app. you can see the snow falling out there and i'm sure it's wet at this point. some places are getting more snow and some are getting rain. you are all set to go. on the fox 5 weather . let's look at the morning commute. it's a snowy one out there and it's a mix of heavy and wet snow for the early morning commute . it's now until 10:00 am and it's just snowfall from 10:00 1:00. it will start shutting down from the west to the east as time goes on. we had throughout the afternoon and temperatures will be fairly mild. here is what we expect. two 4 inches for the white shaded area. if you are in long island

it's really going to slow up your morning commute . it's northwest and you are missing out on the heavier totals. right now, we have 340 in belmar and 33 in central park.your temperatures are not quite freezing and that's why a lot of that snow is not sticking yet . once we get down to 320 it will really start to stick and that will start hours. it will become a problem out there. we have a lot of slippery spots out there around the tri-state region. here's the area of low pressure. it will go along the frontal boundary and it will go down to the nor'easter. it pushes down with a cold air and really goes down northward today. i don't think the snow will stick around for long.

morning commute. keep in mind with a high temperature at 400. 460 on sunday and both of those are in the rain and snow chance looking like a mix on tuesday now . >> let's get you over to ines. >> street cleaning rules are suspended in the five boroughs. if you look at problems we have accidents this morning with the bronx in the accident southbound on third street. it's blocking two lanes and we have delays there with a problem in an accident merging getting cleared away with an overturned tractor-trailer on 78 eastbound by exit 33. let's look at the commute. an accident is working here westbound as you approach the expressway . most of the accident is off to the shoulder but you can see that it's tough to see out there. you could see the delays as

as for the reds river parkway , you are fine with no delays heading into the city. the same goes for holland in the george washington bridge. >> apparently, the nypd says don't worry if you fall asleep on the subway. it's okay. the commissioner raise some eyebrows when he said officers would be waking up the sleeping writers. officials clarified that. >> they change their tune. ben: people are dozing off, officers will not bother waking them but , they will wake up a person if they had a cell phone out in the open or anything else of value that could be a target . the police chief calls it a common sense approach. >> is a busy week for the new york city council. they rained in mayor diblasio's plan to overhaul the horse carriage industry . it's another big item on the agenda.>> stacy is here .

own pay.>> it would be good. >> isn't that a little bit awkward? >> obviously most of them will say, hey, we deserve it. >> regarding the payraise many will say they deserve a 32% increase. it's a big amount . the advisory commission recommended that councilmembers get a raise of 25,000 in return for giving up outside income. councilmembers say their job is so tough that they deserve more. currently, they make hundred $12,000 per year. the commission has recommended they get hundred and 38 thousand but the council wants $148,500. the councilmembers haven't had a raise since 2006 but the 32% increase may not sit well with voters. the council tackles another issue that we have been talking about for a long time. that's the horse carriage industry. the mayor

counseled the number of characters and he wants to bring it down to 75 and bring it to central park but the city council canceled the vote after the union who represents the carriage drivers pulled its support.the mayor says despite the setback, he hasn't given up . >> we are going to find a way forward. we are disappointed that the vote won't happen tomorrow. >> i think it's been talked about for a very long time. at several different iterations in its wise to move on at this point. >> the horse carriages are still free to roam the streets for now. we haven't seen the one. this has gone on for quite a long time and it's a battle that continues . we will see if they come up another compromise . >> the mayor is extending a lot of political capital. they are encouraging them

>> he pledged he would do this. it has taken longer than people thought. >> thank you, stacy. >> did you ever get a salad at mcdonald's? you might want to forget about it. apparently some of the salads are less healthy than a big mac. >> i believe that. with the dressings and stuff on top that looks

>> i'm neil patrick harris and new york is my home. no place has more world class culture. come winter, i can't wait to visit our must-see collections of art and superb photography and film. new york has beautifully restored theaters, that are now important centers for the performing arts. and museums that preserve the glories of the past. winter in new york state means more great things to do than ever. plan your trip at iloveny.com

ben: mike woods tells us how much snow we will get and when it will be out of here. ines is keeping an eye on the roads.

the bronx and the gunman killed himself. a new jersey man was arrested after he flew his drone into the side of the empire state building. >> he did something a lot of evil think is pretty stupid. >> you could call it a lifesaving site. find out how tender helps a woman on long island. >> very interesting. >> i am teresa. although . >> it is friday morning. very fit.it's pretty chilly outside but right around the freezing mark. the snow is falling. let's go to mike woods. how much will he get? >> the models bring it into the close in we get a significant snow for most of us here in the tri-state. we are missing out to the west into the north seeing

most of us are seeing two 4 inches in the white shaded area. it's four 8 inches of snow coming through and just getting going.snow cover roads with bridges in the overpass as they tend to ice up first. here's the live radar with the snow line not all the way east but making its way out toward sussex county. more cold air is being pulled in and the current temperature is 330 in islip. 33 in belmar and 32 when it starts to thicken. we are not quite there yet . the wind comes in from the north that 10 20 mph and it pulls in more of the cold air to help and make the change. it hasn't happened completely. snow totals and accumulations haven't been a huge problem but slick spots are happening and again, the general trend is

the east. this will be with us throughout the morning commute . this is the area of low pressure pulling it together with a coastal low in the area. it's only going to be here for the morning commute. it's not here for long. 40 is a high temperature later in the afternoon and we get sunshine in their with snow not sticking around much because we have sunny skies over the weekend with high temperatures in the low 40s. the low will be with another snow chance. still trying to hang tough. >> let's bring in ines and see what's going on. the roads will be slick but ac . >> it will be one of those mornings. >> street cleaning rules have been suspended citywide . they are trying to treat the roadways with some salt.

southbound with two lanes blocked. on the major deacon there is a big accident by 33rd st. on the freeway, if you travel southbound, there is an accident by co-op city with one lane closed. in new jersey eastbound on exit 33 with a tractor-trailer flipped over blocking one lane to the south. there could be rubbernecking delays before fine. watch out for the accident by 136. this happened one hour ago. it's hard to see visibility but i want to show you the flashing lights. you can see the traffic moving slowly on and off. here is the lie as you approach the expressway. use the parkway . as far as the trains last look at the checklist. everything is running on schedule. >> long island could see the most snow out of the system. let's go back to lidia as

conditions there. you said the li double r was still running. is that still the case? >> that is still the case. once again it says everything is on time. i have no idea what i did to upset you guys ! i am just kidding. it is a coastal storm. it's a heavy sloppy snow. you can see it here on the ground. it sticking towards newbridge road and you can see the cards are moving. you could see the salt spreaders on the lie. again, we went inside to the li double r station here . service was suspended the entire day as well as the day after.
