for all intents and purposes, no accidents out there, just missing manhole cover, random stuff. >> missing manhole cover? >> it is exciting in the traffic center. just never know what you will get. >> we do potentially have another squawl like came through last night. i have nice coating on my own front lawn. careful out there. if it looks wet, expect it will have frozen over, hopefully not as big after deal. you said it, dry right now, in terms of what storm scan has up its sleeve. taking a look at it right now, anything that tried to build in has in factises recalled in the last say two and a half hours here. but there isn't a larger clipper system that's moving in. and clipper by its very nature tends to bring very little moisture. yep, we will see some snow. i don't think we see it here accumulate in the city. the only accumulation you will have to go north specifically up toward the poconos, especially, maybe as far south as the lehigh valley but very light in intensity, in terms of any rain or snow showers that come through here today. it will be somewhat of a mix,

so be very scat nerd coverage, really the further south you go, the more this will fizzle in terms of how it is covering our area radar. little to no accumulation expected in the city. go up into the mountains, don't be shocked to see one to 3 inches of accumulation, once it gets here it will have multiple hours to actually bring in the light snow. meanwhile, temperatures, quite colds. we have certainly seen a deficit since this same time yesterday. they were from five to almost 10 degrees colder right now than it was this same time yesterday. only expect to go hit about 41 degrees, and that will happen between the hours of 2:00 and 5:00. again, a scattered shower, rain or snow, is yet to kick in the city. just snow, but lightly covering the mountains, and then, down across southern delaware, new jersey, meisha, avenue feeling you won't see much of anything except clouds here today. >> good, i mean, that's actually good, i'll deal with the clouds as long as we don't have a lot of snow coming down or rain. that will will help us. thanks so much, katie. looking outside, the vine, vine is what we are looking at, closed overnight for

you go, bulk of the moisture, lackluster moisture there is, that will stay north. so delaware, southern new jersey, good shot you see a drop or a flake out of this, go further to the north, that's where you will see the accident. snow is a good sort of just bullet point list of region by region what you will find. up through the lehigh valley specially the mountains, one to 3 inches light snow yet, here in philadelphia, and the immediate suburbs, talking chester, montgomery, bucks county, light rain to snow showers, little if no accumulation out of it, mainly dry. quickly check the area temperatures, yes, off to cold start. into the 20's at best, only in wildwood are you into the 30's right now as the days progress here, you want cold. take a look. there will be multiple days that don't break out of the 30's, and in time for groundhog day, looks like the sun. >> katie, thank you so much. good morning, everyone, looking at the vine right now, checking westbound side towards the schuylkill, now open, looks like eastbound

side is following suit. good news there, the vine, slow overnight for the construction project. construction 422 eastbound, between trooper, closed until about six armor so. looks like that's now actually turning to clear, earlier, good news, for those every in you that neck of the woods. delaware memorial bridge, one left lane open, overnight between nine p.m. and 5:00 a.m. >> this will linger out there all week long until friday. so just heads up on that. then we have missing manhole cover, white horse pike near copely avenue. right lane blocked right now. just heads up on that. will it slow you down, yes, not slow you down right now, maybe knott the 5:00 hour. maybe trip you up into the 6:00 hour. then we do have more construction in jersey, 259 north and southbound, both directions, between repaupo and route 73, starting in the a.m. and the p.m. rush around

jim, rahel. >> so jill one of the worlds' richest people said he eats the same thing for breakfast every day and only cost a few dollars. what's that all about? >> reporter: 3.17-ton exact. investor warren buffet he said in a new hbo documentary, he stops for mcdonald's bacon egg, cheese mcmuffin, and pace the exact same. for whatever reason, jim, i feel like this, for whatever reason, this remind me of something would you do, i don't know. >> i do eat the exact same thing every day, but i don't go -- mcdonald's i don't even think is open at 1:30 in the morning. >> also, warren buffet -- >> we need a 24 hour? >> you know what? i have my, you know, cinnamin raisin toast, my banana, and my coffee. >> see? >> i'm like a little old man.

what does a steak lover eat when they're not eating steak? how about this? or this...? or this...? okay that last one was steak, but how could they not? you can't fake steak. longhorn steakhouse. tonight's special: longhorn favorites. get our outlaw ribeye, the longhorn salmon, or the parmesan crusted chicken.

you, as we overlook cathedral basilica in the distance, logan square, the parkway, beautiful shot. traffic looks awfully light right now. hopefully will stay that way for little longer. update in just a second with traffic. but for now, all looks calm in the weather department for the time being. we do, however, have a clipper system that's going to be reversing the area, and at the moment, any of the snow that's trying to hit the ground, you know how it is sort of running into dry air here, fizzling as it comes along. eventually we will see some snow. starts to pick up at the earliest for the far north and west you can serbs, so i would say as early as tail end of what's our typical morning rush, snowflakes will start to fall. ville to go north, guys. even though see shower, rain or even snow in philly, very likely won't accumulate. so i like how this particular model is handling it, two, maybe 3 inches locally for carbon, monroe counties, maybe half inch or inch or so in the lehigh valley. but looking for accumulation,

you have to go north, certainly slow travel along route 22, for example, 78, that could be an issue. looking forward down the road here, cold stretch of days. we will not break out of the 30's from groundhog day right through the weekend, meisha, it is looking like a pretty good possibility that we see some snow on sunday, late in the day. i know. >> you know, like we hit february and everyone is just ansy, okay, winter, we've had enough already. >> give me until at least april. how is that? >> oh, all right. thanks so much, katie. good morning, everyone, what are we looking at? ninety-five south at cottman, looking really good pushing in the southbound direction, toward center city, for those of you hitting the vine, looks clear. closed for the overnight construction but looks good there. looking at the blue route at bridge pike, we have the schuylkill here montgomery drive, headlights moving in the eastbound direction. both of which are looking good. i will say maybe heating up just little bit quicker than the blue route. overall things are looking

good no matter where you are driving right now, still early, still dark outside. once we hit the 5:00, busy actuals, we'll start to see things slowly start to change. also dealing with some construction this morning, couple whiff you should know about. this is overnight construction, delaware river bridge northbound, one left lane open. overnight. so start at 9:00 p.m. goes through 5:00 a.m. and this will also run you through friday. so, heads up on that. plus, weaver missing manhole cover, route 30, white horse pike, near copely avenue. right lane block there. probably not going to slow you down right now. but this is one of the situations that probably could in the 6:00 hour, so i'll let you know as soon as that clears, rahel, back to you. >> see you soon, thank you. coming up in the next hour of cbs-3 "eyewitness news" for the first time since leaving office, president obama speaks about the trump administration. hear what he is saying about the travel restrictions. >> and if you are thinking of filing your taxes soon, i'll have information you need to know before turning over your most sensitive information. back at the top of the hour. stay with us.
