degrees out here, so it is melting a bit on the surface and you can see how much the snow has already we have those grass areas covered up to our right left, sidewalks are looking slushy, as well, i can say for myself, stepping out of my house this morning, in philadelphia, very slushy very wet and slippery so those are conditions you will see heading out this morning, of course, in montgomery county so conditions may vary, but the conditions are very bad now youy imagine how much worse they will be later this morning and this afternoon as this storm intensifies and conditions deteriorate, we are live from the mobile weather watcher jan carabao for cbs-3 "eyewitness news" back to you >> i get car sick watching these things unless i'm in control i get dizzy. my gosh, i thought wye lost lauren. >> did you like that. >> yes.

quiet throughout second half of the overnight period but overnight, last night we pick up 3 inches in ridley township and delco. nottingham 3 inches. half for montco 2 inches. at phl a half inch of wet snow fall, so future weather showing us as we head throughout the morning there were concerns we had for potential of mixing reduce totals, and now we will see less mixing, more snow, so as we head in the second half of the morning this will get more and more intense with that rain snow line, pushing more further off in the south and east. all snow north and west, and for good chunk of the delaware valley especially midday and early afternoon hours, where we could see snowfall rates of one to 2 inches per hour, that is prime time for this storm. as we head in the second half of the afternoon things will wrap up, quickly and by second half of your evening commute we will not have falling snow, but we will have to deal with everything that fell before that so for today a mixture to

heavy snow, blustery conditions, 38 the high, and snow coming to an end early cloud decreasing with a low of 30. as far as snow fall forecast we have expand that had six to 12 range east of the i-95 corridor, less mixing, meisha we will see more in the way have snowfall totals in these areas. >> i'm eating my stress away with check late in the traffic department lauren, i cannot take it. heating the warning good news as we are looking outside right now and vehicles on the roadway and and moving in the 6:00 o'clock hour. we are seeing it build we are not seeing that. and, only get worse. it is refreeze ago this has me most worried and right now knock on wood things are still looking, okay, delaware county beautiful shot here but you can see all of the snow, and if we zoom in, you can see how wet hydroplaning
