But we have fair amount of clouds in and around the philadelphia area. The flag not blowing quite as much as it was yesterday. But just enough to make you feel pretty cold. Right now, it is 24 degrees in philadelphia. 18 in allentown. 13 in mount pocono. The temperatures are going up. We do still have wind but now the windchills are at least in double digits across much of the area. Still feels like 5 in allentown. 6 in reading. 9 in lancaster. 3 below in the poconos. And this is the way it is going to feel as we go through the afternoon, generally into the 20s. The temperature going up a little bit. The wind going down a little bit. And generally dry conditions. So the rest of the day, yeah its cold, but, of course, it is not going to be as cold as it was this morning. A few snow flurries up near the poconos now, could get down to the Lehigh Valley maybe even upper bucks county during the afternoon. Thats pretty light. Well see how much of a warmup were going to see over the weekend a
Work today, saw couple of flags, werent starched but were whipping pretty good. So it is throughout. If youre not bundled for the cold, it cut right through you. Cuts like a knife. For sure. Because we havent had a day like this, we had them all the time last winter. No kidding. But havent had a day like this in so long, it will be that much worse. In terms of how it feels, you just have to be ready for it, im sure you had the heater cranked last night, probably still snuggled up perhaps in your sweatshirts and your cozy slippers, but getting out the door this morning it will be in the bridge colder, certainly thats well red when it comes to the thermometer readings and specially the windchill values. Lets take you out here to skycam 3, where over the ben franklin bridge, things are nice as clear, no problems. You cant tell there is really any winds necessarily with this particular shot. As ukee mentioned, i saw it too, the flags are flying, leaves blowing everywhere, thankfully what t
Caller hidden in plain sight what really caused the worlds worst financial crisis and why it could happen again you are a member of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission that was investigating the cause of the 0708 crisis. What did you see that the republican and democratics didnt see . I was looking at the housing situation and fanny may and freddy mack for a while before getting on the commission so i had a background on what happened in the housing sector. I was looking for the commissioner to look into what happened with fanny mae and fredie mack and their role. I found the commissioner was interesting in that and wouldnt look at it. To the degree i tried to interest them i was told i was given all kinds of signals that wasnt something i would do. With the other republicans, my view was that our responsibility on the commission was to make sure that the American People understood what happened in the crisis. That i was outside, i thought of the partisan differences between the re

So even mount pocono, off to pretty mild start for their standards. The ocean water is cool. It is starting to creep up on the thermometer too, 49 in barn gate light low and mid 50s, from cape may then across the bay over to rehoboth. Meanwhile as the day progresses looking at more clouds than anything. But even though we more cloud cover, we keep the warmth around. Not the worse idea to keep the umbrella at the ready. May need it, may not. Better to be safe than sorry there. Will be showers out there. Might get lucky and not have to deal with them. They are casino of off and on any time. Justin, we send it into you. Good advice there is may slow down the morning commute little bit if we get the steadier rain. Seeing some that far in zezel county maryland, but little chilly. Now touch of humidity in the air. Actually it feels more like the warm season just aroundment corner. Lets take you to the vine street expressway right now. Looking good. The road is dry. Not dealing with any rain
