WTXF Good Day Philadelphia At 7A January 27, 2016

40s, at least it is just rain. There you see the tail end of the cold front headed off shore, southern delaware, southern new jersey still getting just little bit of rain. Temperatures above freezing just about everywhere except for the pocono mountains, we will see temperatures drop, and then go back up again, to around normal. So wind are picking up. 15 miles an hour out of the northwest, 41 degrees, but it feels like 33. And well see temperatures fall through the 30s, throughout the day. And then, refreezing happens at night. There is something to look forward tonight thats your hump day planner for the weather authority. Seven day forecast, coming up. Hi, bob kelly. Hey, sue, good morning, 70 00; live look at the blue route, 476, where they just cleared an accident out of the way here. But just watch it. The far right or far left lane, oh, weve had couple of cars clip some of the snow banks this morning. And causing some accidents. But everybody back to school. Means mom and dad going back to work. South on 95, already a jammo, academy into girard avenue. Live look downtown philly on the vine expressway, everything is open for business, just watch it, the roads are wet. But at 41 degrees, we havent had any report of black ice. So thats good news, but, this slushy snow can be just as slippery, the new jersey turnpike southbound, getting word after overturned truck, right near the toll plaza. Just before you get to the delaware memorial bridge. So use 295, if you are going to be headed south this morning. Good morning mt. Holly a accident 38 and 206. Right there at the intersection. And for mass transit, back to normal, and full service for everybody. Buses, trains, trolleys, everything running with no delays. Mike and alex, back over to you. 7 02. Lets watch some kids get on a bus. Thats right. Because it is back to school today steve. Steve in south philly. First school bus were seeing, 11 year old buoy just talk to, normally catches his bus all the way down the street but chris spin around 180 degrees, you can see why the bus cant go down there, because they are still doing the snow removal because a lot of these south philly streets are still full of snow, yet to be plowed. These are probably the last streets in the city, but they are still doing the work. This crew has been working nonstop, when we met them, couple of guys had been working 48 straight hours. So, at up the three hour since. Thats 51 hours straight. So they are being fueled, breakin, coming out here lunch and breakfast place, saying anything you want all on us, feeding these guys, but the problem these little kids are trying to say where is the bus . Where do i go . So that bus has been park therefore about ten minutes waiting for all of the kids in the neighborhood to hopefully get the word that their school bus is not going to be at the bus stop. And i was telling the little boy the sidewalks cleared, just walk on the sidewalk, stay all the way down there, because it is a lot of traffic and a lot of traffic being detoured along the snow removal route. Plus still so many pipes of snow on every corner, we watched septa bus, really have, a tight squeeze through this street, and this is one of the wider south philly streets, 17th here, at mckean. So, this school bus is not moved. They had the red red flashing lights on as the kids get on the bus, now see the school bus starting to move on cue, as we talk about it, but we will stay with the shot. You can see the cars sticking out there, school bus drivers, not only worried about the little lives that they got to be responsible for, but they got to, i dont know how you drive a big vehicle like that, down these small south philly streets on summer day, let alone on day like this where you have got huge ice berks on every corner. You cant hit any other car either. You heard sue say, water in the street, not going to like sit on an ice pack now, you will be singing down into slush, and dont be surprised if were talking about a lot of stuck school buses on little streets like this in south philly. Alex, mike . You can tell that school bulls, they decided to take a different route. That wasnt the street they were originally going to go down for sure. Man, we just got to be patient i guess. Thats true. Bundle up because youll be waiting below. At least up into the fours, 50s. True. You know what i mean . How about this other weird story from overnight, alex. Out of chester. Seventeen Year Old Girl arrested for making threats against local schools. Yes, Chester Police say, they arrested her overnight. Again, 17 years old. They say shes a behind an on line threat. The threat was made on instagram and facebook, for everybody to see. It said someone was going to shoot up schools in Chester Upland School district, today. The Community Charter school there was going to be shot up. And also, Chichester High School. It said, quote, im coming tomorrow. Shooting up every Chester Upland School District School chester Community Charter school and Chichester High School. And then it also said that all blacks must die. Well stay on the story, dave kinchen trying to get more information on what happened. Somewhat after unusual movie guess for a governor Chris Christie in the wake of the big snowstorm. Hes backing down and apologizing for comment that he made about the mayor of north wildwood. Governor Chris Christie called the mayor of north wildwood, patrick, quote, one crazy mayor. For saying the flooding in Cape May County was worse than what we saw during super storm sandy. So the mayor responded live on our air yesterday on good day philadelphia with steve keeley, the governor watched that interview and then called the mayor of north wildwood, and apologized, so in trenton yesterday, the off the president ial campaign trail yesterday, governor christie did apologize for his come ends about the mayor. It is not the first time that ive gotten carried away and said something that i later apologized for it, doesnt happen often but it laps. I feel badly about it, i like to sleep on it, i woke up this morning, i didnt feel good about what i said about him. Although christy apologized for his comment did he not back down on his comments that damage from this storm is not even close to what happened to sandy according to him. I have to tell you, everybody, i went through it. Bit by bit. There was not a thing about what happened on friday and saturday that even resembled sandy. And i did not want that narrative to put people this was no need, the purpose of my comment. And he is a friend of course to the comment about what the mop and someone asked him hey are you going to go down to the wildwoods. He said no i dont have any plans to at this time. He is talking residual damage is not the same as it was with sand. I three years ago. That will was huge chunk of the state was smashed by sandy. Thats for sure. All right, clock 07. Hey, lauren . Hi, mike. Extra front end loaders, dump trucks, around allentown this morning and tonight to help that crippled city remove that snow. City Officials Say private contractors have been brought in to help expands snow removal operations last night, clear several instruments of streets including seventh street where signs were posted state that clean up was supposed to happen the night before. Business owners say theyre losing customers because of the unplowed streets. See, we all got together, shoveled the whole street to get our vehicle out. Schools in allentown are closed once again today. Back open here in the city of philadelphia, though. Neighbors in East Germantown also taking matters into their own hands, and the mayors offers says 80 of city streets are clear. But 20 that arent, resident say theyve waited long enough, so they started shoveling on their own. If you guys come down once, cars can ride down, we can make our own path. We need something, some type of help. No one is doing anything. Having people out here, ready to fight and everything else, trying to get just get home. Caring about certain parts of the city and not caring about us. Hand that looks bad. Mayors offers said earlier this week it hopes to have all of the city streets plowed by the ends of the day today. And incredible scene at new jersey neighborhood, rock by an explosion. Wow, it shows garbage truck, explosion owning street in Hamilton Township mercer county. This happened yesterday afternoon. Police tell us the trucks gas tank shot into one house, another piece of the truck hit another home. Skyfox flew over the aftermath. That second piece sparked a small fire. Amaze inningly no one was hurt. The entire incident is now under investigation. Alex and mike, i learned all about savesies yesterday. I learned all about it. Forget no savesies. There is a lot of savesies. Nobody does anything about it. I got pictures. Which is fine. I think couple every pieces of information about this chichester, chester threat from overnight. The teen arrested for threatening to shoot up schools. Seventeen . Seventeen years old, dave . Reporter yes, thats right, 17 year old female arrested. New details, we understand this threat involved cheney and lincoln universities, lets go to the threat posted on instagram. And you will notice that it mentions Chester Upland Schooled District Schools, chester Community Charter school, and Chichester High School as you mentioned, and the phrase all blacks must die is in there. Notice the emojis also included there, emojis of a gun. Now, Chester Police say that they worked with several agencies in the investigation. The fbi actually played pretty big role and traced this threat to house on harshaw road, thats where they say the investigators say the 17 Year Old Girl was visit fog after sleep over. Were told by investigate thats she confessed, she admitted to actually posting this threat. We still dont know exactly why. And we were told that she was taken into custody. At this time, student are coming to the school to Chester High School where this girl also goes, and it appears that student arent too razz recalled by this threat. Specially since it has been thwarted. Thank goodness for that. Eleven past 7 00. So big debate tomorrow night. The republicans are going to debate again on Fox News Channel. Just days away from the iowa cake you cents. But republican front run is her not going to be on the stage. Donald trump says he is skimming tomorrow nights debate on the news channel, why, megan kelly. Whats his beef with megan kelly . It goes back to august, Trumps Campaign did not minutes words saying woe not be there at the debate tomorrow night after calling for kelly to be removed trump decided to remove himself. All right. So Trumps Campaign saying unlike the stupid incompetent people running our count rip into the grounds, mr. Trump knows when to walk away. Trump has had problem with kelly ever since the Fox News Channel debate in august when kelly asked him about some of his past comments, on women. You call women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and discusting animals. Europe twitter account only wrote rosey owe done. I and it was way beyond rosey odonnell. Yes, i am sure it was. So that was from last august, you will remember. At an event last night, trump did not mention the fact that he is skipping the debate but continued to criticize megan kelly then kelly defended herself on her show. Take a listen. Im not a fan of megan kelly. I they she a third rate reporter. I think she frankly is not good at what she does. And i think they could do a lot better than megan kelly. In the months since mr. Trump has repeatedly brought up that exchange of evidence of alleged bias on my part. I maintain it was a tough but fair question. And we agreed disagree. So, still chance to change his mind. Fox still inviting him. Experts thought though this debate would be a chance to distance himself from senator ted cruz who is gaining on him in the iowa polls. So well see now if this opens the door for someone to step in by way of cruz or rubio gaining in the polls. Using harsh words writing. We cant give into terrorization toward any of our employees, trump is it till welcome to thursday nights debate and will be treated fairly. Mike and alex, this is interesting. Because this only increases the rhetoric and well see also if this hurts or helps trump by way of the numbers with the iowa voters . Couple of things. Could you look up that word, terrorization . Is that real . Is that a real word . Well, fox is using it. Yes. And two, question, the candidate will simply do this youre such a whoos you cant even handle the questions of a reporter, how are you going to take on slapped mere pout never. To to that end cruz is already staying. The fact is even though he wont be on the stage i am certain he will be one of the main ton topics as if he was there. Here is this. If you dont like your Science Teacher do you clip the class or test because you dont like the teacher . I dont go to class. Lucky you. Thats me. I still got to goment chris, thank if you. Boy a sad situation in seattle overnight. Two people were killed, other shooting at a homeless. Police say two of the victims in critical condition, and in surgery. One other is in critical but stable condition. The shoot is her still on the run. Police say they are looking for two people of interest. The attack happening just before seattles nare delivered major speech about helping the homeless in the sit. I and somebody shot them. All right, authorities still not releasing details about a deadly shootout during the arrest of the leaders of the arm group thats occupied that National Wildlife refuge area in oregon. For almost a month now. The fbi says it stopped aiming bunny and his followers as they were heading to a Community Meeting nearby bundy his brother and their other arrested, three more people arrested separately. And another person was shot and killed by an officer. 7 15. Today is International Holocaust remembrance day. Nations around the world will hold event to remember the victims and survivors of the holocaust in world war ii. 6 million jews were murdered by german reg even, along with 9,000 nonjews, today marks the anniversary of the camp in poland. Today honor four people who risk their lives to protect jews during the holocaust. It is exactly 7 16. That means it is sue serio time. Yes. And skies are clearing today, after we get rid of the rain. Little chillier than yesterday. Down to the teens and 20s, once again, reminds beer black ice tomorrow morning. Then we are talking about more melting during the day tomorrow. Sue serio fox 29, thats my facebook page, and twitter account. So, join us, for the fun. Weve got the cold front still in the process of moving off shore. And behind it, chillier air, which is creating some lake effect snow around buffalo, and the usual locations, there is still rain in southern delaware around the jersey shore and Cape May County. Up around Barnegat Light and millville, new jersey, so, last gasp of this, over the next hour, 45 minutes or so, we should be rid of this rain. Then it will be chillier again. Now, what about that late week storm we were talking about the other day . Well, still going to happen. The storm. But it is not going to affect us. So lucking out on this one, low pressure system starting to move up the coast, but then it takes a trip up to sea thanks to Northern Storm, thats going to kind of push it away from us. This is not factoring into our weather at all. Thank goodness. Now we will have little bit of a flurry activity perhaps early on friday morning, because of the Northern Storm. But thats all we specked out of that. 41 degrees if philadelphia, well above freezing, but start to see some chilling, northwest to southeast, as the rest of that cold front gets out of here. Yesterday, as we mentioned, we made it to 50 degrees, full 10 degrees milder than monday when we got to 40. So, there is saturday whether we got all of the snow. So had three days of melting during the day, and then as we mentioned, tomorrow morning, 22 degrees, there will be some black ice that will melt, then freeze, then melt, then freeze, then melt. You goat the idea here. But it will get milder each day through the last weekend of january. 48 degrees by sunday. A chance of a shower and 49 degrees on monday. Groundhog day is tuesday. Finds out from Punxsutawney Phil fill if we will get more winter but sure wont feel like it tuesday with highs in the 50s, thats your seven day forecast, bob kelly looks like we are looking at another accident. Yes, rough one here. Two jackknife tractortrailers, now, weaver been talking all morning long, although we dont have any black ice. Take a look at this though. See the melting snow just rolling across the travel lanes here of the blue route. Now, this is the blue route, 476 south at route one. Jackknife tractortrailer, another one behind it, and this police officer, pulled up, to block the traffic then the second accident happened. So im hoping that the officers okay. There is a slew of police cars that went the opposite way here, but right now, all lanes of 476 are closed, and folks are getting off at that route one interchange. And pushed down into delaware county, again, all southbound lanes every route one. Blue route, 476 closed at route one. If you are headed south, down toward the airport, you are going to have to take the alternates, like the back roads, 320, 420, 252, and hopefully that officers vehicle is not involved, and no one was hurt in that accident. Chopper on the way, we take you there live whether you get there. Southbound of i95, vine expressway looking good, then another overturned tractortrailer this on the new jersey turnpike at southbound at exit number one. Mike and alex, back over to you. So see what the eagles del yesterday, bob . Yes. Signed
