Outside though, conditions are improving, especially on the parkway here. 31 degrees right now, 36 later on this afternoon. South Jersey got wild with enough snow. Galloway came in with 8 inches of snow last night. But we have Tony Caputo in Ocean County right now, and Tony's on the roads. It looks like the roads are pretty good, Tony, tell us more. Yeah, Mike, we're on Route 9 South in the Barnegut area of Ocean County and you're right, the roads are pretty good. Uh, Thunderbolt telling us right now it is about 35 degrees, so that might be on a little warm side and maybe it's a little closer to the freezing mark, but either way we are getting a little bit of melting when we were in Lacey earlier speaking with the mayor here. On News 12 New Jersey, we could tell that it was obviously it felt good outside and that we're started seeing some melting happening in that area. So that's good for anybody who has to hit the roadway this morning. Let's go to the roof cam here on Thunderbolt 12, get that wiper going as well, and you can see straight down onto the roadway and see it's still a little slick, but you know they did a nice job throwing down a lot of salt here. On county roads like this one, as a matter of fact, in the distance there as I flipped back to the window camera seeing a uh plow doing, uh, one of the businesses there got a lot of antique shops, things of that nature in this bar to get area so always nice to visit and always nice when the roads are nice and clear like this as we pass Doyle's poor house, not open right now, but it certainly will be. Later today because not enough snow to keep anything closed just yet. I'm sure you got your school delays. Be sure to check out NewsTwelve.com, the News 12 app for those delays. We know Lacey had a couple of hour delay this morning as well. So let's head over to News 12 New Jersey's Lauren D. She is in the capital county, Mercer County, this morning outside Thunder Bowl 12. Lauren, what do you got for us? I got a snowman. Look at this. We built this while we were waiting during Mike's weather forecast during your, uh, live hit Tony so we made a little snowman this morning, but I will say the snow, it's, it's not quite like perfect snowball snowman making weather. It's a little difficult. Temperature is about 29 degrees. There you go, yeah, I can see it's not the best, but hey, you could definitely do it this morning. My recommendation if you're trying to build that snowman, you gotta do it on the ground. And then you could kind of do your layers. You can't really crumble a ball in your hands. It'll kind of break apart, but I do want to show you this because that snowman. Well, I thought that was impressive. I think this is a whole lot more impressive. It is what time is it? 6:05 and this homeowner here has their sidewalk entirely shoveled and their driveway entirely shoveled too. So pretty impressive stuff this morning again that's no kind of stopping overnight, so perhaps they woke up early and did it, maybe they have to work overnight. Or we did actually see some contractors going out and plowing people's driveways, so maybe they hired someone to do it, but this is what the road looks like this morning. So this is West Windsor. It is not plowed neighborhood road, so schools here have about a 2 hour delay. No one's awake right now. Maybe they're listening to our report this morning. We could see a couple of lights turning on. This is Sarah Court, so we're right in the middle of a neighborhood. There are a couple of tire tracks, so obviously people are getting about, so you can certainly do so, but this is. Going to be slick, OK, so you could get traction while you're driving. The issue though is when you come to a stop, you don't really want to come to a halt. You kind of want to slow it down a bit, kind of take your foot off the gas, and then slow it down. So you got the snow this morning here again, if you have the snow day, get out and play because this is really good stuff to play and light fluffy snow. Actually, should we do it? Let's do a snow angel in the middle of the road this morning. Here we go. We're having fun in the snow, Lauren to News 12, New Jersey. The snow angel, impressive. Lauren, thank you.
