Horrible day. A nightmare. Reporter keisha smith blew a tire on i95 had to be towed to a tire shop. It make it extremely horribly worse because you cant really do nothing like the wind chill alone every time people was riding on 95 i thought the car was going to blow over. Reporter shes waiting in her car instead of in the shop. Smart move considering the heater in the shop is broken. All thats working is this make shift electric heater which keeps you warm if youre say 2 feet away. The heating system died at the end of last winter and it took a day like today for Stanford Martin to decide he wants it fixed now. So you couldnt wait any more . No couldnt wait any longer. I actually called two Different Companies today. Both said they were coming. I didnt cancel anybody. Whoever comes first. Reporter first arrive val with affordable fix. Theyre there to help our customers to get their heat back on. Reporter he was able to diagnose the problem. Its frozen and not able to ignite.

And even if its not an emergency got to definitely service their units. I would definite recommend to come out don a quick tune up. Preventive maintenance is definitely the key. Reporter he tells me that a heating tune up will cost between 60 and 160. Another issue can be frozen pipes. I talked to local plumber who tells me right now he hasnt seen too many of them but of course as the cold weather continues that could be a problem in the future. Another immediate problem apparently microphones that dont work in the, guys. Back to you. All right. I know. Its all good, brad. Thank you very much.

Reporter well, lucy and chris, it only took minutes the thief was in and out of the cjc in the nick of time and officers say that he took something that he could potentially use threaten or harm someone else. Its very scary. Unfortunate people are that bold and brazen to do Something Like that. Reporter but this guy right here didnt think twice. Police say he saw the opportunity and stole a Police Officers uniform. The officer was testifying in a courtroom in the criminal justice sent yesterday, when he left his patrol jacket with his badge and his hat on bench. When the officer came out minutes later, they were gone. The guy who has it ill hope he doesnt do anything rash. Reporter obviously that is what has people concerned. That the thief may try to use the uniform to pose as a Police Officer and potentially hurt someone. No one will challenge it because he has the uniform. Sure it worries you. When anyone who has the nerve to do it in the first place is even more dangerous. Reporter Philadelphia Police commissioner richard ross hopes its nothing more than a theft. We dont need people out there impersonating Police Officers. Its tough enough out there for men and women trying to do this job without somebody with poor intentions wearing our uniform. Reporter many are surprised some someone would stoop sews low to steal a police uniform, others believe the officer was careless. Thats not good. He shouldnt put it down. It should have taken it with him. Reporter commissioner agrees the Police Officer should have safeguarded his uniform better. He says the Surveillance Video is good and believes someone will definitely recognize this guy. Were hoping that someone will call and say we know who this person is and this is who you need to go and talk to. First are for most we want the equipment back.

Its 17 in lancaster, reading, pottstown 17. 10 in the poconos. 19 degrees in wilmington. 20 degrees currently from dover, millville, through atlantic city. But those are the air temperatures. You have to factor in that wind. It feels like nine below right now in the poconos. It feels like zero in reading. It feels like four in pottstown along with philadelphia. Look at wilmington. It only feels like one lonely degrees. For tonight it is going to be cold. Crank the heat. Were looking at 15 degrees in the city. 10 in the suburbs. One of the defendant december nights weve seen in several years across the area. Now, for tomorrow, 27 degrees it stays cold but not as blustery. Those winds this afternoon were gusting up to 50 Miles Per Hour in the poconos. Dry, quiet right now for much of the east coast but look off to the west. Were looking at some moisture gathering in particular around the Colorado Rockies and that system is headed in our direction. Once again tomorrow overnight into early saturday morning. So take look at the potential snowfall totals a brief coating before everything changes over to a wintry mix and eventual al rain. Were talking a coating to perhaps an inch. Right along the i95 corridor northwestern suburb were talking west chester, pottstown one to 2inches to doylestown once you move into berks county the Lehigh Valley two to 4inches and over 4inches high probability once you move toward the pocono mountains. So well time everything out for you hour by hour. Late friday night over night moving into 2am, 3am saturday mainly north and west were looking at some of that snowfa snowfall. Now, look at the clock. 6am, all green. That is rain parts of south jersey, delaware. The pink thats the wintry mix right along the i95 corridor already beginning to change over to that mix at 6am.

Look at 9 00 oclock. Were talking upper 40s low 50s across the area and then look at 6am on sunday. Temperatures climbing into the upper 50s to right around 60 degrees. So the bottom line for that weekend snow, Lehigh Valley two to 4inches. Changing to a mix then to rain north and western suburbs. One or 2inches to rain south jersey into delaware quick coa coating to an inch to all rainfall. So as we watch those temperatures climb saturday to near 50 degrees, then sunday 60.
