vehicles, spin outs, i mean, just happens. so this is toward the airport. twenty-six street at penn rose avenue before the platt bridge. you can see, plenty of snow now, but seems to be pushed off to our south, our side. plows have done excellent job, penndot, way to go. big rounds of applause for that, did you excellent job yesterday, you continue to do so today. i'm seeing you out there in the camera shot. make no mistake about it, even know the snow pushed all the way to our sidewalks, even some of your parking spaces, it is still very icy. so if you're going to head out just know that some surfaces are not treated yet. you can run the risk every spinning out. take it easy. rahel, over to you. >> good to know, meisha, thank you. nature has just about calmed down everywhere now. >> thank goodness, jersey shore, thousands of people your heart goes out no power now dreading the next high tide. we check in with jan carabeo out at sea isle city without power, rough scene out there, good morning. >> reporter: erika, rahel, good morning. yes there is storm may be in our rear-view mirror.

but here at the jersey shore straight ahead is another threat of flooding with a high tide later today. here in sea isle city officials are preparing for moderate even major flooding, when that high tide rolls in right around 8:30, and it is no surprise, because look at all of the flooding that's left hine. that's west jersey avenue, all you can see, water, and then when we walk around here, bit of dry spot, only to be confronted with another wall of water. that central avenue. this is just one example of a lot of different areas, in sea isle city this morning. the wind, you can hear it, you can see it, is still how long too. so sea isle city, office every emergency management, continues to ask people to stay indoors, not drive-thru flood waters today. sea isle city, experience flooding last night during the second high tide of this storm. could you see those icy cold pools of water run right up to businesses and homes. earlier in the day, during the first high tide, water was even seen in some areas at the top of parking meters, as chunks of ice floated down the middle of street. the mayor here is making a

strong statement about the impact. take a listen. >> i think it is worse than sandy because of the weather. the weather is cold, it is snowing, it is icy, it is raining. we've had a heck of a day today. but it is all in a day's work. >> now, the mayor will be checking out damage later this morning. we are going to catch up with him in just a few minute. in the meantime about 15,000 people in cape may county alone are still without power this morning. atlantic city electric says they'll be able to better tell you when your power could be restored starting at 7:00 this morning. back out here live in sea isle city, water watt as far as the e can see, you can hear that wind come over the microphone, every once in a while it, has been whipping at times. you can see the ripple on the flood water here. so a lot of concern about this 8:30 high tied this morning, and of course, after that, a whole lot of clean up ahead. for now, live in sea isle city, jan carabeo, cbs-3, "eyewitness news", erika, rahel, back to you. >> thank you so much, jan.

and speaking, live, we will be talking with governor christie coming up about the situation down at the shore that's coming up a little later in our broadcast, we'll have update from governor christy. meanwhile, philadelphia's mayor, jim kenney, will address the public today at 10:00 a.m. on where the city stands after the storm. meanwhile, septa re launches bus and trolley services. it may still take some time though getting around the city on public transportation. some of those bus route say may remain out of service if street conditions don't allow for it, don't want to put anyone at riskment regional rails, norristown high-speed line, also operating but if you do need to take public transportation today, built in some extra time, do expect some delays. now, philadelphia international airport, they're trying to get back to normal. it will take some time though. >> justin fin itch live at the airport for news with travelers. you spoke to some folks who can't even get out? >> reporter: rahel, erika, good morning, yes, imagine being them, their intended destination would be to orlando, eventually to the bahamas, they find themselves right now sitting inside

waiting for any detail about their next step after leaving the airport here. but take a look outside. look at this. few things missing this morning. there are no cars, no people, no curbside check in's going on here. many people have gotten the memo that the airport is now in transition mode. walking inside here, there is no one inside either. where are all of the people? as you can see here, it is virtually empty. let's take you now to video. what's happened is this: there was a grounds stop for flights yesterday, because of that big snowfall, so this is to be expected this morning. some 20 inches falling here, at the airport, so all flights here at phl were canceled after an effort to get as many passengers to and from their destinations on friday. now, today, the work begins to get those flights right back up into the air. now, the next step will be this. hundreds of staff and crew were out here over the weekend, clearing off the runway, salting, plowing, that continues a bit, we understand

this morning, but despite the effort, not all flights are getting out of here on time. airports across the country having the same problem, digging out, recovering from this storm. as you mentioned, rahel, erika, we met a family a short time ago, they're eager to get to orlando asap to get a cruise, at this hour it, appears the odds are against them. >> we were supposed to go to orlando to get a cruise ship to bahamas. but guess what? looks like the cruise ship may go without us. >> and if you are flying out this morning, your best bet is going to be to call the airport first, or the airline first, verify your plans. what we have here now are some complimentary beverages, smacks here that i may take part on later, i got away from you there, because people here are definitely in foray wait this morning. if you have shown up to the airport and you are unclear, about your flight and the status we are toll here on line your may see your flight

is on time or happening, but once you arrive here you can easily see it is not taking off or nod scheduled us a of right now. your best bet to check in early, show up to the airport, that's the latest here now, erika, rahel, back to you this morning. >> hey go, get that beverage. you de is her of it, and thanks to all of the workers up early to help the travelers, thanks. >> if you did finds out more information and all you need to know as the travel situation improves, septa, new jersey transit, the airport, it is all just a click away, go to cbsphilly.com. click on travel guide. well, the snow break is over for many. as the digging out process begins. >> oh, not a fun day for so many folks. digging mounds and mounds of snow from the side street, south philly, especially tricky, because so narrow down there. cherri gregg from sister station "kyw news radio" 1060 live at tenth and washington with the neighborhood, oh, all of the snow to clean. cherri gregg, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, rahel, erika. yes, as the sun begins to come up, you can see the renmant of yesterday's snowfall in the

light of day. and there are mounds and mounds of snow all around. there is no place to put it. as you know, the city code requires that people sort of create a three footpath way in front of their homes, businesses have to do the same, and then the plows have been coming through the street, and so there is literally wedges on both sides of the cars out here. and so that's what people are waking up to. they have to get out their shovels, though plow, find themselves a way to get in their car, warm up their car, and clear it off. we have snow everywhere. in our parking lot here, because they've been trying to clear the snow here, there are several feet of snow that's piled up. so, nearly 2-foot snowfall is going to be around most of the day. folks have been advised that if you do come out, shovel, to do it in shift. you know, take a rest, get warm, come back out, because this could be several-hour job. we saw there is a plow right

there at the end of the block, there was a bulldozer, there was literally scooping the snow up, and placing it at the end of the curb, which means that the cars that are on the very end of the street are really wedged in there. and so that could be several hours digging themselves out. and the thing is it is against city code to throw snow back in the street. you can get fined anywhere from 50 to $300. so you have to be very creative about where you are going to put the snow. a loft times it is a long that curb line. so, the city still under a state of emergency. staying in your home. clean off your cars, get ready for rush hour, because we are going to be back to business tomorrow. live in sent south philadelphia, cherri gregg, "kyw news radio" for cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> thanks so much. she bridges up good point. you want to move the snow from the sidewalk, but don't want to put it in the road for the drivers. >> so catch 22 right there. the clean up continues after the storm. >> ice, slush, and plenty of snow remains on area roadways, kyla out there, kai last what's it looking like?

>> reporter: i tell you what, it is cold, that is little windy, and we're starting to see a lot of ice on the roads. take a look at this. we will talk about road conditions when we come back. rahel? >> it is cold out, justin's forecast calling for sunshine today. but how does the rest of the week look? his forecast just ahead. having lots of devices in your home can really slow your internet down.

driveway, up to the mountains, hit it. yes, fresh at least 10 inches of snow up there, so they're to up 36 inches, they're base, about all of their trails open both at frost and big boulder. so enjoy excellent conditions up across the poconos. allentown, coming in with all-time record. with this snowstorm, 31.9 inches. their normal season is 32.9. so look at. that will almost inch away of already getting up where they should be for the time of year for the season in just one snowstorm. here in philadelphia, 22.4. that's the fourth largest snowstorm officially at the airport. check it out. storm scan3, nice and quiet. this is what we are dealing with for the next couple of of days, quiet weather as high pressure builds back in, lot of snow, exiting cape cod. that storm is long gone. still left with some cold air. because of the fresh snow on the gown, check it out. dover, delaware, 20 degrees, 19 in newark, into new jersey, kind of the same deal, upper teens, low 20's, 22 officially at the area port, chalfont, malvern, mid upper teens,

chaddsford, 15 degrees at this hour, ambler coming in in the mid teens. winds, much lighter. still some windchills down to the single digit in the cold spots. but a lot better than yesterday. notice the direction. more of north to northwest wind. this is great news for the shore. now we have that off shore wind. starting to push the water back off shore little bit. but still, look at the ocean here, running up to the dunes here, live look at rehoboth beach where it is 28 degrees. but, just by looking at the waves, if you surf you can see nice clean conditions developing indicating with those off shore winds, those will be some nice sand bars, hopefully for the next couple of month, maybe last into summer. if you like surfing, body boarding actually will like these storms, helps groom out the beaches little bit. the surf breaks. high tide, rehoboth beach coming up 7:45, still a concern. one more time here through the morning, it is in new jersey, sale deal between the 7:00 and 8:00 hour. the coastal flood warning continues until noontime. temperatures today, only around freezing, so we will get the melting in the exposed areas and the sun. tonight it gets cold again,

single digits and teens, we will see re-freezing again, black ice overnight into our monday morning, monday's highs getting above freezing, in a lot of locations, so forecast high today, 33 degrees, mostly sunny. little bit breezy specially into the morning. tonight few clouds around. very cold low of around 18 for the city. and as we head through the week, no big storm systems to talk b the exception will be tuesday, more clouds, cold front, may bring rain shower in here, nothing heavy. and then by the end of the week, still dry temperatures where they should. great news for the dig out. now we have to check, got to go get check on area roads, dig out continues, meteorologist, kyla grogan, live in the weather lab. kai last i was in there yesterday for about seven hours. and i think i left my cd in there. if you like dance music, electronic dance music, put it on. tilling you, could you have a party. you're in collingswood. yes, check it out. >> really? ya, i need some dancing music, really do, because it is so cold out here, justin, you

know, we have temperatures in the 20's, with the windchill, makes it feel a lot coldment check it out. see how slick it is here where i am. a lot of this is going to be freezing over. some of it already has. that is haddon avenue what you just saw, pretty well plowed right? take a look at this, this is one of those side roads. this is the problem. if you are waking up this morning thinking, you know you will go anywhere. >> this has not really been freshly plowed. it is snow. it is packed down, and icy, and you can see you can slide on it. and that means if you are going to be out here, you will be sliding, your car will be sliding, so you have to give these guys a chance to get out, plow the roads. it will be a while before they do. that will while you'll see the main roads looking good, this is what it looks like coming out of your driveway. this will be the tough part. the bigger problem is these temperatures are not going to allow for any melting today. i mean, 22 degrees? not going it happen this morning. and even though we've got the clear skies, it is not going to get above freezing likely today. really have to wait until

tuesday looks like for decent melt. so, my advice, and i think it is just, you know, i think anyone would give you the advice, to stay put this morning, and wait for them to get these plows out, really get these roads plowed. a loft businesses also, looking here, in collingswood, you know, trying to get their sidewalks clear, it is very icy. cold out here, sigh my breath, i don't know if you can see it, little icy, guys, we sends back to meisha a meisha, how is there, you seeing people out on the roads? not seeing a lot of people in cars good news this morning. >> well, kyla, i'll get to that in a moment. i want to knows where are your ice skates? looks like could you ice skate right around there? >> you know, i don't even need them. i can just slide i think, so icy out here. >> well, you look cute. doesn't matter when you're doing, kai last you look cute out there. all right, in terms, of answering your question, i can tell you, look, we have some early risers out there, sure, we certainly do.

usually on a sunday, a the love people want to get up early go he is those errands done before they start winding down their day. as the day goes on. getting ready nor next week ahead. so we certainly this guy, completely spin out of control just now. he literally did a donut, flew right into that embankment right there. so if anyone ever doubt philadelphia this was live coverage it, certainly is live. it is not pre taped. he went all the way into that embankment. and i can tell you right now, when i see something like that on roads like this, by the way, this is 42 freeway northbound, creek road in jersey. when you see something like that, probably traveling little less than posted speeds. and you spin out, and do a full donut like that, and then go into the embankment, that's letting you know right now how serious the conditions still are. sun start to rise, gives that you feeling like oh, no problem. we got this. i can go posted speeds. don't do that. this is why.

you are traveling on black ice right now. in fact, a truck was just off the road here, 202 northbound, before chesterbrook boulevard. and again, coming around that curve, you can see it, i don't even need to tell you. ice. traveling at posted speeds, there is speed restrictions in place for the highways, 45 miles per hour, 25 on the bridges, you're going have to go slow, even 45 miles per hour on ice, you're going to spin out, take it real slow today. rahel, wow, watching someone just do donut, you don't see that very often on live tv. >> meisha thank if you, we've been joke being it but certainly a serious situation out there on the roads. >> absolutely. >> as we've been telling you, nearly 2 feet of snow fell in philadelphia yesterday. but luckily, for most people, it was a day off. >> yes, that meant instead of cars bustling on broad street, we saw some skiers even, when we come back, we will terrible you will how center city spent the day

more, businesses have had that much in their establishments, and, you know, the clean up process, and as yesterday i said that this was worse than sandy. it was because of the time of the year. i mean, we were dealing with snow, strong winds, rain, you know, everything that could you imagine, we had yesterday here in sea isle city. and of course the region. >> the latest from sea isle city, erika, rahel, back to you. >> so much work to be done. hope we get it all back soon. after the storm comes the massive clean up. many resident out shoveling sidewalks, and digging out their cars, oh, ya. >> our cherri gregg from sister station "kyw news radio" 106 off in south philadelphia with their work cut out for them, 4 feet snow drifts? good morning. >> reporter: yes, some of the smaller streets because of the

way that the snow has sort of blown off the tops of buildings. the ad venture has already gun. dennis and my photographer were here as they tried it dig them st zest out, philadelphia, folks had to clear their sidewalks, 3 feet past, the plows had been through and cars are wedged in. we had a chance to talk to a group every folks who spent over ten minutes, four of them, all working together, digging out their car. but this only took ten minutes because they spent a lot of time yesterday prepping their car. so it is a three part process. first do you have shovel your car off. then you have to get out. and as they try to get out, the wheels started spinning. and the third part of course is hoping and praying that your space is there when you return. let me tell you, in south philadelphia, saveies in full effect, we saw people with cones, stools, guy just got out over here, his stool

sitting right in the parking space. and i know that philadelphia police said no you can't do, that but if you spend hours digging yourself out, it is very difficult to tell people not to try to save their space. at least for a short period of time. but of course, there is really no where to put all of this snow. so, what you are going to see as these huge piles of snow at the end of every street. with a we had is bulldozers, come through here earlier, and they were literally scooping the snow up, and putting at the end of every block, so if you're located at the end of the block, you should probably come on out today. and do it in shift. sort of dig yourself out little bit, go in the house, have some hot chocolatement warm your hands out, come on back out. >> this could be a full day process, meantime, stay off the roads, so the plows can do do their jobs and get you ready for monday morning, liver in south philadelphia, cherri gregg, "kyw news radio" for cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> all right, cherry, thank you will. still a lot of work to do but thankfully this happened on a weaken. can you imagine? >> if it was monday or tuesday, different story.

your 17th snow emergency, you know what to do. how is the state looking this morning? >> thanks for having me this morning, the state is looking very, very good this morning. we've come through the storm really well, from hard work from our dedicated public work, of the let's start off with the roads. the roads, all of the major state highways in new jersey are clear. just now wet, and maybe a little bit slippery. so be careful about the ice, we've kept on the 35-mile per hour speed limit on the atlantic city expressway, the new jersey turnpike, and the garden state parkway. probably lift that a little later this afternoon. we only have 22,000 customers without power from high of 100,000 earlier yesterday. most of those atlantic and cape may counties, about 18,000 of them. atlantic city electric says they'll have those back on by the end of the day today. 90% of them. so, those custom letters get relief during the day today. only about 4,000 in the central part of the state, and those should be back up and running this afternoon. and, you know, looking at

flooding down in the southern part of the state, atlantic, cape may, just been moderate this morning on the high tide. so from that perspective i think it has really been nothing more than normal nor'easter in terms of the flooding. we only had to shelter 113 people total state-wide. so so far so good. things are looking good in the garden state. feeling like we've been digging out of this one. but a loft snow out therefore folks to move. everybody be careful today. it is cold, as they start to move that snow around the houses, clearing walkways, sidewalks, and driveways, be careful, it is very heavy snow. >> good information there. governor christie, you mentioned yesterday that the damage at the shore underlines the need for sand dunes. can you tell us a little more about that? >> sure. because what you see here, and this was nothing like hurricane sandy. this was a normal casino of winter nor'easter. yet, you saw the kind of flooding, especially in a town like margate, that's resisting the dunes that want to be built because of this, the

personal private interests of just the small handful of homeowners. you know, the need tore in this is as these storms get more and more intense, not only protect the people on the beachfront, just as importantly, it is about stopping that water at the beachfront so it doesn't invade the rest of the town. and so, in place like point pleasant beach, bay head, margate, which is are the three major towns, only ones left that are opposing these do you know project by hiring lawyers, and trying to go to court, what it is doing it is really hurting the safety and security of their neighbors and putting their own personal interests for their views and et cetera, ahead of the interest of the people in the safety of the people in their neighborhoods and in their towns. >> now, just also heard from the mayor of sea isle city that their dunes did holdup. so some great news there. governor, comparing this to storms in the past, how would you say the response has been? >> i think the response has been as good as i've seen

since i've been governor. because of the amount of snow, you are talking about a foot and a half, 2 feet, in your viewing area, inland, and about a foot to foot and a half at the jersey shore. and up here in north jersey, you had two to two and a half feet of snow. and we're still, which just stopped falling in north jersey last night at about 10:00. yet here we are, eight hours, nine hours, later, where we've got all of the roads cleared, and people being able to move around the state, in a relatively unimpeded way on the state highway. so 3800 pieces of equipment out on the roadways, by the department of transportation, and i have to say, to the men and women who did that work all through the night last night, i hope them get good night's sleep tonight. they did a great job. >> well weed oar of the. governor christie, we appreciate you being with us this morning, thank you. >> thank you for keeping everybody informed and help keep everybody off the roads and safe. we appreciate your help. >> thanks so much. >> and the news continues

after this break with an update on the traffic gridlock on the pennsylvania turnpike. >> we'll be right back.

good sunday morning. clean up begins today. that will weekend storm may be gone, but we are still feeling its effect. in south philly you see the snow piled up. oh, cars to dig out right now. >> from the city to the shore, the winter whallop sent water from the bay flooding into shore communities. we have a live look at hard hit sea isle city coming
