low levels of the atmosphere are just so dry. but until 9:00 a.m. we do have the possibility of some light freezing rain. icing on some surfaces and the sun is going to melt everything. and it will cure all our problems in a few hours. from philadelphia northward to the area possible with icing until 9:00 a.m. and on the radar, we're seeing more and more of the green, which is just the regular rain. and we have the pink which is the icing. so that's helpful. and temperatures creep up a little bit. you can see some of the rain not reaching the ground here but the low levels of the atmosphere are dry. and these are the actual reports from the major reports. the only place reporting any precipitation is trenton with rain. and they are at 37 degrees. so they are in pretty good shape. but allentown, reading lancaster, even wilmington the temperature is around freezing.

so that's why we have to watch it until temperatures go up. patchy light icing. 33 degrees. clearing by 9:00. and then sunshine and 50 by noon. nbc 10's first alert traffic reporter jillian mele has the latest on traffic. good morning to you, glenn. good morning to you at home. we'll start things off in new jersey right now with a live look at 73 right at interstate 295. you can see a few drivers out there with the roads here dry and quiet. 295 is free of any incidents out there right now. and checking drive times on 95 southbound, that's typically where we get the volume as we approach the 6:00 mark. right now 13 minutes is the drive time southbound from woodhaven road to the vine street expressway with the vine also clear. thank you. 5:32. we continue to follow breaking news out of new jersey where crews have been on the scene of a restaurant fire for several hours now at the historic sergeantsville inn ten miles north of lambertville. katy zachry is live from the scene.

you just talked to the mayor earlier who called this the heart and soul of his town. heartbreaking for him to see. >> reporter: it really is heartbreaking. it's heartbreaking for many of the firefighters who were called in to battle this blaze for two hours as the fire raged. and right now you can see some of those firefighters are still on the roof area. the fire is out and for all intensive purposes they tell me it's under control. but they are breaking through some of the roof and some of that second floor to make sure that there are no more hot spots. we'll go to some of our pictures we had sent in to us from a first responder of the fire at the height of it. these pictures are from around 3:00 a.m. where you can see flames just leapt through the roof. the fire we are told started on the first floor. an alarm inside the restaurant notified the fire department and police that there was a fire underway when they got here. you can see from the pictures what they were up against. so they called in backup throughout the area. the fire as i said has been put

out and is under control for all intensive purposes. what you have right here out at the scene is dozens of firefighters standing around taking in the magnitude of this historic restaurant. the sergeantsville inn dates back to the 1700s. you had people like george washington stay and dine here. other historic figures throughout the years. and most recently the restaurant and the hotel have been in operation since the 1700s. but most recently it was taken over in the last decade or so by someone who is very well-known in this community and has just made it a wonderful place for people to gather. so we are gathering more information from the number of people who are coming out from their homes and coming to see this historic site, which so sadly was taken by fire early this, mo. that's the latest live in sergeantsville katy zachry "nbc 10 news." and at 5:34 we're covering more breaking news from overnight. seconds away from disaster.

of this house. >> i was laying down. and all i heard was my husband call to everybody to get up and out of the house. >> it was really a mess in the front room. you could see where water was coming in. yeah, i took pictures. >> reporter: right here you can see the photos of the house taken just a few hours before this collapse happened. and i have reached out to camden officials this morning to find out what has been going on here. another live look at the property. you can see that the entire area is blocked off here so people are not allowed around the sidewalk area. again, i mentioned that police are out here on the scene. of course as the day progresses, they will try to stabilize the structure as best they can. but take a look at all the damage. pretty miraculous that everyone got out without a scratch. live in camden matt delucia, "nbc 10 news." the time is 5:36. happening today, a charity will hold a prayer vigil in honor of fallen officer robert wilson. the vigil is scheduled tonight at 6:00 in front of the video
