out, a as we look through the days ahead. next few days temperatures during the day, will be above freezing. we will get enough solar radiation to melt that snow during the day. the the problem, however, comes during the overnight hours, refreezing, more than likely will be an issue which will cause black ice in the morning and slow you down for the the commute, and morning rush. we will have more details, guys, with the full and exclusive accu weather forecast. now we will send it back over your way. >> thanks, melissa. heavy snow was behind a big problem here in quakertown. chopper six was over this building on north heller town avenue after the roof collapsed at about 8:00 o'clock this morning. nobody was injured and we're still waiting to hear about the full extent of the damage. moving on to the the devastating damage donna long the new jersey shore where residents are dealing with more than just snow clean up, they are struggling with major flooding. >> really bad. >> "action news" reporter jeff chirico live in wildwood with the story, jeff? >> reporter: hey, walter. we saw damage to homes. we saw some road still flooded

piled up against my house and my other side of the car and they plowed the street and put a big mound here i can throw it on top of that. >> city officials say they are focusing on primary and secondary road, first, so it could take a while to plow the the side streets. if you have a non-emergency snow issue you are asked to call 311. let's move on to the suburbs now and "action news" reporter christie lleto joining us live from norristown. christie, how are things shaping up there. >> reporter: walter, the sun helped a little bit the today but main street in norristown is snow packed and slippery, not the to mention can you believe that this is a a car that is buried underneath this. this is a mountain of snow. most of the cars here on main street are buried under a snow that we saw yesterday coupled with snowplows trying to keep the roads clear. >> layer by layer, and then do side by side. >> reporter: linda dug her car out under mounds of snow
