that crash did if the cause any backups. so if you are seeing this report, if you are about to head out the door, for the time being, avoid i-95 south in the area of cottman and academy, maybe even, further then that. when we drove by the crash scene, we did see a tow truck here at the scene. we know that they are working to clear the road but as bob mentioned there is a i fuel leak, so, they certainly have a lot to clean up, before they get this road, backup and running and moving. karen and thomas. >> slow start for people. thank you. 4:36. of course, we are continuing to follow path of this messy winter weather. steve keeley finally brush off that snow and he is roaming about this morning, steve? >> reporter: thomas, jenny has got serious part of the snow, i will be lighter, if i can, hopefully we don't to have do anything serious. by wait my snow fashion tip of the take, more than one hat. if you can get one with a vis or and i have an eagles hat i will still faithfully be an eagles fan during playoff time as eagles are

you can see backups starting to form here. for those in and around this area i would say if you can wait a little bit longer, i would. if not if you have to push out of the door right now give yourself an extra i don't know at minimum an extra half hour at this point. so heads up, accident has not yet been cleared and it the is still on the roadway, lot of brake lights here. boulevard pushing in the southbound direction toward schuylkill we are not looking that bad once you jump on the schuylkill westbound around city avenue looking similar. we are starting to build our levels. we can expect as we are cracking toward the 6:00 o'clock hour but things are looking good. would i say they are looking typical. typical in the world of travel is not necessarily i bad thing construction here north broad street at roosevelt boulevard lanes are block, those are block between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. through late january the head up on that. another reminder schuylkill river while repairs and trying this bound is closed between sweet briar

a miles long backup. as bob kelly was doing his traffic report i could see on the left side the shoulder they were trying to move cars through but it looks like they have reopened all of the lanes so this is great news at 5:00 this is morning as people are watching the news and getting ready. this he were probably dreading their trip to work. so hopefully this is a good sign for the rest of the morning and obviously heading out you to want to be careful because this jackknifed tractor trailer that happened a little bit before 2:00 a.m. in the area of cottman avenue, i-95 southbound that was just one of several accidents that happened on i-95 this morning. right now, it is not snowing. we did see flurries but roads are definitely slick. the it seems like maybe people were under estimating the condition of the roadway, and so definitely take it easy out there, as you're heading out, this morning, now what took so long to get this accident cleared, as bob kelly mentioned was there was also a fuel spill. even

>> backups are not great when you have ran somewhere attack like the hollywood press or something like that, but in this case, what they took control of work life operational systems and then they were locked out of the backups because the attackers got in and changed all of the passwords and the machines so they lock them out when the employees went to log back in, they were locked out of their own machines. they have to have better safeguards in place for the system. systems that are segmented between what they called the militarized zones in really operate these things insecure enclaves that the problem is everything is tied together, so if you can get into the one pod come you can get into everything. >> jenna: scary every time we talk about it, morgan. going through my mind, what do i depend on electricity for? everything, computer monitor, phone, refrigerator, every single thing. what is your advice to viewers watching today about how to protect themselves? >> i boil it down to basically my fundamentals. you can get someone a helmet and shoulder pads but that does not mean they a
