8:04 am
weather, scarf weather hat weather, even though i don't have a hat on, and definitely boots. because as you can see, it is very icy and these cars are just sort of slipping, but big ice puddles here, so this is definitely not something that the ladies want to wear heals with, and as far as the men i wouldn't wear dress shoes i would just wear boots something with a rugged bottom. because you do not want to slip and fall on your way to church. i mean, there would be a loft prayers being said if you get there, and you're a little sore, so be careful as you walk and good luck this morning. live on kelly drive, cherry graying, "kyw news radio", "eyewitness news". >> thanks for the heads up, we appreciate it. and of course we're not the only ones dealing with a winter mess this weekend. snow ice and sleet extends from the northeast to the midwest even in the south. >> many other streets in charleston, west virginia

8:10 am
there were no injuries. so some good news there. the cause of the fire is under investigation. >> the cold weather is to blame for a water main break in philadelphia's port richmond neighborhood. after hours of repairs service was restored to around 100 homes on the 30-hundred block of tulip street. it snapped just before 9:00 yesterday morning. water poured into the basement of at least ten homes there. >> this is a brutal time of year, you know, certainly the temperatures not helping the water temperature going through the mains is extremely cold breaking many mains around the city. and, you know, we ask for patience as we get out there and make repairs as quickly as we can. >> the red cross helped families displaced by that water main break. 8:10 right now. snow ice rain, little bit of everything pretty much over the past 24 hours. carol is coming back to tell us when that wet weather will come to an end and also, about an arctic blast as they call it, making a come back for the work week. going to be chilly yet again.

8:15 am
be very careful where ever you are. driving through south jersey, and even through philadelphia, or points north and west, where you're not looking at any precipitation actually, falling right now the grounds is already frozen, we've already seen rain through there, we've seen snow, and that's a problem obviously ann evans has been talking about it all morning, if you walk out your door, you probably have encountered it, as women. twenty-seven in allentown, 30 in reading. 34 degrees out at the airport in philadelphia, it is 32 trenton, 33 degrees in wilmington. temperatures are too close to the freezing mark, for anybody's comfort. two things to get from this, though, as we wide then view out. notice, how much warmer the air is to the south. we would like to tap into some of that. but, look how cold it is back to the west. we're going to be slightly warmer today and then our weather tomorrow, coming from this direction and it will be cold again. upper teens tonight through philadelphia, and only in the two's tomorrow for highs. the 24-hour temperature change, these aren't the temperatures right now. this is the change in the
8:16 am
temperature in the last 24 hours. it is 18 degrees warmer here in philadelphia, it is 30 degrees warmer in millville, right now than it was yesterday morning at this point. obviously, the air mass did warm up. it is the ground that hasn't done anything. and the ground has remained frozen, and that's why we continue with the winter storm warning through the philadelphia area until 9:00 this morning and the freezing rain advisory for atlantic cumberland and kent county down in delaware. this is again until 9:00 because even though the air is starting to warm up, the ground is very slow to follow. so we will be finding the threat of the freezing rain continuing. the rain itself starts to move out of here, do we see it at 11:00 this morning? >> cold night tonight. tomorrow doesn't look all that bad. just in the 20's, tuesday also, in the 20's. but, today the warmest day
8:17 am
that we're going to be finding. hopefully get temperatures to 40 degrees, little bit later on this afternoon which will help shoveling some of the slushy heavy snow that is out there? forty-two, 32 in the poconos remember first thing this morning, that we do have that freezing rain in spots the temperatures too close for comfort, take it easy, 40 degrees for our temperature, tonight, we drop down to 19 degrees . >> chill down the next couple every days, but quieter around here. twenty-five tomorrow afternoonment monday night into tuesday morning 7 degrees, we are really into it again, 26 on tuesday wednesday, we could be at 38 degrees thursday, 25, but it is just going to be cold around here. >> the cold last 67 years seems like, really, had a lot of cars frozen solid. and, you know what that does? it makes a business at triple
8:18 am
a red hot. >> what is under that black cover, the battery the key to starting your car. will it be go or no? >> no crank, or you have slow cranking, or sometimes you just have nothing. >> nothing but a car with a dead battery. but the record number of them this week for triple a mid-atlantic doesn't have to be your ride. some tips: >> when you park it for the night you should cut the heat off, if you have wiper blades on, cut it off and cut the radio off. >> accessories off before turning on leaves more voltage for the battery to be able to start the car. get the battery check for power. batteries last about three years. needing jumps indicates a battery about to totally call it quits. triple a says new battery costs around $130. the price to pay to avoid the other price. turning into an icicle while you and your car wait for help may be far from home. >> and, triple a is offering free battery checks. and it is a really good thing to do. and if your car has needs add
8:19 am
jump start you really need to pay attention to. that will and in any case, i think the advice, what's turning off all of the accessories, radio wipers, that sort of thing and check the dome light f there is even trunk light on or anything that can drain the battery in the cold, 0 degrees, we will be finding temperatures -- >> even negative's sometimes. >> yes. the battery already has lost 606% of its power. so something to pay attention to. >> good reminder. >> oh, it is. >> to be pro-active. because, you know, i always wait until something happens and then -- >> that's the last thing you. >> the in this casino of weather. >> you don't want to be stranded. >> carol, thank you. let's check in with ann on the roads and the highways, good morning, ann. >> good morning, icy conditions even on our major highways, even though they've been treated we have the rain falling, you heard carol's forecast, she said there is a threat of freezing rain continuing, and we do have foggy conditions as well with grounds so frozen, there is that threat of icy conditions. now, case in point here, 95, between the vine street expressway and penn's landing

southbound lanes right in the middle your screen accident cleared from here, but icy conditions, folks really taking their time. could you see in the area highways, wills good, that's what do you have do this morning. take your time, if you are out and about. if you can wait wait until those temperatures go up, brine solution has a chance to work on our major highways, but until then be very careful, specially secondary neighborhood roadways, on and off-ramps and the area bridges. we will move the traffic cam again, to another icy spot, that's 309 at butler pike in ambler, you can see there is an accident here in the southbound lanes only the center lanes getting by, two lanes block see the icy conditions on the portion of the highway. on to the benjamin franklin bridge mid-span, no delays on the ben franklin, further up 676 southbound, bill accident there, the right shoulder getting by. that is the latest, from the cbs-3 traffic center, i'm ann evans, now nicole, back to
