moving this evening. the whole way south from woodhaven down toward the vine our earlier broken down truck here in the work zone is gone but the speeds really haven't picked up. those travel times are three times what they ideally should be. earlier crash on the roosevelt boulevard southbound after broad street is gone but you're still looking at extra heavy delays in both directions. this is the northbound parking lot coming all right schuylkill on up toward broad. still have that vehicle into the building in nockamixon county along easton road at kent interroad. there's a fuel speed near 412 durham road. a fuel spill if you're trying to get to the delaware memorial bridge speeds just like 12 miles per hour because two lanes are blocked at the bridge. commodore barry to the north may be a better bet trying to get into south jersey but all the bridges have speed restrictions because of the weather and here on our good buddy ben, the ben franklin bridge really heavy westbound traffic headed in towards center city. so, the weather not cooperating, traffic not cooperating but good luck getting home rick and monica. >> thanks a lot. >> always so helpful.

between getting there and not getting there. >> we got to do a better job of just finishing. i think for the most part of the season we did pretty well. a lost injuries happened. nick getting hurt, different guys on the team getting hurt, to have to deal with that but just have to do a better job. >> coming up at 6:00 more with mccoy, will he be back next year. he'll talk about his contract situation and field some questions from a couple very lucky little eagles fans. of course the super bowl has been overshadowed this week by deflate-gate. we've heard from bill belichick and tom bad about it. frankly just a lot of hot air. excuse the pun. we hadn't heard from commissioner goodell. he says the league is conducting a "serious and thorough investigation." >> we are focusing principally on two questions. why were some footballs used in the game that were not in compliance with the rules and was this the result of deliberate action. i want to emphasize we have

made no judgments on these points. and we will not compromise the investigation by engaging in speculation. >> belichick and pete carol held their obligatory pose and smile and then they fielded questions about their teams. >> everybody's in good shape for us, we're ready to go. we fortunately made it through without anybody getting nicked and got as healthy as we could have hoped to be at this time of the year so we're ready for it and it's really getting close, we can feel it and we're ready for game time. >> i don't know if fun is the word i would use. it's been a huge challenge and it's a tough team to prepare for but i can certainly have all the respect in the world for them. i can see why they were the champions last year, why they're here again this year. they do so many things well on so many levels and we're going to have to try to match that performance on sunday. >> they seem thrilled to be sitting next to each otherring for a team that figured they had to win almost 75 percent of their remaining games just to have a shot at the playoffs

the players are sticking to their math. the flyers back on the ice this morning after beating winnipeg five to two. nick schultz snapped a tie in the second with his first goal if 126 games his first as a flier. nine-point out of the final playoff spot with 32 games to go. stranger things have happened. >> if we can just keep shortsighted right now just focus on what's next rather than what's happening two weeks from now it will be a much better situation for this team. if we can just take it one game at a time i think we'll understand that, you know, one game is much more manageable than winning 15 so i think that's the way we have to approach it. >> and coming up at 6:00 rick and monica, ducis rodgers jeff skversky and myself will make our super bowl predictions. you will not want to miss that. >> we'll be watching. can't wait. thank you jamie. >> all righty. can't wait.

>> could be a little dicey. cecily has the latest. >> sunday flight is when the main event looms in. we have a got a lot of cold. storm tracker 6 live double

scan -- rick is being very quiet over there -- showing that we do have a band of some -- a broken bands of snow squalls working through our region. the most intense right now over 206 another one in the new jersey turnpike. you'll notice though how they're going from the pink to the white and that's a sign that these are really losing their intensity. also we have some real intense ones about two hours ago in parts of montgomery and berks county and now you can see really they're just some snow showers working through. but this is an indication of that cold air that's moving in and temperatures are going to be dropping very quickly tonight. right now in philadelphia 34 degrees. down from our high of 42. it was actually pretty nice earlier today with lots of sunshine. relatively mild. millville was 34. allentown is 30. reading 29 and the poconos currently 16 dreams you factor in the winds currently the wind chills 22 degrees in philadelphia, 17 in allentown 14 in lancaster and 20 in wilmington but wind chills will be dropping down below

zero as we led through the overnight hours. so friday night 9 o'clock tonight going out for a date, going out to dinner you definitely what happened to bundle up. wimp at 9 o'clock will generally be in the single digits and tomorrow morning around 6 o'clock, they'll be below zero and then when the time you wake up and go outside, 8:30, 2 degrees in philadelphia, one in millville, atlantic city one. if you're skiing in the poconos, take a lot of breaks and don't forget those glove warmers because wind chills will be down close to 20 degrees below zero. satellite6 along with action radar showing another indication these snow squalls are really dying up. the clouds are beginning to break up so we will have clearing skies in the overnight hours. so that system is weakening but we've got a strengthening storm system across the desert southwest. the actual low pressure is near arizona. this is just beginning to get organized, beginning to gather moisture and that's a system that will be rolling in sunday night. so, future tracker showing the timing. looks like the moisture will be moving in between about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and 8 o'clock in the evening. it will be light at the onset.

mainly snow, perhaps a little bit of mixing south of philadelphia. as we head through the overnight hours when everybody's sleeping around 1 o'clock, this is when it really intensifies with a track just south of philadelphia this is not going to be a snow event for everyone. south jersey parts of delaware there's going to be a lost mixing in with rain. so expected snowfall, a tight gradient with this system. it really depends on where you are. southern cape may county, southern kent county delaware, you're looking at less than an inch of snow. atlantic city through millville, through just north of dover 1 to 3 inches and the immediate philadelphia area, i think we will see some mixing on monday so that will drop the totals down to 3 to 6 inches. then you get to the northern suburbs. this is where it's going to stay as all snow if this track continues and that means from doylestown north of trenton pottstown up through the lehigh valley and the poconos we're looking at some pretty heavy accumulations. the potential of 6 to 12-inches of snow when all is said and done on monday.

monday afternoon it all rolls out. so, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, bright sunshine tomorrow. 28 degrees. but wind chills in the low teens. on sunday, that light snow arriving in the evening. 36 degrees. intensifying and mixing with the rain and sleet by monday morning. 31 degrees. and behind that system on tuesday, even colder than tomorrow the high only 22 degrees. we have a quick rebound on wednesday, up to 37 degrees and then a chance of snow returning on thursday with a high of 35 degrees and then temperatures drop again with a afternoon high of only 27 degrees. so, you see the pattern very unsettled. we have a chance of snow, it gets cold, it gets a little bit warmer, we have another chance of snow and that snow is depart on the track. if the track changes a little bit snow amounts will change as well and i'll have an update at 11:00. >> if seattle wins we only get 3-inches patriots win we get 6-inches. go seattle.
