>> reporter: people spent the day shoveling out of the fourth largest snowfall in history. whoever owns this car will have a hard time finding it. cars are trapped by snow banks some three feet tall. side streets are snow covered and impassable. >> i don't think anyone can get down here. a backhoe couldn't get down here either. >> reporter: mass transit resumed a regular schedule, although regional travel is still suspended. city plow trucks were on the move continuing a nonstop plowing and salting operation. >> the city is doing the best they can, but what are you going to do? >> hundreds of people worked around the clock and will continue to do so. please continue to help. >> reporter: here at 10th and cantrell in south philadelphia there is still plenty of work to be done. emergency operations will stay in effect until crews can clear roadways like this one. all schools in the philadelphia school district, public and parochial, will be closed tomorrow. reporting live, i'm denise

nakano, nbc 10 news. here's a live look at the vine street expressway, a much different scene than yesterday. drivers able to easily make their way around. digout day in roxborough. one woman we spoke to figured it would take hours to get her car pulled out. transportation agencies have been working to get planes, trains and buses back in service following the blizzard. skyforce 10 over philadelphia international airport as crews worked to cleear the runways. service is resuming but passengers should check with their airlines about information on specific flights. we can tell you septa's airport line is back open. both the market, frankford and broad street lines are running. as for bus service, it's operating on a route by route basis. amtrak just announced acela express, northeast regional and other services will operate on a

will freeze really solid tonight because the temperature is going down. it's already at the freezing mark. it barely got above freezing at 34 degrees so there really wasn't a whole lot of melting going on. it's 23 in pottstown now, reading, millville. as we go through the night with the wind diminishing and mostly clear skies, that's even philadelphia down into the teens. as we go through the night you'll see a lack of clouds, the lack of wind, fresh snow cover, it's all the perfect condition for these temperatures to go down. i think some of them will be going down into the single digits, like you see right there in lancaster by morning. we'll see how much it's going to warm up this week and there are a couple of chances of at least some snow. i'm have that with the seven-day in just a few minutes. residents in lehigh county are digging out after snowfall like never before.

this was the scene in allentown atoday. a record 31.9 inches of snow fell. they're smashing the previous high of a little more than 25.5 inches from the blizzard of 1996. the biggest question now, where do you put it? >> like in the yard or in the grass. other than that, there's really nowhere to go with it basically. we could ship it out somewhere, but other than that, there's nowhere to go with it. >> now, to put it in perspective just how much snow they got, the 31 plus inches of snow is equivalent to allentown's snowfall average for the entire winter season. this note was posted at the wawa on lehigh street in allentown apologizing to customers after they ran out of gas. the big issue was their inability to get a tanker truck there safely. in delaware, many side roads are still coated with snow. take a look at the scene in

riding took us around in a humvee to get a closer look. at its height, the mayor said the water was about five feet high. you can see the water lines on many of the homes. between 60 to 70 people had to be evacuated. more than 100 homes sustained damage, from water, wind or both. docks broke free and boats came undone, drifting away from their original location and sometimes crashing into neighbors' property. today the cleanup has begun as floodwaters continue to recede. starting tomorrow, residents can start the process of getting help. >> we're starting to get people's names, addresses. obviously i've been in contact with the governor's office and they assured me that aid should be coming. >> reporter: i'm told that a lot of residents here raised their homes after hurricane sandy, so the good news here is that while there has been damage, it may not be as bad as it could have been.

gigantic, but after all we've gone through, a lot of people are not looking forward to that word for a while. 30 grows, the winds 8 miles an hour, feels like it's 22. and it is going down tonight. and it's one of those things where even in the city it gets cold when you have all of that white around instead of the concrete. and there are the temperatures going down through the teens and the windchills the way it feels going into the single digits. it just takes a little bit of wind to create a windchill when the temperature is this low. we got up to 34 and it's in the 20s across the rest of the area. how much snow fell? 22.4 officially in philadelphia. fourth biggest snowstorm all time. 18 plus in manayunk, nearly 18 in northeast philly. there's the 31.9 in allentown, 27 in easton, berks county up to

we've got the refreezing. 15 for philadelphia, 9 north and west around allentown. tomorrow mostly sunny, a very cold day. high temperatures only in the mid-30s. similar to today. then we get up to 44 tuesday with that late shower possibly changing to the light mix. a little more significant threat coming later on thursday and thursday night, watching the coast for a potential storm. it could stay offshore. more on that tomorrow. and not too bad over the weekend. we've rounded up nbc 10 viewers blizzard photos and videos from shirtless shoveling to dogs in the snow. we'll show you the pictures you can't miss. the republicans in harrisburg were fighting each other over the state budget. that's right. each other.
