton. He even talked about the sweater. Lets deal with the red sweater these days. First of all, the sweater is orange. It looks red on tv. I know, i have heard that. What is up with the orange sweater, im thinking pumpkin what are we doing here. Heres the thing, the first cowboy game i went to this year the and that is what i pick to wear. The as it turns out there are some people in my universe that believe that becomes a good luck thing. Okay. I have warn it to every cowboys game i have been to this year. That was my fifth one last night and it has won all five. He didnt stop there. This is a pretty good interview. He gets so excited, he is like 12 yearold boy. Is he now planning to be cowboys good luck charm. That is what he was saying. I take offense to that. I really do. Well, he is still in it, and were not. He is a better one i guess that is what that means. So anyway it looks great on you, alex, im glad the governor sent his sweater to you. But he also did talk with eagles fans because his brother Todd Christie brought it up. You know, what i said, to folks in philadelphia is i love passionate eagles fans. That is great. Im glad they root hard for their team. But, you know, just because im governor of new jersey does not mean i change who i root for. That is his point. He has been a fan all of his life. But from new jersey. So, he got on the band wagon, of a winner. He is still on the band wagon. Spokesperson also attended the playoff game as a guest of jerry jones. People are worried about tax dollars. He said jerry jones provided both the ticket and the transportation from new jersey and dallas. We got some tweets does he have security, are we paying for that then to go with him. I dont know about that. I would think jerry provides security for him. Im sure jerry has his own security. We call him jerry. Youre on a first name bases. Because you have a blue sweater here. I will take this off and sit here naked. We dont want that. How would you like to watch all of the sports you want without cable, without cable bills . The new on demand network for sports fans im getting the idea this has to do with dish. Maybe. You got the dish. Lets get back outside. Because we are seeing a dusting. This is old but i am so excited. I can go back out there. It is right outside at fourth and market. True. Deciding which bread to buy can be tough. Deciding between buying bread and health care is much tougher. Healthy pa is now here to help with namebrand Health Insurance for the cost of a few basic groceries. If youre uninsured, call or apply online today. It is 7 24 on this somewhat of a snow day. It is whimpy. What are you saying di. It is, technically were in the snow right now. I can feel it on my face. Yes. What a face it is. It makes snow melt it is gigantic. The shoul
