live in storm force 10 or just outside of storm force 10. jesse, where are you and what are conditions like where you are? >> reporter: tracy, we are in wayne, delaware county. we have gotten back outside of storm force 10. we took it for a loop around the streets here in wayne, delaware county. because we wanted to make sure what we are seeing is not atypical. here's the problem we have ice here. you can see how far the ice extends all the way up the sidewalks and all the way up to the next set of cars. i've got to be careful. whoa. let me do this so i don't fall. all the way up the sidewalk to the next car. so the street is salted. and that's not the problem. the problem is once you get out of your house, just walking on the sidewalks, you're going to run into a plot of ice. this is not atypical. we went to some of the side streets adjacent to here and st. davids. you can see patches completely

iced over. and it is very easy to slip. if you're headed out, make sure you bear that in mind. show caution coming down your steps and front walkway and onto the sidewalk. then when you get into the vehicle by the curb that's where a lot of ice is. be careful with the streets heavily salted. we are live in wayne, delaware county. another live update in 30 minutes. what a mess is icy conditions caused yesterday. a series of problems on major roadways across the region on sunday. three people consider killed and dozens hospitalized. two people were killed in a crash on i-76 near marple road. and then the 60-car pileup on the schuylkill expressway near the gulphs mills exit. eric alan blau was having car trouble, got out of his vehicle and was hit by another car

right-hand side. it's a two-floor unit. i'm told that three people lived inside this unit where the fire broke out. firefighters tell me that two men were able to get out of the fire on their own and are not injured. a third person, a woman, was also inside when the fire broke out. firefighters are not releasing any information about her condition right now. i can tell you that is not a good thing considering police have put tape up around this building. there are a number of police officers who have gotten here since i have been here. and firefighters are still milling around. many of them are huddling in small groups and that is not a good sign. we are waiting for confirmation of the injuries of that third person who was in this fire. but i talked to one of the firefighters who was first on the scene and he tells me when they got in they went up to the second floor where the fire was coming from. he said it was such heavy smoke and heavy flames it was zero visibility. he said it was incredibly difficult to fight this fire. there was, i'm told by another

firefighter, a second floor collapse during the process of this. so the firefighters were dealing with pretty dangerous conditions. and developing conditions as they were inside the fire. and then once outside, they have a number of hydrants that have been in use, but because the water is pouring out, the pavement where they have been walking to and from the home that was on fire extremely slippery because it's frozen. so they have the conditions of fighting the fire on top of the frozen conditions on the pavement. and then it's freezing conditions outside, they are really cold. so for a lot of the firefighters they look to be crest-fallen. we are not told the extent of the third person's injuries. we hope to have that for you in a few minutes. back to you. we have breaking news from maryland where fire crews are working to put out a large house fire in annapolis. we do have a live picture that

we are working on but we do know the fire has been burning for two-and-a-half hours now. no reports of any injuries. firefighters don't know what sparked the flames and we are working to get a live picture from our sister station out of washington. security is tighter around vice president joe biden's delaware home after shots were fired near his property over the weekend. the secret service says the shots were fired from a speeding car saturday night in greenville new castle county. the vice president and his wife were out of the area at the time so they were not home. the secret service agents saw the vehicle speed past the home and a short time later a vehicle tried to pass the outer perimeter but was stopped. the driver was taken into custody for resisting arrest and is being questioned by police. they are trying to figure out if he was involved in the shooting. a vigil is planned for the newborn baby burned alive in burlington county. donations will be accepted to pay for the baby's funeral. police arrested the infant's mother after witnesses saw her

ice disappear. but we are tracking more wet weather and light snow possible a little later this week. right now we saw a few scattered snow showers in the pocano mountains. just cloudy and 30 degrees. clouds over trenton and 36 in wilmington. even with temperatures above freezing, that's the air temperature. that's not the temperature of the ground or the temperature of the ice patches that are at the side of the road. most of the majors are doing just fine, but many of the side streets still have ice on them as jesse gary has showed us this morning. 33 in pottstown and doylestown wrightstown, 33 degrees. the temperatures have been edging up slowly this morning. but expect to still find some patches of ice. look at swarthmore 33 degrees. saint davids, newtown square both above freezing but i guarantee there's ice on the roadways in those areas. and the clouds overhead produced a few flurries this morning. that's going to be the exception. the clouds will thing out this

afternoon. we'll get breaks of sunshine. and these few light snow showers and flurries will completely disappear. so conditions will be improving today as temperatures climb into the 40s. your hour-by-hour forecast shows just above freezing at 8:00. by later this morning an earlier this afternoon, we'll be looking at temperatures in the 40s. but the wind will be blowing. seven-day forecast when i'm back in ten. so the caution of refreezing, to be careful on the roads, sidewalks septa platforms. as soon as you step out the door. >> just plan for extra time this morning. jillian mele is watching the roads for us. any problems out there yet? >> getting in and out of center city, philadelphia shouldn't be problematic for a lot of drivers. the majors for the most part are clear. you can still watch for icy spots but we are not reporting any accidents on roads like 95 the vine street expressway and 76. in fact, 76 your drive times right as we round the coshocton curve here drive times are average this morning. so between the blue route and

the areas that didn't dry up from yesterday. close to two inches in some spots. a few flurries isolated snow showers this morning. you can see them in lancaster and southern chester county. and into northern chester county as well. you might see a like or two, but that is about it. it's wednesday. we'll see a quick moving clipper. by wednesday afternoon, some light snowfall. by wednesday night, there she goes. by thursday morning, we'll be in the clear. we could see an inch or two on the ground. the computer snow model shows by noontime on wednesday, no accumulation for most of the area. the pocano mountains might have a dusting by then. but during the afternoon, we'll see an inch on the ground for allentown and pottstown. some light accumulation in philadelphia that will tie up an inch or two inches for the lehigh valley and the pocano mountains. typical of fast moving clippers. you don't see a lot of snow with them. today you may see a flew flurries to start with and clouds break for some sunshine this afternoon. gusty winds will make it feel colder than the actual temperatures. it will be in the 40s but feel

like the 30s. then overnight tonight, it gets colder, 28 degrees to start with. a dry day and less windy tomorrow. 42 degrees for the high temperature. here comes that clipper for wednesday. a chance for some light snow mixing with rain farther to the south and east in delaware and south jersey. then cold weather to follow for thursday and into friday. a little bit of a warm up on saturday. a high of 44 after a cold start saturday morning. then a chance with mostly cloudy skies. we'll see a few scattered showered on sunday. >> everybody is talking about what happened over the weekend. in fact, jean blom from penndot say we thought it was going to rain but the cautionary tale was that the ground was so cold. right? >> it was very cold overnight. there was a quick warm-up on sunday morning by about 3:00 in the morning. the temperature was 24 degrees in philadelphia. by 7:00 it had moved up 8 degrees. if you're looking at the data to make a decision on whether to send ice trucks out or not the deal with salt you look at 32

degrees and rain and temperatures quickly climbing not a big issue. but the ground is going to warm up much slower than the air. and in a situation like that the ice quickly formed in the air to take a long time for the ice to disappear. even with temperatures above freezing i was watching my patio and i had 37 degrees and still ice on the patio. that's what we are dealing with this morning with the rain coming down. the areas have reiced overnight and will be slow to clear even with temperatures just above freezing. bill thank you for that. >> we continue to follow breaking news from montgomery county. an apartment fire there. we are told by nbc 10's katy zachry live on the scene that two men escaped but one whom was pulled from the apartment and they are not releasing information on her condition. at last check, we'll find out from katy zachry in just minutes. and we are on top of icy conditions in your neighborhood.
