You can see we have wet roadways in philadelphia, 37 degrees but yeah the rain changing over to snow, a lot of it has moved over into new jersey we are seeing beginning of the end here in philadelphia, and maybe a few flurries, but, for the most part, it is almost finish, so 37 degrees, here, 32 up in allentown and check out mount pocono is 19, they are getting the blast of cold air that the rest of us will throughout the day. So this continues with a couple flurries left over, in by lunchtime we are at 29 degrees and probably top it off or settle in freezing, with some wind it will feel colder then that but temperatures take a roller coaster ride as we head through weekend and beyond.

Thank you for having me. So lets start with early ad s are out, lets start with the good, which one do you think is doing a good job. Bun have of people diagnosis a nice job. Budweiser has once again done a great spot not their best work but budweiser has gauged temperament of the country and putting out a spot of what is going on. They have done a nice job putting out a commercial about america, red, white, purple, coastal, fly over, they can all say this stands for us. They have had Great Success will we see a lot the tone of the country, the theme. You will see this in the 90 s when everything was going great, everything was funny, after 9 11 it will be somber. It will be interesting. You will see me too stuff, powerful women, you will see female spokespersons which would be good for country. If you watch it years from new you can tell what has happening at the time. Another good ad that brings in as it should be getting the right message. There is quite a few but i even joyed craft doing nice things but. Skittles. They have donnie great job around super bowl time and they are in the running an ad this year but what they have didnt hyped up the fact that they have not. They made a super bowl spot that they will air for one person but funny spots with david swimmer. Those companies are going to social media, posting on you tube, opting out spending five milliondollar, and maybe price will get down. Talk about the good, bad and ugly which won didnt you like. M and m is doing something interesting. They are featuring danny day veto, they are saying he is an m and m, it is one of these, some brands do it well, some brands dont do it well. Although this ad is funny some people like i dent want to think about danny devito, i dont think that. Dipped in check late. We will see how this one polls afterward. They love to go after celebrities, Stephen Tyler a couple years ago. Stephen tyler did the same thing i just dont think you want to think about Stephen Tyler eating candy. Weak find out what people think. But everybody tries to use celebrities. It is hard to do well. You know which one i like doritos commercial with morgan free man and peter nicholas. That is an example of they are fun, funny but are they advancing the brand. Did that need to be Morgan Freeman or is that helping to support the brand. You will see a ton of celebrities. I went out and bought mountain due and doritos right afterward. On behalf of advertising. Thanks very much. You do a great job can you stick around for later. Absolutely. We will check back in and break down more ads as well. It is 5 49. Et cetera lets get a check of the road. I want to see betty white with the snickers bar in the Super Bowl Ad again. 5 49 westbound schuylkill expressway accident approaching conshohocken only one lane gets through we are bumper to bumper from city line all the way out west toward conshohocken on the boulevard again everything wet we have rain right now quick hit of snow and then out of here but that will make for slippery Road Conditions through the morning rush hour, bryn mawr, it is your turn, kelly classroom pep rally we are going to saints coleman john newman today Catholic School week all going down live on good day from nine to 10 00.
