snow covered boardwalk in ocean city, and down the shore, they saw snow, we saw snow in the city obviously everyone got in on t how much did we end up with? short list here, folks see how much we ended up with. 9 inches even in west chester richboro ended up with 8.3 burlington, seven-point; new castle, six and half or 6.2 and just over 5 inches fell in bethlehem, pa. so everybody had plenty to shovel and plenty to either make a snowman with or go sledding on. meanwhile, storm scan3 at least that's quiet. we have nice clear sky for you. but with the clear sky overnight, you know what that means, colder air already in place. with a clear sky none of the potential heat would have a chance to stick around here. you need blanket of cloud cover for. that will our storm is pulling away. this morning we do have a new record low for you allentown specifically 5 degrees, is the current temperature we're coming close otherwise to a lot of other places, 14 currently in fill, see how we do we would have to hit ten

to tie the record. meanwhile as the day progresses bottom line it is just cold. records aside very, very cold day, about 20 degrees or so below the average here, with these expected high values. from philly to the shore and up in the poconos but at least the sun is back, and that's a sign of a well deserved break that's going to last us for quite a while. which i think is great news for everybody at this point. we do want to get a check on how things do look out on the roads, again, it is a mess to clean up. with that said we send things out to meteorologist carol erickson, live for us in the cbs-3 mobile weather lab high carol. >> katie i'm so impressed with what the roads are like. we're on the white horse pike right now. not a problem out here. the mike has fallen down again. >> i think she noticed her mike was falling down. do you need some time to put that back on?

may be a sidewalk like this one here, in east falls, it is pretty much clear the snow off to the side by now most sidewalks should look this way. how much, they always don't. your roads however are a mixed bag. we saw many plowed roads midvale avenue, lots of snow, slush out there that's more slush than ice but kelly drive on the other hand, that road was a rough ride getting over here this morning. lot of ice on that road. we know those turns and that ice can be a dangerous combination there. the good news is we have seen that philadelphia schools are closed, as are catholic schools, so we'll see less traffic on the roads this morning, however, you will still want to take your time as you drive even as you walk. even though penndot has been out with their plows as has the city, as have property owners, everything is not done at this time. it is still very early still very cold, lot of refreezing, you will want to be careful no matter how you are getting out to start your day. live in east falls justin
