Today, we are waking up to cloudy and cold conditions on this sunday morning. Here is a live look at the pocono mountains where temperatures are below freezing. Its cold enough there to make some snow. We are tracking a system that could bring snow, sleet, or rain to your neighborhood. The iconic pnb letters in philadelphia will be taken down again today. Theyre going to give it another go. Take two. Crews will be working there in just a short while. Well have more on that in just a moment. Good morning. This is nbc 10 news today. Im rosemary conners. Its just about 6 00 on this sunday morning. Lets get right to matt delucia, whos live for us in center city on that take two attempt at those pnb letters. Matt . Reporter yeah, rosemary. Pretty much deja vu out here. And the same roads that were closed that day back in august, theyre going to be closed again today. Ill give you a live look out here. Were at 15th and jfk. The roads are expected to be closed around the city hall area at about 6 00, so just a few minutes from now. We see some Police Activity nearby, getting ready for those closures. They wont reopen these roads until about 4 00. Thats the estimate, at least. And police are set to begin shutting off this area for one big reason, and that is safety. Well show you what it looked like the last time this was attempted. Workers atop the building on South Broad Street attached the pnb letters, then a special helicopter was brought in to hoist them up and bring them right down to the ground in front of city hall. The problem is, what was supposed to take just a couple of hours ended up taking several, and only three of the 12 letters that would be on one side of that building, the south side, those are the only ones that came down. The rest have stayed up there until new permits and planning fell into place for this second attempt. Now, a little history here. Pnb stands for Philadelphia National bank. The letters were put up there in the 1950s, but that company is long gone and now wells fargo has ownership of that sign and is taking it down because they feel the aging 3,000pound letters are a safety issue, and the fragility of the letters is what brought the dismantling process to a halt the first time around. So lets go ahead and show you the road closures. Police will be drengti idirecti around the area. Full closures affecting portions of 15th street, both sides of broad street, market, and jfk will also be impacted, again, until roughly 4 00 p. M. Today. Well take another live look out here. You see all the trucks that have moved in within the past 30 to 45 minutes. A lot of work is also going on high atop the building, but right now were down on the ground. It is a chilly morning down here. A very different scene than it was back in august when it was very warm and a lot of people were out here watching those letters come off the building. Today is a lot colder. If you are coming out here to watch this spectacle, you might want to bring a jacket. Just to keep you apprised of whats going on out here, we do see a lot of that Police Activity out here right now. The roads are not just going to be closed to vehicles. It will also be pedestrians.

Thank you, matt. Across the philadelphia region and in most of the country, black friday will start on thanksgiving day. But in some states, shoppers will have to wait. Blue laws in massachusetts, maine, and rhode island ban retailers from opening on thanksgiving. The laws date back to colonial days when people were urged to go to church on sundays and holidays. So, many stores in those three New England States will open at midnight on black friday. If you comparison shop, you may find that black friday prices are not really a deal at all. A shopping website found that many advertised holiday prices are close to what theyve been for most of the fall. An example, the black friday price for a northface jacket at sports authority, 99. Its the same as it was earlier this month. The website says retailers are banking on shoppers not having the time to track prices week to week. Those retailers have a lot riding on the shopping season.

This lets you register your kids device, in this case an iphone, and then lets you monitor what Text Messages theyre sending and receiving, what phone calls theyre sending and receiving, and even lets you monitor things like facebook and instagram.
