st. louis and where you have that clashing air mass you have this almost conveyer belt of heavy moisture between the two zones and the northern end of that cold enough for snow on the brink of it and ice and south of that you have the rain and all of this is moving straight up to the northeast to the mid-atlantic and our area. and ta touk more about the timing of that change over and when winter storm warnings go into effect for where you live lets bring in cecily tynan. >> the further south you are the more snow you see. the weather service has posted winter storm warnings for almost the entire area, the exception is the areas we typically see more snow like the poconos and the lehigh valley this is how it advances this sets up the low pressure moving to the south and this brings in the

additional moisture as the high pressure pulls down the arctic air this means a changeover to snow and it will happen to the north to the south the lehigh valley a change over to rain and sleet and then snow happening between 10:00 tonight and 1:00 tomorrow morning. the philadelphia metro area, any area about 25 miles away from the i-95 corridor the change over from 1:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the morning, central and southern delaware in new jersey from 4:00 to 7:00, areas like millville and atlantic city, you probably won't see the change over until dawn, as far as the impact the morning commute a major impact. we expect the heaviest snow to be falling and stay off the roads if you can. by the evening commute, light snow and accumulation and a moderate impact for traveling friday morning the snow is out of here and nothing falling from the sky and there is still slick spots and minor problems for the

valley and nashville they are expecting a major ice storm out of this, and warnings extend to philadelphia and the entire delaware valley but the lehigh valley is under an advisory and the poconos where less snow is expected to fall with the heaviest totals being south of philadelphia yet again. here is the storm timeline in and around the area this is the heart of the delaware valley, the change over time is 1:00 in the morning and the heaviest accumulating snow from 6:00 a.m. until noon and at 5:00 tomorrow afternoon the snow tapers off into the evening rush tomorrow. we'll take a look at the totals we have not moved them much but put a bull's-eye area of who we expect to see the most snow. >> i don't want to be in the bull's-eye. >> in this business of snow tonight is a welcome change the reason is many of our local storms have been all about this.

as "action news" reporter chad pradelli found out removal crews would much rather deal with plowable snow than any amount of ice. he is live in havertown to explain. >> reporter: well ice means more worthy about last night trying to get the ice off your car it took 15 to 20 minutes, you have some snow it takes about 5 minutes, it's a busy winter for snow removal contractors the sounds of salt spreaders are prevalent this winter we haven't had the proverbial big one with you a bunch of nuisance storms and contractors that clear snow and ice for businesses and homeowners. >> you have last year you couldn't get a break, it was a big volume year. >> ask any contractor and they will take a foot of snow over a

trace of ice ice means work and man hours and product. >> the salt is not effective, where out on the roads everybody is running it over and getting mixed in everywhere. >> we try to buy enough salt but we are using so much salt this year because of the news an storms we need more salt. >> joseph was among the dozen contractors waiting for salt to be dropped off at the supplier in havertown. but mother nature's latest blow appears to be cooperating 4 to 8 inches of white powder is expected. >> this is more our speed hit it, not suppose to get mixed precipitation, none of that. >> despite all of that, the contractors say the money is good but not great it's a cut throat business with lots of players involved and homeowners and businesses want the best

price and if you don't come with the best price you lose the gig. >> all right thank you chad. >> some people are having trouble finding salt after all the smaller snow and ice storms this winter. richard's paving in newcastle is contracted to clear and treat local roads they called nine different places for a bulk shipment. they resorted to posting a craigslist ad and as of this afternoon no one has responded to that request. over in wilmington, diamond chemical sold 40 pallets of rock salt this morning, more people were lined up to buy it when the action cam stopped by the owner stocked up when he heard about the next storm it looks like a feeding frenzy with ice melt. this storm is a surprise you don't usually get a storm of this magnitude this late in the

season and when my wife informed me we would get a foot of snow or 10 inches i made sure i had product here. >> they will have a dozen pallets of salt delivered before the end of the day. >> stick with website/weather can you always find storm tracker radar and the seven-day forecast and check our list of local school closings and delays, and the action news morning team will be up to guide you through the morning commute. we have the latest from accuweather and the hardest hit regions and constantine updates on the roads. >> a man charged with child pornography is facing new allegations and "action news" learned he will be locked up until his trial. they argued to keep mark haines in jail after the judge game him

outside of the rite-aid and moments later a man in a blue suv pulled up and took the puppy into his car. if you recognize this dog thief call philadelphia police. it's one year since a massive explosion rocked one ewing neighborhood. one woman was killed and anchor rick williams is live in the newsroom with more on this. >> thank you that explosion was triggered by some contractors who accidentally hit a gas main at a condo complex, some 55 homes were destroyed or damaged and now a year later some of the homes that survived the blast are still boarded up and being repaired. coming up tonight at 5:00, new jersey correspondent, nora muchanic talked to one man hurt in the explosion and has nightmares about what happened. coming up tonight, a presidential candidate makes

controversial remarks about why people are gay. why dr. ben carson says people choose to be homosexual. some stories we are following on "action news" at 5:00. until then back to the studio. >> thank you. yesterday right here we showed you the 400 foot ice luge built by a berks county dad and here is another example of a dad check out this igloo bar in new hampshire. a crafty resident of stafford built the digs out of a giant snow drift and includes caves and tunnels and lights and decorations and of course booze the so-called dam bar took 65 hours to finish. >> he will be sad when this all melt as way i'm sure. still ahead style on demand how you can get a personal shopper to ship you hand picked clothes

police say former prison guard was behind a shooting spree in mand. investigators say he fired bullets on occupied vehicles and near a movie theater and mall and hit the headquarters of the national security agency the locations were in a 12 mile radius in the baltimore-washington suburbs

they said it brought back painful memories of the d.c. sniper attacks of 2002. no one was seriously hurt. the father of a rape victim took out some of his anger by smashing her attacker's suv. the enraged dad destroyed dustin moffit's car. he says he repeatedly raped his daughter since the age of 13 and stalked the girl and slapped and chocked her on occasion they only caught him because he posted a video of one of the rapes online and her father says she was too scared to come forward. >> a sanitation is behind bars for getting to work too early kevin mcgill was sentenced to 30 days in jail for violating an orderance, saying workers could only haul trash from 7:00 a.m.

until 7:00 p.m., he was cited for picking up the trash at 5:00 a.m. one morning he couldn't believe when the prosecutor asked the judge for the maximum punishment. >> i was stunned and shocked. >> fines don't seem to work. that prosecutor there bill reilly makes no apologies for locking up garbage collectors, they are a nuisance to sleeping residents and mcgill was on the job for three months and now has to spend the next 14 weekends in jail while he works during the week of course after 7:00 in the morning. oh boy. here is the big talkers and an apology from a ceo for the way she treated working moms before she had a child alone. she is embarrassed by her previous actions like scheduling meetings and when mothers could not go out after work, now for mothers in the workplace it's

bull he is 175 pounds and just 8 months old and his parents run a kennel called dark dynasty canines and they say he is a gentle giant and his best friend is his 9-month-old son jordan. the family says that hulk went through extensive training and no matter the breed it's about how you raise them, but breeding dogs this large can lead to health problems and a shorter life span, he is technically a puppy and could get bigger than that. >> he is a good musician as well. >> i like him. thanks very much. lets get a check of the roads now. matt pellman is in the traffic

center. as we look outside we can barely see here on 422, the bottom line is it won't take as long to get home as it did yesterday but it will take extra time especially on 422 westbound is a parking lot from this point at 29 a disabled bus up ahead and it's off to the side and it's causing extra heavy delays for the westbound travellers headed out towards pottstown getting dense fog reports, one of them 309 in quakertown and in quakertown itself a gas main break along franklin street. also having traffic light troubles again along the roosevelt boulevard at front street, that means no cross traffic is allowed there. red conditions with speeds like 11 and 12 miles per hour on the vine and schuylkill westbound you have a broken down vehicle in the right hand lane outside of 30th street station.
