where we find wendy saltzman what is the condition there? >> reporter: well you can see the snow is still coming down on us, we are blasted here until about 10:00 this morning, it looks beautiful in some spots but on the streets, well not so much, we see cars slipping and sliding and some of them getting stuck here in king of prussia we have some of the highest totals about 8 to 10 inches in the area we are at this is a great way to end the season a lot of people say they hope this is the last time they see snow. trying to keep the roads of king of prussia clear. >> we do snow removals, we are never sick of it it's good for us. >> neighborhoods looked abandoned as people stayed inside even valley forge park was closed. >> i came out to experience the deserted

keeps falling, we saw a line of a dozen snowplows coming through here on 70 and look how much the snow is piling up on the ground outside of this wawa gas station and people here are shoveling all day long and residents have been too. >> well this is hard for me right now but you know side to side. >> you are doing a good job you lived in missouri for a while is that why you are so good at this? >> yes. >> you are used to snow days, would you rather be at school or doing this? >> this. >> are you shoveling like your brother? >> no. >> that is his job? >> yes. >> how did you get so lucky? >> i don't know. >> what is your favorite snow activity? >> jump in it and make snow angels. >> i hate the snow and need to go away. >> that is mom. >> the kids like it?

but if you look at the roads now you know it will take extra time for people to get home this evening. plowing is underway but many city streets are slick and slushy. some bus routes were canceled and others detoured making commuters change travel plans david mcknight is taking the bus instead of the train. >> the 26 and, making it home to fire up the snow blower. >> other commuter his to be patient as city bus drivers navigate slippery roads safely. >> he was driving extra slow and he slid a couple of times but we got here safe that is a good thing. traffic is crazy and everything is slow, you want people to drive slow, avoid the nonsense on the road you know what i mean. >> people are taking the last

storm of the season is stride but also looking forward to the spring. >> i am thoroughly ready for the spring, for gardening and warm weather and all of that. >> me too. >> as we said plowing is underway, to clear the streets, the city has deployed 350 pieces of equipment to clear the roads as you can see the snow is still falling slightly so it will take time to clear the roads reporting live from olney transportation center, ali gorman channel 6 "action news." >> time for a check of the "action news" traffic report and get ready. >> matt pellman it's been quite a day. volume is not what it normally would be on a thursday? >> we have huge problems for those that try to head out. pick your poison none of the roads look good but some are worse than others 422 westbound side at 429 the phoenixville

collegeville interchange they are still trying to get the victims taken away and get the crash cleared out. instead of 422 stick with ridge pike or 724 expect problems on them as well. in general stick with the highways, but even the highways don't look great. this is the schuylkill expressway westbound side to the turnpike, a disabled smaller bus and the turnpike itself is closed and we see delays in this area any way and westbound traffic can't get by between valley forge and downingtown. we have a number of jackknifed tractor trailers on the stretch 202 and the 30 bypass gets you around it. these are the ramps collecting the schuylkill with the blue route, we have a number of problems with spinning vehicles and the airport line running

still falling and it's going to be a long night for the plow drivers and anyone else on the roads i'm nora muchanic channel 6 "action news." >> thank you nora. things were especially tough for folks flying in and out of philadelphia international airport, this is a live look at the tarmac officials estimate delays of 2.5 hours 75 of all flights were canceled earlier today because of the snow. and travellers got to the airport earlier in the morning hoping to get out and most of them rebooked their flights. >> meanwhile a live picture from the sky 6 hd cameras, north and southbound at penn's landing not a lot of traffic out there rush hour nothing compared to last night or tomorrow. volume has been on the lower side that is a good thing many folks deciding to stay home and 95 looking pretty good, especially because there is not a lot of cars out there now.

>> lets get more of the road conditions with matt pellman. >> that is a good thing rick and monica so many people going out are having substantial problems and this is why i always say if you have to head out in weather like this, have a blanket in the car and extra layers and a snack too. these poor people on the side of the schuylkill are sitting here going on an hour because the westbound lanes of pennsylvania turnpike are closes from valley forge to downingtown. i watched them put a caution tape up to the toll lanes there because of multiple jackknifed tractor trailers. this is 422 westbound by the phoenixville phoenixville-collegeville exit. we can actually see part of the westbound lanes. seeing blacktop here at painters crossing in chadds ford, and this is 202 at baltimore pike if you are headed down to route 1 watch out there is an accident

up ahead. crews worked hard this afternoon but it's too much snow to keep up with. we still have snow in belmar, camden county and the northeast corridor city not running from trenton to princeton and the newark and chestnut hill lines are halted. >> thank you matt. >> well the "action news" morning team will be on at 4:30 a.m. with the latest for you on road conditions and the potential for record breaking cold join matt, tam david and karen for all you need to know. >> all right we'll take a break and more news when we come right back.
