still snowing? our area but even as the the snow eases up in intensity it is still quite cold and quite slippery out there get the lateness your weather authority forecast coming up according to the radar split looks like the snow is just leaving atlantic city do you you want to check on it.

>> visibility isn't great. >> might be out of here in two hours don't you think. >> i they so. >> let look at the schuylkill expressway. these are sideways across the the schuylkill expressway here. philadelphia fire fighters trying to get in there look at the slush on that roadway. that is what we're dealing with right now, as we step out the front door. we will check rest of the cams and mass transit coming up next. 7:01. it is tuesday, february 17th, 2015, welcome to good day philadelphia we have a snow day to day. >> but it is a morning only event. we will see sunshine by end of the day but still cold. still some challenges cleaning up the snow by the rest of the day. do you want to hear more. >> yes. >> i really don't want to but we are going to do anyway. >> you did a good job in looking interested in what i had to say. >> sure. >> we have dropped berks county from our watches and warnings list.

winter weather at vicary lifted where the snow is virtually over but it is still in effect to 10:00 a an in other places we are seeing and still under winter storm warning until 10:00a in in philadelphia, all of south jersey, delco, and all of delaware because of the accumulations, that we have expect as a result of this storm. it is a two out of ten in your weather authority weather by the numbers. it is still snowing in quite a few place these morning but it is easing up in quite a few others. there is buddy with your temperatures in the teens, single digit wind chills, still snowy and slippery to start. it looks like we will wind up in the three to 6-inch range in the metro area six to will in the south of us o places more than that maybe around cape may and delaware beaches. they will get the in most of this storm because it is

further south. then most of the storms have been. 15 degrees. it feels like five outside. here is your fox cast with a high of 28 degrees. eventually the the snow end. we will see some sunshine but it remains slippery because we will not get above freeze to go day. not a lot of melting. then it is cold tonight with a low of 13. if you think this is cold there is colder air in the seven day forecast. that is just ahead. pop kelly what a tuesday. >> here's an example of what we are dealing w we have an accident here. this fellow is sideways across the ramp from the schuylkill expressway, to head into the the 26th street tunnel, which would give you access to the platt bridge. even the hook and latter trying to get in here and fire fighters are stuck trying to get to this accident scene. you can see the difference in the road surface, coming out of south philadelphia heading in to center city. lot at slush covered snow

cover side of 26th street heading toward the tunnel there lets go to northeast philadelphia slow go in i-95 in both directions. it looks like now that we have started to get volume, the tires starting to turn that salt into the a asphalt and we are seeing some pavement and some wet roadways but any chance of any plow trains coming through new you forget the bit, because new they will be stuck in a morning rush hour jam. here's a live look at ben franklin bridge, speed restriction as cross the bridges coming in towards philadelphia that was one of our older cameras there. lets go out to the septa system to check status of have the buses. the just go to septa.org. i know 35 is suspended. there are 30 buses on the detour. paratransit system running with a one hour delay. new jersey transit is cross honoring system wide this morning. amtrak trying to run a modified schedule from washington, all the way up to boston. and then just pack your patients heading to the airport. we have had some cancellations and delays, throughout the morning. nothing major, so at least

these flights are arriving and departing and as sue mentioned as this moves out of here things could get better as the day goes on at the airport. but slow go on 202 working your way through chester county. the most of the road are snow covered or partially snow covered so you can delay your trip that would be the best suggestion i could give you this morning. the most. >> we will check on different reporters in different areas. >> look at that. >> this is "good day philadelphia". >> look at all of our reporters. >> these are our reporters. >> there is our garden nome, jennifer joyce in delaware. >> we have jen fred in the roving car. >> the jenny mobile. >> and then we have steve keeley. >> he is in south jersey. >> let check with steve. >> hi steve. >> we have been on the air since 3:00 and i'm in south jersey and i have a big question to ask and i wish i was back in philadelphia what changed that had philadelphia schools change from a two hour

late opening to complete thely closed, because i have have been listening to sue serio, 50 times do the weather and her forecast has been right on all the time. the these people need to pick a lane because peoples lives are all out of whack now. i was saying on the air, that right across the river in south jersey, which is a two minute drive over any bridges the schools were closing, and i was wondering why the difference. you heard me at 6:00 between south jersey schools, the the forecast isn't much different on each side of the delaware river. would i love to know the answer all they did was put out a press release saying we will be opened two hours late. parochial schools follow. less than two hearst later at 6:32 we're closed. in reese on for change in their press release. on second thought we will close just like the folks in south jersey cared about the kid safety and i don't know fit is mopish you or whatever it is, that is a tough question they should be answering. parent are angry because they

got kids ready, probably many kid, driven today care, for parents who have to work early like we do, they leave the kids there and kid get pick up. >> i would think some people were already on their way to the day care and the schools and stuff like that. >> i started a off saying i think school district and catholics schools made the right decision. if you do the the two her delay it will be all gone by like ten. >> and everybody could have made to it school okay. they reversed themselves. everything is closed if you are just joining us, all philadelphia and catholic schools, they are all closed. >> reporter: maybe somebody can call in and talk to you. we are right across from the national guard on delsea drive and you can see those things that were in battle. i'm sure parents at least want to do battle with whoever second guessed themselves there within an hour and 55 minutes which is ridiculous.

you can see even though the snow has stopped here in south jersey, far reaches of south jersey, it is rough driving and plows have done kelce drive over and over again. it is slushy when you switch lanes, pass, make a left turn or right turn in the driveway. you can see this is a busy diner where we are. it the is complete liz snow covered here in the entrance way. chris, go to the left on your ground here and show where driveway meets the road. rough go out there. didn't mean to bring all of the fun festivities that we normally have to a open but i'm feeling so bad for those houses of parents out there, whose lives have been abruptly changed, quite a bit twice now, in the same morning and they still to have deal with their own lives getting to work and figuring out what they will do today. >> i wonder how many people are involved in making that decision. they got suede by somebody, some thing good to know the the process. >> lets call in the school district doctor, hite is a good friend of the show and

maybe he can explain how the process works. 7:08. >> we will go out to delaware and get to jenny joyce. >> hi, jenny. >> reporter: i heard steve talking about schools in new jersey decided to close all together. camden city did. i got a message on my facebook page that cherry hill is on a two hour delay. >> do we think road will be clear. we have been watching naamans road being plowed over and over and over again about ten minutes ago we saw a plow train coming on through. the as you can see while there is still, some left over snow, on the ground, it is looking better than even 45 minutes ago when it was really exacted. however, i have been seeing reports on social media sites of people getting into accidents because there are still some slick spots underneath the the snow surface. it is hard to say just how dicey it is.

a lot of the vehicles we are watching are being cautious and they are taking it slowly because even along the side here it is absolutely slushy. we are packing up. we will leave this area we have a 8:40 press conference with the governor of delaware, governor jack markell. we will get more answer from his him as far as the the state of delaware is concerned in the next hour and a half or so. >> yes, he is dealing with the whole state. down in the southern part of the delaware it is worse than the north. >> you have got that right. you mentioned, somebody was irritated with me. >> someone on twitter, she just val willry bauer. she said are you grumpy. you seem irritated with mike. >> are you. >> it is so funny, turned to mike and said mike, did i do something. >> you seem fine to me. >> we like to play around on snow days. >> we joke a little bit. >> just leave me alone. >> niagara falls, have you

ever been. >> i have not been. >> we will go. it is amazing. >> but if we go we won't see it like it is right now it is kind of half frozen. >> look at that. >> it is still beautiful this happens every year. but it has been cold. >> do you want to necessity how cold it has to be to partly freeze. >> would i think below zero. >> 13 degrees below zero with wind chills between the minus 14, and minus 25. >> look the at how powerful that is. >> those people are brave for going out there in minus 25 wind chill. >> would i do it just to see that. that is something. lets check with the city of boston. they have had close to 90 inches of snow this season. the the mass chew you sets bay transit authority is offering locals up to $30 an hour to dig out buried rails and help uncovered other pieces of equipment. these are every kay citizens. come down to make money and keep the city moving. with so much more snow on the

ground and thinks ale hands up on deck in boston. >> to help out your city, it brings everybody together. >> it is a community. >> it is. >> grown ups, a lot of groans up on twitter and facebook this morning are saying they have had it, already with the snow. >> when it comes to kid and dogs, well, it is never no. >> no. >> so, we will show how her dogs are coping with all of the snow in cambridge, massachusetts. >> yes, that is a breed of dog. >> they only stand a foot off the job. >> they had to hop just to make their way through a yard. >> that is remarkable video. >> that is fantastic. >> they look like little bunny rabbits. >> wow. >> look at the the drifting there, sue. >> when we lived in buffalo we had a white german shepherd. he would go out in the snow and you could not see him they

love it. >> fox furs day comes early here on good day philadelphia we till have snow falling in the area, but there are many places where it is starting to wind down. still snowing a along the the i-95 corridor but it is still snowing a little more likely. let's zoom in, a couple of different place these morning. eastern chester county, delco, philadelphia, we're still seeing snow? new castle will county as well. we will go to the south ape lewis. then we will go up firth north. we will see here in the city, it is light but the snow is still falling. we will get a chance to maybe get out there and clean some have of it up. just remember it is cold, single digits wind chills, take frequent breaks if you shovel some of that snow, trenton is still snowing there as he will. low pressure system is moving from the west to the east and that is how the snow will exit from the west to the east over

the the next couple of hours. we will see it pretty much gonna cord to go this computer model by about 9:00, or 10:00 o'clock this morning. we will see sunshine moving in from west to east as well as the the clouds clear in the wake of that storm. so how much snow? well, anywhere from three to 6 inches in philadelphia, the east and west of us.h to the six to 8 inches down to the the south. one to 3 inches to the north of us. then we will look ahead to tomorrow, in the evening hours, and we will see more snow coming through but this is a different kind of a storm this is another one of those clipper systems with just a few snow bursts here and there. maybe a few snow showers, and then not as much accumulation if any. we have very cold temperatures. here's a summary of what to expect. it is a morning snow event only. slippery roads are still out there. southern storm with the highest snowfall totals in delaware ape southern new

jersey. by 10:00a m it is all out of here. temperatures in the 20's all day long. so don't expect a big warm up even they we will. the weather service, from the winter weather advisory. we will see this happening west to east as they lift advisories as the snow end. 7 miles an hour wind. not a lot of blowing and drifting with this snow. in case you were wondering what was the high temperature yesterday? we started off with those wind chills well below zero. we ended up with 17 degrees, yesterday and guess what, more of that arctic air is arriving on thursday and friday. we will not get out of the teens either day. moderates a little bit over the weekend but we could be setting some record low temperatures on friday morning. it will be deja vu for monday, bob kelly, all over again. >> good morning, sue, good morning, everybody where they have the the worst case of the snow this morning. here's a live look at route 13

rolling through delaware again, typically what would be a two lane roadway down to just one. it looks like as sue show us so we are not just dealing with the clean up operation. here's a live look at south jersey. this is on route 55 in south jersey. again, you may be have one lane passable but we're dealing with that slush. until we can get more volume out there, that allowed that salt to do its job. here's a live look at neighborhood. northeast philadelphia, torresdale and robbins in the great northeast. make sure you get all that snow off the car before you pull out of the driveway and make sure that the snow stays on the sidewalk and not getting dumped into the street. here's a live look at colt man avenue and holy family university. as you roll south down in the construction zone just look out. that plowed snow will move to the left and the right, and actually there is no shoulder in the construction zone, so here's a live look at the the schuylkill expressway. things are getting a little

bit better, again, with the snow starting to tail off and we're get something volume out there. that salties allowed to do the job. but speedometer still in the lower teens and in the 20's here along i-95, the the the the schuylkill. 476, slower than normal, septa is trying to run on a week kay schedule. they have about 30 bus routes on a detour. the the 35 is suspended. is there a one hour delay for anyone using paratransit. new jersey transit, they are cross honoring here, system wide, and, am being is running a modified schedule washington to boston. i just check with the airport again no major dilatation or cancellations. there are some scattered but would i play it safe and check with the airline before you head down to the airport. >> folks over at ccp say we have to go to school. >> now someone is asking us about philly city and government offices. as far as we know they are open right now. >> school administrators still

(mom) when our little girl was born,

we got a subaru. it's where she said her first word. (little girl) no! saw her first day of school. (little girl) bye bye! made a best friend forever. the back seat of my subaru is where she grew up. what? (announcer) the 2015 subaru forester

you are so dramatic. >> no, this is what is great about our studio, alex. >> yes. >> it is like a snow globe, when we have a snow day, only tv station that has this. >> we were trying to discuss what type of snow. are you going to make your first snow man. everybody is telling me it is

not the right snow for snow man. >> thinks more of a dry fluffy snow, good for skiing but not for your snowball fighting and snow man making. >> maybe next time. >> all right. you can never make the the right decision when it comes to snow days. fernando, welcome to "good day philadelphia" from the philadelphia a school district. always great to talk to you. >> thank you for the the opportunity. >> so take us through the the process how do you see side if you have the two hour delay which was original idea and go to, well, lets cancel classes a all together. how many people make that decision. >> well, is there a team of administrators and school district of philadelphia and team of professionals at the city level that talk and take a look at forecast is, and couple days before and then the day early in the morning between three and 4:00 they make a decision on how the street will be or how we think the conditions will be on sidewalks and street. >> so is there a certain criteria you are looking for

specifically when it comes to closing the schools. >> well, we basically look at can we have streets cleared for the buses, and as you all know the conditions the in the city of philadelphia, with our streets, they are very small and not very easy to clear and also can we have sidewalks and public transportation, many of our students take public transportation. so it is all about are we ready to clear streets and sidewalks and can be public transportation be running at time. >> the at first you felt like it would be ready, hence, two hour delay but then it is not going to be all cleared out, so then lets close. >> so there was a shift, in my understanding is that the storm, they put out a winter storm warning right after we made a two hour delay a announcement and they shifted the snow precipitation to stop later on in the morning. we first thought it would stop snowing by 5:00 in the morning. as you can all see out in the

window we are still having some precipitation. >> i never heard that. i never any of our forecast say it would stop at 5:00 in the morning, it was going to stop at 9:00 or 10:00. >> who are you guys listening to the the national weather service. >> that is correct we use the national weather service for our forecast. >> you guys have anyone, physically driving around looking at the roadways or do you just rely on waiting on reports from different entities. >> well, the the city has folks, driving around and checking the conditions of the streets and making a determination, and then they give us the best assessment that they have. >> we just had some viewers calling in saying they were upset, they were already on their way today care and on their way to the schools and then we're closing. >> it is not an easy job to judge mother nature and also not an easy job to information cast what the conditions will be on the streets. sometimes you have to mack a call early in the morning and

we then of have to reverse ourselves, we will, for the safety of the students and the safety of our children we will reverse our call. >> that is true, it is all about safety. >> i guess over there the at school district you need to start listening to the forecast at fox 29 and national weather service, do you prom toys do that, fernando. >> i will keep an eye on the the forecast. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> as we go to break lets look at another pick. >> yes, this is from kristin murphy, just settling in for their snow day, how cute. they will after lot of fun and bond ing time today. send in pictures using fox 29 snow.

let's do quick weather an traffic here. >> let's do it bus stop buddy for kid that don't have to go to school he is showing you how to dress. temperatures in the teens today. we have snow falling. we are not quite finished with it yet. because of the difficulty traveling around and cold temperatures we are giving you two out of the ten. you still see snowing in philadelphia, and along the i-95 corridor. some places, it has slowed down or stopped, but our watches and warnings continue, until 10:00 a.m. we are seeing probably in most

of the accumulation is already happened, but we will see a little bit more and we should be right within the range as we were predicting three to six in the metro a area, more to the south, less to the north. 15 degrees right now. high later on of only 28 degrees, even after the sun comes out. we will see slippery conditions today and tonight with that overnight le of 13. that is your fox cast for tuesday from the weather authority. any improvement, bob kelly on the roads. >> just a little bit. live look at i-95 southbound, excuse me, this is northbound right here near broad street. an accident worked on at the broad street exit. if you look at the travel lanes, there is at least one plow train that comes through here at some point i would think to move some of that snow off but since all morning long we have been looking for the plows. south jersey a little bit of the jammo here north on the freeway stack up from the atlantic city expressway all the way in toward that walt whitman bridge. just watching it on the on and off ramps.

some teams it will be slippery. speed limit down to 25 on the area bridges this morning. and then, picture sent in from one of our patco riders said, you know, they have not plowed the parking lot over at the, this is the ashland station of the patco high speed line. so be careful even if you are driving and get to the train station there could be slippery spots until the plow or the shovel folks get there to shovel out, the station. an accident north on the new jersey turnpike at exit number six, and speedometer readings in the lower 20's here as the the speeds are income down across the board and again, no delays, no in major accidents, on any of our major roadways at the moment, septa says they are running on a week day schedule. check that system status for exact bus detour. paris being delayed. mike and alex, back to you. lets check out where they are getting the the most snow, it is starting to move out as

a matter of fact. steve keeley, cape may county, steve keeley. >> mike, imitate the philadelphia school district decision maker and change in the blue sweater you were going to wear today on the show in the next show. >> switch back and forth. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> most snow we have gotten is where we started my day in moorestown with 5 inches. we are getting less snow then we feared we were going to get here in extreme south jersey as it is called in the weather business. just about three and a half, maybe 4 inches match here in millville in the far reaches of cumberland county but enough for plow guys to make some money by doing everybody's parking lot in advance auto parts new which looks like they will be opened for business, to show you how strange. we went by rowan university. we started over at rutgers. rutgers is opened today n delay. opened as urn. that is a commuter school by the way right across ben

franklin bridge. delayed start rowan just announced 12:30 along with stockton 12:30, burlington community college in mount laurel closed and close to moorestown, 5 inches of snow, 2:00 p.m. they will start class at two. then completely shut down, even though rowan is a 12:30 opening here in gloucester county, gloucester community colleges shut down for the day, so is camden community college. how strange is that. two community colleges completely closed. one opening up at 2:00 p.m. two state colleges rowan and stockton opening lunchtime. the rutgers university is completely opened. that gives you varying ideas of school district this guy just shoveled his walk. he did a good job there. this guy is not shoveling their walk and smartly this woman behind us is walking on the sidewalk. we passed so many people don't want to walk through the snow on unshoveled sidewalks. they are walking in the street which is very dangerous because they just don't want to walk through the snow. i walk through the snow and get there alive rather than

walk in the street and not have any snow on any boots and shoes. just a recommendation. >> i hear you. again you are in millville. >> reporter: millville, or scott williams called it millville. >> is that gloucester county. >> reporter: this is cumberland county. we went through camden, burlington, gloucester and now cumberland county. we are hoping to make our way to cape may county eventually. >> okay, making his round. >> more people attacked me on twitter, he is not the in cape may county. cape may, national weather service says they have 7 inches on the ground there. >> reporter: we will try to show thaw. that is our plan. >> looking forward to seeing it. >> thanks, steve. we have one more picture to show you, with that hash tag, fox 29 snow, look at this. >> that is the the most pathetic snow man i have ever seen. >> this is why people are saying no, it is not right kind of snow to build a a snow man. >> no it is not. >> yikes.

she has been watching. we have been critical of snowplow situation, south jersey, philadelphia, delaware, major road. well, we are here to to show you that here in the the township as they call tonight washington township the snow plows are looking like they are finally make something headway. this is 47 south, delsea drive for people who live in the township and literally 20 minutes ago this was completely covered with snow. so as i said, we started to see some snowplows. i would say just before 7:00. so by 7:41 approximately where we are you can see road are getting more cleared. that doesn't mean they are not slippery. i want to you take a look at this van on the right-hand side of the road. remember we talk about this earlier this morning. it was icy, slushy underneath the this snow do you see this guy, girl driver having a little difficulty and right behind a makeshift plow. it looks like what do we call

that a bobcat. so what we are seeing on these major roads is that the plows are now addressing them. so as we take a right, right here on bethel mill road you can see thinks the problem, if you are waking up this morning, and you have to get from your house to a major, medium sized artery you will have a terrific amount of difficulty. look at that, if you don't have someone to come plow, shovel you have to do that as well. so this is washington township, and again, mike and alex, we have to say hi, marley she watches all the time and we love marley. >> kisses. >> thanks, marley. >> thanks, jen. >> so much love here. >> that is for sure. >> this is still a manageable storm though, it is slippery but it is manageable. >> we will get through with it. >> look at our snow globe isn't that nice it is nice. >> look at this, patty girl.

the the snow. hopefully that will be lifted in another half an hour. so we are encouraging everyone to check their airline or call 800-p46789l gator look on our web site phl.org. >> lets drop that banner for a second. it looks like you have the plow train on the tarmac right now. great job, um. >> we have been working on the runways throughout the evening and on the taxiways the most important parts, so the aircraft can get out to the runway. >> all right. >> we have to send a camera out there early this morning. we are looking at a you mr. to clear out the road in front of the airport. >> we knew there were cancellations last night the but however, none this morning. >> last night about hundred flights were canceled. that was about a quarter of the morning schedule. the and then what we have found this morning is that many regional flights are

i thought i did permanent damage to my fingers because i walk in without gloves. >> it feels like they are pins poking you. >> it wouldn't go away. i almost called doctor mike, at about 9:00 o'clock at night. i'm not kidding. then why take advice from a man willing to stan out in the cold with just a shirt on. >> where is your coat, doctor mike good a picture is worth a thousand words. what i'm trying to demonstrate to you, out there is that today, is like a balmy 16 degrees. but, you can get something called frost nip, and that is what you had, michael. if you look at my hand, you can see it is getting very, very pale. to speed up the the process i want to show you what happened. i will bring the temperature

down. i will put my hand down here, and leave it down there for a little bit and what you can start to see is that the bloodies in the fledge to my fingers. it it is really cold. if the temperature is down around 1:00-degree or so when it will happen later in the week you can be out here and get frostbite in about ten minutes depending on the amount of, wind coming through, the wind chill. ten minutes you can get into big trouble. i want to show this picture because frost nip is the first kind of stage of frostbite. everybody talks about frostbite. frost nip is where you start to get lack of blood flow and freezing of that superficial skin. it can proceed to superficial frostbite, and even severe frostbite where you need to get medical attention because ice crystals actually form inside and under the the

tissues and under the skin and that requires a immediate attention. you want to rewarm that area so what you had was frost nip. what you should do is go and warm your hand up, and then you'll experience a fair amount of pain which i'm going to do in about five or six minutes when i go back in good how should do i it. i thought about putting it under warm water. >> you put it under luke warm water. you don't put it under hot scolding water. a a lot of times i can barely feel my fingers now and i can get burn if i do that. the other trick that people do, come on, come on over here. this is a young woman who has sensed she has all on a coat, she is wearing a coat. now what she do is put your hand under and close to the body if you don't have a access to hot water. if you are somewhere and your car broke down and you don't have gloves do something like this so you get that body temperature up. now, look at this.

>> put it underneath our arm pet. >> and then smell your fingers. >> yes. >> that is the key when it goes down to one or 2 degrees you have to be extremely careful. amputations have occurred. that is bottom line. you can see my fingers there, there is lack of blueblood flow. this almost like people that have a phenomenon where there is in blood getting to those fingers. i'm going to experience frost nip. >> okay. put your arms underneath your armpits then. >> okay, there you go. >> okay. >> and, put her hand in her pocket. >> that is a good look for you. >> good lord. >> i wouldn't doubt that whole thing as upon you to. >> yes. >> it is quite warm.

>> i thought i with wake up, and, have my, black fingertips. >> it was several hours later. >> it was 12 hearst it was still hurting with my frost nip. straight up 8:00 o'clock. >> it is february the the 17th; 2015. >> yes. this is "good day philadelphia". >> well, the snow is still falling here in wilmington, delaware where there is already about four or 5 inches here, how are things with you, q. >> well, they are very cold. i was going to take mize coat off and i wanted to get frost nip like doctor mike. i will talk to commuters coming up next to see how they are braving the the temperatures. jen fred, what is going on. >> hi q, we are in mulika. we have got a text from another kindergartener landry fredrick wanted a hello this

morning. hi, baby. >> yes. >> it is a snow day for you. >> it is still, slick and mulika, and most of the delaware valley. looking at the snow, it is still coming around. >> it is a decent snowfall. >> latest measurement at philadelphia international airport 3.7 inches. >> okay. >> we could get a little bit the more because it hasn't completely stopped yet but it slowed down in intensity. >> yesterday's forecast by sue serio predict three to 5 inches at philly international. >> yes. >> coming up on four. >> darn you good are. >> we're in the range. >> there we go. >> the plow trains here at the airport. isn't that cool. >> we need one of those plow trucks, penndot could use one of those plow trucks. we could have used that. >> i haven't seen these types of plows. >> so is there a plow in the front and your spinner, your buffer in the back. >> it is like a double plow. >> pretty cool.

>> that would be good to take down the schuylkill expressway. >> party in the front, business in the back. >> like my mullet. >> yes. >> true. >> lets look at radar because the the the snow isn't quite finish yet. it is still getting there but it is still here. it is decrease nothing intensity in some places but up in ocean county, where we're seeing a little bit of decent snowfall, and here in philadelphia, light snow, continues, to fall. so it is a snow i start to the dau with bus stop buddy, lieutenant of kid are doing that five day weekend off school but if you are going out to play in the snow or shovel the snow take frequent breaks because even though our temperatures are in the teens, the wind chills are in the single digits and we have still in effect until 10:00 o'clock this morning, winter storm warning for philadelphia and every place south and east of us, and a winter weather advisory to the north of us. we will upped to three to 6 inches today in philadelphia

we're still in the range there. to the south of us, six to 8 inches, one to three to the north of us and most of the snowfall totals we're looking at are within those ranges. we will show you you those in a few minutes. 16 degrees feels like six and we will get to 28 degrees, the the snow end. clouds linger for a while and then sunshine later in the day and northerly breezes but the wind is not an issue today like it was, yesterday and will be, by thursday again. that is what is going on for your tuesday, fox cast, lets get to bob kelly and see how are the roads are hopefully improving. >> good morning everybody. 8:03. jackknife tractor trailer southbound on the new jersey turnpike at exit number six, that is the turnpike connection interchange, there is also a crash on that northbound side, all of septa's regional rails are running with 20 minute delays this morning and just watch for some slippery spots in the parking lot and also, on the the platforms, as we just heard from the airport, a ground stop in effect until

because of good weather in the summer when you want to head down to the shore early. but on a day like this, if you are entitled to vacation which means you get paid for a day you take off, if you take off today work or not it is because you cannot show up at work or are kids schools are closed or for whatever the wet are reason is, your boss can force to you take this as a vacation day. >> wow. >> now some people are saying, well if i hear these other office are are closed and this is not the case in philadelphia but city and government offices are closed then do we have some leeway there. >> that is another issue. again, it gets back to how you are paid. if you are paid by a private employer, if you are not a government worker and there is no policy on it, the the law says that the government can actually say have been stay home, everybody stay off the the roads, right. state of emergency. then what happens. >> let's say i want to come in but you have closed.

>> then what happens. >> do you get paid good too bad for you. >> and so what we talk about earlier was if you have vacation day, and your boss can make you use a vacation day. you will get paid but one fewer vacation day. but if you are a non-exempt worker, hourly worker and you you don't get paid vacation and you want to come to work for example but you can't or you don't really want to come to work but you can, you don't get paid for the the hours you don't work. >> someone tweeted me and said delaware has a non-official personal day. >> interestingly delaware relatively recently passed a law that says if there is a state of emergency, if they come on and say everybody except for non-essential personnel, stay off of the roads, your boss cannot fire you for not coming into work. but the the law says now in delaware you don't have to be paid if you don't work. that is same law they have in new jersey and pennsylvania. >> i want your take on this. how about philadelphia passed that paid leave law, how many

days away from starting. >> that is a good question but that is a sick day law. that is sick day. so for every 40 hours you work you accrue an hour up to a certain number of days off. but that is first of all only for a sick day. you can say, a cold, and i surprisingly have a cold, that is, that is between you and your boss, to deciding whether or not that is really sick. >> about an hour ago hillary clinton says she agrees with that philadelphia new law. >> really. >> yeah. >> popular support. >> she's not officially running for mayor of philadelphia. >> or president of the united states. >> good to see you. >> good to see you. >> i know you watch the show, did you see alex performing as bruno mars. >> i did. >> bm as we like to say or i have heard you use. >> mike's name. >> that is our take on uptown punk which is done by a name by the mark ronson, who made the original version. >> something happened with this last night, we will tell
