tonight and tomorrow. after tomorrow night, the winds start to relax. it's a cold sunday morning, but that breeze is not as aggressive. i think by next week, we certainly improve things. this philadelphia cold stretch, as we talked about, is the coldest since 1982. when you take all the days at or below 33. that's 35 years. we haven't seen this kind of cold in a long time around here. so by the time we get to monday, that's the key calculator in this whole equation here. by monday, we should start to get above 33 or 34 degrees. so we'll break that stretch. but right now, my forecast low for sunday morning is 1 below zero. the last time philadelphia international was at or below zero was back in 1994. so a lot of math here. even some more numbers, this is just insane if you think about it. philadelphia, 12.7 inches of snow. the average to date is usually four inches. wilmington, 10.4. look at this, atlantic city, 24.2 inches of snow. you've seen this winter alone and it's january 5th. unbelievable. normally you would get about 4.5. they say misery loves company. the cold weather goes from montana, minneapolis, boston, down to southern georgia. even the deep south where

first, warm your car up. >> reporter: wrong. our expert says it's not necessary to start your car to warm it up. sometimes it's just for the comfort of the driver. newer cars are actually designed to warm while driving. as a matter of fact, letting your car idle will cost you more in gas. >> the only reason why you would want to start a car up today and let it idle for i wouldn't say more than ten seconds at least, is so the oil pressure is built up in the >> reporter: i also talked toal warm. what you want to do is in the back seat or trunk, throw in a hat, scarf and gloves in case you end up stranded. make sure you have a fully charged cell phone. don't forget to have snacks while you're waiting for help to come. also, the mechanic i talked to, he said there's no problem letting your car idle for 10, 20 minutes. but if you have a car sitting out there running and nobody is in it, you see where this is going. somebody might take it. >> wastes a lot of gas, too. >> all right, harry
