it is cold. the temperatures are generally into the 30's, feeling more like the 20's, when you factor in that breeze, so, even though we hit 45 degrees later on today, that's cold enough. it is already about ten or so below the average. you got to factor in the wind. it may not feel better than 309's at any point today. bottom line, victoria, winter weather accessories definitely go. hat, scarfs, gloves, not bad idea. >> i am good with, that gives me excuse to go shopping. >> traveling on any majors, real nice outside, but the one thing i would tell when you i say nice, talking not delays or volumes just yet, dealing with the aftermath of the wet their katie was talking about. so you will still have a bit of a sheen on the roadways. no matter where you are traveling. you may notice even that problem as you head out of the neighborhoods, so just be extra careful out there. make sure that you heat up your car before you jump on the road. give it little time to warm up. take a look at the roosevelt boulevard, no delays in either direction, if you are heading either southbound towards the schuylkill or into the

northeast, no delays. if you are traveling on any of the majors, there are no delays. take a lock at 422, not too far from trooper road, eastbound and westbound, not seeing that eastbound pile up just yet. it is still pretty early. usually, at rush hour, or before rush hour, we start to see vehicles get slow around 6:00. so we got little bit of time left. however, traveling in new jersey, 295 northbound at the 42 freeway, we have an accident here, it is blocking the right hand lane. that may set you back a tad. we will let you know that cleared. watch out for disable vehicle 202 north at the schuylkill eastbound ramp. delays for regional rail experiencing slippery rales. ukee? >> thank you this was the scene all across the area last night, first snow of the season. we didn't need to break out the shovels for this early taste of went their caught few people off guard.

so, these temperatures, as they stand right now, to the 30's, they really only feel like they're into the 20's. so knock 10 degrees off. that's how it feels. could be worse, though, actual air temperatures are, in fact, in the 20's, up through the great lakes, zero across the canadian prairie, even colder, below zero, 13 below in bismarck. but take a look at this, by comparison it, just goes to show, again, mother nature can do what she will. thirty-one right now, in barrel, alaska, coal nerve places like even birmingham, alabama, than it is here, or than it is up in alaska, i should say. meanwhile, we get you through the rest of the forecast, quiet weekend but cold weekends, more clouds by sunday, then the next storm system just getting its act together. looks like it does arrive into monday, at this point, and i'm thinking mainly a heavy rainmaker, but there is some indication that there could be some wintery mixing that goes on in the back side of it. and then, just temperatures take another plummet hereby tuesday, even though we clear out, only hitting 39 degrees.

vittoria? >> yippee. good morning, everyone, one piece of good news i have for you, your commute right now not awful, but still early at 5:46 this morning, if you are traveling out and b you'll get on the roads around 6:00, 6:15, and that's when things will take a little bit after dip. but we're going to take a look now at 202. this is 202 northbound, disable vehicle at the ramp to the schuylkill expressway. you'll notice it is on the shoulder, not causing too much of a problem, almost looks like it is abandoned at this point. but it is not causing any major delays. as we move now to 309, taking a look at 309 right at the pa turnpike, as we follow some of these vehicle, here, you will notice the headlights picking up sheen on the roadway, and that's an indicator, because that far weather, though, we've had overnight, to just take it extra easy out, there still can be very slippery. with that said, our speed censors are still great as i mentioned, not only in pa but also new jersey, delaware, where we're still moving well. however, this afternoon, this morning, the platt bridge eastbound will be closed, that's heading down toward the schuylkill in south philly due to overhead repairs, stay on
