You need more time to assess it, year or more to figure out waist going on. Now, spokesperson for pepsi says because of the beverage tax, sales are down 4 in the city and up only 10 to 15 outside the city. City Officials Say to date the tax has created 251 jobs, which are mostly full time teaching positions.

So if you are headed south on 95 any time soon starting this morning, right in center city, just before this for l callowhill exit, the vine street expressway. Maybe the busiest spot for 95 this time of day for sure. The last billboard here on the right is the newest just put up. And you can see the wind blowing the top of it. These arent painted any more. These are just big chunks every vinyl. Just paid for with a whole lot of small donations to help this philly Public School teacher get across his rather large message. Philly teach verse not had a raise in five years, because theyre union and School Administrators have not agreed on a contract, despite no pay raise, being a centralized School Teacher have this guy have no trouble being able to raise over 5,000 bucks to cover the cost to make this billboard and rent this space for about a month.

Where we dont value our Public School children. Five plus years without a raise for teachers with love on the eraser by the way on the bottom. Src, mayor kenney, and superintendent. Philly teach verse been working for five plus years without a raise. Thats very truck for me. The teachers push very hard to get mayor kenney elected. Instead of settling they took the pft to court in order to try to impose a contract on us, there is huge responsibility there, too. And so this will be up for at least four full weeks he says. And dont be surprised if it goes up longer if he asks for more donations, but one thing i notice, karen, driving in this way there is was the only billboard with lights on today. I was worried we werent going to be able to show it to you in the dark. Maybe the lights also paid for, unlike say the power billboard right before. This real bright. Real big. And real lit up.

And i did not have communications with the russians. At the sayings he met with the ambassadors in his capacity as a senator on the Armed Services committee not in regard to the president ial campaign.

Well get through it. You can hear the emotion. The storms damanged hundreds of homes and left so many thousands of people there without power. 4 16. Sue, i just got a tweet from someone saying they lost power up in levittown. Not surprising because weve got high winds, winds gusting 40, 45 miles an hour. And with the rain that came through yesterday, it could knock some power lines and trees down. This morning, any place with this brown area, wind advisory, high win warning is for philadelphia and all of new jersey, and new castle county, delaware, and our surrounding counties until 10 00 this morning. So lets check the wind gust. 44 miles an hour in philadelphia. Winds gusting up to 36 miles an hour in millville. 30 miles an hour in mount pocono. 38 Miles Per Hour in wilmington. Pretty windy out there. You can probably hear it outside of our window if you havent gone out yet. Chilly temperatures havent settled in yet in the wake of the cold front that touched off all of the storms yesterday, and the wind that we have right now. So it is 39 degrees right now in mount pocono, 54 dover, 53 in philadelphia. These temperatures will go down and they may bounce back up again a little bit in the afternoon. But it is never going to feel like the actual temperature, because of those wind, now, you can see, with the cold air, and the cold front, not quite through yet. There are some showers and some flurries, but only in berks county right now, really not expecting precipitation around here this morning, as you see in the future cast. And as far as tomorrow is concerned, few changes it, doesnt look like anything is go going to happen in the morning, but a clipper system coming through maybe in the afternoon bringing a little bit of snow around 1 00 to our western suburbs, maybe snow or rain showers, depending on temperatures around 3 00 in the afternoon. The models really kind of all over the place on that one. But it doesnt look as bad as it did yesterday. Average hi, 48 degrees, we were well above average yesterday with 74. But we did not tie or break a record. 49 degrees today. Fortynineish, already reached High Temperature of 60 for the day. Fortyone tomorrow. And it will be pretty breezy. Thirtyfive is going to be the High Temperature on saturday. So thats a very wintery forecast. Little better but still wintery on sunday. And then by the middle of next week were back into the 60s, bob kelly . Little roller coaster there. Definately youll feel the wind when you open up that front door. Maybe even hear it right now as you are getting up and making the coffee and getting the kids lunches all packed. That will be the factor in anything thats loose out there, your back deck, your front lawn, the trash can, some loose tree branches even, getting some reports of some downed wires. This is all happening this morning. So, just be careful. Because again were the trailblazers, the first ones out the front door, until we see daylight tough to see the branches until youre right on top of them. We have downed tree there is along 295, it is the southbound side of 295 right near route 206. Which is exit 56. So it is probably one of those trees off on the side, flip down, partially blocking the right lane on the southbound side. Here is a live look at the 42 freeway, light volume so far coming in toward the city, no problems here on the schuylkill expressway. We are looking good here, again, this is 42 again, working your way in toward the city. May have leftovers from last night. Big delays at Philadelphia International airport because of the wind and the rain and then of course the winds this morning could play havoc on our arrivals and departures, so just be ready for that if you are headed down to the airport. New Jersey Transit river line using shuttle buses again today from walter rand the Entertainment Center over to the waterfront all because of water main break from few days ago, so far so good. No word from septa on any downed wires or trees. But again, that Paoli Thorndale line, thats that tree lined railroad that comes from out there in malvern, all the way into center city, we will keep our fingers crossed that it stays on time through the morning.
