wilmington and dover so these are the locations where we had record-low temperatures this morning. allentown minus one and 1 degree at the airport there in atlantic city. this is what you felt, however, when you stepped outside early this morning. wind chills below zero, 34 degrees below zero this morning in the poconos, 17 below in philadelphia, fifteen below in wildwood and 20 degrees below zero in trenton. now, early this afternoon and early this evening we do have a bit of a recovery. it feels like 4 degrees currently in philadelphia from where we were earlier today. zero in the poconos, wind chill currently in wildwood of three. same thing in dover. we are tracking some changes just in time for the start our weekend. storm tracker 6 live double scan radar showing you snow breaking out in atlanta, same thing nashville tennessee so there's an area of low pressure. the low is over texas but this will work its way from a southwest to northeast direction as early as overnight tonight and into the day on saturday. so, winter storm watch for philadelphia, areas to the north and west and advisory for the purple shaded counties as we are tracking snow change testifying sleet, ice and a

gradual changeover to rain. we'll talk about the details and expected snowfall, rickey rick, with the accuweather forecast. >> all right melissa. thank you. let's switch now to "action news" reporter david henry live in overbrook where residents continue to deal with a big ice problem there. >> reporter: yeah, the cold weather out here is causing all sorts of problems not the least of which is a situation we've got here in overbrook park. i could show you some frozen cars but there's a truck blocking the view but look up this alley behind me. you see that? that is a glacier of ice caused by a leak coming from an unoccupied house for days. the cold has become invented and down right dangerously. >> it's super cold out here, very cold reporter: what are you doing out here. >> i'm about to go see my grandmom see how she's doing. >> reporter: a won't reason to be outside today. the streets of center city were just about deserted as others stayed inside as long as they could. when they did venture out they tried to get where they're going as quickly as possible

with as many layers as possible. >> i'm wearing lots of layers today. it's helping. >> reporter: and sunshine is helping a little bit. >> a little bit. i mean, my face is cold but i'm good otherwise. >> reporter: it was a day for ear muffs on the ear buds. are you listening to bob marley right now. >> i am not. >> reporter: something warm, though right. >> no, unfortunately not. >> reporter: not frozen. >> no, not frozen. i am frozen but i'm not listening to frozen. >> reporter: some have learned better than others to cope with this frozen landscape. >> i'm used to this weather because i've boone doing it for so many years i'm used to it now. >> reporter: and you got a coat that you can house a small family in apparently. >> could fit like maybe one or two people in here, yes. >> reporter: the cold weather caused a real mess in the alley way behind the 7500 block of brookhaven road in overbrook park. robert fletcher was going nowhere as he tried to get to work this morning. his car was stuck in about 6-inches of solid ice.

the problem is an unoccupied neighboring house a water pipe has been leaking from the house sending a freezing river of ice down the entire lender of the alley way. >> this water be running like for a few days now man. so this is what happened. each day the ice get built up higher and higher. >> reporter: and the problem extends well beyond the alley way. the water has flowed down 76th street trapping cars in ice out here. the philadelphia water department says it's nothing they can do. they can't help with this because the problem belongs to the homeowner. it's up to the homeowner to get that leaking pipe fixed. hopefully these folks might get some relief if the street department comes along and bumps a load of salt on all of this. live in overbrook park, david henry channel6 "action news." monica. >> thank you david. you can share the wintry conditions in your area with the 6abc storm tracker a use the report your weather feature to let us know what's happening in your hometown. you can submit photos of any snow and ice you see. the 6abc storm tracker app is

be dangerous to your health. it's important to know that the signs of serious conditions like frost bite and hypothermia. reporter and registered nurse ali gorman is at the "action news" big board with more. hi ali. >> hi, sharrie. some areas saw record cold temperatures with an average wind chill between minus 15 to minus 25. that means it only takes about 15 to 30 minutes for frost bite to set in if you have exposed skin. again, the cold can be very dangerous to your health. you have to take precautions. facing freezing cold temperatures today many people were moving quickly in the city limiting their time outside. >> pain, like your skin feels like all these little pins. >> reporter: that tingling feeling she describes plus numbness pain or skin color changes are early signs of frost bite. hypothermia can start with shivering. if it progresses, shivering stops, confusion drowsiness and slurred speech can set in. this is a medical emergency.

both frost bite and hypothermia are real health dangers. when temperatures dip close to the teens. so staying dry and bundling up is fifty eight today. >> how many layers are we talking here. >> four. >> reporter: stanley flier man tells me he doesn't mind the cold but he also takes the necessary precautions. >> double socks layers, layers and layers. >> reporter: he's got the right idea. you lose the most heat from your head and torso. but smaller areas such as fingers, toes, ears and nose typically suffer frost bite first. if you or your loved ones go outside, make sure they have layers, a hat scarf mittens and warm boots. lauren baxter and her son jacob aren't from philadelphia. they say the conditions here are a break for them. >> it's actually nice because we drove down from massachusetts yesterday and to see snow bank that is aren't 7 feet high is wonderful. >> reporter: now, everyone

can get frost bite or hypothermia but there are some groups who respect especially at risk. babies, because they can lose heat more quickly so even if you have them inside you want to make sure that they're kept warm. seniors also lose heat quickly. be sure to check on them. the mentally ill because they may not take the necessary precautions and people with heart disease. when it's so cold, your harder has to work harder to keep you warm so it can spark problems. the key is staying warm and dry. monica. >> all right, thank you ali. philadelphia police are still looking for a missing woman tonight. they are worried she might be out in the frigid cold. mildred rim was last seen wednesday night at her home in the city's wynnefield section. police say she has dementia and often what happens from home. she was last seen wearing a purple jacket, black pants and brown shoes. anyone with information is asked to call philadelphia police right away. >> a group of local students trying to get fake id's were busted because of a case of mistaken identity. radnor police say these fake

>> melissa is here. wickedly cold weather. then we have earlier snow and maybe more than we first thought. >> yeah, that's right looks like the snow is coming in faster than expected on saturday and accumulation looks to be higher especially north and west because that cold is really going stick there guys. so we'll show you what's going on storm tracker 6 live double scan radar you can see that it is dry and quiet. the issue today and issue this morning, the record cold and there's more record cold expected later on tonight before the snow arrives just in time for the start of our weekend. the high today in philadelphia just 18 degrees and currently we're coming in at 17 here in philadelphia, nine in the poconos, 14 for allentown reading and lancaster. along the coast in atlantic city 16, same thing for wildwood and dover. do you have those wind chills to factor in.

they've been pretty constant most of the day early this morning we had wind chills anywhere from 17 below here in philadelphia to 35 below in the poconos. right now we have single digit wind chills. it feels like four in the city, two for allentown and reading, zero in lancaster and 3 degrees currently along the coast in wildwood. here's satellite6 along with action radar. you can see it's mostly clear and quiet from new england all the way down across the midatlantic region so high pressure is in control. the winds will start to subside and diminish for the rest of tonight and with decreasing winds on the way a there are more records to watch later on tonight and overnight. for philadelphia the record is six. we're calling for a low tonight of seven but pretty close to record territory for allentown, trenton wilmington and atlantic city with either records tonight below zero or in the single digits so we have to watch out for that. we'll widen out the picture here. satellite6 along with action radar shows you our next area of low pressure that we're tracking, it's a low coming out of texas and you could see the precip kind of spilling out ahead of the area of low pressure so snow across the

tennessee valley even rain across its deep south. this will work its way from a southwest to northeast direction as early as tomorrow. so future tracker 6 actually speeding up the arrival time of that snow by noontime you could see it's breaking out across our far northwest suburbs from the poconos down to lancaster. it continues to overspread from a southwest to northeast direction as we get into 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon with that snow along the 95 corridor, it will continue at 6:30 in the evening, so you might want to think about some alternative plans if you're stepping out on the town for some dinner perhaps on saturday. but you notice we do already find that transition from snow over to sleet. if not some mixed precipitation and rain across south jersey. 9:30 tomorrow night we'll start to find a transition from snow to a little bit of mixed precipitation along the 95 corridor but rain for the city areas south and east. mixed precipitation across our immediate northwest suburbs but that snow hangs on north and west. as we get into the overnight hours, however everyone looks to be above freezing where you get that transition from snow

to any mixed precip to rain but it still holds on for lehigh county up through the poconos. by midday on sunday morning you could see moisture moves out, clouds break for some sunshine and temperatures on sunday will actually be in the middle and lower 40's so sunday afternoon we'll start to salvage a little bit of that weekend. expected snowfall 1 to 2 inches for south jersey and delaware. two to four as you move along that 95 corridor for trenton philadelphia and wilmington. about four to 6-inches for lancaster northern montgomery and bucks reading allentown and the poconos and it does look like that snow will hold on a little longer for areas north and west of town. saturday snow is what we're calling for, afternoon and evening thumping. temperatures have been well below freezing and we've had this extreme cold for sometime so the roads will quickly slick over. this will be a heavy wet snow. light icing is possible and then changing over to rain in many locations. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast showing you tomorrow high temperature of 33. afternoon and evening snow on the way.

on sunday, up to 46 degrees after some early showers and late day sun so sunday doesn't look to be bad by the afternoon. monday the bitter cold returns with a high of 23. and that sticks cold sticks around and we're tracking the snow. >> thanks melissa. the view outside the theater in hollowed will look pretty different. >> our own alicia vitarelli is in hollywood for all the excitement. >> we're here on the red carpet. this is where all of the oscars action will happen on sunday. and as the preparations are set for hollywood's biggest night, the host is also getting ready. neil patrick harris has hosted many awards show before but this is his first time at the helm of hollywood's biggest night. >> ♪♪ >> reporter: he sings, he dances he acts. >> legendary. >> reporter: and now this triple threat is about to pull off the triple crown of awards show hosting.
