With the ice machine and the water coming out, you know, it was kind of easier. So, we were so excited. Reporter that is, until she noticed a problem a few days after whitaker appliance had it delivered. The ice machine was not working because the ice wasnt coming out. Reporter hernandez says she called the store several times to fix the fridge or replace it under the threemonth warranty. They always had something to say yeah, yeah, yeah, tomorrow. Reporter hernandez says the store told her theyd get back to her about sending over a technician nut never did. I was frustrated. Reporter she called nbc 10 responds.

Yeah, those snowflakes that are bolted to the lamppost, theyll be joined by the real ones as we head into the weekend. Thats because cold will be moving in for tomorrow. What were seeing right now, the moon set. Full moon doesnt that look great . Clear skies right now. We will see lots of sunshine, the sun coming up at 7 15. Temperatures havent come down all that much. Its typical december cold. 34 degrees right now in delaware, 30 in south jersey. Some of the suburbs are below freezing but not too many of them. West kellen township is 31. Just above for euclid township. Ft. Washington is 41 degrees. Warming into the 40s today or near 40 in the suburbs with lots of sunshine.

Well, watch how it will grow as we go into friday afternoon and start reaching into our area late friday night and just after midnight that snow falling in allentown, reading and wilmington, bridgeton some light snow for philadelphia. But a major temperature turnaround over the weekend, so its not just going to be snow over the weekend. It starts as snow saturday morning, then changes to an icy mix during the morning. In the afternoon, the warming continues. Saturday afternoon, that icy mix changes to rain. Once it changes to rain, its just rain through saturday night and sunday, then turning drier in the afternoon as it clears out, but windy and colder to end the day on sunday, and that will set the stage for a cold start to next workweek. But the real cold, the dangerous cold, which is why weve issued a first alert for thursday, friday, especially in the morning when the temperature will be down to 13 degrees, afternoon temperatures will be in the 20s, but the wind will be blowing, so its going to feel like its in the teens at best thursday afternoon. And those windchills near zero or below on friday morning. Cold still here saturday morning. Thats why well get snow to start with, but look at the warmup. Changing over to rain saturday afternoon and then the temperatures go even higher on sunday. Near 60 degrees. So only a chance of rain on sunday. Then it clears out for monday.
