haven't seen a plow at all. randy gyllenhaal is at west oak lane. >> reporter: we have seen plows here in the last two hours and first time many neighbors have seen one. there's 900 miles of residential streets in the city of philadelphia an we just caught up with some neighbors down the block to deal with it themselves. >> it is frustrating because, again, we are taxpayers. we deserve to get at least a plow. >> after three days of patient waiting, that knee sha thomas walks home yet again with a foot of snow on the blk. >> not a single plow through here. we have called to 311. i have called the mayor's office. >> reporter: city officials say they've gotten to 80% of residential streets working around the clock but an unlucky few draw the short straw. plymouth street, one of the last to see a plow. so tonight tired of waiting, neighbors got together and went

at it alone. >> next thing i know my man carl came out. my son was out here shoveling. and then i got donte and terry. >> reporter: inch by inch with shovels and muscles, snow turned into pavement. >> we had to band together as neighbors, as a community. and dig ourselves out. >> i'm lucky to have neighbors, you know, as nice as them. >> reporter: this car is now free which is good because she has to go to work and her daughter goes back to school. >> if i don't get to school then i don't even know. plus it's going to be tough and the snow is stronger than the tires. >> reporter: and once the block was clear, time for a bit of fun. the neighborhood had a snowball fight. >> be careful, be safe. have a shovel in the car if you come here. we'll put you to work. >> reporter: well, at least they had some fun shoveling out the street here. the city tells nbc 10 they expect to have every street plowed and drivable by the end

most of the area will be dry except for the exception of new jersey and delaware. that's the best chance of a light shower in the morning. north and west, should be at freezing by then and by the afternoon bus stop time temperature should start to get closer to 40 with more melting taking place. coming up, how many more nights we can expect that icing and also a warm-up for the weekend. cell phone video shows the moment a garbage truck exploded in hamilton township mercer county today. you can see the smoke and flames in the air from the truck. we are told that it runs on natural gas and turns out a gas tank blew up after a battery caught fire. witness tells us the blast so powerful it blew a huge hole in one house and sent the gas tank flying through another. >> it was an 80-year-old lady who was reading her paper in her living room. she got up for whatever reason, saw the truck and no longer get

congratulations to that family. not as cold today as it had been and raining in some parts of the area. let's talk to sheena parveen. should we be careful of the ice in the morning, sheena? >> yeah. tomorrow morning will be north and west of philadelphia. but for the morning commute, there's spots in south jersey and delaware to see rain, maybe a brief wintry mix and still tracking some showers as we go into tonight and very early tomorrow. the ice threat, that continues for the rest of the week. we're going to keep seeing melting in the afternoon and keep seeing refreezing overnight and then the weekend. and it's going to be milder so our weather pattern is going to start to change a bit and showing you that in a second. right now, a few very light showers north and west and the temperatures here mainly outside the lehigh valley of the showers and either way above freezing. 36 in allentown. 40 degrees right now in mt. pocono. 37 in redding. 38 pottstown.

43 degrees even ben salem and then we have spots still in the 50s in new jersey. 50 degrees millville. 51 in atlantic city. so the best chance for freezing temperatures tomorrow morning will be north and west of philadelphia and the philadelphia area. here's a look at the radar and showers i showed you. very, very light rain. nearing the poconos and then wintry mix to form there, too. watching that closely. we have more moisture down to the south and west and not a lot and anything that moves through is fairly light. here's future weather. remember the temperatures still above freezing and seeing them drop below freezing not until the early morning hours tomorrow. but 6:00 a.m., you notice some rain down around cape may, parts of sussex county and the model's trying to put a wintry mix there. watching closely and be careful driving tomorrow morning. quickly clears out through the afternoon. 2:00 p.m. we are around 40 degrees again and seeing more melting and then look what happens tomorrow night and early

thursday morning. we're going to be colder in the 20s through most of the area and refreezing will continue through the rest of the week. here's a welcome at the pattern change. we are still chilly and the jet stream starts to change position going into the rest of the week. into the weekend and by the end of the weekend and next week temperatures will be nearing 50 degrees. so we'll start to get milder. tonight, chance of light showers. 27 north and west. tomorrow chance of early mix south, mainly rain in some parts and then seeing increasing sunshine through the afternoon. highs in the low 40s. so there you see the melting and then the freezing as we go through the overnight hours for the rest of the week and look at the afternoon high temperatures. mostly around 40 as we end out the week and start the weekend and we'll be seeing melting in the afternoon and then look at the morning lows. the 20s. more refreezing taking place and we're dealing with this for the rest of the week and be cautious. then we go into sunday. 47 degrees. there's the warm-up. lasts into next week and will be

around 50 degrees. so we'll be watching for showers next week. >> i think people are happy to be above freezing. >> yes. i guess it makes it easier with the shoveling of the snow and kind of lowering the impact of it. >> speaking of wet, this video making the rounds shows a police officer cleaning snow off the roof of an elderly woman's car during a traffic stop. the driver said she wasn't physically able and said we need 25 of you. talk about going the extra mile. let's turn to john bork. hey, john. >> yeah. thanks, keith w. the broncos and panthers preparing for the super bowl, the eagles and everybody else is gearing up for next season. we'll head down to the senior bowl in mobile, alabama. we'll hear from howie roseman next in sports.

spending the week in mobile, alabama, leading up to the senior bowl and culminates with the draft in april and the first time to see doug peterson and that regime at work. peterson with the new offensive coordinator and together scouting players, howie roseman part of the front office brigade and perhaps the biggest question with the eagles is future of sam bradford and if there's a future in philly. here's howie. >> a very talented guy that finished the season strong and, you know, obviously we hear from his teammates as we met with him they liked him, as well. so that all kind of factors into

it but it's still early in the offseason and so we have a lot of decisions to make and that will be part of the process. as for peterson, only a week into the job and already hard at work with the new staff. offensive coordinator frank wright said today peterson's the main reason he took the job. >> you look at what they did in kansas city this year, a string of 11 games. doug's success. the people he's worked with. it's all about the people you work with and having that same vision, same like mindedness and philosophy and the systems to run. and the eagles also signed brent sellec. sixers, no okay fur or samps sampson. noel in the middle of the game and liking it. smith for noel for the jam. steps out.

knocks down a 3 here. 19 points for covington. final minutes of the game, smith driving to the hoop and finishing very nicely. a team high 20. sixers beat the suns 113-103 sweeping phoenix this season. that is sports. we'll be right back.

hard to believe it is still above freezing out there, sheena. >> that's good. we don't want to see the ice forming. causes problems. we still do have the chance of very early showers tomorrow morning. mostly south jersey and delaware i think. more melts and then down around 20 degrees and seeing prefreezing that's for sure and then go and could see snow flurries thursday and then weekend around 40 degrees. 47 by sunday. mild air coming back. especially by next monday but

the weekend looks dry. >> eyeballing that 50 on monday, too. >> no blizzard in the forecast. >> that's good. for all of us here at nbc 10, thank you so much for watching.
