our way. i want to discuss why that is coming in what we will find out of it. i can tell you it is nothing like what we saw yesterday. storm scan three starts off nice and quiet. we will have a beautiful sunrise, beautiful sunlight initially but there are clouds starting to bilo off the alleghenies and those will move our way and then we will see a couple snow showers. we showed thaw wider zoom on storm scan. bark is worse than the bite on this one. this is all courtesy of another trough that is digging in arctic air digging in, across basically the eastern half of the united states, and then if it feels pretty cold railroad but feels that much more colder on the days ahead. modest breeze. here's how it feels. single digits generally speak ago cross the board. coldest spot as ovulate is still mount pocono feeling like 13 below. your actual air temperature is way milder at 0 degrees. 13 degrees in philadelphia we are at the a whooping eight in atlantic it the i where we showed thaw field camera. not a terrible breeze that

will change as we look forward in the forecast, down the road but for now it will start off quiet, not terribly winnie. chilly but it is a tranquil beginning to the day. later this evening especially we will start to see the snow showers moving in. which again we will time out as time goes on but coy not expect much if any accumulation so that is good news. we have some pretty icy conditions on the road. this is a a a look at manayunk overnight. we can get a check of the morning drive with vittoria and see how things are looking if there is any ice left over. good morning vittoria. >> there is definitely going to be lingering ice patches, outside on the roadways. if you are traveling out and about be very careful. travel at moderate speed. we have major activity traveling throughout northeast philadelphia right here in the tacony section. if you are traveling at le rick and torresdale torresdale avenue is closed between robbins and levick as a result of the house fire. fire has been extinguished but emergency teams are still on

still ahead on "eyewitness news" a preview of ththe highly anticipated tech toy from apple. but first here's what is coming up tonight on cbs-3.

a deadly stabbing on the streets of mt. airy. one man was killed and another victim was injured in the violence near east washington lane and east johnson street. the exact site of the deadly stabbing is not clear so far, investigators are on the scene. a manhunt is underway for the attacker. building on south fifth second street in west philadelphia hit by a huge fire monday morning could be demolish out of safety concerns. that building was classified as imminently dangerous because of the weight of all of the ice that now surrounds it. fortunately in one was injured in the fire. our time 4:49. let check business. >> money watch's jill wagner joins us. jill, numbers are in for obama

and led folks wondering how many people signed up this year. >> reporter: that is right good morning. the obama administration says 11.4 million people signed up for health care in 2015 under the affordable care act, more than a million people raced to apply in the final week and a half before sunday's deadline. the white house is extending the deadline by one week, for anyone who had trouble signing up because of technical issues. technically that number could go up a bit, ukee and quarter. >> we talk about this before the break apple is gearing up for april launch of the apple watch, what are they expecting. >> reporter: new report from a research firm suggest this could be the most successful smart watch ever with 20 million sole in the first year alone. apple stores could be getting a make over ahead of the launch. possibly adding carpet to areas where it will sell the watch. i guess that equals a little bit of fancy jewelry sales. who knows what is going on in

the mind of the apple designers, ukee and erika. >> all we know is they will make more money. >> exactly. >> thanks, jill, see you later this morning. coming up traffic and

right now at 4:53 let get traffic and weather together. how is it looking outside. >> as far as majors are concerned even surrounding neighborhoods we are dealing with black ice situations. we are in the dealing with any volume. waiting in the wings of rush hour. we have at least an hour and a half before we see formation of some sort of a rush hour but as of right now if you are traveling in the northeast section in the tacony section you will notice close another points of the levick and torresdale. the torresdale, if you are traveling in this area here this would be torresdale, this is levick. we have a fire location that was an earlier house fire they have gotten under control. the it happened close to two hours ago but still an active zone. you will find the closure point of levick street at

torresdale as well in between levick and robbins. so if you are traveling in and around that area, devereaux would be your best alternate but majors look fantastic. we are not seeing major delays. i-95 looking great and then the list continues. i-95, 476, pennsylvania turnpike all looking good but you will have black ice situations also because of this water main break in penns grove it could be a serious black ice situation closing 48 at 130. so penns grove auburn road would be your best alternate. mass transit may find delays as well. katie, how are we doing weather-wise. >> weather-wise in the bad at all, initially but later on tonight we will will see a couple snow showers rolling in coming courtesy of more than anything a new burst of arctic cold. don't get scared off by the word snow. it the is going to come through later today but i don't think you have to worry about any man major accumulation out of this at all. the let check with storm scan three which is quiet. we will likely end up with a

beautiful sunrise across the region. i will bring you those views sun keeps coming up earlier and earlier as the days get longer and longer but this arctic cold front is coming to end is us back in the deep freeze. the this is sort of just the map contour 101, right, we have brightest, prettiest magenta and pink and white shaded area where your cold air is. that is your classic trough settling in here and it comes in with this front today and then into tomorrow and friday and especially saturday morning. we will be stuck in deep freeze territory here. check out friday morning's low, 0 degrees to start things off. that will flirt with the record if not break it. we will see how we will do but possibility is certainly there. in the meantime we are off to a cold start. we have started off with some sunshine but eventually snow showers coming in. don't expect an accumulation and then by tomorrow we are right back in the teens and then trying to pull out of that hole once again.

>> katie, thank you. here to check our stories the sister station kyw news radio 1060 will be following new jersey has rolled out a new job training program in camden. also a look at an event that combines classic racing cars with photography class. a sneak peak at some giveaways planned a at citizens bank park during this years baseball season. check in two three, four times a day, kyw news radio on your am deal. >> come on bobble day night. coming up in the next hour of "eyewitness news" we are live with the breaking news search for a killer after a deadly stabbing overnight. it is the whisper that made tongues wag the vice-president gets a little touchy feely with the defense secretary's wife but what the the vp being a creep. full story coming up. also breast in milk isn't just for babies wait until you hear his willing to

dive that we see on the thermometer american anything. i don't want you to worry we are seeing the word snow. a lot of times it is a buzz word you hear it and you just get nervous. the not this time. this will be more than anything the headline is basically going to be the fact that the cold is coming and cold win will be returning as well. the let me take you out there and show you on storm scan at the local level and still not too much happening folks. we have clear skies. we mentioned black ice concerns. vittoria will be discussing that at length but as far as what is happening in the atmosphere all is tranquil for now as we have a break between systems. meanwhile here's where we stand as far as snowfall is concern. it could be worse. we always say. that check out boston's current snowfall 96 inches has fallen so far this season and folks here in philadelphia, we are at a measly 10.2. you know for how cold it is and how windy it will be and how snowy it was, we can be grateful it i
