7:15 am
morning. we saw a lot of snow yesterday. the storm system, moved slowly, and the temperatures didn't rise. so we never got that change-over early enough, to cut off the snow totals, and change it to rain. instead of just to just kept snowing. bear delaware, six and a half inches of snow, drexel hill, over six. voorhees in new jersey, 6 inches. levittown, 5 inches, in philadelphia, 4.8 inches of snow the most we've seen this winter. looking at future weather pushing offer the coast. should be ending. temperatures should be rising at that point. may get little clearing, then we get some cold temperatures coming right back in here, by the time we get to tonight and tomorrow. but, it looks like it stays dry, much of the week. thirty-one will be our temperature at 8:00 a.m. watching these future temperatures, should be getting above the freezing mark, in all every these locations, a look at 11:00 this morning so obviously when you see the temperatures like there is things getting bert. north and west of the city, staying colder longer. no precipitation is falling. but you still have that
7:16 am
possibility of everything staying locked up and frozen. eventually this afternoon we get into hopefully the lower 40 ace and then tonight start to drop down temperature wise finding colds night cold start to the day tomorrow. forty in philadelphia, shore 42 poconos 32 degrees with hopefully some sun breaks, as we move into the afternoon hours. our winds out of the west about 5 miles an hour. tonight down to 19 degrees, partly cloudy, cold again and a re-freeze absolutely guaranteed so where testify melted today and it didn't evaporate, it is going to be freezing tomorrow morning. so it could be an in a different spot than you found it this morning. just be rear careful out there. bring those pets inside. way too cold out there. continuing, and then, on monday we look at 25 degrees, look at monday night's temperatures 7 degrees. tuesday, 26. wednesday we're into the upper 30's. nicole? >> all right carol thanks. now 7:16. let's see how trafficic is moving out there. ann evans in the cbs-3 traffic center busy today i bet
