We are in the normandy landings gallery, the day at normandy, a very special gallery for us here because our museum was originally founded back in the 1990s as the National Dday museum. By congressional charter, we were charged with telling the story of the entire American Experience in world war ii. Why it was fun, how it was one and what it means today. So in this gallery, we get to big moments where the United States and their allies had to win this particular day. Dday, june six 1944. Behind me is our film, narrated by tom brokaw which gives our visitors the overarching story of dday at normandy but next to me, over here on the left is very special exhibit this is an exhibit case and is dedicated to ernie pyle, who actually watched the beaches at normandy where the American Forces landed. He saw all of the traces of war left over by troops who had been killed coming to shore at the beach. What we have in this case is actual artifacts and sand from utah and omaha beaches. Ernie pyle

As the train approached, Police Partners responded to the call. Along with the Police Department. And we detained we were on the platform and determined that there was a victim on the train that was bleeding and possibly the victim of a stabbing. Our partners at the Police Department along with officers had a good description of the suspect.

Slick. So keep that in the back of your head. Keep an eye on the car thermometer. But it is coal everywhere, tis the season, obviously had some snow over the weekend, very liesly more on the way no less so we take you out there. At the moment, few flurries still flying. Currently, it is primarily confined to parts of new jersey. Most of us are, in fact, clearing out though, as gee into the north and west most suburbs, but, this is a little batch of very light snow showers working it way through since the last few hours. Not really adding to any additional accumulation, but enough that you would notice it for sure. Potentially even in the last few hours leading to minor visibility problems. Those should continue to get better. Meanwhile, we are going to clear out for some sunshine, eventually rebounds to some pretty typical territory. Currently held back into the mid 30s, 34 seemingly the magic number from lancaster to philly to wilmington to ac and good portion of the area, very close

But this is will get you out the doorment could be little tricky shall specially out south jersey, no major additional accumulations, here but what you are finds something at least some flurries, and potential for some slick travel. Current temperature readings generally low to mid 30s, down to the 20s in mount pocono, cold start, feeling like were starting to get used to this here. Trust me folks nothing compared to whats on the way which again we will get to. So this morning, yes, few flurries are out there. If it looks wet, assume that it is icy. We dont have any major black ice concerns. However, i would not be shock if there were some places wh
