5:05 am
maybe the worst of it the is just walking to your car because my walk to my car was very dangerous. when i got to my car which was sitting out in the rain it was encased in ice. you pull door handle and like is the door be going to be opened. be prepared for that fuzz go out to your car any time soon. look at the this parking lot on street road at bensalem at what the was. every where you see a shine on the parking lot means it the is treacherous, and you can see this parking rot is on a hill. kind of a tilt which makes it doublely treacherous. first i was going to recommend baby steps now i'm recommending don't lift your feet from the ground just slide along the ground. ladies, thinks a no heel day. this is a ballet slipper day. it is so slippery you are like james brown's old moves, do you remember them, lauren. that is what it is like. the it doesn't take much water, no big puddles here just enough moisture, and it
5:06 am
froze. it is icy every where. you will do some falling if you can dress like you are in the roller derby or playing in the nhl, i recommend that because when you fall it won't hurt as much if you have a helmet on and pads every where. lets show you the worst of the accidents yesterday, one and two, the the first one, two men killed here, when their car slid under a jackknife tractor trailer. the just awful on the blue route at marple exit. and then on the schuykill expressway, no warning at all 20 of 7:00 still dark out people thought i'm on a main road at least i know main roads are salted. but you could not even catch up to the storm gene blum said. this guy got killed 31 year-old when he was one of the first vehicles involve in the accident and got out of his car. gene blum said we would rather have seven or 8 inches of snow on the ground then the freezing rain we had and frozen ground yesterday because that is way more treacherous and that is because people don't see it. we have talk about the
5:07 am
invisible ice factor especially when you are not expecting it. we keep saying north and west of the city will be the worst of it. i can tell you south jersey is bad. i saw an accident within five in minutes of leaving my house at the bet thecy ross bridge exit on to 90 and 130 and then i saw salt trucks on 130. so special thank you to those guys. and then the the mild per hour, on the bridge is, down to 35 on the betsy ross bridge. normally 45. one guy i saw on the bridge with me since it was a holiday not much traffic, was go tag to 30 very intelligently. even parking lots if you make a stop in for a coffee watch out, driving in this parking lot. that intersection there is a stop sign there, that is a sheet of ice. i made the in mistake of walking over there to inspect it and barely made it back to the truck coming up this hill. if you are walking on a hill be super careful today you's be like richard sherman after the game holding his elbow. he will get an mri a lot of
5:08 am
people will have same type of injuries as they fall on that left elbow and walking around like this all day he will play in two weeks though elbow problem or not. >> reporter: he didn't fall on the ice but i bet you people aren't going to be playing if they fall on something as hard as the parking lot here. maybe he is playing because he only felon a grassy surface up in seattle. >> yeah, all right, steve keeley, thank you. >> what a game that was. we will get to that in sports. you can track falling temperatures, track road conditions, whatever you need on our web site at my fox philly.com. now to our other top store thinks morning an investigation is underway into shots fired near vice-president joe biden's greenville delaware home. >> the vice-president will be in wilmington today for an event honoring doctor martin luther king junior. was not home at the time of the this. >> sabina kuriakose live in wilmington at the chase center with more on the story good morning, sabina. >> reporter: request morning guys. he will be here in just a few hours and then it comes after a the secret service revealed
5:09 am
that somebody fired a gun outside of biden's greenville area home. it happened just before 8:30 object saturday night. the secret service says multiple shots were fired through a vehicle being driven on a public road outside the the home's security perimeter. they say that the driver then fled the scene at a high rate of speed. now biden's home is several hundred yard away from the main road yesterday, authorities searched nearby homes to determine if any round had struck them. "fox news" is being questioned. it is a driver who tried to pass a new castle county police officer trying to secure the scene around the perimeter of biden's home just shortly after the shots were heard. that driver was arrested and he was charged with resisting arrest but again police still investigating whether he had anything to do with this incident. now, back here live, the secret service and new castle county police are
5:10 am
investigating the incident. again, vice-president joe biden will be here at this chase center a little later this morning for an mlk day event. no word whether he will address the incident but again, he and his wife were not home they were out at the time of the incident. back to you guys. >> sabina, thank you. president barack obama gearing up for the state of the union address tomorrow. the white house has released some of the policy proposals they will talk about during that speech that includes a tax policy aim at helping the middle class but it would mean tax increases for the wealthiest americans. capitol gains increase will be placed on couples earning more than 500 grand a year and proposal would eliminate a tax break on inheritance to give new tax credits to the the middle class. >> we need to double down on our efforts to deal with waste stagnation and declining economic mobility. simple proposition we should ask the wealth toy pay more and invest more in the mid have chal. >> the notion that some people to do better somebody has to

5:16 am
i was in my pajamas feeling terrible. it was a horrible sunday morning. just horrible every where. we could have some icy spots, this morning as well. the it won't be as bad as yesterday but still, you cannot let your guard down because temperatures at or below freezing and a little bit of precipitation in a few spots this morning. the let's zoom in a little bit closer. it looks like in berks county we have some snow showers, snow flurries, possible there. all this is very light, so it is not clear whether all of this is making it to the ground but you might have, a little bit of the glaze, falling in new castle county delaware. there is a little closer look at the berks county situation around reading, some snow showers, possible or some light snow flurries, maybe even as far south as dover, delaware and even into sussex county. the thinks air air coming down from lake erie because of the colder air that is moving in. the it is bringing down some of that moisture. a little bit of lake effect. we don't expect to it last.
5:17 am
we should see he decent sunshine today. only trade off is win gust that will be around, 30 miles an hour at times. so the future cast shows a lot will of sunshine today and clearing skies tonight. temperatures right now, well they are getting a little bit better. 34 degrees in philadelphia we are above freezing there. thirty-two in pottstown 356789 in reading and allentown. look at lancaster only 29 degrees. plenty of spots of black ice there. thirty-five in trenton. we have 34 degrees in millville and 33 degrees in wilmington. a little trick there i as well being so close to freezing. win speeds are around 10 miles an hour in the city, so that will give us a wind chill that is in the 20's this morning. make sure you are bundled up properly because most of our wind chills are in the 20's this morning. now we will get to the seven kay forecast eventually. for your holiday. . with your sun and clouds. that should be a decent day. wednesday looks like another tricky morning because we have precipitation moving in the overnight hours, news to
5:18 am
wednesday. that could start out as snow but with that high of 38 we will expect to change over to rain, perhaps a tiny bit of a repeat of yesterday, but actually complete thely different situation with a clipper system coming through. then mid 30's on thursday and friday, and then back to seasonal temperatures around the weekend. so is there your seven day forecast, it is 18 in minutes after five. would be kelly is on vacation. we will check traffic for you you and there are plenty of tricky spots this morning. first we will check the vine street expressway. it looks like the road is okay. folks probably should be moving around a little bit more slowly this morning. that is approaching i-95 there. now we will go to atlantic city the atlantic city brigantine connection, southbound off the ramp to the ac expressway, we have an accident there. so that ramp is closed. again, plenty of icy spots this morning. cheltenham south john russell circle between williams way and massey way. a building is on fire there avoid the area take cheltenham avenue as your alternate.
5:19 am
make sure to check your bus schedules today because of a few bus routes that were canceled already. route 27 and route 22 route l, as well all suspended a at this time. so before you go outside, lauren, and wait for that bus make sure it is running this morning. >> all right, sue, thank you so much. we will check with penndot to see how they are preparing for the roads for safe driving this morning. >> so charlie metzger is joining us on the phone right now and charlie i heard the salt trucks in my township going through my residential neighborhood. so glad to see that they are being pro active here because we saw the deadly mess yesterday. >> yes, that is correct. we have had crews outside overnight. we have had over a hundred trucks out right now, they are salting, and they are hitting the the problem area. we're get something calls for some icy areas, in bucks county, and in some spots in montgomery county but we have had over a hundred trucks out in the five county region. we ha,e had trucks outside overnight and we will continue.

5:48 am
