like. >> this was an area that got devastated in superstorm sandy. we lost probably half million cubic yards of sand here. >> reporter: now, the township is having sand trucked in to build a barrier between the homes and the ocean. >> we're going to start with 600 truck loads, we can probably use 600 truck loads every three days. >> reporter: less than two weeks ago state and local leaders talked with me about serious concerns for the exact same area after a beach replenishment project was suspended until the spring. >> we need to dredge this time. we're one storm away from having a major disaster. >> reporter: in north wildwood an urgent effort to repair a major breach in the dune system there, this drone video provides an aerial look at the damaged area before and after the storm. >> mobilized heavy equipment trying to fix the breach so we don't have more storm tides coming through this area.

>> reporter: north wildwood's mayor hopes that work will be done late tonight or tomorrow, in both communities officials say there is no time to waste. live in stone harbor, ted greenberg, "nbc 10 news." some of the jersey shore taking issue with a storm speech on saturday. christie used the blizzard to slam towns fighting the state's plan to build sand dunes. >> this should not be held up by what i really believe are a few very selfish homeowners who do not want to give in to the idea that we have to -- that we have to build these dunes by using the fake excuse that somehow i want to build a board walk or a ferris wheel or a hot dog stand or public bathrooms on a strip of land that we're taking. it's a ridiculous idea by selfish fongs and their selfish lawyers. >> christie said that the weekend storm is proof that new jersey needs to build protective sand dunes. people in several towns have

gone to durt challenge whether the state is justified in seizing sites and lots. the mayor of point pleasant beach released a statement in part, i don't know if the residents who live on the beach are selfish, i think they are concerned about their properties and government overstepping their bounds. >> we've had sky force 10 on patrol all day. here is a live look now at the snow piles growing in south philadelphia, that snow that is picked up in streets around philadelphia issing dumped here, just look at how huge that pile is. the fourth largest snowstorm in philadelphia's history. and we know that pile will keep growing as the snow continues to be collected. nbc 10 first alert meteorologist sheena parveen is here with the forecast. >> a drop in temperatures tonight could create dangerous conditions on the roadways that have been treated. >> yes. there is a lot of slush out there today. we had more melting, so big concern tonight as we go

overnight. the ice that will start developing north and west around sunset and really for the rest of the area shortly lly after. you see all of the snow cover here. what you can't see but what you probably have seen driving around today is all of the slush on the roadways. a lot of melting today will be refreezing tonight. that's going to be the big thing overnight and early tomorrow morning. locally, though, we are dry. we don't really have anything heading this way except for showers tomorrow possibly. but most of that would be rain showers. look at our temperatures though. we're around 40 degrees for most of the area now in the mid-30s through the lehigh valley and allentown so this is the reason along with the sunshine today why we've seen so much melting taking place. now, not really the big snow piles but especially what you see on the side of the road, the slush you've been driving over, melting off buildings, creating wet sidewalks so overnight the temperatures will be dropping below freezing so be careful as you leave especially early tomorrow morning.

by 7:00 p.m. tonight we should be the around the mid-30s. if you're in the lehigh valley your temperatures will be lower by 7:00 so we expect ice developing areas north and west of philadelphia. by 11:00 p.m., icy spots developing, pretty much everywhere across the area. and even tomorrow morning, when you head out to work around 8:00 around the philadelphia area we'll be around freezing. we are looking at the icy concern as we go into tomorrow morning. so coming up we'll talk more about this, we'll look at how much snow cover is around the area though we know we are covered in the snow. i'll show you the highest areas with the snow cover currently which is going to lead to greater icy spots tomorrow morning and also the chance of showers and warm temperaturers, warmer in the forecast. that's straight ahead. >> philadelphia public schools and parochial students had the day off but the district has not made a decision about tomorrow. the philadelphia parking authority announced reduced rate parking at garages and lots will continue until 7:00 tomorrow

he called an unacceptable snow response failure. and harry hairston has been driving around the suburbs in storm force 10. >> what are the condition likes where you are in norristown? >> reporter: i have to say the conditions right here are just -- really horrible. take a look at this street we're going down now. this is one of the streets, this is the one of the better streets, so you can see why people are frustrated out here. some of the street has been plowed. partly plowed. other streets aren't plowed at all. cars can't move whatsoever. as you see in front of us there are folks out here still trying to shovel out little spots, cars have found little cubbyholes to fit into. and probably going to sit there. folks complaining that they can't get their vehicles out to everybody get to work so they are very upset and they are frustrated. some of the kids of course trying to have fun playing football. i want to roll some video to show you what's happening in

streets that we've been on and this is not even a main street. but this is as good as it's getting out here right now. we're going to continue to whip around this area and take you down some other roads as we make our way to places like plymouth meeting and show you how these neighborhoods are coping with all of the snow, still in their area. in their face. giving them a tough time. back to you guys live. >> harry, thank you. we'll check in with you later. >> the lehigh valley got more than two feet of snow and getting around even in a four wheel drive is a what length. mitch blacher is taking a tour in news force 10. he will give us a closer look at the hardest hit area coming up at 4:30. >> from the sky to the rails to the roads, crews have been working overtime to get transportation up and running. good news, if your car is under snow in fill till the city is giving you a break. the philadelphia parking authority will not enforce meter and kiosk parking violations.

sunshine we had yes, a lot of that snow and ice was able to melt a little. look what happens tonight around sunset, i think we'll see that freezing starting up again. see especially north and west. temperatures will be dropping off so for much of the area we will be bat the mid to upper 20s overnight tonight. and early tomorrow morning. here is a current look at the snow cover across the area. now, the brighter pinks show you where the most snow cover is. obviously we have just about everywhere except spots along the shore. but all this will be sticking around for a while but at least our temperatures in the 40s for most of the week or at least around 40 degrees we'll see even more of this melting so the melting snow, remember it's going to be freezing at night. not just tonight. it's going to be every day this week, the snow will be melting during the day, then we'll see temperatures below freezing every night. so we're going to keep dealing with this through the rest of the week. currently nice and dry, but that area of showers that we're watching, that's around chicago and the great lakes, so small

little weather system, not a lot of moisture with it but showers could start to move in tomorrow. here is a future weather showing, so as we go through tonight temperatures dropping in the 20s, this is by 9:00 p.m. this evening. then we're going into tomorrow morning. temperatures around freezing still around 7, 8:00, they start to warm up by 9:00 a.m. more melting during the day, temperatures 40ss, then you see rain showers trying to move in the afternoon. by wednesday morning we're going to pay attention to this disturbance to our south. could provide some snow showers to parts of southern delaware and extreme south jersey and by wednesday afternoon again we are looking at temperatures staying right around 40 degrees. so more melting will take place. tonight ice forming, partly cloudy, 29 for the low in philadelphia, 23 areas north and west. then tomorrow temperatures back up around 40 degrees but not as cold, 41 to 44 with a chance of rain showers. then wednesday, it's going to be 42 again, so again that melting, that's going to be the case

are on kenwood road, the streets are plowed, it's fairly passable. folks using a shove tool shovel out the sidewalks. we've noticed many of the sidewalks are still snow covered making it difficult for anybody to even try to walk on the sidewalks. seeing people walking in the streets, as we continue through the neighborhood, folks i want to let you know we're using a wide angle lens on storm force, so it appears as though we're going faster than we are but i promise you we're going roughly around 5 to 10 miles an hour, especially through these neighborhoods. we'll continue to report from the roads in the philadelphia area. harry hairston, back to you guys. iffy to drive on the roads as harry was showing us. not only dangerous with snow on the car, it's illegal. >> new jersey drivers can get ticketed for $75 if they don't properly clean off their cars. fines range from $200 to $1,000

if flying ice or snow causes damage or injure respect. in pennsylvania penalties for driver who is fail to clean their cars range from $200 to $1,000. delaware has no specific laws for snow removal when it comes to cars. obviously drivers should clean everything off before hitting the road. >> jubilation turns to regret. watch what happens after this touchdown last night. the panthers luke keuchly is high fiving fans after scoring one of the fans tries to join the celebration but falls over the wall and right on the field. look again in slow motion here. you can see him topple and fall right there. eventually he climbed back in the stands to watch the panthers punch their ticket to the super bowl. wow. panners take on the denver broncos sunday, february 7 in super bowl 50. for many around the region it's a day of digging out from this weekend's blizzard. >> but it was also a day off
