West virginia. Our air is really dry on this side of the mountains. Even when it starts to cross the mountains, it will take awhile to move in here so we are not talking about snow during the day. Here we go, Super Bowl Weekend is finally here and we are about 24 hours away from the big game. The excitement is building from baltimore to new orleans. We have Live Team Coverage with Jennifer Franciotti in the big easy. Good morning, the sun is shining here in new orleans and it is shaping up to be an absolutely gorgeous day. Coming out here this morning to the super dome, we started to see the road closures taking place in the city. For folks making their way out here today, they will find a little bit of trouble getting around. Plan for that when you come out but you are right, but harbaugh brothers sat down yesterday for interview, the first interview together since they learned their trip to the super bowl. These brothers have very different personalities. Brothers, yes, identical . Close. Whats the mannerisms before their Historic Press conference. John is smiling and relaxed and jim was in his coaching entire chewing else and then the fun began it will be a normal friday practice and we will move on from there. Its your turn. I concur. You hire your brother . Definitely, and i would work for him. I concur. Any philosophical commonalities . I would be hard pressed to spell philosophical right now. We could not spell commonality. Sunday night, one brother will suffer a painful loss and there will be no hard feelings from the winner or loser. On sunday, the possibility to take away a dream of his and fulfill your own, is that hard . No, not at all. I suspect he filled the semi. The band of brothers will be on the sideline. The patriarch, jack, has earned credit from molding his boys in the world class coaches and dont forget about their mom. Can you cite one or two things you have learned from your mother that you apply in your coaching careers . [laughter] made it very clear that we were to have each others back no matter what. Its really nice that we have the coach with a friendly personality, you might say beninese seems more comfortable. What do you look forward to doing today . We are going to be interviewing mayor Stephanie Rawlings blake who will make her way over to us. She is in town and she is going to gretna, louisiana where there were hit hard by katrina. The city of baltimore has a lot of volunteers there and today, they are holding a ravens rally. This is a tshirt that made its way to was last night. This is Brigance Brigade teacher in honor of the oj Als Foundation that he is working with to help families going through this tough situation. These are brand new super bowl shirts. They are going to be available at 17 locations and Different Stores in the area. You want to make sure you get quality stuff and illegal merchandise. Lowel melzer estimated that situation. It takes a lot to accommodate your guest of what happens when you have posted 200,000 at the same time . That is what they are expected in new orleans this weekend for the super bowl. It takes approximately 36,000 man hours and over 25 days and nearly 150 people to put up all those super bowl decorations around the city and it will take about 300 people to tear them down. This beautiful super bowl 47 display in the park required nine semi trucks to get here and weighs almost 220,000 pounds. As far as getting around, more than 5000 buses, limos, and cars will be transporting team, staff, and ticketholders all over town to places towndragos. We will probably serve a 3000 people saturday between lunch and dinner. This owner says he expects to serve more than 30,000 of his famous grilled oysters over the weekend which means more than 1000 sacks of oysters and 15 people just for shucking. This is a Louisiana Oyster and you put butter, garlic, parsley, and cheese. This is unbelievable. At the famous cafe dumas, they will not run out of benets. They have ordered more than 2,000 tons of sugar. Then there is the concessions at the stadium which are completely different. According to superdome officials, they are expecting to sell 15,000 units of machos, 20,000 hot dogs, 30,000 sodas, 30,000 bottled waters, 50,000 bottled beers, and 40,000 draft beers. That is a lot of information. Its pretty exciting. Ravens fans in new orleans outnumber San Francisco fans at least nineone. They are all over the place and eating and drinking their way all over the big easy. Thank you. Baltimore city police are getting ready for super bowl fans and will keep the city said sunday. We continue our team coverage. You only have to look at the crowds packing the streets after the reagans one the afc championship game to prove that baltimore fans know how to celebrate in huge numbers. For super bowl sunday, police said they have a detailed crowd control plan place including road closures, traffic redirection, and an increase deployment of uniformed and plainclothes officers. You will see the mounted patrol, you will see a lot of officers being very visible, special equipment will be out. Across the city, we will have a significant number of police working. Business owners at popular bars and restaurants are getting ready for big crowds. Tickets were sold for sunday to avoid overcrowding. This kind of limits the crowd and makes sure it is a fun crowd and safe as well. Kevin cartwright from the Fire Department cited the knight club fire as an example of how dangerous an overcrowded establishment can be. Many of the victims were trampled when they tried to escape. When you come to these establishments over these over this weekend and it appears they are overcrowded, we want you to leave that establishment and called 91. He warns patrons to take note of exits and once businesses that inspectors will be out checking for violations. They will be watched. They know what the capacity is for their establishments. It all goes back to that they can certainly reap the benefits from masses of people coming out but we want everybody to enjoy themselves safely back o. If you plan on driving around the city sunday, get ready for big crowds and road closures. There will be parking restrictions depending on the area. We have a list of the closures on our website, wbaltv. Com. But time is 9 09 and 20 degrees and still ahead, we have your pert questions.

Our chickens are not fed steroids or hormones. [ jim ] we raise our chickens cagefree. Were trying to make a better chicken. That i put on my childrens plate. Thats why we use allwhite meat, breading that is whole grain with omega3 and no preservatives. It is my goal to make the highest quality, besttasting nugget on the market. I want consumers to go, dang, thats a good nugget. This morning, we have had a lot of sun and a few clouds. It made for a pretty sun rise and there are more clouds to the west so some will be a dominant feature today. It will be a little cold but out to the west, we see the snow in a system that is coming in. It is a clipper that comes out of central canada which is not what would not much snow. The mountains might get to3 inches but i dont think well get that much. This will be paid like the one yesterday. There is a little bit of cloudiness this morning with a lot of sun coming through and 21 at the airport and 25 at the inner harbor. The barometer is falling in the southwest wind and the southwest breeze is 57 Miles Per Hour. Ridiculous warm temperatures last week and we are on the way down now. That storm we had yesterday morning was the final nail in the coffin, said to speak, that allowed the cold air to come in and the northwest winds were brutal. We will stay below the average. Which is 47. There is a slight warm up for next week. 22 in annapolis and 27 in cambridge. 19 in frederick and still in the Single Digits out in oakton this morning. The snow makers are out to the west and are connected with this little clipper system that is tracked out of canada. There is another one coming into montana and the dakotas and another one coming off the Pacific Ocean in British Columbia so we will see a series of these come across the area over the next week. 2732 will be the height to do with increasing clouds and light snow late in most of it will fall overnight. This engage says 1 inch or less of snow in our area and most of it will be to the north. This gauge. Mostly overnight tonight into sunday morning and tuesday night into wednesday morning, we could see snow chances. Otherwise, highs in the 30s with morning lows in the 20s and warm up at the end of the week. More simple girl coverage more super bowl coverage is coming up next.

It is beautiful out. You want to get out and buy a few things in new orleans. Lowell meltzer checked out the sports merchandise. With record crowds expected in new orleans for suoer bowl xlvii, federal Officials Say scam artists will be out in full force and nothing is off limits. Personal favorite is this counterfeit super bowl ring from super bowl 44 was in miami and this has new orleans as the winning team and someone has gone out and gone as far as to counterfeit to the ring. Fake jerseys, baseball caps, jerseys and jackets are the most popular counterfeit items especially on the internet. Customs officials showed us these two ravens web sites and the one on the right is real and the one left his fake. There is nothing baltimore and there is nothing ribbons about it. We spoke to ribbons fans at the official pro shop to see if they were aware . Are you concerned being down here that you would get something fake . Not buying it in there but if i bought it on the street, yes, i would be concerned that another popular item that is faith is a ticket to the game and usually there is nothing a fan can do if they are turned away from the gate. There are horribly sad stories from folks who bring their whole families down and they get scammed and these are cash exchanges and is no place they can go to make a return or file a complaint until after the scam artists out of town. We spoke with fans. They have the ticket in hand so they knew they had in hand and we were picking it up down here. Both government and nfl Officials Say to do your research. Be careful out there. If it is too good to be true, it probably is. Back here in baltimore, it was the ultimate purple friday. Your not quite done. We are so excited. Howre you doing . Gosh, i am doing so great writ i wish i could have seen the purple rally friday and i knew it was fantastic.

Formal ravens great from the 2008 Super Bowl Team is here signing autographs. Talk about a team that has gotten something going and as a part of a passion to fight through anything the ravens are a perfect example. That is a big day. From every nook and cranny. The time is 9 37 and it is 20 degrees and the super bowl is a great excuse to throw a party. With a party comes a menu and later, we will give you some super recipes. Supercold weather. We had several disturbances from ohio back into canada that are lined up waiting to there is no shadow to see. And early spring for you and me. You heard it, the great prognosticator says we will have an early spring. Punxsutawney phil is the worlds freest forecaster and was awoke in this morning. The famous groundhog spoke to his handlers. Thousands were watching at gobblers knob and he saw no shot also there is an early spring. In want to keep their winter coats handy. Phil is only right 39 of the time. Now your forecast. Winter has only really begun to make itself felt in the past few days, really. One of the shots of winter is coming now from ohio moving into pennsylvania. We are starting to tease to see some snow moved into the area. The air is dry on this side of the mountain so when the air across the mountains late this morning and this afternoon, the snow will evaporate and these little clippers coming out of canada do not carry a lot of moisture anyway. When it comes through, it will be a light snow producer in most of it will be overnight tonight. Lets look outside, there is the view of the inner harbor and some scattered clouds overhead, 21 at the airport and the inner harbor is 25 and the humidity is only 42 . When the storm comes in, it has to get everything wet before it starts to snow and that will take a while. The southwest wind is at 5 Miles Per Hour which is not helping to warm things up. Were into a strong flow out of canada of air that is holding the temperatures down. In the south, the readings are in the 20s. To the west, is the it is in the teens. Here is a little band of clouds that are not snow makers to our western drifting across the area. The real snowmaking stuff is still in the mountains westward. Here is that in polls moving into northern illinois. These clippers come out of canada and they come out of cold air and lose a lot of their moisture moving across this land. They are starved and theres no way to collect moisture. A new one is just coming into the dakotas and montana and another one coming off the pacific out of British Columbia. They are lined up and waiting to invade the area. 36 below at international falls. It is not that cold here but the calls were getting is coming out of that area so it will stay called for a while. We will struggle to make it to freezing today, increasing clouds, light snow blade that should be overnight. There might be 1 inch or so and southwest winds are 612 Miles Per Hour. Our computer is saying maybe a little bit more in frederick and out was but 1 inch or less around here. In the new orleans area, it looks like it will be nice. Partly cloudy skies for the weekend, high temperatures in the mid60s, loews and the 40s and it does not make a difference at the stadium because it is under cover. 30 our forecast today, 35 tomorrow, light snow late tonight and sunday morning, maybe a flurry in the afternoon. Tuesday and wednesday, a light snow maker coming through. If you dont have a cold or the flu, you might know someone who does. We tried to avoid getting sick so how you keep your immune system at its best . The doctor joins us now to explain. Give us some good tips. Basically, you have to keep yourself healthy in general. You have to wash your hands all the time. You have to eat healthy and state well hydrated and break and drink plenty of water. Fruits and vegetables and lean meat helps. That way your body is ready and plenty of sleep. There is immunization as well the flu vaccine is very important. People have to remember that they get other immunizations because the human body respond better to immunizations at a younger age. As we get older, it is harder to be more in tune. More immune. Get plenty of rest and eat plenty of vegetables and exercise. Very important. So much. If you have any other questions, call 1800md mercy. Heres a look at last night winning lottery numbers.

Like the rest of us, they posted the video and youtube. If youre watching the big game at home, you are shopping, there is quite a spread here. Nice to see you. Ive been cooking my whole life, since a detained. Since im getting older, you have to do things differently. I have a healthy quesadilla and it is pretty simple. Is that cold rain . Of this is natures promise from a giant. It is a whole wheat tortillas . Then you get some fresh salsa and mixed in with the cheddar cheese. It is southwest salsa. All the flavors are in the salsa and you put it right on the quesadilla and van the cheese is mixed in with the chicken curry and then you toast it. It takes about three minutes on each side. Another way you can do it is in the oven which takes 10 minutes. That will give you 10 minutes prep time and 10 minutes in the oven. I can do that. There is also healthy cile, no oil. This is a really good recipe. Let it simmer and it will take you 3540 minutes. That looks good, to. Another recipe i gave you is a citrus grilled shrimp. What are you marinating them in . The recipe is on the website. Chili sauce, honey and a girl about 3 minutes on each side. Here is the chili. Giant is the officials supermarket of the Baltimore Ravens. When you go into giant, you can see that for sure. You can also get ingredients for gumbo. What is the key to making that to . My husband thinks he can whip it up. The key to a good gumbo is to start off with a good stock like chicken or crap, dont burn it. Lisa tries to show me how to make it. You are going the wrong way. What else do have . This is made exclusively for giant. Our bakery has an array of things like a ravens take. Is this chocolate mousse . It is not healthy but i like this recipe which is on your website. It does not have a lot of sugar. It is an easy recipe. I will be scared of all that. It looks terrific. I love the bread bowls. Just get some particle . Yes, we have quite a collection of brads. Thank you so much. Stay with us because we have another look at the weekend forecast when we come back. From local artists to art galleries, mindy basara will explore this citys rich cultural com i am Jennifer Franciotti live at the superdome in the big easy. If you like art, new orleans is the place to be from local artists on the streets to the different galleries, there is much to explore. Our very own mindy basara did just that. Jackson square is a feast for the senses, the sounds, colors, and textures pull you in and taken to another place. The art is wonderful and it is fun and you need to the city. Come down and you get to meet the artists and see them working. It is fabulous. Behind each of these artists is a story. For painter rick fox it is a story of rebirth. He makes things beautiful from a tattered debris left over from the hurricane. This has a branch that i found on the backs of the mississippi river. This is a child desktop and you are looking at tar from a house. There are many items that i find that are really tattered and i even do reconstruction to save the item. Going through storms and the hardships, is similar to our lives. We have to keep it together no matter what the damage is. That positive to provide counsel all live here comes alive here in orleans and it stays with you about it seems like a celebration of life here. They are always upbeat and never gloomy in orleans. Jackson square is a feast for the census. It is from everything you smell and hear and see, it is a wonderful place to go. Later today, we will go to gret na across the river which is a city that had a terrible time during katrina and Baltimore City sent First Responders there and we will meet up with the mayor and the governor may be there. They are preparing for a ravens rally in gretna, louisiana. Give us the forecast for the big day. I want some of that music in the background. It does not match the forecast. Tonight we have a chance of light snow and that chance would extend into sunday as well but when we talk about light, were talking about little or no accumulation. There may be 1 inch or so. High temperatures the next couple of days only around freezing if we make of that for today. Monday will be drier we have the threat of monday and tuesday and wednesday of one of these fairly dry systems of light snow flurries or snow showers. We are in the 30s in the middle of the week but at the end of the week, things may dry out a little bit with more son and a southerly breeze to bring the temperature is up to about 4345 which is normal for this time of year. In new orleans, daytime temperatures are in the 60s but the game is undercover so does not make any difference but it is nice weather down there. They have had a strange way. It has been on the cool side. When it gets cold, it is cool their. Thank you. Everybody have a great day and we will see you tomorrow morning
