something else west of gulph mills, the road was closed briefly and right now we're told that the left lane is getting by there. right now, though, crews are actively treating roads, but certainly when incidents like this occur it leaves our crews in certain situations like this because we're, our guys are inhibited terms of getting to the roads, the highways are impact. it's creating a log jam in that sense. we are out there with100,000 poe 182 state trucks and 190 contractor trucks. out there, the bitterly cold temperatures with the snow, snow adheres to the road immediately and created tough

travel conditions this morning, but our guys are out there an we're doing our best to plow where necessary and salt. >> we can't say it enough, chris and i have have been talking all morning how easy it is to let their guard down because it is not a big amount of snow. people need to be extra careful and take their time and avoid the schuylkill expressway right? >> the schuylkill expressway right now i would use an i woult that. the tow trucks have to get in there and tow the cars out of there and get the roadway clear so our vehicles can net in there and -- can get in there and get the salt down and clear the roadways. you were giving good advice, motorists if they can delay their travel they should. use caution and reduce speeds

and watch following distance between themselves and the car in front of them. situations are not ideal. like i said it may not be snowing a lot, but the road conditions, the roads are slippery and we advisory motorists to use common sense and avoid distractions and buckle up. >> i know you're doing your absolute best, but it will be sometime before the schuylkill expressway is reopened and cleared. >> state police, our crews are coordinating with state police. they are getting the tow trucks in there to get the vehicles out of there and handle any kind of emergency situations that need to be handled by the emergency services, as soon as that is done we'll get in there and do our thing. there be a delay in the area of schuylkill expressway. >> this is not the only accident on the schuylkill expressway. we have two or three other incidents this morning, correct? >> yeah, we had gladwyn, i

mentioned, as well as one around conshohocken and gulph mills. there are three that i am ray aware of, but certainly anywhere -- anyone thinking about traveling the area of the schuylkill expressway think about using an alternate route. >> at least it's saturday, if this was the weekday rush we could be in trouble. >> i agree, totally, nydia. if this was a weekday rush hour, it would be much worse. because of the timing of the storm we expected less volume on the road. that allows the crews to clear the highways more effectively and efficiently. certainly with an accident like this and causing a backup it allows the snow to accumulate on the roadway and creates a delay for the crews to get in the area.

we want to help oet the situatin alleviated safely in the area so our crews can get in there. >> i know you put brine on the roads yesterday, so you were well prepared, but mother nature making it tough to battle this kind of of snow considering how cold the temperatures are. it penndot thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me, nydia. have a good day. the action cam was in wilmington, delaware with the light snow was falling. the snow did not have an impact on drivers in delaware county. traffic was light and the roads were clear along mcdade boulevard an fair view avenue in ridley township. along with the snow we're dealing with extremely frigid temperatures where many decided to stay inside on friday night where it is nice and warm, some ventured out in the brisk temperatures. trish hartman talked with some who braved the cold. center city, furry hoods and
