3:00 this afternoon one man got out just fine, this building is owned by a development corporation, it was being used for offices and art studios and it was being renovated. it's believed that the snow and ice likely played some role but the ongoing construction may have been a factor. this is an area of warehouses and a few homes nearby and residents describe what they heard and saw. >> i heard a crash i thought maybe a transformer blew, and then i went out side, i took a few seconds and i looked up and i seen daylight through the windows and i said oh that is more than a transformer blowing. >> it sounded like a freight train and a bunch of car accidents i look over and i saw debris and it looks like smoke but just snow blowing off the roof. >> as we look back live, a woman came by the scene a short time

ago, she is a volunteer with the kensington south development corporation, they put in for a grant to repair the roof a few days ago and she agrees that the snow likely played a factor in this roof caving in this afternoon. i'm sara bloomquist channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. we are keeping a close eye on roads all day long, mobile 6 is driving right now heading north on broad street, just know this conditions incredibly treacherous out there it's very slick and slippery you are urged to stay off the roads if you do not have to be on them. we'll have a complete check of traffic conditions in about 10 minutes. lets get a look at delaware the action cam is showing us conditions in wilmington and that snow is coming down at a steady flow and fortunately the roads are not filled out there. one or two cars passing now.

get towed away, people are slipping and sliding and if you head out now you run the risk of doing just that be prepared if you go out and throw a shovel in the trunk. one stop in exton this is the wramp from 100 westbound a spinning truck here that just cleared out they got that towed away and that ramp reopened. wilmington and newark and they are not running because of amtrak problems and cynwyd line just resumed service, we'll talk more in the next half hour. >> thank you matt. now, to the exclusive accuweather forecast, as we wait for snow to move out, people on twitter are like, will it ever end? >> it feels endless and once it goes the frigid air fileters in. adam joseph is here and you are just a messenger i don't know

areas this was the last area to turn from rain to snow. it was wet and heavy earlier and now light and fluffy, so underneath the light and flurry snow, there is a lot of slush and water content in the snow pack and that will turn to concrete tomorrow morning. visibility is greatly reduced u. you can't see much from the pagoda cam and this will dramatically increase over the next half hour to 40 minutes, jump to allentown where the snow stops 10 mile visibility and we'll watch the numbers quickly pop up from the northwest to the southeast where in wildwood now, zero visibility with heavy snow, only 19 to the north and west, 21 in philadelphia and mid to upper 20s to the south, future tracker showing at 7:30 the only areas seeing the snow at that point is the shore. 21 allentown and 22 in

is live in delaware but first lets go to adam joseph for the latest on what is left of the winter storm. >> not much left in the far northwestern suburbs, parts of lancaster and the lehigh valley and northern parts of buck county still snowing heavily south and east of philadelphia, moderate snow from middletown, smyrna in delaware and you bump over the bay, elmer is dealing with light to moderate snow but a heavy band from atlantic city right down the garden state parkway to sea isle city and you can see the snow in avalon stone harbor and cape may and this is about an inch per hour and a quick accumulation of that light fluffy snow in cape may county where it took the longest to flip from rain today to sleet to snow this after non-.

future tracker shows that clearing line will push from the north to the west and all the snow will be off the coast by 8:00 and temperatures continue to drop into the lower 20s area wide, even in southern areas by this evening, and in fact snow totals in roxborough and that section of philadelphia closing in close to 6 inches officially, king of prussia now taking the jackpot at 9.1 inches coatesville and chester county 8 inches and mount laurel 6.7 inches of snow so far. if you want to listen to anything try to clear off your car tonight and shovel off the driveways and sidewalks if you don't underneath the fluffy snow it's wet and heavy and that will freeze solid tonight. as we get record lows pushing in by tomorrow morning. we'll talk about those numbers and much warmer numbers in the seven day coming up. >> thank you.

a snowy scene in conshohocken the action cam caught a few slow drivers, and they had plows to clear their path and these kids not about to let this perfect packing snow pass them by they were building a wall for their snowy igloo. >> looks like fun nora muchanic is out on both sides of the delaware river she joins us live from norrisville with conditions in bucks county. >> reporter: hi there we are on east bridge street right now on this hour on a normal day is filled with traffic, state workers leaving and coming to the pennsylvania side, not today tons of people have stayed indoors, morrisville is just one town in buck county that is digging out this evening, and the snow is still falling, earlier today we visited yardley for a look at things there and one woman that is trying to think positively. >> 46 or 47. so it's getting there.

march, in like a lion and out like a lamb. >> that lion roared dumping 6 inches all of it has to be flowed or shoveled up. >> make a parking lot and you have to dig yourself out. >> i'm ready for spring get outside and hopefully do some fishing soon. >> he won't be fishing in lake afton that is frozen solds that means the ducks are standing not swimming. >> there were not a lot of trucks on the road today. >> moving slow, that makes common sense you have the whole road to yourself basically. across the delaware river the transit center was closed today and the light rail was still operating and state offices as well as schools and businesses were closed. crews did what they could for

those that have to travel. >> i work in new york city, and i would like to be home that is true. >> i am back home because my job did not let me know that they were closing until i got to the job and now i'm trying to make it back home. >> now that is frustrating, you are looking at east bridge street in morrisville for that's that went to work it's snowing all day long, the commute home will be difficult. live in morrisville i'm nora muchanic, channel 6 "action news." >> that lady deserved feet up and glass of wine. the action cam captured a beautiful but empty shot of the ben franklin parkway, few people were spotted braving the outdoors and those that were out were on a mission especially those that had to work clearing the sidewalks and street they

will be busy for most of the day as the snow continues to fall, officials in delaware urge people to stay off the roads today. unfortunately not everybody heeded the warning and that led to accidents chad pradelli is live now in newcastle he has details on that. >> reporter: hey brian we have seen several accidents that sent several people to the hospital we experienced a steady snowfall and the wind is blowing and we have 4 plus inches in newcastle, that is north dupont highway. you can't see the block top anymore. a steady wind swept snow pounded the first state this afternoon, reducing visibility and making this a miserable one outdoors. >> i want to take it easy on the highways and not go too fast and be cautious and careful.

>> it's even worse on the side roads, this three car accident on the philadelphia pike shut down the road for nearly an hour, three people were taken to christiana hospital for minor injuries police responded while another vehicle slammed into a retaining wall, the word from del/dot and the governor. >> we want drivers that do not have to be on the roads to give del/dot plows the time and space to work efficiently. >> the plows are focusing on the major arteries secondary roads will be plowed once the snow has passed and warmer weather in sight, people of the delaware valley are saying it's about time. >> i want the summer to come, real quick. it's too cold out here. >> it is too cold out here, a biting wind. >> i saw 50 degree temperatures coming next week and i tell you i can't wait. chad pradelli channel 6 "action

treacherous this guy ran off the ramp before the roads that bad at 10:00 this morning and they have not pulled him out yet. this is the scene along the pennsylvania turn ping, all lanes are shut down in the westbound direction from valley forge to downingtown, we have multiple jackknife tractor trailers on the turnpike they threw in the towel and said we are closing the whole thing westbound turnpike out of commission, 2020 to 30 is the way to get around it. but problems on the way this is the schuylkill expressway, eastbound side of the blue route people are spinning their wheels and this truck cannot gain traction and the ramp is blocked. it's a balancing act with the speeds, you can't go to fast you need some speed to make it up the ramp. now the road is snow covered and speed restrictions of 35 miles

per hour in effect but i would not go that fast. the rail lines chestnut and trenton and wilmington lines canceled. >> here at the big board photos you sent in using #6abcaction. along with a cool cat from cherry hill maxwell's owner becka tells us her cat is obsessed with winter and wants to go out when it snows jason entitled this spring training a little snow was not going to stop ryan from playing ball in german town, check out dakota and czara the trio spent the day catching snowflakes. and finally, another cutie pie fascinated by the snow, thomas captured his little girl gail, staring out her westville door
