These back road are messy throughout Manayunk Roxborough area which is to be expect. Driving here i can tell you that the main road are clear. That is a good thing. However, trying to navigate it could be dicey this morning. Especially because temperatures are what 11, 12 degrees, for a high of about 15 degrees today, it is that ice factor this morning which is going to last for the next couple of days, so, while we can tell you taking another look here at ridge avenue, if we can spin around, cars are getting by, just fine and stick to those main road because back road are still a little rough.

Once the guy spins around and gets whacked a couple times by a few other cars. Live look coming over ben franklin bridge, look at this car what is left coming over ben franklin bridge that sharp curve into philadelphia . He wanted to get to the right . The car went straight right into the concrete barrier and again, right here, if it looks wet, it is ice, that salt brin e solution or salt overnight may have moistened the road surface but that quickly froze backup. Live look at the freeway, coming in toward philadelphia, slow go this morning. Live look at northeast philadelphia right across the street from Saint Huberts high school we have septa depot here coming up, as they plowed, they pushed all that snow, big chunky snow and it is now all iced over.

You just want to be aware of what you have seen, it might not be exactly where you are right new but if you just pass a fast food restaurant, gas station, major intersection, great landmarks are very helpful. If not dispatcher will help you through it and if they need to go above and beyond they will find you. Of course, they will. Near record numbers. What are you seeing in terms of the calls. Since beginning of this week we have responded to more than 8,000 triple a member calls in the philadelphia five county area. That is up over 80 percent from this same time last year.

Steve keeley was right, it will not help much, temperatures staying in the teens all day licensing, wind chills stay below zero. Mike is outside in this. I guess if people follow our advice and stay inside this weekend we will also predict a lot of cabin fever by the time weekend is over. Getting on each others nerves staying inside all this time. He froze. Oh, no he is frozen. He really is frozen. I thought he was doing that for effect but that is really frozen. Look at that. Poor guy, we sent him outside and he just stayed that way. Well, is there perfect evidence of how bad it is, bob kelly. We have been talking about it. Wizard of oz, we will get the oil can out there, and give him a squirt. Come on in mike 6 33. Heres what we are dealing with coming up and over ben franklin bridge, one car crash in the philly into bennie, sharp curve go plowed head on in the concrete barrier because of the icy conditions. Another accident, same deal, east on the schuylkill expressway coming out of 30th street guy got spun around smack head on in the concrete barrier and another car hit him. That is what we are dealing w there is no such thing as the snow this morning, everything is that packed down ice and now septa, running with problems on the trolleys, the trolleys have equipment problems. They are being diverted at this 40th and market and from there using market frankford line running with delays, regional rails running on a saturday schedule make sure you have that saturday schedule, for the line that you intend to use, expect overcrowding, extended wait time, they have had some trains get cancelled. Folks got stuck, delays on the market frankford because of equipment, there is rest of the mass transit line up there and as we go outside new jersey route 47, bring in Steve Shapiro<\/a> from new jersey dot, steve, good morning. Good morning. It sounds like you guys got hit harder then us over here in philadelphia we are looking live at route 47 and 347. What is the game plan for today, and any problems spot so far. Right now on the state highways in new jersey they are mostly wet, traffic moving at normal speed but with the extreme cold, wind conditions Road Conditions<\/a> will change quickly with blowing snow and that could create areas of patchy ice or some slick spots it is still smart to plan extra time this morning, definitely slow down, just be patient to get where you are going safely. Steve, i necessity problem yesterday was not having the crew at least on the pennsylvania side not having crewness the right spot at the right time, what is your game plan through the day, overnight and it looks like it will get colder before it gets warmer. Our crews did a great job yesterday keeping up with the storm which is challenging here in new jersey along the shore. We still have approximately 1,200 pieces of equipment outside on the state highways and they are basically patrolling, monitoring the Road Conditions<\/a> and treating it as necessary. It is also important to remember bridges will freeze and quickly the road surfacees we are looking steve at the ramp from route 70 down to the freeway that fly over ramp in cherry hill. Yes, that is a great point, ramps, you need to be, particularly cautious on, so again, it is, even though the snows gone people need to be still be cautious because road can be slippery and these high wind push you around as well. So, yeah. We are looking at boardwalk down the shore. Are you in charge of the plowing the boardwalk. Unfortunately, no. We have to get you a mack and manco pizza down there Steve Shapiro<\/a>, thanks very much. Be safe out there through the weekend. Karen and thomas back to you. Here we go shoveling out word of the day, that is what people will be doing down the shore they have already done it once with those winds, covers it right backup. And this is a foot and a half down there. Lets check with steve keeley in strathmere with what he is seeing, good morning, steve. Reporter there is no such thing as shoveling down the shore. You need a chisel, tow truck as your second vehicle. There is the bridge to strathmere. We crossed from ocean city any to strathmere. Sea isle on the other side. Were not going anywhere. It is in the like were stick, liscios bakery rolls will not be part of the french bread at the shore unless we can un stick that truck. It is just a small path here on ocean drive. This is main highway up and down the coast all the way down the current place in avalon which we expected to raid her cabinets of her kid cereals boxes and it is not even a twoway path. But the bakery truck, block ago this path and we didnt want to about on the their gentlemen but we will try to push him out but we didnt have much luck push out pete and his kia all wheel drive vehicle i dont know how much strength we can have push out a bread truck but we will give it a good try as i wrap up this live shot and get those rolls delivered, if not, it will be scrambled eggs with the milk and eggs only minus bread here in Cape May County<\/a> today. Bread sticks. I cannot believe that is main drag, it is unfathomable, my sister worked there right over the bridge in ocean city. Never fun to deal with the elements there but certainly beautiful to look at this was sunset over Delaware River<\/a> in salem county. Our photo journalist, tina ho gate captured this with her iphone yesterday. We had a beautiful sunrise yesterday, and then got real dark outside. All right. We have to tell but this incident involving two children. So scary. Happened in delaware. The good news they are safe right now. They were sitting in car that the mom left running because it was obviously freezing cold outside. She had two children inside just one and five. She runs in the wawa, in the 2,000 block of limestone road in wilmington. She comes out five minutes later, cars gone but dumped a few miles away after they took it they realized the kid were inside. Suspect took off running away. He is still on the lamb. They are looking for him. Former new jersey governor Brendan Byrne<\/a> has died at age of 93. Perhaps best known as perhaps the governor who mobsters once called too ethical to bribe and authorized laws for gambling in Atlantic City<\/a>. He died yesterday at his home in living ton.

That is city bike, you know, the system, you take the bike, use it for a couple hours. They weigh about 45pound. Strong wind, lift that had bake there during the storm, this was looking at this video , this was at fortyfirst and eighth in manhattan up there. But no joke dealing with that. They are bending metal in this weather, that is crazy. We had our blue bikes as well. We have bob kelly from our window right here, tons of people biking yesterday. I could not believe it. Those carriers that run around center city riding their bikes, just walking this morning will be difficult. I think ppa instead of happening out ticket to the cars should hand out tickets to the folks who havent shoveled their walk. If you didnt shovel yesterday , gang it is a sheet of rock solid ice. This is 202 in the Construction Zone<\/a> we had a quick accident right there in the heart of the malvern. They have cleared that quickly accident here eastbound on the schuylkill right at 30th street station, a nasty crash coming in on ben franklin into philadelphia, an example coming over ben franklin, everything looks good and then hit that sharp curve and this fellow went smack dab head on in the concrete barrier. I said earlier what you dont see is what will get you in the most trouble. We dont have that visual snow to force to us slow down this morning but everything is just a sheet of ice. Septa running on a saturday schedule expect overcrowding, extended wait times, have that schedule ready to go, cynwyd line running buses, trolleys, they are running with delays and then diverted it at 40th, two minutes later trolleys are running again. I dont know what is going on on the trolleys. I feel bad for people, you dont know whether it is coming or not coming. That is what we are dealing w i dont know if there is any good solution other than delay your trip if you can. Delays on the market frankford of ten minutes because of equipment issues. Heres the deal for rest of the mass transit line. Everybody is giving it their best shot to have a normal work day but heres a live look down the shore as we heard from Steve Shapiro<\/a>, at new jersey dot. They have sat trucks out there but what is tough is the salt melts ice but then that quickly it freeze is it backup it will be a rough next couple days, sue has the whole forecast in 15 seconds. 6 47.

Its is breaking up. But if you put your tires on top of here you will be spinning and not going anywhere. Nina was just parked over here we thought she would get stunning. You can see her tire tread. We thought she would be stuck but she assured me shes from syracuse. Shes a hearty soul. She has no issues with the tire. She got out. Be careful. A lot of slush on the side road and where would you normally park. Lets go to the board i want to show you, boy, look at this cold tonight. 6 degrees in philadelphia we will make a run for some record here in philadelphia and most of the Delaware Valley<\/a> with these numbers in the single digits.
