that feels like good idea. let's talk snow amounts, guys. and i'll show you short list first and for most, and how much we've seen, so far today. and as you saw in the morning minute, what you basically got out there now is what you are going to end up with for snowfall totals, and they really did verify according to plan. take a look, king of prussia, two and a half inches, 2 inches even in at glenn. hokessing pick up just over an inch asomugha did met forwards, here in philly yes, your coating, just shy of inch at .9 of an inch. here is a look at storm scan, one more look for you, all of the winter weather advisory now expired. we are starting to clear out. still decent cloud deck above. we'll start to see that even start to thin with time. it is just that aftermath. that will be contending with out here today. so, coming up we will have a lot more advice on how to navigate all of this from all of the wonderful crews out in the field and also meisha. but here's what you can expect the rest of the day, skies begin to clear, left with some clouds, certainly, but it is a chill that sticks around poor than anything that you will notice. high hits 36 degrees after

all. and coming up we are specking pretty significant blast of cold. where we don't reach even the freezing mark, throughout the entire weekend. early morning lows, bottom out in the teens, then you have got to factor in very blustery condition, conditions, especially sunday. that will lead to single digit windchill values. and at least early on at some point during the weekend, so cold is here. it is here to stay. and believe it or not, meisha, about to get little bit worse before it can get better. >> oh, that's great news, katie. thanks for that. good morning, everyone, happy friday. well, a lot of people must have heeded that warning to leave little early. because what we saw in the 4:00 and 5:00 hour actually some of the worse we've seen all morning, what we are looking at right now the schuylkill westbound at city avenue. and i have to tell you, not looking that bad. of course, we can see the slick roadways, we can see the snow, piled up on the side of the road. colds out there. a lot of the stuff melt something then refreezing on to the schuylkill. so of course it is very slick, supposed to take it ice, i

would still say give yourself extra time this morning. look at this, joan that i while you have it. it will change in the 7:00 hour. no doubt about it, but for friday morning, we had the snowfall overnight, like katie said, now moved out. would you think would be busier than. that will we did see heavy volume levels, not to mention slow downs, accidents, earlier this morning. so overall, the schuylkill looking okay. delaware county nine the a north at 452, take this all the way up to the airport, what you are looking at not too bad. looking busy. we are traveling less than posted speeds just because we have to, and that's a smart thing. accident cleared here route 309. won't spends too much time on. that will this accident, overturned truck with injuries and entrapment, arch at 15th street, 15th street closed between race street and jfk boulevard. seventeenth and broad your best alternate. back to you. >> let's get one last check on what's going on in collingswood, new jersey. >> our meteorologist, lauren casey, has been there all morning long, giving us a look at the conditions, lauren, also playing, i hear, in a little bit of the snow that's out there. what do you got for us?

>> reporter: i've been working hard out here, guys, constructing this amazingly impressive snowman. shear my beautiful work of the last kim of hours. yes, it is good snowman weather. although, with the halts that we've received, just little mini snowmen we got to build, generally one to 3 inches falling across much of the delaware valley. we got here about three hours ago, the scene, the sidewalks, snowy, crystally, pretty. now that the snow has come to end, temperatures starting to cool, now that the cloud deck is lifting, relatively calm winds. now it is kind of slushy and starting to ice over in spots. i would say even sidewalk conditions are even worse than they were a few hours ago. even more slick, starting to see some of the ponding on the roadways, so that snow that melted because of the salt, that is starting to freeze over now, as women. and we continue to see issues with that, over the next several hours, with these temperatures sub-freezing. so yes, very slick, very slippery. snowfall amounts, minimal, but

most significant snowfall of the season so far. so take it easy. take it slow. i'm live in collingswood, meteorologist, lauren casey, back to you. >> if you live in the northeast you probably have some snow to clear off your cars there this morning, as well. >> trang do live along the boulevard with the latest. good morning, trang. >> reporter: good morning, not whole lot of snow but enough to be a nuisance, not to be out done, hearing about lauren talk about her incredible snowman all morning, scott, our photographer here, made a lady friends for lauren's snowman right here on the hood of this car. but wanted to show you this car in particular, because if you're getting up, getting ready to go to work, you have to be doing some cleaning. fortunately for all of us, this is a very light fluffy snow, just comes right off with hardly any effort at all. so, we're helping out this zipcar, over here, but taking a look, lots of clean up to be done. this is an acme parking lot that we're standing in, not been plowed yet. so you can really see that

when you walk around in it, as lauren mentioned, it is starting to crunch. it is starting to freeze over. so people really should get up and out here. if you haven't, start the salt and remove snow from the sidewalk it, will get hard and freeze over as the morning progresses so take a look at that, with a what people are dealing with, we actually caught up with other crazy people besides ourselves waking up very early, to get ready to go to work. >> went to bed thinking i would wake up and just maybe use my wipers and give it quick brush and go, but i they'll be late. >> this is nothing, this is peanut considering what we usually get, so little late in the winter season to get started when snow. soap, i like it. i think it is great. >> and i'll take peanut myself and so will some of these people over here on roosevelt boulevard, want to take a quick look here, before we let you guys go. this is roosevelt boulevard at harbison, and you can see drivers pretty much going at a good pace, you know, no issues

things considered. >> you have to look at the bright side of things, yes. >> we've really lucked out. pushing people out of snow banks, shoveling whole bun of of snow, just watch your footing walking out the door, slick out there. >> katie checking the weather for us? >> i am indeed. obviously off to snowy start, like you mention, not quite to what they're finding in other parts of the country. but it is certainly something of note. we have several inches out there to navigate through. even though this really is performing as anticipated in the bulk of the radar, starting starting to empty out locally. eyewitness weather watchers all up and adam early. thanks for your report. we always count on them. i've got snow list to show you here. some of the reports that have come in, jen any cherry hill at 2.5 inches from the storm, even too for aj, william, lou, in moorestown, levittown, and eagleville, respectfully, and the list goes on, 2 inches even for lynn in cherry hill.

john is in perkasie, 1.5, and that too is running theme of number for us out in williamstown, new jersey, i believe i saw gilbertsville, ended up verifying nicely with the expectation, and i will say this was one of the systems, wasn't terribly difficult to forecast. the next one that comes along, is becoming little bit more after question mark. making us scratch our heads, because the track is going to be critical. we will get to. >> radar emptying out at the local level. much wider zoom shows the combination of the streaks of snow. moving their way. even as far east at this point as tennessee. what will happen, this will all move east. then it cuts to the left. rides up the eastern seaboard. that's where we could get into some frost this, when it takes place here, pretty decent snowstorm across north carolina, especially, but if this manages to brush our coast, two-4 inches is additional possibility for in you coastal new jersey and delaware.

winter storm watch goes into effect later tonight for the areas. and specifically looking forwards here one of the models. >> ten to 15 miles, west or east, could completely bus the forecast. that's why it will be something we've really got to monde err, but regardless i don't think philly has to worry about it, talking two, 4 inches at worse right now, for southern ocean county, down to sussex, quick look at the seven day, just cold. right up through monday. meisha? >> all right, katie, thank you so much. >> still looking wealth, damp, freezing at the bridge decks, overall though i have to say right now looking very busy, yes. actually good news right now. ninety-five south near bridge, see how busy it is, brake lights going off, we expect that on friday morning, as we creep toward our main hour of the rush hour which is 7:00.

then a look at new jersey, 42 freeway at north, again, we can see it is very heavy, congested there, but over what we would expect as approaching the 7:00 hour, okay there. this accident in center city it is still out there overturned, truck, i can tell you right now it is with injuries and entrapment. arch street still closed between race street and jfk. use alternate, 17th or broad street right now. from what i hear we do have our spokesperson, friends, charlie metzger from pennsylvania dot on the line. we know you have been battling this snow all long, right along with it so charlie tell us what's going on right now, sounds like the snow kind of getting pushed out of the way. what's your protocol? >> right now moving away from our area. >> the traffic has just been moving along pretty good.

one crash with a truck in center city, and has been cleared, and traffic is moving. and it is, the timing of the storm was good for us, because it happened during the overnight hours, the traffic of course is lightest, and we were able to get in front of it. >> no doubt about that. what would be your best piece of safety advice for commuters this morning? >> well there is morning, just take your time. temperatures are still cold. whatever, whatever wet is on the roadway, you know, it could be slick, so just take your time, leave yourselves extra time when you are traveling around. >> and real quickly, also, salting, are you going to be salting all morning and into the afternoon or how long will you be out there? >> we will probably be out there until, well, we will have crews out all day long, because this is a normal work day for us. >> all right. >> and then over the weekends, we will re-evaluate the storm coming in and then make the plans from there you.

horrible crime. it often starts with the investigation, when a child may be too traumatized to talk. >> then you bring pella into the room. >> right. >> then what happens? >> then they just want to talk about pella. and they interact with you, because if pella thinks you are okay, then you must be okay. >> she's played a role in 450 cases. pella stays out every site so jurors focus on the testimony, not the dog. this kind of training keeps pella skills sharp. her gift to a frightened child that must testify is her very presence. volunteer 11 year old abby helped us understand the child's view, and the defendant could be sitting only few feet away. >> do you think it helps to have pella here? >> yes. >> for protection or little comfort? >> i think it would help, because i would probably be afraid that far person, and she would be there to help me relax, and calm, and make me not feel so scared. >> the minute she hears or sees that there is a child around, i see her look for

them. that's really important for her to be very focused on that. >> she is a pretty special dog. >> she is a special dog. >> and that's what makes her pella, the most lovable crime fighter around. >> hug. there you go. >> barry peterson, cbs news, after rap hoe county, colorado. >> what a great story. another member of the animal kingdom is in the spotlight this morning. >> this one is on the long road to recovery. five month old baby elephant is on the mend at a rehab center in thailand. she is in a swimming pool to help heal her injured foot caught in a trap last november. her name by the name is sajam. she is expected to make complete recovery. how cute, just watch it, all day.
