If anything was about to break last year, just something mechanical and happens, but it tends to happen in the beginning of the season, when we are the busiest. Reporter i asked jamie pompetti whether it matters if you crank up the heater or gradually increase the temperature, if that makes a difference whether your system breaks or not, he says it doesnt matter, just like a light switch, all that matters is if its on or off.

And this is for you gus bucks the new instant game from the Pennsylvania Lottery with top prizes of a hundred grand. Its the best game yet. cause youre on it . Well. Keep on scratchin this is nbc 10 news. The prosecutor in charge of leading the bill cosby investigation was sworn into office today as Montgomery County district. Steele is already working as the First Assistant in the district attorneys office. He says his office decided to do the right thing and seek justice against the comedian. This is the first time cosby has been criminally charged and aggravated indecent assault charge dating back to 2004. And all new at 6 00, its a big week for cosbys legal team. Cosbys wife camille must testify this week in a civil case against her husband, but camille is putting up a fight. Nbc 10 investigator Harry Hairston broke the news of the criminal charges first and is taking a deeper look into whats ahead for cosby and his wife. Right now Camille Cosby is scheduled to testify in a deposition wednesday that could reveal damaging information about her husband. A judge has ordered her to be deposed, but her attorney filed a stay to prevent that from happening. While bill cosby prepares to fight charges here in Montgomery County, his wife of 52 years, camille, will face lawyers for seven women who are suing cosby in federal court unless the judge rules in her favor for a stay. I spoke to the man who will question Camille Cosby. He tells us he expects to get a significant amount of testimony to use against bill cosby. There is an adage that people say that a Perfect Union is the marriage of a blind woman to a deaf man, but she is not blind, and she, im sure, did get to see and hear a lot. If youre deposing Camille Cosby, what are the questions youd go after . Look, im going to want to know everything she knew about all of the women. Im going to go through each and every womans name. Reporter jeff lyndie is a former federal prosecutor and handled similar depositions. I would assume as the plaintiffs lawyer shes going to give testimony that only supports her husband, so im going to want to lock her in to her statements. Reporter lyndie says the strategy is to give mrs. Cosby enough rope to hang herself. And anything we get that contradicts her, i can prove her to be a liar. Reporter adding there is a small upside for cosby. The importance of deposing her for cosbys side will be for her to say either i didnt know anything about this, or i never heard about this, or i knew about these women and they were all friends with bill. In these court records, attorneys for the plaintiff say if Camille Cosby failed to appear for her deposition without a court stay theyll seek to have u. S. Marshals to bring her to the deposition. Im heading to massachusetts to cover the events as they unfold. For the investigators, Harry Hairston, nbc 10. Stay with nbc 10 for continuing coverage of the cosby deposition on wednesday and his first court date next week. Camelback mountain is taking advantage of the cold temperatures. After weeks of delay the resort is getting ready to open, filling out the snow base. The resort is planning to be fully open to the public on thursday. A lot of people have been waiting to put on those ski boots and ski down the hill. I think it will be packed this weekend. I bet so, glenn. Its about time, ill tell you. Not just at camelback, this is shani mountain and they are making snow 24 hours a day, as well. The temperature is probably low enough that you wouldnt want to be going there tonight anyway, but let them make the snow for you. Couple of arctic nights out there tonight and tomorrow night, with wind chills near zero, even in and around the philadelphia area and, of course, up in the poconos its 10 to 15 below zero. We will be warming toward the end of the week, and if youre going up to the north over the weekend its not going to be near as cold as it is now. Flag still blowing hard, wind is still out there, 21 mile an hour sustained wind, temperature down to 24, feels like 9 in philadelphia, even at this hour of the night. 17 in allentown, 19 in pottstown. Current temperatures, 20 degrees in reading, 21 in trenton. 25 degrees in wilmington, 26 in atlantic city, 27 in millville. This is not one of those nights where millville is going to be colder than everybody else, because the wind is going to stay up. They get that with clear skies and calm winds. We have record warmth, entire eastern half of the country during the month of december, just an unbelievable event, jet stream going straight up into canada and everything has reversed. And now the arctic air is in and surging down to the south, but its not going to stay that way, at least not this time. Were going to get another surge next week thats going to last a lot longer and maybe even be more severe. We have wind gusts still over 30 miles an hour in philadelphia, 31, but were seeing fewer places reporting gusts now, a sign that the wind is coming down just a little bit. And the feels like temperature 13 below in mount pocono, 4 in allentown, 5 in reading, 9 degrees in philadelphia, and as we go through the night tonight, continue to make the snow, this is in philadelphia here, temperatures in the teens just throughout the night and doesnt even warm up much by 9 00 a. M. Tomorrow. These are the wind chills, feel like temperatures down to near zero and gets all the way up to 7 by 9 00 a. M. Theres the arctic air that weve been advertising for a couple weeks now. Making its visit and then leaving. Way off the map. By wednesday, so its just seasonably cold and then over the weekend temperatures actually go above normal. But here comes, its coming back. Next week, starting on monday, were going to see some of that colder air, and that may be lasting for a while. So as we go through the night tonight, we see the temperatures go down to 14 in philadelphia, 6 north and west. The wind chills ranging from plus 5 to minus 5, depending where you are. And, of course, weve been so spoiled, bodies not adjusted to this cold, so its going to feel that much colder tomorrow morning when you get out. Sunny and bitter cold tomorrow, high temperatures in the low 30s, but the wind not nearly as much, only 5 to 10 miles an hour. And the seven day forecast, another very cold morning, wednesday morning, 18 degrees in philadelphia, maybe Single Digits in some of the suburbs. Thats one of those cases where millville may be going down way lower than everybody else, but later in the week it starts warming up, and by friday night and over the weekend when its going to be raining, its near 50 degrees. Thanks, hurricane. Im john clark, were going to update you on the eagles coaching search, who they are interviewing, and elton brand is back with the sixers. Well hear why coming up.

The eagles are moving on their head coaching search, interviewing pat shurmur this afternoon, theyll interview the bears coordinator tomorrow. The bears have interest in sean payton. Here are some of the assistants being mentioned, having interest in these candidates. The only defensive coach on the list is teryl austin out of those guys. Here are the eagles cleaning out lockers today. Chip kelly brought in a lot of new , remade the team, it didnt work out, and the players are very disappointed. This season was a failure in our minds, and i think everyones looking forward to next season already. The way we did, loss to atlanta, you know, just a slip and slide the whole rest of the season. It was disappointing, and, you know, i care a lot about this team and city, and i get tired when we lose. I dont like making excuses. You know, i like to win. Lane johnson always honest. Sam bradford is going to be a free agent and says he wants to stay here, but he wants to see who the birds bring in as their head coach. Sam improved as the year went on, setting the eagles record completing 65 of his passes this season, he got more comfortable and vocal with his teammates, and Jordan Matthews says sam has to be the quarterback next year. He was out of football for two years, so i think people are seeing who he is, how great he can be. I cant say enough good things about him. We want sam bradford back here in eagles green, but at the same time, the powers that be are going to have to do what they do. Malcolm jenkins told us in our eagles game day final show last night that the next head coach needs to hold the players accountable, and the players need to be more together. I think we need to spend more time with each other, be more invested in each others lives, be closer as a unit, that way when you face adversity, you know, you dont start to splinter or crack, you get stronger in the hard times. I think theres a lot of things, obviously, it starts with the head coach and the plan is going to come from him and well move on from there. Another coach in the nfc east is leaving, tom coughlin stepped down as giants coach today after 12 seasons and, of course, two super bowls. Espn says chip kelly had his people contact the 49ers about their job, and they just may talk to him. The sixers, look who theyve signed, elton brand, brought him out of retirement to be a mentor and provide leadership to the Youngest Team in the nba. Brown says the new chairman pushed for this to happen. Heres elton. You know, as a player coming back, seems more interesting to me. I know i can kind of effect change and be a part of something, you know, i might not make it to the end when its really, really great around here, but i could be a part of something as a player. Going to be like a coach on the floor. Im john clark, were right back. The republicans in harrisburg were fighting each other over the state budget. Thats right. Each other. The Republican State Senate passed a responsible budget that begins to Fund Education but the Republican House of representatives has insisted on a budget that fails to Fund Education and balloons the deficit. Call your legislator, tell them to pass a budget thats right for pennsylvania. Well, heres the sevenday forecast. Finally some weather below the normal temperature. Tonight down to 14 in philadelphia, Single Digits in the suburbs, and we have wind on top of that, so its going to feel like its near zero when you get up in the morning, but then it will ease up from there. Its finally here. Yeah. For all of us at nbc 10, im jim rosenfield. Im jacqueline london. The news continues now with nbc nightly news. Good night. Bliss.
