Lets get to breaking news from Burlington County where Fire Fighters are at the scene of the church fifer. Steve keeley is there in hainesport with the very latest, good morning. Reporter just start of the daylight you can see what is now missing. That is the roof of the middle of this church complex. I say complex because it is a long, brick Building Made up of offices, maybe a classroom and a church but the very middle of the Easton Bible Church and our excellent top rated assignment editor jackie just found out her daughters family belongs to this church and mother says the the part that burns is the office and Meeting House where the kid all meet is a historic part of the church. The church looks relatively modern and maybe had additions put on to it. But right here in the middle of the Burlington County farmland. If is there an advantage of the fire starting at 3 00 in the morning when you have most of the Fire Fighters in Burlington County as volunteers is that they are all home still in the local towns, not commute to go say philadelphia or new york. So everybody was at home when the alarms sounded and beepers went off and they had a lot of people here from almost every Fire Department in Burlington County, helping out. So, nobody hurt as far as we know and damage extensive there in the middle but churches have a habit have of always coming back from the worst kind of devastating news for them and so we will probably hear that is the the case here as well as soon as we will get a chance to talk to the pastor. Good work from keeping it spreading to the entire structure and within of the other advantages of the weather today was that the wind were not as bad as they were say yesterday in the five alarmer where they saw flames going out of cop will troll no win out here today, means no flames spreading and burning the whole thing down especially when the the fire starts right on the middle. It could have went to both sides. So great work out here and Fire Fighters for sure chris and lauren will be the ones happiest here. Sue serio talking about spring coming in two and a half weeks because the the most dangerous for them is just Walking Around these scenes once their firehousees put water down on everything and everything freezes when it is only in the 20s out here.

Black ice potential out there. Refreeze overnight plus a nasty commute ahead of us for evening rush, sue will have details, we will check road here it is, count down to spring, and it cannot come soon enough. Normally i would be excited about this but i know is what coming over the next couple of days. Daffodils will be here eventually. Seventeen days. Seventeen case at least it is better. Friday march 20th is the first day of spring but first we have to get the through an icy morning. We have temperatures in the teens and 20s out there. So, we have the sun, we have some meltage yesterday and new we have refreezing this morning. Watch where you are walking and driving. Wind chills in the teens make sure you have a lot of layers on. We have below zero wind chills in the pocono mountains. It is a cold one once again w cold air in place when we start to get this precipitation it will be wintry. Snow changing over to sleet, thus Winter Weather advisory starting at 3 00 until 1 00 in the morning. The as you can see on ultimate doppler, we have, precipitation spread nothing to West Virginia. Is there energy to the south, all this converging over the the next couple of days. So keep that in mind. We have temperatures that will be right around freezing when this all begins around three or 4 00 oclock. So we have snow, quickly changing over to the sleet there throughout the the rest of the morning rush. We do expect a change over to rain probably anytime after 9 00 oclock at night as we see temperatures above freezing at this point and then rains on and off throughout the night and throughout the day on wednesday, now we will move ahead to wednesday night. This is when it gets tricky because we will start off at 6 00 with 39 degrees. You can see temperatures go down by ten it is 37, now we will get even lower colder air moving in, a change over to snow just in time for morning rush on thursday. In this case we could see decent accumulations out of this. We are at 30 degrees by 5 00 in the morning on thursday and still snowing through eight or nine or 10 00 oclock. By noon it is starting to pull away. This is still two days away. We have got time to change this forecast but it looks like potential is there, for some accumulation. That is on thursday. Back to tonight we have icing possible north and west accumulating ice. That is a very bad situation we are trying to get around for your evening rush hour. 40 degrees yesterday that is why we are seeing melting, refreezing i should say of what melted yesterday. So 35 probably before the mess hits later on in the day. Then on and off rain through wednesday, snow in the morning on thursday and then dry weather all the way through weekend. We almost dont care how cold it is a as long as we dont get eye storm, bob kelly. 6 17. Accident southbound lanes of route one in bucks county right here near lincoln highway as traffic is coming southbound down to only one lane. Already starting to hit brakes there.

We are seeing that delay from cottman into girard avenue and head up for afternoon as sue just mentioned. Afternoon rush hour on the roadways will be a mess and in the air. If you have a ticket to fly out of philly this afternoon a after 2 00 try to get an earlier flight out of here, otherwise, you will be stuck with delays. Im positive youll have delays this afternoon at philly international. Of course over the next couple days it could be tricky. Right now, thumbs up, good to go, now is time to get up and out. Downingtown toward malvern and king of prussia in problems or delays at the all in the neighborhood. Were also in good shape. We have an accident west on the schuylkill expressway right here near broad street right by the stadium area and coming in toward the city were in good shape. We have a volume delay eastbound on that schuylkill coming around the curve and a crash in the neighborhood at front and hunting park but mass transit looking good with no delays.
