atmosphere, that worked its way over the delaware val that i ended up meaning that we would lose our window of opportunity to see the heavy snowfall t loud for what we call the sly slot in the atmosphere to your nerve dry air so any snow that would try to fall, you see that setting up here locally go ahead zoom it in, that would limit it. it would make any snowfall just simply evaporate as it would tall to the ground. that's you why may not find as much further inland. in fact, you won't finds as much. definitely still some very significant snow falling. winter weather advisories, they don't include philadelphia, any more, but up to ocean monmouth counties what was a blizzard warning is now reduced to winter storm warning. not done with the storm but as not big of snowfall total. definitely snowy scene looking more hazy than

anything here outside palmyra cove nature park here in the live network 23 degrees, ripe for snow if you have any more snow showers coming they will come down as snow. not seeing any mixing with the cold air in place. >> most to up date, we expect in total snowfall totals, as things are tapering offer at midday two-4 inches now scaled back. but as you go, into even burlington county, one, two counties over it, could make or break you, you could be looking at double that if not up to foot closer to the coast, sharp contrast, depending on your location. smack dab in the center of it all, finds carol ericson live with the cbs-3 mobile weather lab. hi carol. >> my glasses are on, so i can see a distance, yes i read

great up close but distance forget t with the light in my eyes, hard to see what's going on. so let me get on to the streets, take the light off there you go, and here's what we're finding out there. and you can see that the roads here, if we can put on our high beams, we can see that we've got some snow coming down and the roads still a little bit of snow on it. this is light. this storm system moved on. outside the weather lab 23 degrees, winds out of the northwest, so that low pressure system has moved on and we've got windchill of about 10 degrees out here, so while we don't have all of the snow fortunately that we were expecting, there is still a lot of cold out there. so if you're going out today obviously the roads still have little glaze on them right now, careful on that. bundle up. bring the pets inside. this storm has left some cold air behind it. that is what we're dealing with, as we do a minimal amount of clean up,

fortunately, for those of house don't like snow at all. and vet tore crashes how are the rest of the roads? >> not awful residual snow, little bit of the sheen we are picking up in areas let's take you outside to 95, if you do did have to do commuting this morning, 95 around cottman avenue. it is a very snowy shot here. if your traveling notice, still have a lot of the snow being visible on the roadway. if you are traveling, in the southbound direction, we are seeing a few vehicles, start to maneuver in that way toward center city as we would rush hour but i highly doubt we'll see rush hour this morning. this is what it currently looks like out there you definitely want to take it easy, traveling our area bridges, you are restricted to 35 miles per hour as you should be. bridges and off ramp p manies the first to freeze. eastbound on the pa turnpike,

approaching lancaster do, have vehicle fire, be minds full of that. take a look at mass transit for a second. septa buses still on delay. new jersey transit suspended. patco running on modified schedule. dart experiencing possible delays, as a result of the weather, this morning, and also septa regional rails operating on saturday schedule. the cynwyd line still suspended. you know it, delays at the airport. we head back toutiesting. >> thanks so much. the latest on weather conditions. new jersey still under state of emergency and there is a travel ban on roads across the state. philadelphia public and archdioces schools are closed today, along with more than 500 other schools. the full list is at the bottom of your screen, and of course at cbsphilly.com. many septa bustlines are suspended or re-routed and regional rail is running on a saturday schedule. >> we want to head over to new jersey where there is a state of emergency in effect this morning. >> cbs-3 "eyewitness news" new jersey reporter cleve bryan joins us now from trenton mercer county with the situation there. cleve, good morning. >> reporter: good morning

ukee erika. it is still snowing here, not that heff a snow, very light. this is route 206, one of the main arteries that goes in and out of trenton. not a whole lot of traffic going on. we do have that travel ban and we know that state employees were sent home early yesterday, and are told that they don't have to come in today. the roadways themselves are not being plowed necessarily but we do see a lot of plow trucks that are passing by, as they go to take on parking lots and all of the contracts that they have to fulfill. if you want to see any activity really, you have to go to a place where you can get some caffeine in you this morning, we do see some people stopping by the quick check. we have a lot of different haven't tanks you can see to really get sense of the snow. one of them look up at these bright lights we have here. you see the snow is kind of swirling around at this point not really coming straight down and landing on the grounds and sticking. i would say there is not much more than inch of accumulation anywhere in the

hamilton township or trenton areas which is good news t means that if you in fact do have to go to work this morning, you should be able to get there a lot more easily. but the governor says that it won't be until daybreak that they reassess that travel ban. so you got to stand by and we'll have those update for you just as soon as we get that. >> reporting live from hamilton township, mercer county, cleve bryan. >> thank you and our team coverage continues over at the philadelphia international airport. >> nicole brewer joining us there, where stranded travelers are hoping to make it out of town sometime soon. good morning. >> reporter: yes, good morning to you guys. at this point pretty much all of the flights here at philadelphia international airport are cancelled however, we were told that a 6:15 delta flight is still a g there is also talk after 7:00 flight from delta. so those two, at least, as far as we know so far are still on schedule to depart. i actually spoke with a passenger on one of those delta flights.

he says that his flight plans were canceled three different times, before he was able to get a flight to denverment take a listen. >> delta had one early and that one canceled, then they found me another one. they did pretty good job of shifting me up to the next flight. so coy actually make it out to see my friends. >> has it been frustrating? >> it could have been a lot worse. i feel like at least with this situation was hands billion dollars delta pretty well. >> so yes it definitely could have been a lot worse i think he's right, a lot of people giving shout outs to delta they seem to be one of the few flying right now at this hour. but obviously all of these concellations were due to the weather, but that downgraded forecast as katie has been mentioning could change hinges here at the airport. in fact i spoke with spokes juan diane gerace, said a conference called scheduled for 6:00 this morning. based on what they're hearing from the airlines they may actually restore flights that's not a promise, it is

just sort of a potential possibility right now at this hour. so we'll keep you updated as we move throughout the rest of the morning. but for now yes very, very quiet here at the airport. >> before i go, a shout out to katie fehlinger and carol erickson and really the entire cbs-3 weather team, i think they do phenominal job. i have to say if you don't have anything nice to say don't tweet at all. that's all i'll say. >> nicole, i'm with you 100%. >> we ran down a few of those tweets too but things happen. >> people are not so kinds on those tweets. >> nicole, thanks. we second you. >> yes indeed, third and fourth and fifth it, all of that. further north, residents in new york state are burried in a foot of snow along with some major winds up there as well. and preparation for the storm yesterday, officials ordered workers to go home early and ban travel closing bridges and tunnels, even shutting down new york city subway system. we'll have a live report from long island, coming up in our

next half hour. >> travel ban is also in place in boston this morning. heavy snow and strong winds made for near white-out conditions there. look how thick that is. forecasters say the snow fell about 2 inches an hour at times overnight. in the end more than 2 feet of snow will bury part of massachusetts. power outages are also expected throughout new england, over the next few days. there was really getting the brunt of it. >> 6:09. we have our people around the region checking conditions for you. >> jan, how is it looking in bucks county? >> snowing heavily here in levittown, bucks county this morning. these fast flakes falling from the sky. and on the roads those streets are quickly deteriorating. i'm jan carabeo full update straight ahead. >> ♪ ♪ do you want to build a snowman ♪ ♪ >> do you have enough snow to make a snowman?

>> the snow is falling in trenton, americans err county, may not have as much snow as expected but keep in mind this is not out of our region just yet. we check in with katie and see what's up. >> actually fairly good way of putting that, because we didn't necessarily see the window every opportunity to pick up heavy snow. granted i give that you but still finding a lot going on

here on storm scan3. so we can't minimize the message, guys. we do still need you to be careful out there. keep in mind basically the further northeast you travel the worse off you'll within snowfall totals, heavier totals you'll find out that way. as we still find some banding of heavier snow coming into those areas and it is reducing your visibility, here to below 2 miles through trenton, through atlantic city and i guarantee the closer you get toward new york city even worse. so let's take another look here at the snowfall map. most to up date version of t6 different colors over our delaware valley for the different shades while what you'll find total wise, sharp gradient. so you might fine even county or two over, difference of four-eight to 12 inches of snow. so just de end penned owing long case probably find something totally different than neighbor or county or two away. keep that in mind here. still decent snowfall to actually shovel away. just not as big of a system as what we had originally called

for for philadelphia or points nor or west for that matter. >> winds is around, even through tomorrow it falls between systems but going to brighten up nicely already thursday night, a separate system coming on in. and it will bring us fresh rounds of some light snow, at this point, it looks like it will last us through friday morning, but not much accumulation. good time to text us, cbs philly weather to 84816. that will will sign you up for our eyewitness weather alert. >> weather weather everywhere chicken dinner. good morning everyone, traveling out and about this morning, you will notice it will be slick out there. you will also notice that there is pretty much a nonexistent rush hour, we take a look at 476 there is shot around the mid-county toll plaza as you can see, there is visible snow on the ground. but, there are a lot of roads that don't look like this, looking wet from rain.

still wet still serious so we advise to you take it easy out there. the 42 freeway northbound, seeing folks traveling on the 42 freeway still travel ban in new jersey, connecticut and new york. so dowries being getting a fine if you are traveling on our new jersey majors. as we take a move to maneuver out through to harley ville still accident at harleysville pike and main street. so traveling around that wake, give yourself more time. mass transit septa buses experiencing delays, new jersey transit suspended across the board. patco running on modified schedule and dart anticipates delays and of course delays at the philadelphia international airport. so you can't go know where. whole lot more information when we come back. stay with us.

>> right snow is falling and only the beginning of what's to come. >> we continue our eye on the coverage with jan and look like the snow starting to pick up there a bit. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, absolutely right. smoke heavily in levittown bucks county this morning. that fine snow we were seeing earlier has turned into these bigger flakes, and that intersection there at new falls road and edgley road is being covered up when we first arrived here, see little less covered. the salt trucks have been out all night melting the snow, but that he not snow is picking up the roads are getting covered, slush when the cars do come through here.

>> get up earlier to dust your car off build in extra time, because traveling is slow going a lot of people i've spoken with, all it be only couple of people have been out, actually like the snow, look forward to it and one lady actually leaving for work headed to jefferson hospital in philadelphia, she left at 5:00 to get there at eight. she built in a lot of time but she wishes she saw even more snow. take a listen. >> so what do you think? was this a bust. >> happy not to see snow. >> not so. i love snow. but maybe the winter is not over yet. >> still coming down heavily in levittown, we continue to keep you up-to-date. jan carabeo, "eyewitness news". >> not over yet. >> still month to go. thanks appreciate t katie keeps updating your forecast, we will check in with her on the other side. >> also ahead this morning pilot runs out of fuel, pulls

his parachute to land his plane in the ocean. how about a? hear about his dramatic rescue at sea

>> we're wondering what happened with this storm. >> easy explanation that was incredibly difficult to forecast. when you see it out there on storm scan3, kind of obvious. looking at the storm essentially in its entirety, do you see the sliver every basically just empty space between the back edge of the storm and over our area? specially earlier this morning, and through the overnight, we saw that taking shape. vie slot of air. allowed any snow to evaporate that tried to hit the grounds and it would limit our snowfall totals as a result. how things will time out for the rest of the day from now up until noon, it is really just left over band of light

to maybe moderate snow. specially through new jersey, blustery for everyone, but even more so the closer to the coast you get the storm will be departing through mid-day so that means the snow will taper for everyone, essentially west to east, then skies are just clearing, temperatures have chance to plummet as a result. speaking of temps currently below freezing across the board, mid 20's, generally where we are finding the values on the thermometer but as the day goes on, we expect to you maybe get to about 30, that will be the best we can hope for. meanwhile there will be some clean to up do, just not as much for philadelphia. two-4 inches still our expectation by the time is all said and done. and then, by thursday night yet another round of light snow is on the way for us. vittoria? >> thank you so much. katie, good morning everyone, if you are traveling anywhere this morning, do you just want to make sure that you approach any roadway with little extra caution, even if it doesn't look that bad. because it is still slippery, and slick and this is definitely traffic patterns where incidents happen. or traffic situations, rather, when incidents happen. so, taking a look here at 202

around the area of 401 few vehicles on the road, but definitely no rush hour in site. i doubt we'll see rush hour at all this morning. moving our way over to the ben bridge, 35-mile per hour speed restrictions have been implemented not only on the ben franklin bridge, but betsy, the walt, so on, so for the. traveling to and from new jersey it is going to be slick, in new jersey, there is still a traffic ban, a travel ban, so you cannot commute in new jersey, in new york, and even connecticut. if you do, you will be subject to possible fines. as we move our way into newtown, accident at bryn mawr avenue near west chester pike, downed pole to go along with, that so if you can avoid that area i would suggest do you. that will we have bus delays for septa buses, new jersey transit still a system wide suspension patco running on modified schedule dart seeing delays, so the best thing you can do is stay well informed with us here and then call the airport for sure. >> president obama con clouds his three day tour of india with a speech on religious

tolerance and gender equality the president speak to audience of 1500 in flew deli, now head today saudi allari abe ya following king abdullah and meet the new monarch. washington man said he was responsible for the drone that crashed on the white house grounds. the unidentified man turned himself in yesterday. he told officials he was flying the drone for fun and he didn't intend to fly over the white house grounds. the drone crashed on the southeast side of the executive mansion yesterday morning. and triggered a security lock-down. >> the national transportation safety board is investigating why two planes went down off the coast of hawaii just within a matter of hours. the first happened several hundred miles northeast of maui when the pilot of this plane, we're told, fuel ran out. he deployed the aircraft's parachute and ditched safely into the water below. the raft came from a holland america cruise ship. >> the us coast guard and then the coordination on was more than impressive.

so working on getting me out of there as quickly as possible, and medical team, it was great. >> now, that pilot we're told is a flight instructor in seattle. the company that he works for says the plane had problems with its fuel system. just glad he's okay. >> coming up in the next hour of "eyewitness news" we may not have gotten several inches of snow yet. but the weather is still impacting travel in our area. nicole? >> well, the philly international airport looking more like a ghosttown, ukee, coming up live with potential restoration of flights due to the downgraded forecast. that's next. nicole, thank you. also boston bearing the brunt of the storm and new york, long island, specially just getting wallopped too. live on long island with an update on conditions there ahead. >> and vittoria and katie return with your traffic and weather together. we do it on the 3's back very shortly at the bottom of the hour. so glad you're with us, thanks for waking with us, we'll be right back.

talk about hit or miss obviously the storm gave us glancing blow, looking out the door, not as bad as it could be deteriorating conditions out there. as flake fall boston and new york are getting slammed not measure snow in inches, they're measuring in feet. what we're talking about this morning, first what happened. but also, roads are still

slick out there. you do need to be careful. >> absolutely. >> this is not a foot of snow. doesn't mean you're off scott-free. >> key pending where you are you might get a foot of snow within the delaware valley confinement. so, you know, it is essentially the glancing blow, but still getting hit by it. >> so we do want to take you back in time. actually we go to another zoom here. and go back to a 12-hour loop. so what i'm going do is back up the radar. so we're all the way back now guys, to yesterday evening. notice what takes place over the center of the radar there. you see how things tonightly diminish? that would lead to you think that the storm track was just maybe just too far east, right? but notice, you see the breaks that take place in the clouds along the way, it is actually dry air coming in. so it allowed for evaporation of any snow that would try to actually stick to the surface to evaporate in mid-air. and on top of it all it, meant we lose our window of opportunity for that snow to stop for long enough time to dump very much. so it is not like we're not going to see anything.

this isn't complete miss. you do still have winter storm warnings in effect for choice couple every counties here, ocean, monmouth, mercer, then winter weather advisory, including philadelphia county. i misspoke earlier in the show. we do still have that for philadelphia county until noon today. and couple of other counties, too, but see the sliver where there is nothing. because you just ended up with too long after lull essentially for it to be more than what you'll find out there. this is our updated and most, you know, to up date issue snowfall map from the eyewitness weather team. we're expecting two-4 inches in grand total. once the storm completely pulls away by midday. four-8 inches, only have to go county or two over into new jersey, and you may find up to 8 inches. potentially still as much as a foot through portions of ocean, monmouth counties. so it is an incredibly sharp contrast depending on your location but bear in mind that just because you don't see a ton to shovel out there that it is not hazardous, so i know vittoria will be talking

about that. as the day progresses talking low 30's at best, certainly still breezy out there too to blow the snow around. that will wind will hang on at least tomorrow's storm makes its full retreat. want we want to see how things are look being we send things out for live look at the ground to meteorologist carol erickson, live with us from the cbs-3 mobile weather lab on the garden state parkway. little closer to the main action carol? >> yes, headed north on the garden state parkway now came down route 30, also called the white horse pike in absecon and moving on up, following a truck that's salting the ground, because the temperature outside the webber hat lab right now 23 degrees, and we've got windchills even lower than. that will but at the 23 degrees temperature the light snow that we could see continuing to fall is very likely to stick. that's why the salt trucks are still out doing their thing not a lot to plow. and we've seen long cloud

trains but so little for them to plow, that sparks were coming up versus any kind of piles of snow. which is great news for people who have to get out who don't have a snow plow to do their drivewayment and they have to do it by hand. not much to shovel today. but it can get very icy because stuff is still coming down temperatures are below the freezing mark, and that's why they're being specially careful as we go along this garden state parkway. now, this was an area when we get into ocean count that i was un the blizzard warning. but that blizzard warning was taken down about an hour ago through here, and now we are seeing the winter storm warning which will also be expiring little later on. lots going on out here, this morning, but not merely as much as it could have been, and that's certainly the best news of all. let's head into vittoria and the rest of these roads. >> thank you so much, carol. good morning everyone. carol bridges up very good point. even though not seeing too much whatever looks to be a problem on the road it, doesn't mean that you don't

still have a problem. it is still very slick outside. we just suggest that you take extra caution. it is a good thing that a lot of folks stayed home today. one, because who doesn't like a snow day two because you still, the roads are still dangerous, and in instances like this, where we're not seeing actual snow on the ground, some people approach the situation like it is not dangerous, because they can't see the snow, but it is, so take it easy out there. but if you are commuting right now the schuylkill expressway just fine. no volume. i doubt we'll see rush hour at all if any. not only in pa but jersey, and delaware, keep in mind if you are traveling in new jersey as well as new york and connecticut, actually cannot. still travel ban in effect. we'll let you know if it does lift. traveling in newtown, we have an accident situation at bryn mawr avenue, west chester pike downed pole, caused from the incident. let's talk about mass transit. that's really the big story herement as we gave you a checklist of sorts septa buses, you're going see a loft delays there. new jersey transit suspended across the board patco running on modified schedule.

dart you can anticipate delays. as you make your way further into this afternoon i would anticipate, also traveling at the airport over 80050 concellations, so call ahead. we head back toutiesting. >> vet tore crashes thank you. snow totals whilingly different particularly in the state of new jersey. >> cbs-3 "eyewitness news" reporter cleve bryan joins just trenton mercer county. wow, really see the flakes flying there. >> snowing sideways. wow. >> good morning, there is lots of snow falling, just not adding up to a whole lot. as it hits the grounds it just sort of is a very light loose snow. if hasn't been accumulating here on route 206, covered with snow, but very thin layer. it is causing a lit bit of slipping forecaster, that as they accelerate sometimes we see their back ends skid out little bit. allstate employees were sent home early yesterday told not to come back in. so route 2061 of the main arteries in and out every trenton not nearly as busy as would you typically have this time of morning. we did speak to some people

who have to go to work. >> i looked out the window and, you know, i was open to anything obviously the weather can deliver, you know, 14 inches, or nothing. so i was happily surprised. and just got going. >> we see a plow truck here at the quick check on 206 just sitting here waiting for a little bit more snow to accumulate before they scrape that plow again. again, the totals just not that high. we are seeing some plowing, but not on the main roadways, mostly in the parking lots. reporting live in hamilton township i'm cleve bryan cbs-3, "eyewitness news". all right, cleve, thank you. >> we want to take our team coverage over to the philadelphia international airport, whole lot of nothing going on it seems. a loft travelers stranded hoping to make it out of town today. >> that's nicole brewer checking in right now. nicole good morning. >> reporter: we were at a whole lot of nothing. i think we've increased to a

little bit of something here this morning at philadelphia international airport. basically, right now as you mentioned, all pretty much all of the flights are canceled, give or take, a few actually out of delta. but we have seen some activity, andy speak with airport spokeswoman, diane gerace few minutes ago she said they did meet at 6:00 for that conference call, they're going to talk to the airlines in that meeting discuss if maybe they can restore some of the flights. meantime, take a look behind me. you can see some passengers are arriving, many of them to try to see if they can maybe go on stand by, get out on a flight that's departing. i mentioned couple of flights on delta scheduled for 15:00 and 7:00. >> we did speak to a couple of english men trying to get on a flight to salt lake city, arrived yesterday only to find their connecting flight was canceled, and their luggage, unfortunately in limbo. >> we joined this long line, and then someone said no, flight's been canceled.

and then somebody rearranged the flight for tomorrow morning. but with no luggage. we couldn't get our luck and back. once it dis ace peers down that hole, you can't get it back. >> we do have good news. they actually managed to get those bags, on their way to delta to try to get out this morning. again, there is no word from airport officials as to when or if any every those other flights will be restored because of that downgraded forecast. but we can tell you that the snow removal operations are up and running. so should they get the green light from these carriers, they will be ready to roll here at philadelphia international airport. we send it back to you in the studio. >> always prepared over there. >> indeed, thanks, nicole. see you on the "cw" nicole. man opens fire on police during minnesota city council meeting. we'll show that you video when we come back. >> also this. >> six states under states of emergency because of this northeast blizzard. i'm chris von cleve on long

island, the latest coming up.

>> good morning, this is the kind of snow we like, just nice kind of gentle flakes fall here on atlantic city boards walk here. you can see on the ground here before the plows got here there may have been an

inch of snow here on the boardwalk. we have plows going through on schedule here throughout the morning. they say by daybreak, though, this boardwalk here will be cleared. if you're wondering if things have shutdown here, not by any stretch of the imagination. actually, slots open here inside the casino at ceasar's, people are in there gambling. we have a guy walking down here right now heard this morning that coastal flooding advisory has been lifted for this area. that was a big concern for low-lying areas. and by daybreak, the emergency office tells me they will be better able to assess the situation out here and get to work on cleaning up the roads and by ways out here. we are live here on the boardwalk, justin finch cbs-3, "eyewitness news" back to you. >> thank you we'll get back to you appreciate it. if you're wondering what happened to the snow, well here it is right there. that's live picture levittown bucks county. katie, how much long kerr we expect the snow? our area? >> yes. we can expect i think continue to see that snow here guys through probably really just the next couple of hours. i would say generally through

midday, you will continue to see it falling out there. so we do want to check in with our eyewitness weather watcher network. generally what we found temperatures into the 20's, we take new a couple of them, 28 from dolores, one of our gold star reporters early in the morning. she is actually just got clouds right now in newark, delaware, very cold, windy windchill of 23, and i love that, looks like we dodged a bullet. so it really depends who you talk to, what they thought of the way this forecast ended up banning out. 24 degrees sent in from bill, upper darby where there is still a modest northwest breeze, and he's just generally at this hour got some clouds. >> slick spots on the side streets, he says, slow down. critical on day like this. eleanor, clouds at the moment, 25 degrees for her no snow falling right now berks county where she; and again berks county missed a god chunk of this storm system. next over to storm scan3 see why that took place. i was getting questions on

twitter with did the storm just track east or what? snow falling but total slot of totally dry air set up through the overnight. actually start today take shape as early as the evening yesterday. because of that we lost time for heavy snow to accumulate, and we just saw that snow actually evaporate somewhat as it start today fall to the gown. looking at the snowfall amounts, show this updated snowfall map earl really pretty much all morning much lesser totals going into delaware as del oarsmen shopped, didn't see too much out that way but by the time is all said and done we ends up with two to 4 inches around philadelphia and basically most of the western and south southern half of the delaware vale. then the totals dramatically increase, go into ocean monmouth counties you may end up with a foot of snow out of this. and eastern edges of mercer county, i should say being monmouth county should end up or could ends up with over foot. so it is going to be certainly big deal for those areas but the further inland you got

down on us and strong, strong winds. at this point we're seeing steady but lighter snowfall, the winds aren't quite as severe. and of course as we're getting some daylight around us now getting able to look around and see what kind of snowfall has come down. saw whole lot of snow. you can see snow plows have been out all night long. they really have done a very good job of keeping pace with this weather. but at least for now it looks like it is slowing down. at least in the snowfall totals, still, bitterly cold out here. >> indeed. >> any improvement is good. >> you got that right. chris, thanks so much. we'll get back to you appreciate t we continue our team coverage in bucks county pa. >> we check in with jan carabeo there in levittown good morning. >> reporter: erika, ukee good morning, still snowing here, in levittown, bucks county. and you know what? if you can stay home, if you can work from home, if you have that luxury, it would be a good day to do it, specially since this is a pretty snow falling, but not so pretty are the roads. you can see people are going through this intersection, very slowly, this morning.
