believe it or not, this is the one daybreak. we are at what 13 degrees now this morning. good morning on this wednesday, this is "nbc 10 news today." i'm chris cato. let's go to meteorologist bill henley now and the first alert forecast. bill? the snow of yesterday gave way to sunshine, actually. it was a nice sunny day. yes. a lot of melting occurred even with temperatures cold during the day, but it is frozen solid as you mentioned this morning with temperatures plummeting overnight. you can see the ice flow on the delaware in front of center city. that's a live view looking across the delaware this morning. temperatures have plummeted overnight with single digits in many of the suburbs. 8 degrees in atlantic city. look at millville, 1. pottstown, 2. it is now down to 12 degrees in northeast philadelphia and wilmington. a frigid start, it will be sunny. look at the temperature at 7:00. 19 degrees at 9:00.

this was a stabbing right? >> reporter: that's correct. we are in the 6300 block of stanton avenue. i'm going to get out of the way as you can see police out here investigating this murder. and the crime scene unit just pulled up a couple minutes ago. one person has died. another is in bad shape. we are told by police that they arrived by vehicle, private vehicle to einstein hospital. then einstein called 911 to tell them what was happening out here. police arrived to this bar and believe a recently fired employee may have been involved with this. of course you see that the police are outside the bar right now trying to find surveillance cameras. of course this entire area is cordened off on stanton avenue near washington lane. they will be out here for quite some time as we get more information. for now, that's the very latest we have here live in germantown. matt delucia, "nbc 10 news." and now back to our weather

is still pretty bad. looking down here on tudor street, an offshoot of central avenue, there are definitely slick spots and drivers who are coming out in the early morning hours, it is going to be dicy for them especially this car trying to get out of here. fortunately, from what i can see, the tread on this car is pretty good. our live truck has great tread and we were not slipping this morning. but if your tires are not up to speed and you're contending with all the moisture snow and ice, still on the roads in some areas, it could make for a slick commute this morning. we're calling around trying to find out if there are trouble spots you should be aware of and over the next hour we'll bring that information to you. for now, reporting live in fox chase, katy zachry "nbc 10 news." all right. and as bill said we could end this week with near record cold on friday. so we have a lot to warn you about. remember, you can always use the nbc 10 app to get the latest forecast and weather alerts. it's a free download in the app store. new from overnight, a gas
