make sure you take it slowly when stepping out the door tonight. tonight, we have team coverage to keep you safe. >> jessica boynton is keeping an eye on the road conditions. >> and we're tracking this moving system so you know how and when this impacts you. >> we begin with glenn "hurricane" schwartz. >> we have part of the area getting no precipitation and part of the area getting rain and part of the area getting ice and part getting a little snow. it really does depend on where you are. we say it all the time but, boy, what a perfect reason for this. you can see the dry weather to the north and pink is the ice. and ice is up on contact with any surface. and the temperatures are warm enough but what i'm seeing here is a precipitation near hagerstown that may continue spreading eastward and fill in

the areas or some of the areas around the northern western suburbs that have dried out at least temporarily. but there is still plenty of freezing rain in new jersey. and much of burlington county and camden and gloucester and salem and cumberland counties in new jersey just covered with light, freezing rain and farther to the south, it's just regular rain. cape may county, temperatures fine. southern delaware, you got pounded with a snowstorm. so you get a pass for this one. it's 31 in philadelphia and in the 20s north and west. so these are the areas, of course, that are going to have the greatest threat of any kind of icing and more on the impacts of what to expect tonight here with meteorologist steve sosna. >> that's right, glenn. some of the biggest concerns are your driveways and side roads.

the main road surfaces, we have seen treatment on them and they are just wet. city sidewalks, it depends on if they've been treated. from one sidewalk to another, it may be a venture. just know that in the back of your head. also, with the slippery conditions, the temperatures are falling just a little bit. so, again, your bridges, your overpasses, on and off ramps are a concern. in allentown, the ice, the snow has shut down. areas to the south and east are not done with it just yet. this is another round of icy mix. you can see that in the pink forming here throughout the evening hours. so from philadelphia south and east, we have a couple more hours to deal with it. how much we looking at? not a lot. this is not a major storm. light glaze on your sidewalk could be the most dangerous part as you walk in and out of the house. a couple pieces of advice for you. elevated surfaces, they will freeze before your main roads and sidewalks. avoid stopping, if possible. that is the process when you're

braking that you run into trouble and don't power uphills or stop suddenly on hills. glenn, i'll have an update in a bit. >> let's check in on conditions in northeast philadelphia with lauren mayk. >> we've been on the air for two hours. how have you seen the conditions change? >> we're starting to see that sleet and rain speed up. we actually got a little break for a while and it's coming down harder. what we're worried about is the freeze that's starting to set in. let me show you what i'm talking about. take a look over here. this is just snow and you can see that it now has a layer of ice on top. this is all icy and very slippery and you can see rocks over there. let's follow where he's going. take a look. you've got to be careful. it is very slippery. this sidewalk is all wet. and he's having a little bit of fun with it. really, you've got to be careful. let me show you down here what i'm talking about. this is a wet pavement from the rain that we've been seeing and

the sleet and it's now turned to ice. so this would be the time, if you're thinking about how to avoid this happening at your house, this would be the time that you want to very carefully maybe put some salt down on your steps, on your front porch, on your driveway to avoid this happening and avoid things getting even worse in the morning. we're actually right next to a walla here and we just saw someone come down and put salt down in the front where you go in the doors and put it down on the sidewalk and on the pavement there in the parking lot to try to keep things safe for people. so that freeze is setting in. live in northeast philly, lauren mayk, nbc 10 news. >> we saw how hard it is for someone to walk on the sidewalk. imagine how it is on the untreated surfaces. turning now to jessica boynton. >> with this kind of weather falling on freezing cold surfaces, it doesn't matter what you're driving, right? >> right. it doesn't matter what you're driving. someone always told me that if you have four-wheel drive, it

doesn't make you stop, it just makes you go. don't think that because you have a four-wheel drive car it's going to help you do special things on the road, it's not. cameras are on 24th street and there's a disabled vehicle. this is the traffic that is moving towards the sukol right now. additionally, there was an accident near gerard. we're adding volume on the sukol westbound and on the westbound vine as well. other than that, the road drive times are not too bad. >> jessica, thank you. let's take a live look at storm force 10 delaware's bureau reporter tim furlong is driving along 202 in north wilmington. the roads are wet and in certain

areas as it dips below freezing on already cold surfaces, especially ones not treated, it's going to be icy out there. >> if you're heading home or heading out, make sure to take it slowly. keep your distance from other cars. this just in to the nbc 10 newsroom. atlantic city schools will be opened for the first time since thursday's snowstorm. >> remember to download the app on your phone. we send out weather alerts to keep you prepared. you can sign up to get school closings. >> one mom told us she found out about early dismissal long before she heard it. extra incentive to get that out. >> here's what it looks like. you sign up for the app with your school that your child attends and when there's a closing early or a late dismissal, we send you a text message. that way you can plan out the rest of your day and scramble to get somebody there to pick up your kids. we have new information about funeral services for the philadelphia firefighter killed in the line of duty this

weekend. lieutenant matt laterno died in the fire. he turned his love of volunteering into a year he loved. the people who knew him said he was larger than life. >> definitely was his passion. he was very much in love with his job as a fireman. >> internment will be in springfield, delaware county. since the start of the new year, three people have died in house fires. the american red cross says many fires are preventible. first, you need to be careful how you heat your home during these bone-chilling temperatures and follow the three feet rule. >> keep the portable space

heater three feet from anything. >> make sure you have smoke alarms on every floor of your home and you need a fire extinguisher that works and make sure your family knows your exit plan in case of a fire. new at 6:00, federal authorities are seized the largest shipment of cocaine to reach our region in a decade. this is what $22 million worth of cocaine looks like. ru custom agents noticed it packed into false walls and several pieces of furniture shipped from puerto rico. a broken pipe caused a nursing home in montgomery county to evacuate a nursing home in springfield township. . >> as a precaution, they shut

the weather is having an impact here at philadelphia international airport. there have been a total of 148 delays and 25 cancellations. check the flight status before heading out on the slick roads. want to get away from the wintry weather? at lehigh international airport, there are more flights heading to warm areas like ordlando, tampa, myrtle beach. >> little irony here on this

cold day. 2017 was the third warmest year in the u.s. on record. that's according to the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. only 2012 and 2016 were warmer. and it's that time of year for flu season. it's here. >> local ers and doctor's offices are busy with those who have viruses and those who need treatment from the flu. as deanna durante tells us, the flu season has arrived right on schedule. >> cold, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, that kind of stuff. >> it's what doctors see every year. >> the vaccine is not always the strength that is created. >> reporter: the problem with the flu, it can make you feel sick and run down for as long as two weeks and sometimes more. in healthy persons, you have little choice but to wait, hydrate and rest.

those who have underlying medical conditions -- >> if they are a die al tis patient or treated for cancer or an immune system that is compromised -- >> reporter: they are going to have a higher risk of flu complications. breathing is the main concern. another virus making the rounds are rsv. >> this causes fever and shortness of breath and wheezing. >> reporter: adults are now getting hit with rsv. kids and the elderly run the risk of severe complication. >> a lot of the children sick with rsv are admitted to the hospital. >> reporter: both illnesses come with a fever. no fever, then no flu. doctors warn that the virus is ramping up for 2018. wash your hands often and if you fall ill, see a doctor if you have trouble breathing. if you run a high fever or the virus hangs on more than two

weeks. deanna durante, nbc 10 news. >> and this weather surely doesn't help you feel any better. >> it is slippery out there. this is a live look at 9th street in south philadelphia. >> let's check in with glenn "hurricane" schwartz who is tracking where the icy mix has fallen. glenn? >> it's expanding not in the philadelphia area yet but it will be. it's dry to the north. the trend has continued through the afternoon. two hours ago, nothing. now the moisture is coming back towards maryland and harrisburg. that will make a right turn and head towards our area and this area will expand some more. we still have freezing rain over

much of the city of philadelphia and the southern portion of delaware county and there is a line right across theç suburbs. and northern delaware, freezing rain, same with the southern portion of chester county and now we have a changeover between the freezing rain and just plain rain to dover. dover is warm enough so that the rain is not freezing on surfaces. tabernacle, waterford, in the freezing rain category right now. temperatures are right near 32 but because the ground has been so cold for such a long time it

can be freezing on air temperatures. this is all north and west. anything damp is going to get icy. it's 27 in unionville. 26 in coatesville. 27 in exon and hatfield and bed minister and 29 in newtown. it is cold out there and it is damp and at nightfall, that's not a good combination. again, we are below freezing even in the city of philadelphia. northern delaware, greenville, wilmington, all at 30 degrees or less. but it's much warmer in southern delaware. so they are in much better shape. we continue to see this threat

of ice that could continue until 9:00. and then you see the precipitation finally moving out for tomorrow and then it will be cold in the morning and could be icy spots, especially in your driveway. getting two or above, and after that, it gets even warmer. more snow is melting. 53 on thursday and rain wouldn't come in until thursday night. we have weather that people are going to enjoy for a lot of days. there's thursday with the rain. and there we are for thursday. by the time the eagles are playing, it's going to get warmer and then start to cool down as we get ready for kickoff

and that means the wind will pick up as temperatures go down again. i'm john clark. history is on the birds' side and why one player in the game is shaving his dreadlocks. that is next.

a number one seed has been an underdog to the sixth seed. they are tied for the best record in the nfl and they are underdogs. the eagles defense, they don't like to hear that. they've been really good this year. really good, except for a game or two. the birds are underdogs because of the carson effect. but hey, philly, we're used to being underdogs here. ro rocky is one of our symbols. he said, hey, this is nothing new this year. >> we've been expecting this all year. we're a team and week in and week out, we just come out and we ring the bell every week. it just adds fuel to the fire and that's what this team has been going off of all year. we've been tipping our shoulder and people doubting us every week. we want to shake those doubters up. >> i like that. the birds have been here before. three times they have been underdogs at home in the

playoffs. they are 3-0, winning by an average of 17 points. again, this is the philly way. they are underdogs against the cowboys when they went to the super bowl and last time they were an underdog 17 years ago, jonathan mcnabb for the first time, they won. this is our eagles road to victory special. >> time to make history. we don't listen to anything outside this building. we're focused on that and we know what we can do at home. we work hard for the home game advantage for a reason. with that crowd, you know, and our energy and everything that we bring to the table, we like our odds. >> how about this. one falcon player is taking this so seriously, he cut his dreadlocks. he cut it because he had green in them. he tweeted that the green got the go. we have philly coming up.

don't worry, these dreadlocks are not the falcon colors. he's good to go. the 6ers are on their way to london. and good news for noel, he's getting ready to playback to back for the first time at the end of the month. hopefully that happens. i'm john clark. back to you. >> he will feel reborn. all right, john clark. thank you. left out in the cold. >> neighbors in a delaware county housing community tell us that they've been without heat and water for days. we find out what is going on.
