seven-day forecast, matt pellman i have that story we'll set our sights on the weekend. >> reporter: yes, i completely agree. good morning everybody, we're talking slick roads, but first i want to give you an update on i-95. they have moved the cow into the parking lot. she is off i-95 and loaded into a trailer. the good news she is going to be fine, southbound lanes of i-95 are open, as well. i won't milk that too long, let's move along, i could have done so many more. this is a crash southbound lanes southwest philadelphia, there's the white sedan facing the wrong way at enterprise avenue off the girard point bridge. once you get to the secondary roads like south broad street. pattison avenue you see a decent amount of slush and snow coverage on the roads, secondary

streets are snow covered. you take a look on green lane in manayunk it's slushy in spots, it's wet. compared to the snow covered sidewalks you can see the improvement. you can see the mouth of dexter over there, how it compares to green lane. overnight cars were slipping and sliding along the stretch in manayunk. the snow started falling last night. it stopped by early this morning, that a loud for clearing and allowed for roads to recover before the morning rush, before that clearing it was certainly treacherous in spots and of course in manayunk, the hills don't help the situation. the temperatures are low, expect slick spots and take your time. you want to leave extra time this morning even just to clear off your car. there was enough snow to fall it's going to be on your windshield and covering your windows and your roof. don't create an unsafe situation driving with the snow on your

car. leave plenty of extra time for the clearing, slick spots, but a lot of main roads are okay, passable because of the timing of the snow. it did give crews time to work, however you will see spots that are treacherous to travel. live in manayunk, katherine scott channel 6 "action news." >> thank you, katherine. there was no escaping the wintry weather anywhere in the delaware valley. let's go live to trish hartman with a look at what peopler waking up to in bucks county, street road in warminster. trish good morning. >> reporter: good morning, we're here in warminster, the roads are slick this morning, i'll show you take a look, along street road down the intersection with 263. the roads are wet and slushy, portions of street road are snow covered this morning, we've seen a few plow trucks coming in getting gassed up this morning. overall you want to take your time i can tell you based on our

drive in, you want to leave extra time because there are slick spots in bucks county. we stopped by the penndot truck in norristown where trucks were loading up on salt. penndot said travel will be tricky because of the freezing temperatures we've had to endure leading up to the event. so far main roads are slushy or slick. slide roads will have more coverage, officials say take it slow when you drive around this morning. >> expect a coating, temperatures are cold,, we expect the snow to probably stick this time around won't be as slushy maybe the last time in philadelphia and delaware county. i would expect initial coverage, so hopefully that salt will work, some of the pretreating will take effect and minimize some of the impact of the

initial freezing s again we have people out and about this morning, portions of street road are snow covered and patches, bucks county is in its first code blue which mean temperatures are dangerously cold the past few days, officials are asking folks to take it slow, give yourself plenty of extra time as you drive around this morning. live in warminster, bucks county, trish hartman channel 6 "action news." here's a look at the snowy weather in wilmington. this is the view from the traffic cam route 13, not many cars in sight, roads are slushy. >> reporter: taking a look at what came down in burlington county, new jersey, the lights are on making it easy to see how wet the roads have become. snow coating on the sidewalks i.

untreated surfaces like sidewalks and side streets and the main roads have not been totally cleaned off. winds are calm, so it's not as cold and uncomfortable as yesterday. 23 in allentown, 25 in reading. 31 in wilmington, 25 in trenton. in all these areas and across the river in parts of immediate south jersey across the river in south jersey and wilmington. we have numbers below freezing. millville, 35 degrees. 40 in came -- cape may. down in south jersey you didn't get as much about a coating to an inch. i was able to put together early forecasts of snow in philadelphia, an inch 1/2, same story in chadds ford, delaware county. up in the lehigh valley airport, 8 inches of snow. graterford 1.8 inches.
