And also president obama releasing details on how he plans to spend his final days in the white house, lets get down to washington right now and doug luzader, happy new year, doug. Good morning, happy you this year, guys. Everybody is looking ahead to january 20th. That is the big day where president elect trump gets the keys to the white house. We are getting a better idea of how president obama is preparing for his own departure. President obama bidding farewell to hawaii early this morning, most likely for the last time as president. Air force one departed for washington just hours after Trump Force One arrive in new york with the president elect returning from his vacation with considerable work ahead for both of them. Just this morning the white house released a statement from the president who is now going to travel to chicago next week to deliver a farewell address. It is a chance he says to say thank you for this a hazing journey to celebrate the way you have changed this country for better these past eight years and to offer some thoughts on where we all go from here. But his key concern is where we go from obama care, signed into law almost seven years ago, it is in serious jeopardy the president head to the hill later this week to meet with nervous democrats unsure what president elect trump intend to to. Will he just repeal it, without putting up a alternative that will strengthen it or will he continue to, you know, just say im going to get rid of it reporter trump meets with u. S. Intelligence official this is week to get shore information about allegations of russian involvement in the november election. While president obama issued a number of sanction as begins russia in response, trump has remained skeptical. I think it is unfair if they dont know and i know a lot about hacking and hacking is a very hard thing to prove. It could be somebody else. I also know things that other people dont know so they cannot be sure of this it ways reporter as far as final three weeks in the quite three weeks in office, the white house says to prepare for another round of pardons and commutations coming from president obama. That is pretty much a tradition. Hey doug. Yes. What did you do new years eve. Report report we have little kid so getting, and i fell asleep at 11 55 and woke up, like ten minutes later and my wife and i missed ball drop and, indeed difficult. No big deal. Got that close. It is no big deal. We will see you tomorrow. I missed Mariah Careys big thing. Again, no big tiehl. Reporter that is right. We will play that clip in a little bit. Planes and smoke gutting this home in Prospect Park. One of our fresco users got this Pretty Amazing video this thing was out of control. This was six hours ago. The lets get out to steve keeley because we have volunteer fire fight hours did a great job on this one, steve reporter karen, right across the street here on pennsylvania avenue you can see people with their Christmas Lights still on and still see them as we get daylight. The reason i show thaw is i will use this fire to warn people with the decorations still up and their trees still up, even though that was not the cause here, that is often a cause of fires this time of the year. So check that tree if you keep it up any longer. It is like liz super dry right now and a super dangerous, fire hazard especially if you have lights on. But you can see with our little bit of daylight how bad this house was damaged as crew s are here still boarding up probably 30 windows. This is a big story house at pennsylvania avenue and great thing, family of 5 00 at 1 00 smells smoke coming from the kitchen and they metally get everybody out of bed and out of the house safely. Nobody hurt. Probably about 100 or so Fire Fighters from nearly a dozen volunteer Companies Get here. Look at our video. You can see how up tense these flames are as Fire Fighters, get here, and that is why this thing is so damaged because these flames spread so fast, throughout this house, and again, it is christmastime. They have got Christmas Decorations up in a lot of the windows, lot of that stuff, helping to fan the flames, and then the good thing the Fire Fighters had in their favor was it was not even raining yet to be a nuisance but not cold so nothing treeing up and not winnie like we have had so many days lately where the wind may have spread this fire to other houses, because you can see that these flames so intense that the the house next door had all siding melted off, so that can see even better with daylight. So hopefully as we come out of this picture, jared, i dont know if you can see that but house next door where family was going for shelter, you can see they have got damaged. That is how intense flames can be. The that is a 15foot walk from house to house. So hopefully, the next time board up crew has to use their truck here, it is not to board up a house after a fire but used that plow to see sue says could come in handy by end of the week. The these guys may have a different job to do by friday and great job by them as well today, for sure. Look at that snow. 7 11. A search for a small plane, disappeared over lake erie, will resume today, six people were on the plane when it went missing, back on thursday night. All six are presumed dead. The pilot was the chief executive of a Beverage Distribution Company and his wife, two sons and two neighbors were on board. Police found some luggage and other debris on the shore of the lake erie, in their search but so far no signs of the plane. Then another plane crash in illinois. People died in this one. Another small plane that crashed near vienna near southern most part of that state. It was a piper single engine aircraft. It went down new years eve. On board were two men and two women from iowa. That is all that is being released right now. And folks are remembering one of the William Christopher , aka father muscle kay he, he died at his home in pasadena, california on saturday. Christopher was diagnosed with cancer more than a year ago. And he was under hospice care for about a week and a half. He also had rolls on the andy griffin show, hogans heroes, William Christopher was 84 years old. It is 7 13. Let talk sports. Chip kelly got fired. Our eagles playing yesterday. They did darn good against dallas although they where the knot playing starters most of the game. No. Zach ertz had a great game no matter how you look at it. Stepping up big for the game. He had a good, game, 139yard, two touchdowns. We did win 2713. Ending up at sevennine. Yeah, the eagles will probably pick 14th or 15th there will be aucoin flip in the nfl draft which happens in philadelphia this year depending on this coin flip, we will figure out if it was either one. The later this morning we will look at what the bird, need to do, this off season to be a playoff contender in 2017. But the carson wentz mining trout bromance continues. The eagles quarter back taking ball from zach ertz after a touchdown, and gave the ball to the baseball star who was sitting in the front row. He has season ticket there. The other eagles in the recent weeks, he even gave them new shoes for christmas. By the way, who was it, some player, it whats Ezekiel Elliott of the cowboys. Yes. He gave out Christmas Gifts yes. Offensive line. He gave them all atvs, because they are all sportsmen how much fun. Yes. How much money. Well, you know. Eagles beat reporter find himself on the defense after being ejected during sundays game. Now this might have been most exciting part of the game yesterday was up in the press box. The inquirers jeff maclean was kick out of the press box. It was another columnist there who writes for daily news who took this picture. Marcus heyes. What happens is to be the in the press box there are very specific rules. Old days you could not even cheer. So, it got heated during one play, a penalty, they were trying to argue what was the play, penalty. Pr team said you are too loud can you please keep it down. Then, the person, pr person says, that is when the writer, for the inquirer told them to shut up. Well, reporter denies that. Ann gordon, senior vp of marketing, media and Communications Says every reporter understands the code of conduct policy, so that people can watch the game and can follow and do their jobs carefully. I remember one time, years ago i was in the press box. I didnt know about these rules. It was cheering. Keep it down. You are not supposed to be cheering. If you are working in the different city whether i has two teams it just shows you are totally by as. We are supposed to show no bias. I dont think jeff was cheering. It seemed like a little thin skinned on everybodys part yesterday. Inquirer senior vicepresident and executive editor, criticized the ejection saying outrageous, it could have been easily resolved in several ways without ejecting him from the press box. Thin skinned yesterday. Yeah, seriously. Sue, do weather, dam it. I was going to say shut up but i will probably be eject from the show. Any way, we have rain that starts this week and it will eventually get cold enough by mid week that we could have a little bit of snow on friday morning. It is too early to tell the beginning, the end, when it could start. We will say friday morning snow for now. More details for now. Let get through this messy morning first, it is well above freezing in philadelphia , 38 degrees but close to freezing in pottstown , allentown, 30 degrees in mount pocono, only 2 degrees above freezing in reading and everybody else getting rain, lots of moisture coming from the southwest but that tricky area is north and west of the city where things could look wet the but be very slippery with just that thin layer of ice, and then if the temperature is killed enough and that is the case, in allentown and not the too far from the trenton area as well. We have had heavy pockets in wilmington, salem county in new jersey but as temperatures warm up a little bit everybody will eventually, change over, and to all rain, and it will be on and off throughout the rest of the day and it will be coming up in several round. There you can see by lunchtime we will see more heavy rain moving from the south and it is with us for the ride home, so a messy ride, there, and a messy ride home if indeed you are working on for what Many Companies is an official holiday today for new years day. 45 degrees today. Fifty tomorrow. And then the change happens on wednesday when we have early high of 52 and temperatures dropped throughout the day. Colder on thursday, chance of morning snow, on friday, and we will see what happens with that but for the first, full weekend of 2017, we can promise very cold temperatures only good thing is i get out of taking Christmas Decorations down, outside, which was on my to did list. 7 18. Live look at i95, northbound right at cottman avenue disabled off to the side but everything is wet, soaking, this morning as you got pond ing out there. We have light volume because of the official holiday as sue mentioned. Heres a live lot at freeway. Hopefully you have a good set of wiper blades there for christmas. Sunday schedule for the septa Regional Rail lines, today, bus and trolley routes running on a modified, weekday schedule, and you can go to septa. Org, they have details there for all of the buses, trains, trolley signs, even patco, new Jersey Transit, and dart all operating on special limited schedules. Overnight crash Still Closing taunton lake road over here just outside of marlton, and until about lunchtime and for the gang traveling up and down 495 through wilmington, watch it, the heavier rain could make it a little bit slippery, the further south and west we will go. No problems on the blue route, heading down to the airport. Speaking of the airport just expect some delays because of the weather so check for the airline, before you head down to philadelphia international, mike and karen, back over to you. Did you stay up until midnight on new years eve. Difficult not. I knew it. Not. I missed this too. I was awake but i didnt see this. Mariah carey was supposed to sing there in time square. Now tmz is report ago this man rice a belief her on stage lip sync, it was obvious she was doing it. It was a disaster. She admitted she was going to do that. She said she was sabotage that somebody did this to her on purpose. This is how it went down. I cant hear but i will just go on. It went to number one and that is what it is. It was just so bad. She does lose it. It was a live new years eve performance. She talks to a dancer and say just go through the oceans. She is trying to lip sync, when she first came out. Whether he she lost that track she tries to get that audience for her when she was doing emotion. She said that she was sabotag ed, tv executives could score big ratings. Now Dick Clark Productions which puts the on the show just came out and said that is absolutely absurd. That is absurd. She was one of the first acts that they started to do this. But she skipped rehearsal. She w
