From my perspective theres still whole lot more explaining that needs to be done about who did what out there that particular day and in the days after. Reporter but i challenged the mayor on comments that many say went too far. If the grand jury did have all the evidence as the state lewis county prosecutor said and you yours didnt have all the evidence, then some say how do you come off that strong whole they did all the evidence . You tell me what the evidence is that explains why the officer shot Michael Brown 10 times. Where is that evidence . Where is that explanation . Reporter the president of the the fop ripped nutters words in a letter posted on miss Facebook Page its very disappointing to learn Michael Nutter has chosen to publicly pander to a lynch mob mentality instead of displaying the courage and integrity required by a public official. Nutter has to make a choice. He can join the lynch mob or be the mayor. He cant do both. The said the evidence. There are still unanswered the questions. Thats the issue im praising. When a mayor, sitting mayor goes to the lengths of accusing a prosecutor of botching something, that tells you just how bad this is.

The threeyearold little girl was born healthy but she has tiny monthly formed ears she has no ear canals, no eardrums and she needs to wear a special hearing aid in order to hear. Emily rodriguez and her family traveled to california in late october for special reconstructive ear surgery and today this l trooper was beaming as she showed off what she refers to as her new big girl ear. Doctors can only do one ear at a time and emily will return to california in april to have a second operation. Surgeons actually traced emilys moms ear making her ear the same size and definition. They used a synthetic framework and they take a vascular part of the membrane from the scalp and they cover that framework and then they use skin that was left from her little ear and they also took skin from her abdomen and covered that. Its amazing what they can do. It was a miracle. It was unbelievable, you know, her she smiled, too, as soon as she came out and saw it. She just smiled. Shes so happy. So excited.

Im like youre not right about that. And sure enough, scott it looks like its coming into play right now we have the ingredients, dawn and iain. The rainfall to our south. Its still not cold enough for snow. But that cold air its going to be rushing in during the day tomorrow to change this mess right now that you see to our south as rain over to those wet snowflakes, reducing visibilities and also causing some wet roadways across the area. In fact Winter Weather advisories posted along i95 immediately north and west. But once you move into northern Chester County upper montgomery and bucks back to the Lehigh Valley as well as the pocono mountains winter storm warnings so the worst of it will be far north and west as far as that potential for slushy roads well talk about that coming up. How is this going to happen . Look at the temperatures tonight. They will be falling into the upper 30s north and west. Low fours by tomorrow morning. So its going to start off as rainfall for south jersey, delaware and i95. But a quick changeover as that colder air continues to rush in by midday. Into the afternoon and evening. Eventually ending as a little bit of wet snow as we move into southern sections of south jersey. So the timeline for that change over you can see early 7am when youre watching sue on good day were looking at the pock notice, the Lehigh Valley looking at some of that snowfall starting. The north and west suburbs from 9 00 to 11 00 the philadelphia metro area, i95 between 11am to 2 00 and then last but not least were looking a the that change over toward northern delaware and also south jersey so look at the clock tonight.

That rain snow line will be moving a little farther to the south as we move toward lunch time and then tomorrow evening, eventually moving into south jersey and delaware before rapidly gets out of here by 11 00 oclock and then by thanksgiving, were looking at a cold chill but were not dealing with that snowfall across the area. So its a oneday shot at that mess and were looking at the potential for one to two slushy inches mainly interior sections of south jersey, around the piles grove area, deptford, cherry hill, willingboro, i95 philadelphia slushy two to four and then once you move into upper montgomery, bucks county, northern chester, four to six slushy inches and then the greatest potential for six or more inches once you move toward the Lehigh Valley as well as the poconos. But mainly wet roadways, i95, 295 the potential for slushy roads as we move north of the turnpike. But watch out for reduced visibles and also because of that heavy wet snow, the potential is there for some Power Outages. Temperatures on thanksgiving right around 41 degrees. Were still chilly for shopping on friday. And temperatures moderate as we move toward the upcoming holiday weekend. Back into the mid 50s by sunday. But buckle up its going to be a long 24 hours.
