off to snowy start. lets get right to kate toy see how much snow we can expected to. >> jim, system decided it will be a sneaky bug err, actually over achieving in terms of what we had originally expected out of it, throwing a loft moisture in. and it looks like it will hang out for about the same timing that we had originally expected, but so much moisture, and now, a bit further after westward edge to this. means that we have our expectations somewhat. not terrible. but it is enough that, again, the time something everything here. coming at a bad time. it will mess with us. storm scan looks i would say frankly a lot worse than it actually s it looks like heavy pounding snow it is the wet snow variety, sort every just melts on contact on the roads, and generally speaking here you won't have too much accumulation on the roads unless it is untreated but it does mess with your visibility out there. and, it will eventually just because it is coming down so heavily see modest accumulation, but winter weather advisory posted for at least these counties in southeastern pennsylvania, most new jersey, all of

delaware, until 10:00 for the city and vicinity, and up until noon down toward the shore. simply because you have this hanging around for few additional hours. part of the reason you might see to up 4 inches near the shore towns, again, notice the little lower left hand box, may mainly on grassy surfaces coating to 2 inches out toward i95. what can you expect? call it heavy wet snow. heavy simply because it is that heavier r more like wet snow, not the life fluffy snow, but won't accumulate heavily. slow travel, slick spots, you bet you. not necessarily icy, but poor visibility certainly going to be a problem, and any time there is wet weather just automatically slows you down. then this afternoon, it is all gone. it is like it never happened. although you are still going to have some damp weather or damp roads i should say left behind which could refreeze tonight. temperatures, they're marginal with freezing right now along i95, but it is cold enough. that you are going to see those heavy wet snowflakes falling out there. and it lasts us right through the typical morning drive.

so, no break, or no rest for the weary any time soon here, meisha arc but at least toward the afternoon. we actually should get in on some sunshine. so quick hitter, but, ya, little stinker of a storm. just saying. >> sure is, kind of creeped up on us, lingering through the morning commute. but the good news it is going to get out of our way for even commute. that's great news for a fridayment we just want to end on a good note. we want to get through the morning commute. right now things looking okay, starting to see more headlight, more tail light, even early 4:00 hour, helping you know a lot of people want to get jump start because they know and dealing with wet roadways, can slow you down. ninety-five south at cottman, what you are looking at, not looking too bad, but when we consider it is only 5:00 a.m., a lot of vehicles out there already, and that's not bad idea. blue route northbound before route one, see the droplet on the camera letting you know it is wet in the areas we are seeing the snow come down, coming down very hard, leaving you with the visibility issue, as well, so drive slow. give yourself little space from the car in front of you.

westbound toward philly on the ben franklin bridge, you can see, zoomed in on that speed censors, showing you 35 miles per hour. speaking of which, we do have a speed restriction in play on all of the bridges. for the most part. these four, ben franklin, betsy ross, walt whitman and the comador barry bridge down to 35 miles per hour there. also, some construction the ramps delaware avenue closed. this will be closed until february 24th. so for those of how use this ramp you just want to make make note that's closed almost all month, all month of february. we do have this downed tree also west bradford township glennside road all lanes still blocked. you're going have to use an alternate, the long drive would be my suggestion, back to you. >> thank you, meisha keeping the eye on the roads for us and road crews meanwhile working over time to keep the roads safe. >> "eyewitness news" reporter just ten finch liver at the penndot salt yard in south philadelphia, where crews are busy. justin? >> jim, erika, they've been out on the roads for at least more than an hour now that we've seen them. they left here earlier awful of salt. and moving very quickly on to

the roadways. i want to show you how this stuff is coming down here. as it hits my jacket, there, you are seeing it, there is some ice there, some snowflakes there, it is kind of melting on contact. i have been inside. so perhaps that's why. and then look here at the ground. they did drop some salt here, as they make their way up as you can see, it is melting, it appears, on contact here on the roadways, we are seeing some puddles, some water form, but no accumulation sticking to the ground as of right now. looking above on the overpass, here, 95, the flakes are falling, there in the light, you see moving there in the light there, traffic also moving on the highway there. this is a good sign, showing us, here, the roads are passable, and are okay at this point. but in conditions like this, you do want to be safe. let's show you now those trucks, as they were heading out this morning. the trucks were lined up here on the street here, leaving the salt yard, awful of salt to head out and take care of the road for your commute this morning. the penndot crews working to get early start on this thing to get the roads treated as

the conditions changed throughout the day. of course, in conditions like there is you still want to be see those trucks out on the road, remember, to keep your distance, as they do their jobs, it is not a very easy one, specially, as traffic builds up on the roads throughout the day. back out live, i do want to show you that the tractors are here, wait to go reload these trucks as they return, as they have the need to replentish their supply. but so far, they are working on the situation here, as you are going out this morning. you still want to be safe and, again, mindful of these trucks, as they're out there treating the roadways. jim, erika, back over to you. >> good reminder to give them that space on the road. >> indeed. now, we cross the delaware into south jersey, which is supposed to get more snow. >> our jan carabeo in the cbs-3 mobile weather lab cruising all around in moorestown, any change there, jan? >> reporter: erika, jim, good morning, casino every seeing this same thing. we've made our way from

philadelphia, across the ben franklin bridge, into south jersey, we took route 30, route 38, and this is what we've been seeing all along the way. yes, we are seeing this wet, heavy snowfall. but it is not sticking on the gown. you can see, just offer to the right of your screen, where it is sticking. it is sticking on parked cars, and on grass, and on people's front yards. but, fortunately, for drivers early this morning, it is not sticking on the roadway. you can see, here, in downtown moorestown, this morning, this is main street, looking pretty darn good. yes, this wet heavy snow falling, but as soon as it hits, that warmer pavement, it is just turning right into water, it is melting right away. so, you are seeing that shine on the road of course, there is moisture out here, but the good news for these early morning drivers is that it is not really creating any problem for drivers, because it is not snow accumulation. with that said, what katie and meisha and what everyone has been saying this morning, just because you might not be seeing this, accumulation every snow, you still want to take it easy because you might

have some other problems out here this morning. but yep, making our way from philly, to south jersey, we're going to be going around to camden and gloucester and the burlington county areas where we are expecting some more accumulation, we will be showing the changing conditions right now, for you, early birds, you're not looking too bad right now. but definately, still keep in mind they have wet conditions out here. keep your eyes and your hand right on the wheels real tightly. for now liver in the cbs-3 mobile weather lab this morning. in moorestown, jan carabeo, cbs-3, "eyewitness news", erika, jim, back to you. >> thanks, jan. >> and if you don't have the cbs-3 philly weather app now is a great time to get it to your phone, check the radar and updated forecast from katie and the rest every our meteorologist, download the app on itunes and google play. >> now, in other news, there is a lot of questions among residents in one south philly neighborhood. after homeland security and i am graduation officials raid add house on their block. undercover agent spent hours yesterday, removing evidence from a house in the 1300 block

every ellsworth street. neighbors say the two people questioned and removed from the house lived there for about ten years. >> you never know. you could live in this area all your life, and never know what's going on. >> okay. >> so it is surprising. >> now, authorities won't comment on the raid, except to say, it is part of a ongoing investigation. happening today, a judge is set to decide if philly rapper meek mills should go back to jail for violating probation. the 28 year old whose real name is robert williams, ignored travel restrictions, and other rules, set by the judge after a drug and gun conviction in 2009. the judge has said that she would take testimony from mills' girlfriend, nicky minaj, into consideration at today's sentencing. >> well the gloves came off at the democratic debate in new hampshire, both bernie sanders and hillary clinton raised eyebrows as they target the each other in their first one-on-one debate. >> being part of the establishment is, is in the last quarter, having super

pack that raised $15 million from wall street, that throughout one's life raised a whole lot of money from the drug companies and either special interests. >> i absolutely reject that, senator, and i really don't think these kind of attacks by insinuation are worthy of you. >> m enough is enough. >> 5:09. right now, we are keeping our eye on this storm for you. >> the snow is falling, and the roads are wet this morning. we'll update traffic and weather together and katie lets you know when the snow will stop. pat? >> winning bowl 24, here at the wells fargo sent, all of the craziness, all of the insanity will start very soon. we'll have up a date whether we come back.

good morning. >> they stuck me in a cage, why wouldn't they? it is wing bowl. you guys know today february 25th is national working naked day? i swear, can't make these things up, but that's perfect because wing bowl, anything happens here at the wells fargo center. anything will happen once the contestant roll their way in in about 45 minutes or so. they'll start making their way toward the stage. as you can see on this side, the cage, over here is the stage, where everything will go down, and it will be going down fast and furiously, as time moves on this morning. so, as we go on today, we will be talking with angelo cataldi, rhea hughes, all every these guys, from 94wip. but this guy right here, his name is brian cole, brian, standing here silently right now, brian, but the promotions director for wip, the man responsible for this program. brian, how much goes into wing

bowl 24? >> we got our first contestant back in july. and ever since then we've been running onto crazy stunt, and here we are. >> so what's this day like for you? because i've heard that it is like 30 hours non-stop. no one sleeps. is this true? >> i've been up since 5:30 yesterday. i won't be going to sleep until probably later this afternoon. it will be a long day. >> is that normal? is that normal for a take lie this? >> only way to get through a wing bowl, no sleep. >> you get here, get it in. >> so 30 contestant. how many wings? give us some stats from wing bowl? >> i would would say pj wheelihan's prepares around 10,000 wings. we don't know how many they'll eat this year. last, 444, another 441, totally unpredictable. they're both gunning g -- gunning for 500. what do you get for 500? >> overall winner gets harley davidson, they get $10,000 from steve steven singer jewelers, and then if they get

the 500 wings they get an extra two grand. >> incentive to push to the limit and get the little bit. >> so un predict, mayhem there is guy, all his fault, it is brian cole. thanks, brother. enjoy the day, man. brian cole from 94wip. he is the man responsible for all of this. we got the band. we got the objection gone, ladies will be coming in soon, of course, the eaters will be here right around 6:45, we will keep you updated all morning long. jim, erika? >> oh, wow. okay, 500 wings, pat, that's a lot. we know that pat polish off three in a competition, jim, how many do you think you can polish off? >> oh, four, ya. give me a bowl of pasta. >> there go. i like that. well, snow unfortunately could make it little difficult to get to wing bowl. i know pat had mentioned at the parking lot wasn't as pack this morning. >> and katie has her eye on the storm in the weather sent. what's it look like? >> indeed. the radar definitely looks menacing for sure. we do have a lot of moisture getting thrown back on shore right now, with this

disturbance, it was attributing i little system. until we could see it on the radar, we couldn't tell you where the back edge cut off would be. now it looks as though many of russ getting in on that snow originally, jersey shore issue, not so much any more. with every passing model run, finally by the time this thing decided to develop, it showed us it hands, basically, and here it is, brinking in what looks to be some very heavy snow, right? across new jersey and delaware. even into philadelphia. that said, we do still have relatively warmer ground, specifically, on paved surfaces. so, even though this is falling down, furiously, as heavy wet sort of the big fat flakes as opposed to the light fluffy stuff, you are not going to be seeing too much of this actually stick and accumulate, especially not on road surfaces, windshield, yes, grass, yes. but only dust to go inch or

two in philadelphia and vicinitiment it will be tapering later this morning for you here. look at the future snow amount, expect to go eventually see these pick up in intensity here specially down toward some of the shore towns. we put things into motion for you here in the future snow amount, at least with the model run, maybe over achieving in atlantic city at 5 inches, general, coating to inch or two, philadelphia 1.1. there you have it. we will see this sort of gradient form where it gets lighter and lighter the further northwest you travel. and the further northwest you travel the bet r your commute will be when it comes to visible. take a look between eight to 10-mile visibility right now, in the lehigh valley, and toward central pennsylvania, but it does dramatically drop off once you get into the heavier precipitation. heck you can barely see your hand in front of your face in wildwood. that said, watch for poor visibility. definitely wet roads, snow to fall primarily accumulate on unpaved surfaces but it will trip you up regardless. don't get too cocky. when you go outside see it is not on the roads it will be a slow drive. these are the systems that can

lead to some of the worse conditions on the roads. people think they can handle t be smart about it, guys, mostly clear tonight, chilly, that does mean we might see refreeze take place. and then the weekend superbowl weekend not looking bad at all. we get some sunshine for you. by monday night fresh round of snow showers on the way, meisha? >> so true, just because it is not turning to black ice, you certainly have to use your best discretion. it is still very wet out there, snow coming down. not so much accumulating like katie pointed out, but it is making for a very wet drive. i can tell you already, taking peaks in the 4:00 hour, now in the 5:00 hour, things certainly heating up. i would say little quicker than what we normally see. now what we are looking at right now the schuylkill eastbound, at city avenue, eastbound direction is right here, the tail light, looking okay. but if we look just past the trees, you can see, moving in the westbound direction, this is many coming off the roosevelt boulevard in the southbound direction, then you hop on the schuylkill.

>> this have low you down, wed roadways, now also visibility issues. we can see evidence by the camera shot seeing a lot of brake light go off already. >> route one northbound pulled out to the right lane, i'll circle it for you here, see the flashing light, normally this wouldn't be any big deal, an accident, it is still early in bucks county, route one northbound at route 213, when we have slick conditions, visibility issues and snow coming down, it only takes one person to see the flashing lights. >> it can cause problems out there. for the most part give yourself couple of extra minutes, we just have to get through this morning commute then we can enjoy our friday, jim, over to you. >> philly pops are playing tribute to carol king this weekend. >> i love her. sneak of the big performance. katie and i try to sing one of our favorite. you don't want to miss this.
