and road conditions are fine people are doing highway speeds, and above right now. and at this hour in south jersey we're seeing more salt than snow on the road. >> that might be the conditions, i guess, towards that area, and over in delaware too just got facebook message from becky saying the flu advice start in the dover, delaware. so you're seeing the snow, though in your headlights, right, mike? >> sure. it is very intermittent, hardly obliterate g our view. it is very light snow. it is casino every nice to look at, piss tour he is being but not affecting driving conditions at all. >> good start to the morning. >> keep an eye on it for us, my friend. thanks so much. >> you're welcome. >> let's bring in kate. >> i excellent news if you're trying to hit the road right now for sure. i want to take you out to the eyewitness weather watcher network. at this hour many of our watch remembers also finding similar conditions where it is not doing a heck of a lot just yet. not everywhere, but certainly in many locations, you have got little lull.
