A hotel in new jersey is making sure that Old Furniture lost to renewal finds a second life for people that could really use it. Nora muchanic has the story. When the Windham Hotel in mount laurel was getting new furniture, the plan was to rent dumpsters and cart it away but manager christie had an idea.

And st. Joes visits saint bonaventure. And as jaime apody tells us the coach has the ability to learn as well. Here we go you can usually hear Phil Martelli from a mile away and its a knew day and had to learn a new way to get the messages across. I taught myself to texabout five years ago. Base realized they were not answering my phone call and i developed a formula with these guys that i talk to them by text as much as i talk to them in person. Cant show you Phil Martelli texting his players because it happens while most of us are in our pajamas and a random thought comes into his head. Sometimes its 4 00 if the morning. I can see him there with his glasses on thinking of something to say. I dont know if it wakes them up and i dont care if if wakes them up i just want to get my message across. Its always coach martelli. The text the players say is always positive. Must have a strong day academically and strong heart and mind for practice. Must be a better student and player today. What account coachs texting style. Sometimes all caps and sometimes a lot of periods. He is still working with the kinks of the new phone. You use emojis. No, i dont know how to do that.

Just a lot of sunshine out there today. The action cam taking a look at longport, new jersey, where the sun was out and the gusty winds. But next week it may make you think of summer and heading to the beach but the first couple of days first. Its cold and temperatures falling through the day, allentown 35 and wildwood 37 and lancaster 33 and poconos 30. And temperatures were running 7 to 21 degrees colder than yesterday and factor in the winds, gusting more than 40 miles per hour. And the windchills across the board right now at or below freezing generally in the 20s and bundle up if you are stepping out and the winds are diminishing and we dont have cloud cover to insulate the earth. That means the winds are diminishing and temperatures drop down to the 20sover fight and then the next storm system takes shape over the plains and this will become a coastal storm but bring us a brush of snow late on thursday and friday morning. Tonight though, a quiet night just a cold night and brisk and clear and the winds diminishing, 27 degrees for center city and bundle up, well see sunshine early in the day. Then it clouds up and the winds are light and temperatures are on the cold side. Average high for this time of year 48 degrees, close to 10 degrees cooler than that. 39 in philadelphia and allentown 37 and cape may 38 and wilmington and millville high of 38 degrees. Its a fast moving system tracking just to the east and deepen as a coastal storm. But this is not a storm that will be hugging the coast and moving up the coast, this heads out to sea, that means we are dealing with a light brush of snow. Thursday night into midday on friday. The snow is moving up from the south from 10 00 until midnight on thursday and then tapering off by noon on friday and then we are looking at generally 1 to 3 inches of snow and most of that on grassy surfaces, the heaviest is south across south jersey and delaware, the morning rush hour a few slick spots and a high sun angle of march melting throughout the day. Its the timing that is a concern with the friday morning commute. The exclusive accuweather forecast going to be a chilly day, 39 degrees and increasing clouds and friday the snowy start with the light snow expect delays for the morning rush and even light snow can reduce the visibility and cause slick spots and the high only 46 degrees and then another disturbance rolls through with a chance of flurries and a rain shower and sunday sunshine is back by the afternoon, 48 degrees and look what happens next week. We are up to 58 on monday and 68 on tuesday and wednesday first day this year temperatures in the 70s, 72 degrees so two cold days and then temperatures rebound very nicely next week.
