Reporter that is in contrast to the reaction from other republicans, members of the Senate Arms Services commit thee including senator john mccain, calling for these claims to be fully investigated saying the parties must work together. We would be working in a bipartisan basis. You cannot make this issue partisan. It is too important. A fundamental of a democracy is a tree, fair election. This is a form of warfare, for vladamire putin who is a thug, bully, for him to be trying to impact our elections , we have, there has to be accountability.

I know you feel pain, eagles fans, not happy, not the happy at all about yesterdays 2722 loss against the redskins but people we caught up with too, some diehard fans outside the link, were taking another defeat in stride. This year was a rookie season for everybody. Im not too mad. I thought it would be bet they are year. It was close, they tried, it is all okay. I still bleed green, i dont care. It is just a game. They had the fight to come back but could not make come back in the long run. We thought they had a chance to come back late. It is all right. Only a game, right.

Coming up on the fox 29 morning news here at 5 11, slick roadways for the morning commute, and it is cold outside but guess what a warm up is on the way, and not before a major chill. And sue said there might be sun today. She will break it down with the timing this movie is so good i have already seen it, fences getting a ward buzz no more fence sit to go day. We will hear from the Golden Globes who they think is the best. Will your favorite make the list. Welcome back, were looking at the airport delays, chicago, big time out there, because they have a lot of snow, as much as half a foot out there. They had to ground nearly 2,000 flights, that is one of the worst areas with that ohare airport. They think it will be days before they get everything back to normal. This right here will get your heart pounding at Detroit Metro slick snow and ice being blamed for frightening moments aboard a delta plane. Flight was from buffalo on its way to the gate when it slid, dozens of feet off the tarmac and right in the grass. Now all of the passengers made it off the plane safely but, you know, they said it is an experience they will never forget. That system making its way east not a big winter flier by the way. I always think about that too, the ice on the runway, they do a great job. You dont want to fly to detroit, chicago, better choice to fly through dallas, or atlanta. Or just wait until summer. There you go. Who needs to travel. Stay safe. Heres the deal we are only nine days from winter but almost felt like it this weekend and with that cold air many started out with snow but now, the changeover is happening with warm air coming in from the south and moving northward but were still seeing some dicey conditions, north and west of the city, as we zoom in, it the looks like, berks and lehigh valleys, pocono mountains, we could still see that wintry mix of precipitation, because it is all about the temperature, it is very close to freezing, in those areas. So, we have been watching reading, pottstown, with some potential, icy situations, and the same thing, the snow has changed over to freezing rain, even up in the mountains, but for the future cast, we will see things starting to dry out , by seven or 8 00 oclock in the north and west, the places where we had wintry precipitation lingering, and then by eight or 9 00 oclock we are seeing rain start to clear out of the philadelphia area it lingering in the shore points and southern delaware for a few you more hours but by two or 3 00 oclock in the afternoon, we will probably sees a little bit of sunshine and it will be milder today then it was all weekend long. One more thing you have to deal with this morning are poor visibilities with these temperatures, many of them above freezing, philadelphia and southward but it is north anders with, around doylestown , for instance where we are right at 32 degrees but there is fog, with this warmer air moving in and moisture as well. That is also going to be slowing you down. It is a messy morning. Longer you can delay your commute i would say the better today because it does improve as the day goes along. 42 degrees tomorrow. Fortythree on wednesday, but by thursday and friday, were, not only back to colder air but it is colder then it was over weekend with high temperatures, bob kelly, in the the 20s. Now, this friday we will be the coldest day of the season, so far. Wow talk bay total difference from monday to friday. Yes. 5 16 on this monday morning again here in cherry hill, new jersey the mall in the background. The roads are wet, but as sue just mentioned areas that are right on that teetering mark there the roads could be wet but maybe your sidewalk, that front step or your back deck when you walk out the front door, could have ice object this depending where you begin and end your trip. The heres 422. We have the whole picture here , we have the rain, the spray, we have got the fog. Throw a few deer in there as well as you roll in out of royersford. No problems in and out of center city. They did not work last night on the vine expressway, expect delays at philly international be prepared because of the snow that came through midwest last night, flights that were supposed to come into philly yesterday may not have made it and so therefore we will have a domino delay which will start to roll role this morning. Check with the airline, to play it safe, and naturally, here in philadelphia alone even if the plane is there, there is rain and fog to deal with this morning up in newtown route 332, which is newtown richboro road at rocky waste watch for a crash, and then heres an example of the poconos this morning, so again , rain, the further north and west you go, we have got snow on the grass surfaces, but it is not sticking to the road surface. That is good thanks to the road crews out there on the overnight. And then putting down that salt, and ant tony in northeast philadelphia got everything all decorated with the manger scene, santa blowing what do you have on your front lawn.
