well it is snowing but just not as much as it could have been. this was a for the philadelphia area an under performing storm but if you get to the north and east, go up to boston getting hammered. it is a a three out of ten because it will still be difficult to travel around. we still have the blizzard warning and places we had it yesterday, we were never, ever around a blizzard warning in philadelphia i want to make that clear. but new york, connecticut, boston, port land, maine still under that blizzard warning because of the high wind, along with this snow. and then more snowfall all the way down through ocean county. philadelphia under winter weather advisory, so is bucks county a and montgomery county. burlington county and camden counties in new jersey still expect several more inches of accumulation in addition to the unimpressive totals on the ground right now. that is what is going on with that. you see the the snow spreading in the area, center of the storm around cape cod

but we do of snow but just not as heavy, it is in the falling heavily right the now. 25 degrees. a lot colder then yesterday. it feels like 12 outside. keep that in mind. the visibility is in the great as you can see there. 7:14 is our sunrise time. 2 miles visibility at the the airport. same in pottstown. with the snow falling right now we will continue to see reduced visibility and these are our cold temperatures in the 20's this morning but wind chills are in the teens. today, high of around 30 degrees, if we get there if we get enough sunshine in the afternoon after the snow cuts off and that should be by noon today at the very latest. seventeen overnight with clear skies. it will be a cold one. that takes cire of your tuesday, we will in the course of the hour offering an explanation about what happen why we didn't get a whole lot of snow that is coming up with your seven day forecast so we can look ahead to the

see, some snow accumulation. it is starting to stick here. i saw this is about an inch of snow or so. we do see crews out here, they are plowing, the shopping center. we are seeing the plow trucks pass us by. other than that, atlantic it the i is pretty quiet. we know schools are closed to day as snow continues to fall. we heard sue serio say we are in for at least a couple of more inches of snow down this way. the waves are pretty high at the shore. national weather service is saying that the heart of the storm that has moved this way up to new england is 90 miles off shore, so that is a sense of how this storm system really shifted, and late last

night, and early this morning. chris and alex. >> since we went on the air at 3:00 this morning it looks like the conditions have become worse for you now that it is after 5:00a m. >> reporter: you know, yeah seeing that the snow is really starting to stick it seems like the consistency of the snowfall has change, earlier this morning it was more of that snow, wintry mix, rain, and now it seems a little bit more like snow and snow flakes are getting a little bit larger and little bit larger. i'll be interested to see what further develops. we are just keeping an eye on the storm for now we do see some traffic moving our way. i will get out of the street. we are live along missouri avenue here, chris and alex. >> other part of new jersey,. >> for that part of the story let go to fox 29's steve keeley live in mercer county.

hi steve. >> we're in trenton we decided to get out of the car in the say lalor plaza where they showed us opened dunkin' donuts. they are living by their word opened 24 hours. but look at route 129, again very busy. we are saying private vehicles. it is non-stop busy. these are river line track that is they are crediting and river line shut down with the rest of new jersey transit because we thought they would be a lot worse conditions out here at this time of the day even if it may get worse later on but that is why you see, no new jersey transit, buses. but here's a guy walking up the street, going every which way. we had private plows in the parking lot but here, we have what looks like a city plow. they will were going to wait until 4 inches. you can see plow train along the river line here we will see more private vehicles and boy plow trucks were bored when we saw them all meeting at trenton then are minor

league ballpark about a hour ago waiting for something to plow. maybe they figure instead of sitting there in neutral ape park lets getting and make sure these vehicles can move. we see about a half dozen of them. you can hear plows scraping on the ground because there is no snow to plow. they leave this much on the street. at this intersection here at 29 you see a lot of vehicle traffic and right now up on the flags above dunkin' donuts you can see win is starting to blow and gust and that is why you will see a lot of snow on rooftops half inch or inch that fell will blow on to have of you. a a lot of the snow will be blowing off rooftops every where because it is getting very windy a and those flags in the too far off the ground on the first floor rooftop. is there more powder on the doughnuts then there is out on the street but it the is starting to pick up and conditions starting to worsen. if you get out like all these people are, we are seeing plenty of taxi cabs lick this

guy here. a a lot of people are up and out in trenton despite the work force staying put and the plow guys finally getting to do something after sitting there and waiting and in the staging a area waiting for order. here you go, it looks like there is traffic. i would have been surprised to see this much traffic around trenton knowing there was a travel ban in effect but we are near a state prison and there are a lot of essential workers here in trenton as well. perhaps that is where we are seeing private vehicles because i do see among people topping for coffee some of the great prison guard that have a tough job to do. that prison coffee in where near the tasty coffee that they have at dunkin' donuts. >> clearly not you showed that flag there up above. sue just eye bald that. she thinks it is 30 or 40 miles an hour gust but she's checking to find out how strong the wind are for you in trenton. >> reporter: sue and i experienced blizzard conditions working on the great lakes. you can have a blizzard

without even having any snow falling. all you need to key to blizzard are wind and that is where you get wind chill factor in your face and dangerous conditions because you cannot see with wind blowing in your faces specially if you are driving. that is where we get the word white out and all that stuff from. right now more in south jersey we have had a buzzer warning but in blizzard warning to my knowledge at this point. >> sue just check and she said 25 to 30 miles an hour wind is what we are dealing with their. check back in with you steve. coming up we are keeping an eye on this storm as it moves throughout the area and northeast, with boston really getting the the heavier part of it. we will take another lot at the forecast when we

5:15. it is quiet at the the airport. everything is just still. >> i know jack johnson, who sings this song is not in philadelphia he is probably in his native hawaii, wouldn't you think. >> i don't know i'm not his appointment secretary. >> wow, look at that little sas. >> i'm in a bad mood because of this storm. >> sue, just take it away. >> let me show you ultimate doppler radar, right now.

we have the center of the storm off the new jersey coast and throwing back a a lot of moisture there. there is another area of energy a trough, that has robbed us a a lot of the a lot snowfall we could have got prep this storm. having said that it the is snowing but the places really getting hammered cape cod boston massachusetts, rhode island eastern connecticut. they are seeing snow fall at the the rate of one to 2 inches per hour. snowing heavily there. snowing in philadelphia, upper darby, haverford media but lighter snow. every once in a while we will see a brighter white that will show maybe a snow burst, maybe around buckingham little heavier but we are seeing more accumulation and that will continue for the next couple of hours including down here in cumberland county around millville, maybe a little more accumulation happening right now. there is the low pressure system right off the jersey coast. it is exit strategy of the storm. as it continues to move north east it throws back more

precipitation throughout the rest of the morning. not as much as we anticipated but still pretty slippery out there and it could be tricky travel. so until about ten or 11c we expect this to continue. storm is out by this afternoon. we can anticipate the next one. big thing a after this is how cold it will get, we will see temperatures really dropping tonight. still the blizzard warning in new york. we have winter storm warning that extend to the the west of there in ocean county and in philadelphia a it is winter weather advisory for couple more inches of snow. we could have two to four when all is said and done and increasing amounts west ward but just didn't pan out with the moisture. we will have more tea tailed plane nation with caitlin roth later on in this hour. cold temperatures out there right now. everybody is in the 20's and wind are making it feel colder. we have 16 miles an hour. there is a 25 miles april hour win gust in trenton where steve keeley is.

23 miles an hour in the philadelphia we put that together in the seven day forecast. snow this morning. windy all day. even after the snow end. wind stay with us. whatever you get will be blowing around. you snow what that means bob kelly, that means you can get out, shovel the snow, half an hour later and snow is all over your sidewalk again. >> good exercise for you good morning, sue. 5:18. where ever you go you need a big old jelly doughnut. this is blue windshield washer fluid. i used a gallon of it this morning on the way in because road are wet. you have all that rock salt and brine being kick up every where this morning. lets go for a tour here with our 300 jam cams. good morning, to camden, new jersey. this is live look at admiral wilson boulevard heading in to the ben franklin there is bennie in the background there. travel ban still in effect in south jersey only emergency vehicles permitted outside on the roadway, here in south

like this they are still covered with snow. it is interesting you mentioned travel ban because despite the fact that it is three and four and 5:00 in the morning we have seen plenty of cars on the road. not just snowplows ande in mergecy vehicles, we have seen, cars with people they look like they are going to work. the as you can see the car coming this way. i don't know if you can see it in the distance. the good news is many of the people are traveling slowly. they under tan that these road are as they say still covered in a thick amount of snow but one thing they have not seen on these major roads is a snowplow. i think they are making sure that all of the road main road the highways, if you were trying to get your child today care because you have to go to work because it is not as snowy as some people anticipated, if you didn't have a four-wheel drive vehicle you might have some

difficultity. i caution people to look out the window and say here it is pretty clear. even when you get to these middle sized road you will still have some trouble, guys. >> it is a reminder is there a statewide travel ban out there. >> yes good don't go out unless you have to but good for people who are out, are driving slowly so we thank jen for that report. we will keep an eye on the conditions all over our area now we will look live in olde city, there is some snow coming down walking in the the station i had to do the little shuffle so i wouldn't slip. we will take another look at the the forecast

now it the is acknowledge straighting because of the way it is playing out. snow showers are continuing right now, through the rest of the morning, for most of us, and, by noon at the latest the the snow should be ending. it should taper west to east as the main storm, which is off the jersey coast continues to move towards the the northeast, and much lower snow totals then originally anticipated, but windy, all day, even after the snow end so that will blow whatever we get around a lot and next storm to anticipate is a clip are system for thursday. late in the day. just saying. but it is only tuesday and we do expect some sunshine before the day is through and a high temperature of around 30 degrees. it is a lot colder right now then it was yesterday a at this time. is our low tonight and skies will be clearing. it will allow for radiational cooling and we will have another cold and breezy day tomorrow. so is there your tuesday forecast. we will get things get together. we will give you an

explanation of what happened with this storm bob kelly we have snow on the ground right now on our roadways. this morning 5:32, good morning everybody. hey bobby, can they put schools back on. all of the parents, in favor of that. i. good morning, everybody. i got 300 jam cams in my bag here and i will show you what is going on. with the temperatures below freezing you can see fine glaze of black ice. that is where we can get in trouble this morning. the lets look live at the new jersey side of the lincoln tunnel just to give you an idea where they are getting hit with the snow again, with the travel ban in effect in new jersey only emergency personnel, are permitted outside, on the roadway thinks

the new jersey turnpike near newark international airport. we had a plow train going through but closer to home here the the schuylkill expressway wet, opened for business, no problems, at all a near conshohocken. i-95, just watch maybe that right lane could be snow covered here on i-95 working your way in toward downtown. if you must head out today and don't want to drive i will suggest, pick one, anyone, market frankford or broad street subway two big work horses. they have been running all night long with no problems at all. otherwise regional rails are running on a at day schedule. no service on the cynwyd line. all of the september bus routes some on the detour, in through manayunk roxborough, go to septa.org and click on the system status, we will see the exact detour. services suspended on amtrak between new york and boston. however, reduced services between new york and washington and of course, new jersey transit, services suspended, statewide at least for now.

chris and alex, back over to you. i know a lot of people are upset we didn't get as much as we expect but we should be grateful. this could have caused a serious situation in our areas like atlantic city. >> so officials there in atlantic city are getting prepared. we understand that the mayor don guardian might say something later today an update. >> we heard he would be on the rode around 4:00 this morning. now we are hearing in the 6:00 o'clock hour we will meet up with him to gain, what has gone on so far and what their plan is moving for. there is a little bit more than an inch of snowfall in this section of atlantic city right now. we have not seen plow trucks coming through. they might be waiting for additional accumulation. we know 26 trucks have been roaming atlantic city making sure that the ground has been salted. that car just did some slipping and sliding. people, you know, we don't want to mislead you and seem that the storm is not as large

as initially predict but clearly the road are slick. if you are going out there you never necessity when you will hit a slick spots so definitely take it, slow out there. atlantic city schools are closed. we nose a number of school closings have been coming in and delayed opening. i think a lot have of people are trying to gauge what will happen in the next few hours. so like i said atlantic city was absolutely prepared for the worst in this situation and so far they have been coming out on top. mayor says yesterday, he did not want to shut down his casinos. he said obviously they have things going on. they have people staying at these hotels. they have various conventions happening right now. over last several months we know atlantic city has been hurting economically so this is absolutely a good situation. clearly the wind are an issue and snow is still coming down but this could have been a lot worse, alex and chris. >> the casinos are still

opened then. >> reporter: they are absolutely still open. >> you want to see some cars traveling behind you. staying safe. >> thanks, jenny. >> they need the business after what they went through into 2014. >> here's another live look at the radar. we will have your complete forecast coming up and we want to you send us pictures use hash tag fox 29 snow day what are you doing? how will you spend today. >> i will

time. >> they are saying worst is supposed to come this afternoon and in the evening. they have a lot more to go. we will keep checking back with boston. we will be right back.

it is snowing. it is just that the totals in philadelphia are in the what they could have been but as lou on ultimate doppler radar, they are getting ham nerd new england, boston road island we have report from plymouth

massachusetts, already 15 inches on the ground and much more happening right now. snow is falling there in parts of the connecticut as well, already a foot the on the ground at a rate of 2 inches an hour in some cases. so here in philadelphia snow is falling and we are going to get additional accumulation it just won't be as high as originally anticipated when we gave you worst case scenario. happily worst case scenario did not happen but we are seeing snow in philadelphia in trenton where steve keeley is this morning and, at the jersey shore. where jenny joyce is this morning. down in cape may it is snowing. temperatures have gotten colder so it the is only snow. low pressure system right now is centered right off the new jersey coast and it is deepening as it moved toward the north east. snow is expected to continue through the next couple of hours but just not heavy snow for us. it will be a bull's eye of the storm which is, new england but new york is still under a blizzard warning and we will

show you. that it is all out of here by noon for most of us but by 3:00 at very latest with the exit of that storm. so watches and warnings blizzard warning has been lifted for new york city as the the bull's eye of the storm does appear to be new england and blizzard warning does continue for eastern half of the long island philadelphia, still under a winter weather advisory and in between that and blizzard warning. we told you yesterday about that sharp cut off in accumulation. predictions for higher snowfall totals do continue through ocean county, new jersey. we have reduced our predictions of expect snow fall but we still could get two to 4 inches in the philadelphia area thanks to the folks who let us know their kid are going in late to school, some schools only have delayed opening abington was one and thanks to our twitter friend for that. temperatures continue to be in the 20's but thanks to the win it feels colder then that. 14 miles an hour sustained wind in philadelphia but we are seeing gusts up to

24 miles an hour. at the shore an 18-mile an hour gust in wildwood. here's the seven day forecast from the weather authority 30 degrees today. thirty-four tomorrow. we have sunshine. we may see sunshine before the day is through, today, next clipper system he is expect to move in late in the day on thursday. should president be a powerful storm. more on that coming up when we're finished with this one and another chance in the morning on monday, maybe sunday nate -- night into monday. we are hearing from a lot of you because it looks outside lot different then we said it could be. here to give us a bit of the explanation about what happened outside is caitlin roth. so let's tell folks as best we can what went on with this storm. >> exactly, sue. we were living on the edge with this storm to begin with and we always thought it would make it to philadelphia and by it we are talking about heavy snow in north jersey new york
