apart. sometimes with big storms like this you clear the sky out from clouds. as we look at stormtracker 6 live double scan where we are getting hammered now with heavy snow wrikts town and browns mills and right straight through burlington county and ocean county and parts of atlantic county and garden state county not a good drive now but the band continues to push into long beach island into the next 45 minutes to an hour. this is the heaviest snow the bright purposing here along the garden state parkway south and east of lower bank from the inchange of the atlantic city expressway. this is over 3 inches of snow per hour rates just blinding there. as it heads towards long beach island so a quick blast of snow along the shore before it ends and social media lighting up with photos and videos. and it's great to see because we get that one-on-one with you here. but a lot of times it's not good. what we see in especially new

jersey is a lot of trees coming down because of the weight of the snow. this is from somerdale, new jersey, this is a large tree and all root system up here going across the backyard and the bench there, we see the power outages increase with the weight of the snow starting to do damage on some of those weaker trees. winds they are not horrible. nothing like the last nor'easter but steady winds of 16 miles per hour. and 26 at the boardwalk and 10 miles per hour at the lehigh valley. that is bringing the branches down and creating low windchills only in the 20s across the board. a distinctive chill in the air with the warmest spot mt. pocono matching land caffer at 32 degrees. the storm bringing the thundersnow. we had 50 to 100 lightning strikes with the storm heading into new england. there is that drier air coming in near pittsburgh and energy is

wrapping around this large low, for tonight it's windy and chilly and watch for slick spots. get the slush and snow off the pavement and dipping below freezing into the overnight hours. winds northwest 10 to 20 and low pressure wrapping around us 30 tomorrow with melting snow at 42. and friday a spoke of energy with a morning flurry. still brisk as the low stays to the north and own 43 degrees. we look at the accuweather forecast a snowy start to finish march seven day in the low 40s a degree or two every day and sun for tomorrow. and 43 degrees and turn the locks ahead an hour saturday night and cloudy on sunday, that is not a typo the possibility of another nor'easter sunday night

into monday. and then it's still cold monday and tuesday into wednesday. no signs of spring. only one model has it hitting the region and the others just to the south. that is four days away. >> the timeline is interesting, one after the other. >> the

all right want to give you a live look at the conditions out here now is there a prettier place in philadelphia than this. rittenhouse square where the trees are coated in heavy white snow and fortunately the roadways are cleared there and folks out now enjoying it. the dog you saw up on two legs got me some shoes and this is the situation in center city philadelphia and the roads are clear for the most part and folks doing their best to shovel and enjoying it now that the worst is behind us.
