♪ >> from the fox 29 studios, this is "good day philadelphia" weekend. "good day philadelphia". good day wilmington. isn't it gorgeous start with bright sunshine that we have. thank you for joining us for another hour of good day. let's tea take look what it looked like when the storm rolled on in. let's go back to friday. chill, chill, chill, boom! then starts to hit. that's from friday afternoon to very early this morning. you can even see it coming waves and what have you. just like by the way sue serio predict the. >> it is out of here. thank you very much for joining us. there's the radar right there. boom, out of here, sue. >> yeah, way to get brownie points, bill. >> you like that. >> that's right. >> flattery will get you everywhere. yeah. it's outta here and the sun is up and weekend wendy is here. she's got her little sled. she's ready for some fun. but also she's going to help out with the shoveling of snow

because there's 2 feet of snow for lot of people to get through today. but just take it easy. don't do it all at once. just pace yourself. cold wind by 10:00 o'clock and it's only going to be 24 degrees but bright sunshine. 31 will be our high today and happily not as windy, wendy as yesterday. she's so cute. we've got the end of the storm to show you on the six-hour loop of ultimate doppler radar. now that that's out of here, before this storm our seasonal snowfall total for this whole 2015-2016 season was and a half an inch of snow and now we got season's worth with one storm 22.4-inches the official total at philly international and that puts us at 12, three, four number four of the top snowstorms that we've ever had in the city. so the top, of course the still the blizzard of '96. now, here's the thing. bright sunshine outside but very cold out there. single digit wind chills in wilmington. reading, millville, atlantic city, it feels like 10 in

philadelphia. so, again, it's deceiving sunshine out there. as you walk out the door and i guess that is the best advice. stay warm and pace yours self today. >> pace yourself, slow down, let somebody else do it. good news there. the wind is there. it's gusting and the direction is key because we not only look at the wind speed but that direction, one wind gust in wildwood, 18 miles an hour. look at that direction northwe northwest. it was northeast all day yesterday. that led to coastal flooding we still have the problem there with the coastal flood warnings in effect high tide happening now along the coast a little bit later in the back bays. that's where you're seeing record flooding yesterday. and flood advisory for new castle county and salem county. 11:00 o'clock to 12:30 you can see minor flooding, but record flooding yesterday because that wind changed direction it allowed some of that water to drain, drop down blow flood stage this morning. but we're going right back up. we will see major flooding. but maybe not quite as high as

yesterday. maybe not seeing that record flooding the past record was sandy we set new records yesterday and this was from stone harbor. right now the temperatures are into the 20s but it feels a lot colder and we're talking about temperatures actually trying to get back above the freezing mark. we'll show when you in the seven day forecast when we come back a little bit later. >> that sound good, thanks so much, dave. >> karen, every time he says this had more of an impact or higher flooding than sandy just puts into context what significant storm we were dealing with. >> absolute. we hear from governor christie at 10:00 a.m. this morning. so we had a lot of tweets from you, ryan wrote where is jenn and why is she not sitting shotgun in a car driving around the suburbs? no days off. jenn respond to do that one and she's here today. hi, jenn. >> good morning, you guys. we told you the story. the heartbreaking story of this church behind me. we're in downingtown and you'll see later this hour that the snow literally caved in the roof but the on the thing we want to talk to you look at the roads

this right here is devon avenue. we're at the intersection of route 113 and devon and what we want you to know as you go over here, you can see that primarily on the roads right now it's massive trucks, massive snowplows. they are making it easy to get around. so if you do have to get around in the downingtown area, chester county, you can definitely make it but one of the things we want to share with you are 3 feet of snow or however much everyone has, 30-inches, 12-inches, it creates snowplows -- snow piles rather that look like this. so that's one of the things. i can later today as the sun begins to come out, if you can bundle up the kids, they are going to have plenty and plenty of snow to play with but again just to give you little bit of perspective this right here is a snowplow. a pickup truck and look the piles of snow are way higher than that. the one other thing i want to caution you about that underneath this it's awful cold. some of the roads and some of the parking lots you'll be walking around very very icy.

so it's time to start getting out of the house but as i said and as sue serio said, you'll have to layer it up, ab little bit careful and guys as i toss it back, karen, i was with two of my friends yesterday. >> yes. >> landry jane and they're two of my favorite first graders and they wanted a shout out. >> okay. >> in the car sometimes we do the shout out. again, hello scharr fifty five see, hello land dre jane i hope you're having fun with your hot cocoa. >> absolutely i love you had your mom jammies home. i brushed right home and put on my mom jammies right after that one. she sent out the picture keeping it real. >> how do you know i don't still have them on. (laughter). >> love the optimism. jenn fred always finds a way to tell a positive story. we go from jenn fred to jenny joyce who's in allentown, record snowfall. trying to dig out. make their way through the roads and see ultimatel ultimately why holds for them. hey, jenny. >> reporter: good morning, karen and bill. we showed you just about veep minutes ago the main drag here

which is seventh street. it looks pretty clear. but the issue here really is the back roads and also the sidewalks a lot of digging out today after 31.9-inches. we've also seen a lot of business owners out and about. they've been trying to shovel the sidewalks and also lay some salt down. the other issue is that this is not necessarily the fluffy yesterday of snow it's only 18 degrees outside so this is hard packed snow. we also showed that you car that was around the corner that's just stuck on one of side streets like this. a lot less heavily traveled than this street in particular because this street doesn't look that bad but the car is just stranded. they tried to dig themselves out, and they wanted to get to one of the detectives, they have parking detectives in the city of allentown where people can park for free. they were trying to move their car before the plows come and bury their car even deeper, but their attempt was unsuccessful to even get out of that parking spot. so a lot of people are feeling

frustrated. also, people we talk to one woman who said she was at work the last few nights. she was snowed in. she works at a nearby hotel. not the worst flies get snowed in, but now she's back here and she's like, where the heck do i park because there's just snow everywhere. this is something that people here aren't used to. yes, it's the lehigh valley y, they tip plea get more snow than maybe philadelphia, but 30 plus inches on single day is just really unheard of, bill and karen. >> thanks, jenny. it is record set. people doing their best to respond and to recover. with all the snow what we really have been following is a lot of flooding. other people dig out people are really closely watching the flooding to see what is the impact. >> can you check on my house? we had brad to moved up more in wildwood there's some massive flooding. let's see. the waters -- i can't see the water right behind you. do i. >> what's it like right now. >> reporter: you're going to. you guys are gonna see the water in a seth this is an area where

we could not get to yesterday. we were told to come -- this is 26th street in wildwood. the acme right here. folks through the course of the night saying come to the acme. you will see literally where the flooding is happening. we couldn't get anywhere near here. we tried to hit side streets after side street to get this way out towards kind of the back bay. couldn't do it. the flooding as you can see here has subsided. but take a look to the right here. it is starting up again. i mean you can see it's coming right up to the water here to the acme here. the water is just coming in. this is the source of a lot of flooding in this area. and it is moving fast. just in the course of a few minutes that we've been here, already the water is coming up. we saw a truck kind of along the acme there kind of go around the back and the water already looked upwards of about a foot high. so it's just starting to work its way toward these homes once again. i would say there has to be dozen streets here that there was just no access point at all for the first time this morning able to get here but the

question is, how long will we be able to? because again the water is starting to move in. it's very cold. it's very slushy here. there are more people out and about. it appears, not even sure if the acme is open. we see some folks who are trying to work their way in but clearly the back of the acme is getting all flooded out as a lot of these homes and businesses are. but, again, obviously pretty descriptive view here to the source of the problem. we started off in wildwood. we were at the lobster house there had some problems during the high tide which was around 7:00 o'clock last night. the tide was worse in some places 7:00 o'clock -- actually 7:00 o'clock yesterday morning is when they had the problem over at the lobster house. and then continued problems for high tide last night and again we're at high tide right now. so the water once again is starting to rise. we'll continue to monitor this area but, again, take one final look here. pretty descriptive viewpoint of where this water is coming in at here, guys, back to you.

>> it is just amazing the power of nature. so much cleanup. brad, thanks so much. one of the things about that you never know the damage that's been done until you can actually get in. it looks finely you get in and see the entire place was flooded out. continue to send us your pictures. what types of comments are we getting now? snow everywhere. they were supposed to be helping daddy. instead they're chilling. >> snowball fight! >> beautiful sun, not looking forward to the dig out. not for the grown ups but the kids -- >> a lot of people are saying. that's what we're hearing and here from tj the od now -- >> ocean drive. >> oh, dear. that's the flooding. hopefully there's not significant damage in those homes. that's a big hot spot the big bar. the sun is out. it does make it look beautiful. hatboro, mr. breeze, thank you so much for sending that one in. >> snowball fight, fyi for the kids who threw snowballs at me while i was out on the streets. i'm looking for you. >> get him again. >> i'm looking for you. >> i didn't forget.

we'll be back. stay tuned. ♪

♪ it is a bright, bright sunshine knee day. i got good idea. what's that? >> let's do a little weather and traffic. >> good idea. >> you're always thinking. what a plan. >> let's start with sue sorry eighty seven sue? >> i also agree it's an excellent idea since we're here, right? so here's tweet from resourceful mom one who says

this is looking down route 212 in spring town which is in upper bucks county. our poor mailbox. at least she's ha, haing about it. if that's all you lost in the storm, then you're doing pretty well i think. ultimate doppler showing the exit of the storm late late last night and in case you missed it, we are now at number four in the snowiest storms we've ever had in philadelphia. 22.4-inches the official total here. let's check some totals for delaware. tallyville had 14.2-inches. west dover, 12.8. it was well over a foot in new castle international airport. 16.1. right around a foot in hokessin and robo hedge beach 3-inches of snow but they made up for it in win. look at some of wind gusts at the peak of the storm yesterday. miles an hour in dewey beach. tuckerton, new jersey, 68 miles an hour the peek wind gust at atlantic city international was 58 miles an hour. we calmed down a bit. 18-mile an hour in wildwood.

28 miles an hour in mount poco pocono. as you're walk out the door this morning first time venturing out since all this started it's 22 degrees in the city. teens and 20s everywhere else. but the wind chills many of them are in the single numbers this morning. two below zero wait feels like in lancaster. wind chill of 10 in philadelphia. so you still have to layer it up even with all of that sunshine and reminder that we're still in the time of high tide for most of our shore points so coastal flood advisory new castle and salem counties warnings for all these other coastal places and that's what we've got. plenty of sunshine for the rest of dig out day and we stay in the 20s throughout lunch time. topping off about 30, 31 degrees. bright, bright sunshine, reflecting off all of that snow. and then anything that we had that was a little melt tee refreezes with temps in the 20s overnight. dave warren, how are the roads looking right now? >> main roads inter states are looking good. this is the other side of the ben franklin bridge looking into new jersey here.

cars moving along nicely much the plows they've been all night road treatments are working with the temperatures into the 20s. so it's the inter states are fine but now you get to the side roads and some intersections where the plows go through one way they leave that hump of snow happened right out front here. so that's what you have to deal with. that will be the toughest part getting out of your driveway. roads are still very narrow. the plows have to really widen out those roads, work on it get it done here over the next few days. but right now, this is right around the vine street expressway you can see if you are traveling once you get to this point, you're good but it's getting out of your driveway and side streets still a little icy. the sunshine all day today will really help melt the snow on the roads but then that will refreeze tonight. saying that over and over here over the next few days. see if we warm things up in the seven day look at that coming up little bit later. >> thank you very much, dave. i'm listening and looking closely because i'm trying to figure out i'm going to get home. get into my driveway later on today. >> all right. given that problems here also was all up and down the entire east coast. our nation's capitol our white

house whole lot wider. let's get down to melanie right now in gaithersburg, maryland. my cousin lives over there. how is it, melanie? >> reporter: it's pretty bad i got to be honest with. you wake up and look around here and it feels like you're in the frozen tundra somewhere. snow piles are incredible. this is not typical here this parking lot that i'm in that's because this shopping center had private contractors we were here yesterday. they worked non-stop through all of this. now officially, gaithersburg and parts that are to the north and west of washington, d.c. got we're thinking maybe 33-inches of snow. so think about that what you guys are dealing with in philly, put another 10-inches on top of that. and you can see it's really tough to walk through. we know a lot of people will be coming out today. with the kids and the shreds and everything but same as you guys were talking about. it's a lot of work for the parents. it's a lot of worry about your roofs, about the gutters, about

all those things that your home that, you know, frankly people here in d.c. -- noun d.c. dupont circle they are talking about having a big snowball fight. (laughter). >> the difference between the condo dwellers, young people in the city and the ones who when you're in the suburbs and all worries that you have about being a homeowner, but over all, people are doing great. we had a couple of roof collapses in different parts of the area. nobody injured. fortunately everyone was really worried about the power outages. and we had very few like maybe just a couple hundred power outages. that was about it. but earlier, the day before the storm, the city's emergency management folks were warning they said they got out of this storm with less than 25,000 people without power, we'd be doing well. so you know everyone can stay safe. i want to leave you one more thought if you don't mind. >> okay. >> nine weeks till spring break. >> there you go. >> whoo! >> thank you very much. >> thank you melanie.

to get that much of a positive report from d.c., i lived in d.c. for while they're not prepared to deal with the snow. >> no. >> for it to be that smooth thanks melanie. >> let's get down to steve keeley right now before we check in the water was almost at the median where he was. are you still in the same location or did you move over a little, steve. >> reporter: let me add something to the traffic report that's very important on the serious side first. the worst sun glare we experienced is when we have a fresh coating of snow because it is bouncing right off the ground. so if you're driving especially now with that sun low and all of that new snow out there, sunglasses and watch out for people walking in the street that you wouldn't expect to be in the street but they are because none of the sidewalks are done. sun glare a major issue for driving right now. you can see it bright -- bright at the shore i'm sure it's bright around philly and way up to the lehigh valley it's going bounce right off the ground. coincidentally we're on buffalo avenue, karen, in ventnor. buffalo one of the snow capitals and snowy scene here.

looking very buffalo like but we showed you the back bays. we thought you'd like to see the front of the high tide and look at it encroaching the beach and my man jared not going walk too much further i don't want him falling off this freshly made cliff here on the dune. but as you pan left, look at the -- >> a lot of ear rogue. >> torn away protecting the dune and that's about four, 5 feet high right there. so here in ventnor as bad as this ocean looks right now you see the ocean spraying as mother nature repossesses her sand back, this is nowhere near yesterday. almost polar plunge worthy jared thinking about taking a dip after our last hit and maybe taking one now live tv. so a beautiful day out here, but you can see, a high tide still encroachinencroaching from bothf all these barrier islands, and we're probably going to have a lot more flooding again but, again, it doesn't have the impact that that first high tide did when the winds were blowing straight from the northeast that's why we call these storms nor'easters and do so much

damage but you're looking straight down at margate and longport. look at that shot. you can see the try idea condo complex and the sea mist down there. close to longport point. but what a beautiful day in terms of visibility and again, as bad as this might look to you at home, in terms of beach erosion or angry surf, it is nowhere near what we saw yesterday morning and certainly yesterday afternoon as we watched high tide roll in a lot of foam again and so much sand gone but again only four months to get it ready for memorial day, right, karen. >> and steve, you were talking about the sun glare. my mom would tell you you're a person that you like to be tan but not necessarily out in the sun. you shall put your sunscreen on you can get a terrible sunburn when you're out with the reflective snow. >> reporter: yes. sunglasses are key today for sure. boy n ocean is getting close to us. >> get out of there. >> reporter: you're determined to get another youtube blooper out of this. >> no way. get on back. thank you.

>> you two talking about tanning. it's january. >> almost february. >> you can get a terrible sunburn from the reflection from the snow. >> let's worry about the flooding. we'll get to the tanning later. >> you know what they did last night even though we had the snow and cancel theville notify van flyers game. >> tell me. >> lottery numbers. let's take look at some of the winning lottery numbers. maybe you had them. we hope you do. >> we'll be right back. ♪

which will refreeze tonight but at least you're not dealing with accumulating snow like we had yesterday. still coastal flooding this is from yesterday. od, oh dear new york shower happy hour today. not happening. we have flooding issues again. maybe not quite as severe as it's been thanks to the wind direction. it's changed to the northwest still gusting 20 miles an hour in wildwood. these were full yesterday about twice as high. 30, 40 miles an hour gusts a little bit of a wind chill but not nearly as gusty as yesterday and as that changes direction, that's a good thing because we may not see record flooding we're still seeing major coasting flooding high tide along the coast seven to eight now. little bit later in the back bays, so that water will work its way in from the bay. that's still happening right now. minor flooding with coastal flood advisory of a little -- up towards the delaware bay and delaware river. minor flooding that high tide about midday today between about 10:00 o'clock and 12:30. record flooding at stone harbor yesterday.

past record was sandy above it by a foot yesterday morning high tide again yesterday evening's high tide but the wind changes direction. that let's some of that water drain. drop blow flood stage this morning. but now with this current high tide back above the major stage, maybe not quite up to the record stage but the flooding continu continues. the wind you'll certainly feel that. it's helped a little bit here but it won't help you when you step outside, right, sue that wind chill. >> it is really cold out there. that's why we often say deceiving sunshine on morning like this and bright sunshine reflecting off that newly fallen snow from yesterday and how much snow we had. let's check some temperatures for you as you walk out the door maybe you ran out of bread you ate it all and drank all the milk. you stocked up on before the storm and now you want to go out. so here it is. 22 degrees in philadelphia. thanks, dave. 25 in wildwood, and 13 in mount pocono but these are the actual temperatures. all of them below freezing and then it feels even colder than witness wind chill of 10 degrees

in philly and even colder in all of our suburbs much this is what it looks like outside. this is market street. you can see some of the street of market street and eventually we'll get another plow down and i'm sure it will be fine. 10 degrees what it feels like with 22 is our actual temperature. comincoming up we have a mel and refreeze. this is going to be our problem for the next couple of days with very cold nights with temperatures in the 20s but it will gradually be getting warmer during the day some rain later on in the week and, yes, we should only be talking about rain but of course we'll -- one thing at a time but in the meantime, whatever you're doing today out in the snow make sure you send us your photos and use the #fox29snow. i can't believe how many zillions of pictures we got yesterday, guys, that were so excellent. good job everybody. >> absolutely much we love them keep them coming. thank you, sue. >> they got personal. somebody shoveled my walk. >> aww. >> love ya.

>> we've been talking about some of the restrictions on the roads, plowing, clearing things off. delaware actually had a restrict only emergency vehicles and from delaware department of transportation jim westoff is on the line with us. good morning, sir. >> good morning. >> when is that changing? we still have that in place right now but i think that will be lifted soon? >> yes. it's in place right now, and the governor is having a presser about 11:00 o'clock. i suspect he'll make an announce many about that. >> what goes into that, i mean the governor will kind of clarify that. but how much is that helpful to you guys in doing your job? a lot of places are hesitant to tell everyone to stay off the road. you naked announcement. i'd imagine that makes things a lot easier on deldot. >> it's extraordinarily helpful. my friends that are plow operators tell me their biggest danger is on the drivers when they're in their trucks. they got to be reall really carl about other vehicles when there's no cars on the road they can have three or four trucks

lined up echelon system go right down whole highway the once. very effective when we have whole road to ourselves. >> that's true. like the ones that hit steve keeley over in new jersey before. given the situation i'll bet a lot of people getting some ants in their pants to get out of the house. initially we heard that would be changing the restrictions around 10:00 this morning. yes. >> people will be out on the roads to get out and do some stuff. can they do it? >> well, we've had more than 330 plows and 500 people working all weekend through the night, every night. so our roads are in a condition you think we can start inviting some of our residents out on the roads, but i still caution everyone to please if you don't have to go out today, please don't. our roads are not perfect. there's a lot of roads upstate that haven't been plowed at all yet. please reconsider if you really don't have to go out. >> jim westoff deldot.

definitely have to wipe it off otherwise it's going to hit the car driving behind you. snow definitely fun to play in, not fun to drive in. we've been seeing car after car stuck in snow. we're hearing that this van was actually snowed in to this parking lot overnight and now it can't seem to get out of this parking lot. and sir, you said you've been walking around just trying to help dig people out of this snow. >> yeah. trying to help anybody that needs help. >> reporter: and tell me what you've seen so far this morning. as people wake up and look out their window and dealing with 3 feet of snow. >> oh, man. it's crazy out there. it's like everybody is trying and struggling we was not prepared, like, they salted the streets but nothing really happened. >> reporter: yeah taking a look at side streets like this. i think this is tillman street right off of seventh street. >> yes, it is. >> reporter: and it's passible but it's snow covered, and if you veer off to one side or the other, you're going to get stu stuck. you're going to get in trouble

because a couple feet of snow out here. you can see taking a look at this van the wheels are just spinning as it tries to get itself out of this spot. so there is trouble here in allentown because it's not just the snow as we've been saying. it's also -- it's 18 degrees out here. so it's hard packed snow we talked to some people around the corner who their vehicle was stuck and the shovel actually just completely snapped. they were trying to break up the snow because it was frozen. here we go. this car is -- van is going to be stuck here for a little while longer. we'll try to assist him as well, karen and bill. >> tell them to straighten their wheels. you mentioned it and you think of it jenny this is that heart attack where it's so thick and so heavy. some folks want to get shovelers to dig them out so they don't have an issue. >> reporter: absolutely. >> all right. thank you jenny. >> dr. mike actually said that. >> be careful take it slow. we'll be back. ♪

good morning. >> good morning. how are you doing. >> great, great, thank you. so pretty much a total shut down all the flights were grounded friday evening through saturday. what's the process and progress in getting them back going? >> well things are going pretty well in the sense that we worked all through yesterday to clear out the snow. so runways are open. this morning almost all flights were canceled, but we know that middle of the afternoon at 3:00 o'clock american airlines plans to resume about half of its remaining flights. so -- and other airlines are also gradually getting back on operate dag. so bit by bit we're ready to resume. >> now one of the things that sue serio noticed as we take look right now live pictures of the airport is the huge ice melters and the snow melters. how much of an issue is it finding a place to put all the snow once you plowed it off the tarmac? >> that's why we melt it. it really work out well to just put it all down, you know, melt it down and it goes into storm drain.

>> one of the challenges and you guys are clearing the runways and, you know, deicing the plains. one of the things people have to remember it's not just about physical. the entire region, entire coast got slammed. you have to coordinate witness destinations, correct? >> each airline coordinates, you know, with its own system. and figures out its own best way to run its aircraft. >> so you're saying about 3:00 o'clock today some of the flights from american you're not expecting really to be back open for business as we expect on a normal day really till tomorrow? >> an even tomorrow morning we're told that some airlines may not completely be up and running until midday. so that's why we're really encouraging people to stay in touch with their carrier or else they can call the airport at one-800-phl hi gate good mary flannery, thank you very much for providing all the information. we appreciate it. >> nice to talk with you. >> let's get down the shore one of our big problem spots we did have that tide coming in and we've been seeing a lot more flooding right there. wow, what a change behind you, brad sattin.

that's really come in. >> reporter: yeah, it really is. this is the source of the problem it's really flooding out a lot of these neighborhoods and just a second we'll show you some pretty dramatic new video we just got a few moments ago. but take look at this. this is where it's coming in right by this acme here. this is an area we were trying to get to yesterday for hours and couldn't find a way to get to it because the whole region was flooded. in fact, dave, let's turn the camera. you can see the water is making its way and boy, we have a real sun problem here but if you can see the pictures here, the water making its way into the neighborhoods because, again, we had high tide hitting over the last hour so the water still on the rise before it will once again go back down. we want to show you amazing video from this acme here that one of the employees gave us just a few minutes ago. this was last night. he open the receiving door this is the back of the store here and this is what he saw. water all the way up to the floor there. literally it looked like you were out in the middle of the bacon see anything.

just, you know except water. you see a telephone pole in part of that shot but this is the flooding the employee saw yesterday. he actually got stranded here yesterday and took some of these pictures. had a chance to talk to another employee a little while ago by the name of tom solomon he describes what he saw yesterday. take a listen. >> we got flooded in. no damage to the house, but, um, we lost our car. we're just hoping it just needs a jump but it was pretty high. car got soak, the wiring got soaked. a lot of people lost their cars and their houses. i know people who lost their houses in west wildwood that's the worst place to have a house and i feel a lot of people who are, you know, lifting their houses and this is the reason that they do it. >> reporter: clearly hard to assess the damage last night in the dark, but as daylight hit a few hours ago, we're seeing more and more folks around here but again still dealing with high tide issues. what we're hearing it's not going to be as bad as it was yesterday.

but as far as the damage you're hearing those stories and more and more loss of homes and cars. that kind of thing as this water continues to come in here right by this acme again we're at 25th and park boulevard in wildwood. we've yet to make it to north wildwood which was really hit hard yesterday. that's maybe about an, a mile or so up the road here so we'll check out next and through the day report back to you. again the source of big problem here, the back waters here, the bay here is really flooding out a lot of these neighborhoods. guys. >> a lot of insurance claims are going to be coming in. brad, thank you very much, we appreciate it. >> so far in downingtown we heard about a church that will need to rebuild. >> yup. >> heard about 4-foot snow drifts. we've seen people digging out and we know jenn fred is probably wearing her pajamas underneath all the clothes that she has on. jenn fred in downingtown washington do you got for us now? >> reporter: well, because i'm an actual working journalist there's no jammies but i can tell was, a lot of people in and

around downingtown certainly are still in their pajamas and shaking their head about this church behind me. now we've kind of moved positions and i want you to know that when the pastor was called here last night, he thought that there was just like a minor water problem. >> when i walked in and saw it for the first time i was expecting to see a broken pipe because water was flooding everywhere. i was expecting to see a broken pipe and opened up the door and looked in and saw the sky. it's not what you expect to see. >> reporter: as you can see, it looks as though people were sitting in these seats when this happened that they would have been horribly injured. so this happened about 6:00 o'clock last night. the pastor found out about this because that pipe he was talking about it burst and it alerted the fire department. so the fire marshal called the pastor because it was some kind of fire pipe, a water pipe in there that kind of, you know, fireproofs the building. as you can see it's a massive

structure. really heartbreaking thing over there the high school, the middle school, a lot of the kids they say sometimes 1200 in a week can come over there and play sports so they really don't know what they're going to do with that church. this is chester county. we'll move throughout the area and show i was little bit more of the area. >> all right. jenn, thank you very much. and a lot of the churches i know the catholic archdiocese said if you can't get in it's not safe then you can either stream it online which church is doing and many folks will be doing that today because there's so much snow. we'll keep you inform. keep watching. we'll be right back. ♪ give it to me i'm worth it ♪ ♪ baby i'm worth it ♪ ♪ uh huh i'm worth it ♪ ♪ gimme gimme i'm worth it ♪ ♪ give it to me i'm worth it ♪ ♪ baby i'm worth it ♪

♪ welcome back. so many of us maybe you're wakinwaking up like got to get f the house. we got to venture out and make our way on the roads. let's see how they are. >> what's the situation with the plowing? joining secretary of transportation lesley richards for pennsylvania. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so a lot going on right now. trying to prioritize all of the plowing. give us a little bit of update. how we doing so far? >> we're doing well. we're still aggressively working to improve travel conditions. we'll be doing that throughout the day we still have all of our forces, 450 trucks in the five-county area. we still have speed restrictions in place at 9:00 o'clock this morning we are going to lift our vehicle ban on our expressways and we're really going to be

concentrating on secondary roadways and especially all the drifting that happened last night during the high winds. >> you guys have done a great, great job. i was out on the highways this morning on the schuylkill expressway. almost highway speed you could travel a little bit below that. so now the trucks will be allowed back on to our big roads? >> as of 9am, yes. >> we were speaking to and we heard about governor markell and the restriction that they put on all the roads basically telling people to stay off the roads. how does that decision work? is it just that we have so many, so much size and that it's tough to do here in philadelphia and in pennsylvania? >> we really felt most of our roads we were able to get passible and we do know there are other emergencies, we didn't want to close if we didn't have to. and so as long as we felt that we could stay on top of it, of course, during throughout entire storm we were advising people not to go out unless they absolutely had to go out. and that was huge help. drivers really listened and they

allowed our machine operators and our equipment operators to get out there and do their job which they can do best when there's not other traffic, you know, impeding them in their duties. >> well, we're taking a look at the roads now. they look fabulous from our traffic cams. you've been doing great work and you continue to. lesley, thank you very much. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> all right. so we are in the process of calling it a wrap for now. but we got to find out what's going on. one more look at the interactive weather. >> what's going on is time to dig out. we got sunshine there. look at that roadway, though, a lot of the streets there now grid. the plows go one way and the other so might want to take a little extra time this morning, the roads are pretty narrow especially those side streets and a fresh coating of snow kids will destroy that later, thank thank you michael. digging out here, bill, where is the car? it's in there somewhere. good luck with that one, bill. stay home. >> good luck. >> that's what we have this morning. so we're digging out the snow is

gone. no more accumulating snow out there ultimate doppler is all clear. these temperatures and the wind chill, wind chill what you'll feel this morning. feels like 10 on your skin with that wind about 13 miles an ho hour. higher gusts up to 23. latest observation came in oh, boy 1 degree. coastal flood warnings still. major flooding high tide along the coast seven to eight. a little bit later about an hour and hour and a half in the back bays that's where you're getting significant flooding those waters will continue to climb and it's not the record flooding like the last two high tides. it will be close. it's still major but because the wind has changed direction, that water was able to drain. this is stone harbor records beat sandy high tide here yesterday for the morning and the afternoon. still major flooding but maybe not quite as bad as it's been. the temperatures are into the 20s now and we have temperature of 21 degrees in wilmington. 20 in allentown. so it's cold out there. when you factor in the wind it feels like it's down into the single digits even below zero when you step outside to do that

work, bundle up. because that wind not as strong as yesterday but what it feels like on anything that is exposed. exposed skin. so that's what it will feel li like. dig out day today. so we'll see that melting with that bright sunshine and then it refreezes overnight tonight and the seven day forecast we're into the 40s on tuesday with a few showers. by wednesday there's a few clouds. still a little cool on thursday. we will watch a storm on friday. watch the coast. >> dave, i've seen a lot of videos coming in the snow challenge that's what you will be doing when you leave here today. taking off your shirt and jumping in the snow. >> right. >> post a picture. >> we don't need any of those. >> shoveling out playing in the snow great pictures coming in. >> the kids are so cute. >> sue, thank for coming in on this sunday. >> it was fun. i can dig it on dig out day. >> we're done. for now. but we'll be back at 10:00. all of your updates, press conferences, so don't go
