will melt by next week like that other snow we had. >> reporter: in some places this snow didn't require the big snow plows. this guy used a small tractor to get the job done. and people said the shoveling wasn't too bad either. >> a little bit for five minutes as opposed to the last one, 14 inches. >> reporter: when the skies cleared later in the day those who waited to shovel got an assist from the sun melting away some of the snow and slush. let's check in now with nbc 10 first alert meteorologist sheena parveen. a lot of that snow melted as drew mentioned. now there is a chance of icing over. >> that's right. temperatures will be dropping below freezing so something we'll be watching closely, you should be careful about on untreated surfaces that are wet or puddles really. here is a look at the snow cover because of this morning's snowfall. south jersey and delaware seeing a light coating of snow. stretching into the lehigh valley. a lot of that is melting but again, those untreated wet

surfaces will be turning icy. temperatures are still well above freezing but now dropping into the upper 30s for millville, wildwood, atlantic city. 42 in philadelphia, upper 30s through much of the lehigh valley. the storm system has moved away. we are nice and dry but the snow is now in new england, boston about to get rid of that snowfall and as we go into the weekend a lot of dry air in the forecast so a nice dry weekend. for tonight, though, we will stay dry but colder by 7:00 p.m. around 37 degrees, still windy, too, it's windy now but then overnight the winds start to diminish and that's going to allow temperatures to drop more. by early tomorrow morning below freezing, icy spots, be careful as you are walking around or driving in the morning hours. coming up i'll show you the rest of the weekend forecast and our next chance of snow next week. >> we have new information on this police chase and crash captured exclusively by sky force 10. authorities say the suspect robbed a cell phone store in south philly, then police used

immunizations due to date had mild to moderate illness. that means that the vaccine is actually doing its job. >> the health department says children who get the illness can usually go back to school after five days of antibiotics. montgomery county had seven reported cases of whooping cough so far this year. >> pregnant women should think twice before kissing someone especially a stranger. that's the new warning from brazilian health officials. right now brazil is celebrating carnaval where many kiss strangers. health officials say the discovery of active zika virus in saliva calls for precautions, they recommend pregnant women avoid sharing cutlery, glasses and plates with people who have symptoms. the virus is suspected of causing severe birth defects. the centers for disease control also issued new guidelines regarding zika that target pregnant women and their partners. pregnant women whose partners

traveled to where the virus is spreading should not have sex or use condoms, they should do this until the man tests negative for zika or the woman delivers her baby. the virus is mainly spread through mosquitoes but officials have confirmed a rare case where it spread through sexual contact. sky force 10 is over breaking news in montgomery county, crews are on the scene of a fire at a chemical and technology company in upper merion. the name is johnson nasay. the fire crews down there, police also right outside of the building. if we can zoom out to show what we're talking about. we'll continue to monitor this situation again there was a fire at a chemical company here, this is upper merion township. as soon as we know more we'll bring it to you. to our coverage of decision

>> senator sanders is the only person i think would characterize me a woman running to be the first woman president as exemplifying the establishment and i've got to tell you that -- >> in manchester today, some women supported clinton. >> i'm voting for hillary because she is a woman and has a lot of the same beliefs i do. >> i like bernie. i trust him. i don't trust any of the other ones. >> you don't trust hillary clinton. >> no. >> clinton is reaching out. >> i want to say a word to the extraordinary people particularly young people who are supporting senator sanders. i know you may not be for me now, but i am for you. >> bernie sanders today appealed to women, slamming republicans who oppose abortion rights. >> every woman in this room, every woman in this state, every woman in this country that you do not have the right to control your own body. i disagree. >> on the gop side, jeb bush had

and sunday, nice and dry, but next week winter comes back. we're tracking more snow in the forecast. temperatures now above freezing, upper 30s, 38 pottstown, 42 philadelphia and still windy outside so making it feel colder, but we're still above freezing in the areas that we saw snow this morning for south jersey and delaware. tonight the numbers will be dropping so if you have friday night plans grab the thicker jacket. we'll be dropping below freezing by about 11:00 p.m. and by the time you wake up tomorrow morning, if it's around 6, 7:00 expect temperatures right around 31 degrees, so we'll have icy spots out there. here is a look at satellite and radar. the show is off in parts of new england, boston getting that snow but starting to leave. we, though, are nice and dry at the moment. high pressure is going to keep us dry all the way through the weekend. so, if you are heading out this weekend we'll see temperatures in the 40s, pretty nice for saturday, a mix of sun and clouds, mid-40s sunday, miler near 50 degrees, and then we go

into next week and we'll be watching a couple weather systems, here is monday, 9:00, big area of low pressure offshore and this model pretty much keeps it offshore some are trying to bring a little bit of the moisture inland not much though but then by tuesday we're going to be in between two other weather systems. so we have this clipper system moving in from the west, area of low pressure developing offshore. we'll be watching this through the day because we do expect snow on tuesday from it. and then as we go into wednesday that starts to move away from the area. so, this weekend of course we'll be having more updates on this as we go into next week. tonight clear and cold, icy spots forming, 28 for the low in philadelphia, 22 north and west. tomorrow a mix of sun and clouds, temperatures 43 to 46 degrees so i would say really nice weekend, we go into sunday. 48 degrees, milder the chance of snow comes in monday but it depends how close that first weather system gets, then we go into tuesday watching for the chance of snow and a mix across the area, that's likely too.

temperatures will only be topping out around 37 degrees tuesday and wednesday. but look at thursday, the coldest day of the week, 33 for a high temperature, morning lows around 20 degrees, so winter is back in the seven-day forecast, we'll take a closer look at that coming up. >> looking forward to that. meantime, atlantic city says it's a decision that could leave them bankrupt. we'll explain why the city now has a $62 million bill that it can't pay. >> three, two, one. >> plus, drivers will soon have to pay more to get through part of delaware. where the state is putting a new toll road and how much it will cost you.

introducing longhorn's steaks that sizzle for $12.99. like the new smoky bacon sirloin. and the parmesan crusted sirloin. only at longhorn steakhouse. you cant fake steak.

it could force atlantic city into bankruptcy in weeks. a court ruled that the city must pay the casino more than $62 million in tax refund. the judge barred the casino from taking any of the city assets for at least 45 days, that allows for settlement talks. while waiting the borgata says it will stop making current tax payments. the mayor says the question is how does the city pay the money back? atlantic city is grappling with severe budget problems caused by years of decline in the casino industry. state officials accuse decades of overspending and poor

financial management. a bill is pending in the state legislature to give the state vast power over the city's operations if that happens the state would get the majority of the decision making authority including the right to sell off city assets and land. >> actors and actresses aren't shy about using their celebrity to influence certain issues but do their actions speak louder than their words? why one family group is calling out hollywood stars for being hypocrites when it comes to gun violence. >> you see this equipment here it's going to help build delaware a big expensive chunk of highway. where it is, how much it's going to cost to drive it and why some think it's a very good thing.

drivers will soon need extra dollars. the state broke ground on a new toll road. some may not like the extra cost, one town says it will save them a lot of headaches. tim furlong joins us live in middletown. tell us about this. >> reporter: they have been talking about this for years, lots of debate where this road is going to go, how close to neighborhoods but you see the equipment is now in place, construction on the 301 middletown toll road is officially a go. it took a couple decades to get

here but today ground is officially broken on a toll road that will take traffic around middletown instead of through it. the $470 million project is expected to pump over $700 million in the delaware economy. you can see the highway will run between route 1 and the maryland border southwest of middletown. four on and off points will help companies get trucks and employees in and out of the area more efficiently and speed up the access to and from i-95. >> all of the companies we're talking to look at that thing. that's what they want to know. travel for employees. >> middletown's population is booming, new shopping popping up, traffic has gotten pretty bad especially through the charming down town even for big trucks passing through main street is the primary way to get to and from delaware route 1. >> i try to avoid main street. i try to take the back roads over to work. >> at half baked they tell you they won't miss the trucks but

aren't sure how they feel about the toll road letting more drivers avoid the down town. >> i think it's kind of both to be honest. it's a good did thing because we have a lot of issues with parking but it's bad because i think a lot of people will not be riding through town that we'd normally have. kind of seeing us. >> reporter: i can tell you the road is set to open in 2018. it's going to cost $4 end to end but save you a lot of time compared to the current way right through middletown. it's designed to keep the truck traffic out. this road is also going to create a lot of construction jobs and state leaders say this could lure more companies here with this improved access to the highways. tim furlong, "nbc 10 news." this morning was the first alert weather day for people down the shore. snow created work for city crews in south jersey and nbc 10 in atlantic city, the shoveling this go around wasn't nearly as bad as the blizzard of 2016. in burlington county salt trucks

did what they could. it was kind of an uphill battle. the salt didn't help much. in philadelphia the snow meant you needed a little extra time for the ride to work in the morning. nbc 10 in havertown, the roads weren't bad but cars had to be cleaned off. let's talk to sheena parveen. a lot of that snow has melted but that means potential icing. >> temperatures will be dropping below freezing as we go through tonight. now the weather system is far away now up in new england and eventually it will be moving away from there. but we're nice and dry. however, our temperatures this afternoon have been above freezing, look at this snow cover, now the entire area at least saw some snow. at least most of the area i should say for new jersey and delaware, especially, so the the untreated wet surfaces will be turning icy with temperatures dropping down. right now we're above freezing so even melting can be

occurring. 42 philadelphia, 40 northeast philly, 38 allentown. 39 millville and wildwood. but these numbers are going to be dropping like i mentioned in about the low 30s for much of the area, low 20s, areas north and west so if you're heading out tonight take the heavy coat if you have late night plans. future weather here with temperatures we're going to be dropping down in the low 30s, below freezing by about 11:00 p.m. and midnight. 1:00 in the morning, so i think we'll see some icy spots through the overnight hours, remember untreated surfaces will be icy. into the weekend looking pretty good, and we have another round of snow coming as we go into next week. i'll show you the timing coming up. $thank you. a philadelphia man gets more than 30 years behind bars for the kidnapping and torture of a jewelry store worker in center city. he and two others approached the woman. he used a stun gun on her, bound her and dumped her in a cemetery. police say he planned the

hearing. >> chaka fattah jr. is officially appealing his fraud decision. it comes three days after a judge sentenced fattah jr. to 5 years in prison. he was immediately taken into custody. fattah jr. was convicted on bank and fraud charges. he is the son of u.s. congressman chaka fattah married to "nbc 10 news" anchor renee chenault-fattah. she is currently on leave from the station. well, coming up the snow that fell this morning may be freezing over. it's melted for most of the area. the weekend looks pretty good. then a chance of snow next week. i'll show you those details and timing. >> community outrage after a local amusement park worker is fired after more than a decade. tonight, a park's vice president responds to the criticism.

twitter is taking on terrorism. today the company announced it's now using spam fighting technology to seek out accounts that could be promoting terrorism. twit sers it's suspended 125,000 accounts in the last eight months for threatening or promoting terrorist attacks. mainly related to isis. twitter's actions follow a controversy over the role in social media in the san bernardino attack. the fbi says the isis inspired couple responsible sent pro jihad messages on social media. 14 people were killed in december's attack. many actors and actresses spoke out against gun control after those shootings in san bernardino but many of those same celebrities are still

making a lot of money from violent entertainment. reporter jenna susko takes a look. >> horrifying scenes not much different than the ones at column bine or sandy hook, even the auer theater shooting. brought to the big screen. but after two massacres in hollywood's back yard. celebrities are calling for change. >> i have to just choose movies i mean that aren't violent. >> does hollywood have responsibility? >> what they are producing is not real but the emotion that it creates is real. >> it's time for our leaders to act. >> as anything in the entertainment industry really changing. >> it's a blatant double standard. >> a month after the san bernardino massacre more than 100 celebrities signed this letter to president obama saying we've had enough of seeing unthinkable tragedies happen but tim winter of the television council sees a problem. 75% of the actors signing that list have taken roles in films

depicting or glorifying gun violence. >> hollywood is addicted to gun violence because it's lucrative. >> winter says hollywood can be a powerful tool for social change, he says that proves the entertainment industry can change attitudes about gun violence too. he doesn't think that's happening. with several nominated for oscars. >> only becoming more frequent and more explosive. >> a study found gun violence in the movies has more than tripled since 1950. gun control advocate donna finkelstein isn't convinced that has impact on gun deaths. >> i don't hear a sense of connection between the media and glorification of guns. >> it's enough of a concern that president obama signed an executive action in 2013 directing the cdc to investigate the relationship between media images and violence. what about the celebrities signing that recent letter to the president.

actor liam neeson shoots dozens of people. we counted 20 films where he brandishes a gun. jessica alba signed the letter, also will ferrell. >> how many more. >> he appeared in this psa, demanding gun laws along side jamie foxx. who after this psa signed on to star in jengo and chains. and edward norton store of american history s and fight club. >> one of entertainment's powerful voices acknowledged the issue in 2014. >> i can't make one movie and say this is what i want for my kids and go out. >> since that interview he has backed a sequel and the hateful 8. >> i don't feel that the responsibility is not within the entertainment industry. and the problem is easy access to guns. >> tim winter hopes some celebrities who signed the list will pledge to stop taking such violent roles. >> you can't celebrate the good that you do without also being held accountable for the harm

that you do. >> the nra did not respond to our request. we reached out to all of the actors we named as well as the directors guild and the screen actors guild. not one of them would comment. >> to this now for the first time apple is accepting banged up iphones as trade-ins for upgrades. until now credit was only given to iphone owners if the device's screen was intact and the buttons worked. they hope more people being encouraged to upgrade to a new phone. the deal only applies to the iphone 5s and later models. well, some delays but no cancellations because of the snow in mays landing. despite the snow the roads were wet but clear for the most part. so i'm sure the kids were probably disappointed that the snow is falling and they still had to go to school.

but the good news is it didn't cause major problems. the wet snow has melted through much of the area. not everybody but tonight the areas that did see the snow melt will be going below freezing so icy spots will be a concern overnight. the weekend looks good, i think you're going to like saturday and sunday, but then we go into next week and winter's going to make a return. we're tracking snow. clouds are clearing up over center city. 42 the temperature, above freezing across the area. so we could still see some of the snow melting. the wind is up, sustained at 21 miles an hour. it's going to stay windy the rest of the efrpg, then diminishing. in the upper 30s, low 40s across much of i-95 so bensalem, wilmington, around 40, 41 degrees right now in dover. so once that wind does diminish these numbers will be dropping. with that snow we had around today, again that's going to cause some of this to freeze over on untreated surfaces. totals across the area, newtown,

pennsylvania 3.2, mount laurel, philadelphia area got about 1.5 in spots. but the snow is far away now about to move out of new england, we are dry and we're going to stay dry as we go into the weekend. big area of high pressure setting up that's going to give us more sunshine come saturday and sunday. so take a look at future weather here. tonight is going to be dry, tomorrow dry, here is your saturday. going into sunday. more sunshine. but then you start to notice a weather system to our south. that's going to move up to the north but it's going to stay offshore. all the models show this off shore but this particular model trying to swing in a little bit of light precip. we'll have to watch that. if it did it would be just rain snow mix. but the real thing wouldn't get here until about tuesday. here's what the next model shows. this weather system offshore. doesn't swing in much moisture. by tuesday we'll be between two other systems, one area of low pressure forming offshore and the other one kind of a clipper
