>> you want to catch the list, we have them for you at the bottom of the the screen and website cbsphilly.com. >> live team three coverage continues, katie over in the weather center. >> i thought we would see six to 10 inches, to up a foot. guys i'll take you back in

time in a second. first, taking you outside show you the view first and for most still looking little hazy for sure. you have clouds here, over campbell's field and the ben franklin bridge, looking on "skycam 3", facing the city. but we do still have some snow out there. so if it is not falling for you right now doesn't mean it is not everywhere, but let's go back in time here, to storm scan3, what we do, take you all the way to 4:30 a.m. yesterday. about this same time. actually we go all the way back, so let's go back to yesterday afternoon 5:00, 5:45 or so. take a look what happens with time. do you see how things start to dry out? so it is not the storm pulling away, it is dry air getting slotted into our region. and, as a result, anything that was trying to hit the ground just simply evaporate dollars. that was part of the problem. could you see that very same thing within the last three hours, starting to fill in little bit here, but that's why we're not going to end up with the bigger snowfall totals. so yes, it was a busted forecast. we won't lie for our area.

but some of are you still going to find some real good snow out of this. what happened, at least meteorology speak inverted trough set up. looks like a ridge, in other words, looks like little hill as opposed to little dip. so, what happened was this air subsided, or sank, allowed for slower development of any snow over our area. and also a slower development of the storm itself t took a while to really get going. now, there are still winter weather advisories posted for choice couple of locations here, philadelphia county now taken out of the zone, and out toward ocean county, the blizzard warning has since downgraded to a winter storm warning. same thing for monmouth county. but here is your snowfall map. it has been updated. do still expect some snow. is the crazy six-12 inches for philadelphia? absolutely not. but we do still expect that you'll have maybe some modest problems as you travel out and about today. again it is a sharp cut off. the further east you go, even county or two over it, could be completely different ballgame. so, that said, we want to get you coverage around the

region. for now we send it out to meteorologist carol erickson with the cbs-3 mobile weather lab. hi carol. >> how are you katy? i've been having the nicest talk here at the silver coin diner with one of the owners of the g-boys company. and all of their trucks are sitting here. you can see them, the lights are on, these are ready to push snow in a number of areas, and they're just sitting here waiting. there is nothing for them to push. they do the white horse pike from atco down to mullica hill. look at all of these trucks. while we are getting some light snow here, it is nothing like what was predicted and they're sitting here plowed down and waiting just for the state to give them a phonecall and maybe we can turn around and show them and go the other way and see these guys, too just waiting around for the state to call and say: hey you know, you can go home or you can go to the silver coin and have something to eat. but all of these trucks, this is just one indication of how many people had to spends a

lot of time getting ready for this and all the people getting ready for us to be able to get out on the roads. instead, dry slot did all of the work for all of these people as we back up here in this parking lot. and let you just see some of the manpower from private contractors ready to go on this storm when the storm was not ready to go for us. so they just sit here and they wait for the state to give them a phonecall. that's thousand looks here in hammonton. and we will turn the light on and head back to you vittoria. >> thank you so much carol. we need to see your beautiful face. hey, pretty's out there you're beautiful face, if you are watching us right now you're probably as everyone is saying okay, maybe expected a little something different this morning. but this is a good thing. traffic wise, however, in regard to mass transit not so much of a great thing today. but we'll talk about. that will let's talk about your roads. 422 this is if you're traveling around the area of oaks notice a lot of snow on the grass here. if you are traveling on the actual roadway just looks wet.

how much, if you are planning to head out this morning even though it looks wet do not approach your roads with any less caution. it will still be slick out there and in some areas you still have some low visibility, still seeing that light sprinkle of snow. over to our area bridges 35 miles per hour what you are being restricted to. not only on the ben but also the betsy n regard to pa majors doing just fine. traveling new jersey majors down to 45 miles per hour on the garden state parkway. septa, many bus routes on detour as a result of the weather, also regional rail lines operating on saturday schedule cynwyd line suspended, patco modified schedule, dart on delay, watch out for even more delays at the airport ukee? >> resident around the area may be waking up to dusting of snow on the driveways. >> more on conditions in levittown. we see the flakes coming down, jan, good morning. >> reporter: erika, ukee, good morning. yep, here in levittown bucks

county you might get little more than a dusting, little hard to get a good idea about the accumulation, because as you can see the winds is blowing out here, so once the snow does reach the ground it blows around little bit. there is some drifting. you can see, we have at least a inch on the ground here on the grassment take a look at the roads looking pretty slipperiment making our way into levittown definately to slow it down once we got off i-95. the streets are covered here. some cars are going little quickly through the slush and snow covered street. you might want to just slow it down little bit until all of the snow can get off the roads. we do see salt crews all the time in the area. that's why we are seeing little bit of some blacktop there, definitely going to be a slow tricky travel here in bucks county, and this area, specifically, in levittown coming to you live from new falls road. and just build in some extra time. do you have clean off your car and i don't think you'll have to do anything with your driveway because your car should be able to go over. >> this bus keep that in mind. some people, you know, really

look forward to this snow. other people not so much. take a listen. >> i got a little daughter, two years old and she is casino of had me looking forward to it. she wanted to build a snowman keeps call it olaf. myself alone i lover the snow and been looking forward to it. i'm hoping we get a lot of snow but, you know, then again, casino of not. because i got to drive in it. >> i think that will be a very small olaf, not too much to work with. this is what untreated and untouched area looks like, what your sidewalk will look like, your driveway. you will have to rush off the car as you come out here this morning, and make your way to work if you do decide to make your way to workment builds in extra time, be very cautious. reporting live in levittown jan carabeo cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> just a little olaf. >> just a little guy. appreciate t. >> the weather as you might imagine creating headaches for travelers this morning. >> eyewitness neutral

reporter, just saw the tweet it is empty there could go bowling? >> reporter: yes, pretty quiet, like a ghosttown around here, of course it is, what, 4:39 in the morning. so hopefully things will get back to normal. but right now yes you mentioned it, the forecast yesterday was enough to cancel mother of the flights here at philadelphia international airport. but the seeing we've seen pretty dramatic change in the forecast overnight i'm guessing some of the normal operations will resume as we move throughout the morning of course, that's not official yet from the airport but that's kinds whatever we're standing by for. if you take a look around, there is nobody here. it is pretty much just andy and me and few of the staff members here at philadelphia international airport. at least in the terminal where we're standing. but, i can tell you that the airport has been prepping will likely continue to do that as needed today making sure de-ice the planes, clearing runways, things like that. in situations like this, the airport makes accommodations for passengers stranded. they call it their hospitality

program. have things like pillows blankets, bottled water personal hygiene kits, things like that, available to passengers who are staying the night. they also have sleeping zones which we saw in passing coming to this terminal. so, the folks are being cared for at least overnight here at philadelphia international airport. hopefully some of the normal operation also resume today given that we're not dealing with as much snow as we anticipated. certainly getting the updates for you as we hear them this morning, meantime, your best bet, as always, 1800-phl-gate or go to phl.org the twitter phl airport. of course at at cbs philly also has you covered. ukee err cape, as i send it back to you, a lot of people calling this a bus. i call it best case scenario, because the people who wanted off, want add snow day they got t and the people who have to work in the snow, well, they're not dealing with much of it. so hopefully this shapes up pretty well for everybody.

>> i'm feeling you. >> live from the philadelphia international airport, nicole brewer cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> i'm with you 100 percent we talked about that coming in what, you wanted more snow? >> beats last year, that's for sure. thanks nicole. >> still ahead this morning hey, speaking every snow new york city really getting the brunt of the storm. >> let's show you this is the lincoln center. yep, we have a live report on the snow that's coming down around the big apple. back in two minute. good morning.

lines operating on saturday schedule, and no commuting for new jersey transit at all. ukee? >> vittoria, thank you. ms. marty johnson sent me message on facebook, good morning, everyone, still nothing to complain becomes and everything to be thankful for. got free day off. >> there you go. so many kids off school. so much better than it could be when you think of okay we're expecting more snow, you get less snow, less to shovel, kids get a snow day, it is a win-win. >> look at that, sends us your message, right there. estimated 60 million people are waking to up a blizzard though of epic proportions. new york and boston are the areas hardest hit. >> travel bans are in effect from new jersey to up massachusetts, its crews try to manage the onslaught every snow. chris van cleve picks up the story from long island, new york. >> snow plows, face the brunt of the northeast blizzard overnight, as snow and strong winds battered long island. >> the winds visibility and everything, not too good. >> police in humvee's patrol the snow covered roads, kicked

the storm because of high winds, you might be without power for a period of 24 to 48 hours. >> the blizzard warning will remain in effect until wednesday. and so far power outages have not been a huge problem here the national weather service telling us more than 17 inches of snow has fallen on long island so far still coming down at rate between one and 2 inches an hour. and we expect that to continue for several more hours. ukee erika? >> chris, thanks so much, man be safer up there. >> boy, just missed us, i'm telling you. still ahead on "eyewitness news" this morning, much of new york silt ski shutdown. but the stock market is not. >> we'll have live report from wall street when we come right

stock exchange is open for business today. some traders might not be able to commute in here, though. the blizzard and the northeast has caused public officials to shut roads and public transportation, many traders stayed, some hotels sold out. for anyone who can make into work, watching as the federal reserve begins two day meeting today. and a lot more tech companies report their earnings for the last quarter. ukee erika? >> jill, for many people turning to social media this morning, an outage? >> yes facebook, instagram were down in the united states, europe, asia australia for about 40 minutes. hacking group called the lizard squad claimed responsibility, but facebook is denying it was the victim of a cyber attack. facebook says the outage was just caused by a change in its configuration system, and now everything is up and running. ukee erika? >> lizards squad? sounds like a rock bands. >> no kidding, from the 80s.

>> lizard squad. thanks jill, appreciate t coming up after a short break. traffic and weather together. lots to talk about.

>> update on snow totals.

had little sneaky dry air move in. >> that's what happened, so while the storm turned into monster nor'easter, ended up being more after dud for our area. simply because look you can see it on the radar even right now, even on the satelite where over the last few hours there was the hole that set up here, where there just wasn't any moisture, falling to the ground, as snow, and it was just because there was essentially just dry air that made it which in and allowed for more e van agents as the snow tried to drop n that's where that came from. and we continue to see some pretty decent snow through the garden state. we are still expecting pretty good totals, atlantic, burlington mercer, through north central new jersey and look at the gradient. you just go one county over, in ocean county, and you've got the possibility of up to a foot. so not that we're not seeing a significant storm out of this, it is just the back edge of it really, ended up bringing out its wild-card in the poker game basically here. so two-4 inches isn't without

question by the time all said and done for all of the light shaded blue area. but, yes, it is obviously not going to end up being the bigger heavier snowfall totals that we had originally anticipated. sometimes, mother nature can just throw those again wild cards at youment looking forward in our forecast, as we jump it into thursday, specifically, thursday night we see another system moving in. that's going to bring more light snow to our area. i'm thinking one 2-inch swat nothing major enough to snarl travel. >> well, just deal with that when it comes. won't we? >> something to look, well, not really, something to look forward to. anyway let's get outside shall we? because what you can look forward to this morning is it was a pretty light storm that we've had here, so if you do have to head to work today, it is definitely good news for you, because the roads are travel recall, if that's even a word? but anyway, moving to the schuylkill expressway, we take a look at 76, this camera shot

sort of cool here. still see light flurries in this area. but you are still going to notice wet roadways. those roadways are slick. and it is not just only pa, it is in jersey, as well. take a look at the 42 freeway as would you expect, traveling on the ben franklin bridge, walt whitman bridge, betsy ross down to speed restrictions of 35 miles per hour, so just take it easy out there. septa bus routes still many of them are still on detour, so ♪. that will our regional rail lines are operating on a saturday schedule, the cynwyd line suspended jersey transit suspended, patco on modified schedule, dart expect delays. >> coming up in the next hour of "eyewitness news", the latest on the snow that could still snarl this morning's commute. >> also, chaos in the city council meeting when two police officers are shot. see the frightening moment, as everyone ducks for cover. and a pilot pulls off dramatic landing in the ocean thanks to a huge parachute. now, we're hearing from the pilot about his rescue at sea. we're back at the top of the hour.

>> it wasn't the huge snowstorm we expected but the snow falling this morning here in bucks county, and storm scan3 shows we could still see some snow as you get ready to head out the door this morning. >> now totally nothing compared to what's happening further up the east coast. look at this, new york, boston, just getting slammed by snow. we're there live, in one of the areas hit hardest by this potentially historic blizzard. >> it is tuesday january 27th, high good morning, i'm ukee washington. >> i'm erika von tiehl. the latest right now on the storm, new jersey, is still under a state of emergency and there is also a travel ban on roads across the state. >> and philadelphia public and archdioces schools are closed today, along with more than 500 other schools. the full list is at the bottom of the screen, and of course, at cbsphilly.com. many septa bustlines are

suspended or rye-routed and regional rail is running on a saturday schedule. >> we have a team of reporters keeping an eye on the conditions out there for this morning. we'll check in with them coming up in just one minute. first though, we want to get right to katie for the latest on the snow, hey less to shovel this morning. that's how i am looking at that time. >> absolutely, you know, real good way to look at it, just because, you know, the kids are still getting a snow day and we don't have as much to clean up. but yes we did in fact, bus at least on the big snow for philadelphia, and there is a very good reason for it. jigs the last three hour loop, see the slot of dry air that managed to wedge its way in, so while most of the garden state just completely encompassed with snow falling even as we speak ended up with nice dry window, down the western suburbs, southwestern new jersey, even so what that allowed for was obviously a lot less time for us to pick
