but, temps this morning, if you haven't stepped outside yet, cold, compared to yesterday morning, in the mid 30's in a lot of spots as we check in with our weather watchers, mid upper 30's right now, limited sunshine, mostly cloudy skies out in dunk town, dawn has 34 degrees, we go into south jersey, where it is really not much warmer. we do have some upper 30's now showing up. this is williamstown, peter, 37 degrees, under mostly cloudy skies, has a message, feels like old-man-winter punched us in the face this morning, yes, compared to yesterday it does. peter things could be whole lot worse. you know it. we're in the dead of winter but been so mild. again here is a shot of some clouds. this was yesterday. before the storms came in. cherry hill, and then earlier this morning, we had some sunshine breaking through, some of these clouds, so that's going to be the trend this morning, partly sunny skies, little more sun at the shore, this hour. and along the coast, where you guys joined the 60s the past couple of days, struggle to make it today mid 40's along the coast, there will be off shore wind, but chilly headed

to the shore. people out on the board walk this morning. dramatic drop in the temperature, 8:00 yesterday, close to 06 degrees for philadelphia. this morning, at 8:37, typical for late february, so this is where we should be, and we talked about the snow lovers, really getting gipped this month. this is typically our snowiest month, on average, the average almost 9 inches every snow for philadelphia. so far this month, only 2 inches, not going to get any more snow for the month. our most snowy february 2010. remember that winter rough one. 51.5 inches, just in the month. so far, on the season, totals, 8 inches, not done yet. winter still has some time. maybe see little snow. not going to say we will get it but possible. signs of spring, just two weeks away from daylight saving time. so we turn the clocks ahead, saturday night, on the 11th into the 12th, sunday, march 12th, will be setting the sun at clock zero four in the evening for philadelphia. so those days getting longer by about two and a half minutes as we approach the spring summer season. lake effect snow showers confined central western

pennsylvania, maybe snow shower gets into the poconos this morning into the afternoon. limited sunshine, up there, maybe some more sundown toward the shore. rain chances pretty much zero today, tomorrow, and then tuesday, we bring back 50% chance for few showers around, nothing widespread. most of the day probably going to stay on the dry side. wednesday, especially late in the day, that's our best chance to see some wet weather, we bump things up to 70% chance, could be some heavier showers, wednesday afternoon, wednesday night, another strong cold front moves on through, maybe even thunderstorm, not out of the question. temps today, struggling to mid had's, maybe upper 40's for the warm he is spot, cold tonight, so tomorrow morning, back to work and school. yes, need the winter coat once again, near freezing in a lot of the suburbs, mid 30's around the city. so decent rebound. even though we have some clouds around monday, we still get into the 50's. i think maybe even upper 50's, here's a reason for the short-term cool down. the drop in the jet stream allows the canadian air to settle in. but the jet back on the move by the middle of the week. get the ridge push northward, here comes milder air, highs

15, 20 degrees above average tuesday and wednesday, close to 07 degrees, i think by wednesday afternoon, today it is windy, colder, 48, winds gust to about 30, so it will feel more like the three's at times through the afternoon, tonight, cold 34 degrees, here is the extended forecast, today, little miler. showers tuesday, 62, up to 70 wednesday, late day rain, cools down again though jan by the ends of next week, next weekends, so i think the first half of march could have few days below average. winter holds on. >> not out of went he yet. thank you, justin. it is 8:48. time to check the roads, let's go over to amanda mueller and the cbs-3 traffic center. hi, amanda. >> jan, smooth for the most part on the roadways this morning, but we do have one incident here in new jersey on 130 past haines mill road. two lanes are block, and there is a downed pole. so if you can avoid the area altogether. alternate is south chester avenue. in center city, 21st and 22nd street, closed for bridge work. that is set until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. if you are traveling through the area, this weekend, you will be detoured between arch
