8 degrees for her. we zero in on one of these, 11 came in from robert stewart, couple every clouds out in clementon. live this in his comments, not fit foreman nor beast outside. scan nel little rudolph red knows reindeer. quick glance at some of the temperatures coming in, eileen's observation, 14 for peter in lawrenceville, phil in philly i, specifically chestnut hill at 16 degrees, jason mid he will town delaware, 12, he had ned chesterfield, 10 degrees, list goes on into the teens from john in perkasie, journey kop, lynn in cherry hill and robert as we just showed you out in clementon. so nice cold beginning to the morning. that said, anything, anything that's had a chance to melt from yesterday, has long since had a chance to refreeze. how much do we actually end up with? the numbers were impressive. out of the storm system, we pick up solid 22.4 inches, from the monster that rolled through here over the weekend. last year, the entire season, we 27 inches.

so doing pretty well. thus far this year, we have only had beyond that 22.4, just a half inch that fell. so, this is definitely where the bulk of the precipitation has come from, or snow specifically, so far this season. all is calm and collected when nice large dome of high pressure right now in place. so going to see some sunshine here throughout the day. eventually though disturbance is going to cross in, that will bring us our next shot for wet weather. so as we look forward in the eyewitness weather seven day forecast, very minor roller coaster ride, temperatures here, tomorrow is when the next disturbance comes along t does bring in precipitation, just rain showers the expectation, because it comes in the afternoon. there may be lingering shower come wednesday morning. nothing more than that. and then by friday, we are watching an area of low pressure develop off the southeast coastline. depending on final track it may be a little bit after concern for us, but right now i don't want to sounds the alarm yet, only calling for the potential of snow shower, or flurry at worse, and that would be on friday. meisha, a over to you.

could cause real issues. so far though just the spin out crash we are dealing with right now, they are load that up, trying to get it out of the way, volume all levels still pretty light in the area. so far so good. king of prussia, 202, tail light moving in the northbound direction, at the schuylkill, again, just showing you how much snow is still out there. the good thing is on our major interstates and highways, most of it now all getting cleared out of the way. just those side streets that we're having issues with, we do have accident west grove, route one near jennersville road, still out there. so make note of. that will also in the world of mass transit, septa off to slow start, but looks like the septa regional rails are restored, septa buses and trolleys restored. new jersey transit is cross-honoring patco and amtrak running special modified schedulesment as i always say, check your skills always on line, they are ever changing, erika, back over to you. >> specially on days like today, thank if you. superbowl less than two weeks away, now we know who will be playing in the big game. we start with the afc title game. >> this one real a nail biter. defending champion patriots were down eight to the
