IT IS 656. TIME FOR WGAL NEWS 8 TO GO. AND WE BEGIN WITH MARY ELLEN. ALL RIGHT. WE DO HAVE CLEAR SKIES AT THIS HOUR. BREEZE ABOUT 5 TO 15MPH. SO TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, LIKE YORK AT 38 IN LANCASTER AND LOW TEENS WITH THE BREEZE. IT FEELS LIKE IT’S NINE BELOW IN NEW YORK, THREE BELOW IN LEWISTOWN, AND TWO DEGREES BELOW ZERO IN LANCASTER. WIND CHILL AND TEMPERATURES WILL SEE HIGHS UP NEAR 20 THIS AFTERNOON. DRESSING FOR WIND CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. AND EVEN THOUGH WE’RE STARTING OFF WITH CLEAR SKIES, IT WILL BECOME CLOUDY THIS AFTERNOON. THOSE CLOUDS WILL CLEAR OVERNIGHT. WE’RE LOOKING AT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. AND ONCE AGAIN, WE’LL SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES DROPPING DOWN INTO THE SUBZERO READINGS WITH A LOW OF FOUR DEGREES. ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURE. PARTLY SUNNY TOMORROW. SINGLE DIGIT WIND CHILLS AND AGAIN UP NEAR 20 DEGREES. THANK YOU, MARY ELLEN.

HERE’S A LIVE LOOK AT THAT SCENE RIGHT NOW. THIS IS ON GABLE DRIVE. MANY POLICE CARS LINED UP THERE. INVESTIGATORS HAVE NOT RELEASED MUCH INFORMATION, THOUGH. TROOPERS JUST TELL US THAT EMERGENCY RESPONDERS ARE STILL HEADING TO THAT SCENE. THEY DID NOT EVEN SAY IF ANYONE WAS HURT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SITUATION THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW FOR YOU ALL DAY TODAY. I’M MEREDITH JORGENSEN AT THE MCCASKEY HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA, WHERE STUDENTS WILL HAVE ANOTHER FLEXIBLE INSTRUCTION DAY. THE DISTRICT SAYS IT WEIGHS MANY FACTORS WHEN DECIDING WHAT THE STUDENTS SHOULD DO EACH DAY, INCLUDING ROAD AND SIDEWALK CONDITIONS, THE TEMPERATURE AND THE WIND CHILL.

TAKE A LOOK THERE AT WHAT YOU COULD GET STUCK IN IF YOUR COMMUTE TAKES YOU THAT DIRECTION. RIGHT NOW, THIS IS IN NEWBERRY TOWNSHIP. A MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH ON 83 SOUTH. AGAIN, THIS IS JUST NORTH OF EXIT 28. DEFINITELY A SPOT TO AVOID ON YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE 83 SOUTH BRIDGE THOUGH. TRAFFIC GETTING ACROSS IT JUST FINE, AND SUNDAY’S SNOWFALL DID CREATE SOME ISSUES THAT ARE ONGOING, INCLUDING HERE IN LEBANON, WHERE CREWS ARE STILL WORKING TO GET THE SNOW OFF THE STREETS. IN FACT, OVERNIGHT THEY WERE ON THE STREETS THAT YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN. AND TONIGHT THE MAYOR SAYS THEY WILL BE BACK IN THAT SAME AREA. MORE SNOW REMOVAL IS ALSO SET FOR LEBANON TOMORROW AND ON FRIDAY, CHAMBERSBURG BOROUGH REPRESENTATIVES IN FRANKLIN COUNTY WILL BE OUT LOOKING FOR SIDEWALKS THAT ARE NOT SHOVELED. THE BOROUGH SAYS YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE SNOW AND ICE FROM AT LEAST A FOUR FOOT SECTION, AND IF YOU’RE CAUGHT VIOLATING THAT, THE FIRST TICKET WILL BE 50 BUCKS. THE SECOND IS $100, AND IF IT’S NOT PAID, THE BOROUGH SAYS IT WILL FILE CHARGES WITH A DISTRICT JUDGE. ALL RIGHT. WE’RE IN THE DEEP FREEZE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. IN FACT, WE GET CLOSER TO RECORDS, POSSIBLY TYING AND BREAKING THEM HEADING INTO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WE DON’T SEE TEMPERATURES EVEN GETTING TO FREEZING. THAT’S 32 DEGRE
