county, they are experiencing the most outages of any county in our viewing area. there's good reason why the red cross is here, really offering people a warm, safe place to stay. look at some video we got in the overnight hours. this is a look at what people are dealing with in the aftermath of the storm in bucks county. the power went out to thousands not far from where we are in newtown. we found some families shopping at their local grocery store with very little light. some stocked up on firewood so they could stay warm in the hours and days to come when they don't have power. other homes are relying on generator power to help get through the dark, cold spell. even hospitals and fire departments have only generators to keep them going. back out here live, we did speak with the organizer here inside of the red cross shelter. he told us what people can expect and how many people they're expecting and when that's going to happen later this morning. coming up in the next half hour, we'll take you inside and show you all of the resources they

have to help people get through this dark, cold aftermath of the storm. reporting live in bucks, katy zachry. >> thank you. we continue team coverage with nbc10's matt delucia tracking road conditions in storm force 10. when we last checked in, you were in roxboro. tell us where you are now. >> reporter: right now we're in delaware county checking out hard-hit spots. the spots had icy hills that you see in manayunk and roxboro. now you're looking at route 291 near the platt bridge near the airport where it would pick up with i-95. this area doesn't look too bad. you've got the major roads really wet at the moment, but you have to watch for black ice. in manayunk, there were spots where you did see the black ice. you just have to be careful any spot that looks shiny in the light, the spots that aren't well lit, be careful because you might not see it at all.

advice from aaa. cars did not clear the snow completely off of their vehicles. of course, that can create a hazards if there's ice chunks flying to the cars behind you. also just add extra time to where you need to go. some of that stuff did ice over throughout the night. might be a little bit harder to shovel this morning. and if you see the plow trucks on the roadways, keep your distance. try to stay at least six car lengths behind the snowplows, salt trucks, and road crews. right now we're on the platt bridge toward delaware county. another car with snow still on the roof. please take care of your fellow motorists and clear vehicles before you head out. for now, live in storm force 10, matt delucia, nbc10 news. >> good advice. thanks. today it's about the cleanup after yesterday's storm left a thick layer of heavy, wet snow
