good morning, thanks for waking with us, it is friday march 6, i'm ukee washington. >> i'm erika von tiehl. the latest on the clean up after yesterday's major snowstorm. parent kids, listen up. all philadelphia public and archdioces schools are closed today, you can find other closings on line. there are hundreds of them at cbsphilly.com and at the bottom of your screen. all right, katie all hoping for this warm up. what is it coming? >> it is eventually going to get here, now we still have to deal with very cold weather out there guys, at least the storm is gone, now the break the well deserved break can begin for us here. storm scan3 shows that very well. you know you've got nothing out there. with our tri-state sweep being made from all of the different area radars that we have at our disposal. little bit of wider zoom, satellite coverage on top of there is within the last three hours, see how all of the clouds have long since retreated out to sea. so remember what happens means temperatures can drop that much more efficient lip because you don't have blanket in essence. mother nature's blanket is not

thereto trap in any heat. that we may have had a chance to bill up from yesterday. well allentown already new record 5 degrees, so far wilmington, your record to beat is 11, trenton is seven atlantic city ten as well as in philadelphia. see where we are right now. do we need to update any of the graphic here? at 11 degrees in trenton so still few degrees shy philly, a as well, 4 degrees in order to tie the record shaved off of that current temperature. but the bottom line is, we put the records aside, and you're talking some really cold air. it is march after all so we expect these extremes. but you also expect to at least start to see some rebound going on here, we're about 20 to almost 25 degrees below the seasonable average with the expected high that is no better than the mid or upper 20s. that's rough stuff. meanwhile, how did we do? here is just short list of some of the snow mounds that we saw in pennsylvania. we did over achieve, nine and a half inches in bala cynwyd. ten even in wayne. and out in wynnewood you

ended up with 8.5 abington, 8 inches even falling to the ground for you there. couple in new jersey, snow amount, and we'll have some more delaware totals coming up later in the show. with all of that snow that we've got to get rid of it, it will make for rough morning commute. with that said we check in with meteorologist carol erickson in the cbs-3 mobile weather lab. right now approaching depford i'm told, carol? >> reporter: yes, we just came off the 42 expressway, and i tell you, it was in great shape. now, we're headed onto 55. yesterday, when we were in the weather lab and the snow was coming down, i want to tell you, we saw accident after accident on this road, with cars going off into this median, off to the left, which is just a bunch of trees. fortunately, because it block them from going across, headed in the other direction. but at this point this morning we've got the snow on the shoulder, but the road is running fine. depending on where you are of course this will be very situation al.

but del dot did great job, new jersey did great job all of our department every transportation workers all of the county workers so, things look in really fairly good shape this morning though you will be finding a a lot of snow packed roads. as we get farther and farther down here, see whether or not the shoulder, which is still snow covered becomes closer into the lanes and it looks like it does a little bit. you know, i was checking the systems here. yesterday recorded at the airport in philadelphia, rain, light rain, snow, heavy snow, sleet, fog, fog with visibility less than quarter after mile. we had everything yesterday. so things are definitely improving today. we will be finding the sunshine, full moon out there but the full moon is not helping melt anything. so if you're on a road, and now starting to hear it on this road, you start to hear the snow that has not yet gotten off the road. so the first people out this morning, are going to be the ones who have the most difficulty with this. it is just going to be a day like this, but we are promised

some warming this weekend. so we will go with that. and from route 55, right back into the studio. >> good morning carol brought up great point yes, new jersey, great job by the department of transportation, same thing with delaware, philly too. the one thing though, traveling on the majors in philly, i noticed even coming in, still some of 95, that was the road i was taking this morning, has that frosted sheen over it. so definitely still want to use some extra caution out there. really again all of our teams throughout did amazing job. we look at 95, 95 wide open for you. no delays in either direction. >> this shot here right around the stretch of cottman avenue. if you are traveling elsewhere, like the very dark road of the schuylkill expressway, right around montgomery drive again no major delays. we have more so the snow off on the embankment and the shoulders rather than in the roadway. and that's how we like t however, traveling in and out of the neighborhoods, i feel like that will be your biggest feat today. still we are experiencing some

of that packed crushed snow underneath your commute this morning, in and out of the neighborhoods. so definitely can make getting the kids to school little tricky this morning. if you are traveling the new jersey turnpike northbound beyond the pa turnpike, left lane being blocked as a result after accident, the outer drive. just be careful about that. if you are traveling mass transit we have suspensions detours, so want to make sure you double check whatever system it is, maybe their website, and always visit cbsphilly.com for the latest, as well, ukee? >> thank you developing right now, philadelphia police are preparing to bury one of their own killed in the line of duty. officer robert wilson iii was shot while trying to stop a robbery at a video game store.
