take in and use as a gauge. our high technically should hit 31, cold enough right despite sunshine but you have to factor in that wind and it makes it feel so much colder. >> the the wind and wind chill can make all of the difference between dangerous and survivable. wind chill will play a factor, wind playing a factor this morning, also more dangerous the black ice. we have some construction eastbound vine before broad, two left lanes are block. we are looking in the eastbound direction all that, that is your backup camera. that is moving toward broad street, where the the construction starts and you are almost squeeze nothing to single will file line. it is very busy. we also have a accident in warrington as we back out of the way to take a look at this overturned trash truck due to i want to stress this due to that ice. you might not be able to see it but it is certainly on the roadway. 202 closed between bristol and limekiln pike. you have to use an alternate around this area for quite sometime. i would suggest lower state

garbage. that's the budget passed by the republican legislature in harrisburg. it's unfunded, unbalanced and unconscionable.

it'll balloon the deficit. and cuts education by $95 million dollars. causing governments to raise property taxes. all while protecting the gas industry by refusing to make them pay their fair share. call your legislator. tell them to fund education, stop the deficit from ballooning out of control, and build a better future for pennsylvania.

another blast of winter is upon us. >> but the the big question is, is your car ready for the cold. meisha has her minnesota gear on talking about how this bitter blast can have a strain on your car and battery. hi there meisha. >> we will be talking about those measures in just a minute but first i wanting to live outside. we have a live chopper shot over an accident we are seeing in warrington. 202, both directions, this direction is closed between bristol and limekiln pike because of an overturn, trash truck, due to that ice. we are dealing with black ice. take it easy, drive safe and use an alternate such as lower

state road. that will be your best bet, right now. >> then, coming back, speaking of traffic, one of the things that we know, in these winter months, is that it can get brutal. it is very important that we keep our cartoon up the best we can and of course, we're standing next to our good friends, and, car care expert. so, the first thing, when these cold months hit, when we get something like, last week when it hits us out of no where, i can only imagine those calls went through the roof at triple a. >> they did. this is time to definitely take the cold as a warning to winter ice. the last week we saw over 3,000 battery and tire calls coming in the philadelphia just here in the philadelphia five county area and that accounted for half of the calls first three days of last week. >> and, it is cold, and when it comes to our battery what

are warning signs maybe our battery is starting to fail us in the cold. >> grinding or clicking noise just trying to start vehicle. if you have slow cranking engine starting the vehicle will or lights dimming sitting idle and ref engine's they brighten up good indication you may have a battery failure at hand. >> i called triple a our friend for a reason. i understand you are giving out free battery checks at certain locations. talk about that. >> you can visit triple a.com and find the nearest center near you, triple a car care center. we do a triple a battery test. the fast, easy and very convenient for our consumers. >> this can be a life safer for many of us. the literal willly in the winter we need to necessity what we can do to help our cars. a aside from the battery chain what else can we do to keep our car winter ready. >> we definitely want to have an emergency kit in the back of your car. nobody ever plans to get stranded or stuck in traffic. it may not be your break down

but residual traffic from black ice accident, crash situation, or snowstorm. >> yes, we have got emergency kit. we are going to touch base on that further but there are other things beside battery that we can do to keep our car in tip-top shape. >> in the cold winter months and hot summer months you will want to make sure your tire pressure is accurate because cold causes you to lose tire pressure. you want to keep your car clean. all of the brine as i noticed it this morning the salt on the road you want have to have your car washed and get that off the under carriage an inside of your car so it does not corrode things. >> as you said that emergency kitties so important. i heard kitty litter might be a good thing to have. >> you will want to have city litter or rock salt in the back have of your car, you might need traction in a icy situation, blankets, extra gloves, extra hats, gloves, scarves, those kind of things and things that you would think for snow, deicer, ice

scraper, portable shovel, your jumper cables, flashlights, maybe some heat warmers, those kind of things. >> maybe something thermal, just they in a thermal sweat shirt. >> definitely a external battery source for your cell phone. if you are stuck in traffic for hours at the a time you do in the want to keep your car running and keep a power sours to communicate. >> jane and jose, we know it is early, cold but our cars is topic number one in the cold winter months during a cold blast. all right, guys, you heard from the car care experts. get your battery check out. ladies, new back to you. >> get that big old blanket the for trunk. >> i got to clear out my trunk and make some space. >> lets talk to kate bye this cold weather, katie. belong it you can plug in your car charger. it is amazing. they are not that expensive. worth a look on line on the

worldwide web. go check it out. that is an inside joke. storm scan three, lets look first and foremost, clipper system long gone. we have lake enhanced snow still flying off the shore in lake erie and ontario. we will see skies clear but the the chill set in because of this. we have a west northwest breeze, not the that strong out of rehoboth but we are at 23 degrees at boardwalk plaza. not surprising that the sunnies not up but it us because it is so cold we will in the fine too much traffic in the live neighborhood network. the at the moment these are air temperatures. even though you got a gauge it and dress for temperatures in the teens, and even single digits, reason i show you this is because it is, below freezing, every where. so if you find a damp spot on the road or sidewalk it isized over. it doesn't matter where you are. keep that in mine. that said kid going out to the school bus you are waiting for a train to the platform. we gave a school day forecast i grade of c despite the return of sun it will be very

harsh outside. by 3c p.m. that is best you can hope for on the thermometer, 31 degrees. that is, below average but cold enough. we don't even hit freezing mark but factoring in the breeze feels more like teens as we said thankfully thermometer eases up by the weekend, stay there we will be right back.

...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for

vaccines and autism but that has been widely discredited. others thanked the new dad for making the the the statement. it is not clear if mark zuckerberg planned to make a statement on vaccines but in the past he has addressed the issue saying the science is completely clear, vaccines work and they are important for the health of everyone in our community. andrew spencer for cbs news. divisive issue. >> it is a hot button issue but you can post whatever you want to your facebook page, no matter how are. coming up next, on "eyewitness news" president obama delivers his final state of the union. >> that is why i stand here as confident, as i have ever been that the the state of our union is strong. political an list phil rosenberg will be here town to about the president's speech and what it means for the rest of his term, meisha. >> we have got construction on the eastbound vine causing slow downs for those of you and accidents. we will have updates coming up

good morning, brace yourself for some bone, chilling temperatures. it is very windy, and very, very cold. taking a live look from our camera at historic hotel bethlehem, you can see flags waving there but overnight my gosh, i was woken up by the win. it was so strong. we have damage hitting the road. >> i know meisha will cover that plus my bottom line is if it looks wet it hassized over. every temperature every where is under freezing right now f there was a damp road left behind let's give you a sense of what it looks like today. temperatures below freezing. watch for slick roads, bridges, overpasses, anything untreated. please use caution. the here's how it feels right now.

this is best gauge, it feels like single digits across the board. little less harsh to the shore points, but again, it is cold outside. despite that return of sun we don't hit freezing mark in philadelphia a. you have to factor in the wind today, meisha over to you. >> it is hurting us on the roadways, good morning, not the bearer of good news, a pol guys about that. here's live chopper three over an accident in warrington an overturn trash truck due to that ice. that is the the main theme i want you to take away, very slippery. 202 slowed both directions between bristol and limekiln pike. use an alternate. right now that alternate will be lower state road. so, overall, leave your homes early and drive carefully. we will have update in a little bit. nicole, back over to you. president obama gave an updated prognosis in the final state of the union address. >> he pressed for common ground on criminal justice reform and we side joe by tone lead a new push to fight

cancer. the vice-president lost his son beau to brain cancer last year. the president also pushed back against republican critics who say the country nissan economic decline and that the country is getting weaker. >> i told you earlier all of the talk of america's economic decline is, political hot air. well, so is all of the rhetoric you hear about our enemies getting stronger and america getting weaker. i mean let me tell you something, the united states of america is the most powerful nation on earth, period. >> south carolina governor nicki haley delivered the republican response, while criticizing the president, she also warned g.o.p. candidates and their supporters against taking a hard line stand in immigration. >> during anxious times it can be tempt to go follow the siren call of the most angry voices. we must resist that temptation. no one who is willing to work

hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions, should ever feel unwelcomed in this country. >> the president will travel to omaha and then baton rouge, both cities have seen unemployment rate drops in recent years. >> there has been reaction to the final state of the union address. >> here to break it down for us we have political analyst and professor of political science at drexel university bill rosenberg who joins us after these big speeches. bill, thanks for joining us. >> good morning it seemed like it was more big tikes then policy big what would you say the big message was last night. >> i think it is trying to share with the american public and rest of the world the realities, not to be so confused about isis launching some small attacks, but recognizing that where we are in terms of the being a world power, both militarily and economically. >> we had heard it would be a different kind of speech, non-traditional speech. do you find this to be true and how do you think it was different.

>> absolutely. i think last night one of the things that was quite telling that was obviously everyone knows that vice-president biden had a tragedy with regard to cancer and his son. the the president tossed him this position as being sort of azar in chief for a moon shot dealing with cancer but there was no follow-up, there was no budget associated with it. it was more symbolic thing rather than a actual launching of something new. we have to realize the budget has been set. so there wasn't much that the president could do except maybe identify a couple programs or policies and lump those dollars together. >> i want to talk about the republican response, governor nicki haley giving the republican response to the speech and highlight these candidates that they are trying to highly marco rubio in the past and governor haley echoed one of the president obama's messages. what was her message. >> the use of nicki haley was extraordinary. the republicans decide that had they wanted to stake their

ground. they use hail any a soft power way to diminish in a sense people like ted cruz, and chris christie and donald trump, she basically gave a perspective that was sort of the main stream old school republican party, rather than the anti government sort of message that many of the leading candidate are pushing today. >> bill, the president of course in his final year in office, same congress though, how difficult do you think it will be to accomplish some of the goals he has outlined here at least in the new year. >> reality as president obama has had a very tough seven years up until now. congress has not been willing to work with him on many issues and he, also is sometimes in the willing to work with congress because they weren't given the deal that he wanted. now he is sort of the lame duck. he last night gave his second to the last major speech. he will will talk at

democratic national convention but this was launch pad for democrats going into the the 2016 elections. >> bill rosenberg, thanks for joining us for that analysis? bill, thanks. >> thanks. >> new jersey governor chris christie back on the campaign trail in new hampshire today. >> he dropped by the state house in trenton yesterday to deliver his state of the the state address and took credit for progress in camden. >> in camden, once the most violent city in america the murder rate has dropped 52 percent in the last three years with marriedd we transformed the police force. >> the governor touted his record for job creation and tax relief, and stood his ground against democrats who want constitutionally mandated state pension payments but many sounded more like a presidential candidate then their governor. >> we got a speech that i really don't think that was geared toward new jersey. what i think was most

unprofessional thing was the the comment about the president. >> that comment was what christie said he thought the president had failed the country. switching gears to sports and the eagles coaching search has been on hold for a daze while own are jeffery lurie attended owners meeting in houston. so far bird interviewed six possible replacement for chip kelly including two time super bowl champion tom coughlin and eagles offensive coordinator pat shurmur. one thing to come is the rams are going back to los angeles and it end nfl's 21 year absence from the second largest media market in the u.s. san diego chargers will have an option to share in the rams new stadium and if they don't want to do that raiders will get a shot at it the as well. rams moved from los angeles to st. louis in 1994. >> now two football teams. >> surprising. still ahead, star bucks secret menu revealed for valentines day. >> very romantic. >> are you dreaming of winning the power ball? i think everybody is, right

fast, hard from allentown to lancaster county. also during yesterday's evening rush. poor timing. poor visibility along the pennsylvania turnpike made driving pretty slow. >> we have been waiting for them to come, i'm mad that they are here. >> i hate the the snow. >> penndot says salt barns are full and they are ready for whatever mother nature has in store this winter. take a look at this eyewitness cam video from berks county, in reading enough snow fell to cover this parking lot. you see tire marks there in the freshly fallen snow there. it is sight we have not seen yet this season. >> it is always trickyes when you see ice for the first time. >> it is true. >> so often it is these small systems that make you sort of forget the fact that it could be dicey out there. when we have a big snowdrift in front of you, you will get slowed down but these whimpy systems that can end up being the most harsh in terms of the travel issues as well, as just to see it really cold today.

as we go to the weather watcher network we have before and after to show you here. this is snow squall that came in from chestnut hill last night that came courtesy of phil chapline. here's how it looks this morning. the it looks like a sheen on the road surface. meisha will talk about this too. if it looks wet it is frozen this morning. that is what you have to war bit watch for that black ice and first snowfall did pretty well in berks county, this came in from rick in both he will, pa where we have enough that it is covering the hood of the car here where he is located. another shot of a beautiful moon, crescent moon last night from peter planta. i a gold star weather watcher, and from lynn springer. the list goes on, where we have seen our fair share of snow. it didn't really amount to much. looking quickly at the area temperatures, this says it all in at glenn ed reports 18. andy is in dover where it is 23. and the thing is, these are

the thermal test readings. it feels colder then this, because we have got the wind to contend w the let's go next to what we're dealing with this time of the year. typically this is the coldest time of our year where we are seeing average up to 40 degrees, and average down to 25 overnight. that overnight low tonight looks pretty seasonal, but it is not even going to hit the the freezing mark here today. in the meantime very quickly we have moisture starting to brew across the the gulf of mexico, new system moving across the rockies, and come joining up with this piece and by the end of the the week we will end up with our next complex storm system. as we look to the eyewitness weather seven day forecast specifically friday night, lead nothing to sat the day, we're worried about the next round of mainly rain but because it comes overnight, far north and west of the city you might see snow. we will keep you posted if that should be a real threat, meisha. >> i know that rain can turn into ice we are dealing with black ice this morning. what we are looking at is a

shot of an accident in warrington overturned trash truck due to that ice. 202 both directions is closed between bristol and limekiln pike. use an alternate such as lower state road, right in this area. we have an accident here county line road at kings ton way. let me back out of your way. just a sea of taillights trying to maneuver around get this cleared out of the way. another accident involving injuries in three to four vehicles in column mar, county line road closed between walnut and richardson. use an alternate here as well. the bethlehem pike will be your best bet and also the vine what you are seeing is construction right before broad street you are down to a single line and two left lanes are blocked. everyone trying to maneuver around this construction because it is causing major delays for those taking the the vine. if you have to go around the roadways start your cars early, drive, drive slow and give yourself couple extra minutes, nicole, back over to you. lottery players in our area waking up, hopeful this
