So lets go to the number of the day, 7 02, we have seven out of 10. It is cold out there but not as cold as tomorrow. Wind chills in the teens this morning, keep that in mind, there is no school today but buddy is still working still happy about the eagles win he has blanket coat on and few layers underneath this morning on this candy canes day. So we need more sugar after yesterday. 26 degrees is our current temperature but factor in 15 miles an hour wind and feel like 14. Our high is 32. Our High Temperature will be freezing. Wind chills in the 20s thanks to the 10 to 15 miles an hour winds. It is not as windy as yesterday but still breezy. 18 degrees overnight. That is your fox cast for boxing day, bob kelly. That is what they call it across across the pond. We have a water main break day here. Oh, geese. Second one this morning. Looking live from sky fox over the great northeast, willits and holmes avenue in northeast philadelphia, this is our second water main break of the morning. This within just happened, you can sea water still gushing out. This is willits and holme just off academy road ramps of i95 if im not mistaken this triangular intersection famous for some water main breaks over the last couple of years. Look at that, again, quiet start in the northeast but that is icing up quickly as we get to the maps, again holme avenue and willits avenue in northeast philadelphia, that is spots where we will sea water crews and im in the sure how many homes are impact by that break. Other break here on Germantown Pike lets role video from sky fox hovering over that one long the pike in front of the exxon station we have friendl ies on the other corner , pine crest Shopping Plaza i believe is in there as well. So again with the water still gushing out that water icing up quickly as we come back to the maps here your best bet instead of the Germantown Pike within township line and tractor trailer south on route route 73 at 295 in mount laurel, alex and thomas, back to you. That one is heading down the middle, and good, with seconds seconds to go. That is jake elliotts kick that secured the deal securing Home Field Advantage throughout the playoffs. It is the First Time Since 2004 which, if you will remember, is the last time they went to the super bowl. If you feeling kind of down about this win because it is messy, we can think of that our steve keeley has one wish for his birthday and that is a ticket out to the big game, steve. Reporter yes, birthday week, super bowl parade week for me and abe lincoln. By the way alex, 2004 let me do some weather football history. Look at that American Flag blowing here still windy just like it was yesterday. In the complaining about the weather because sue serio says this is close toes curesol everybody that mike jerrick will feel because it is going downhill from here. But in 2004 the last year that the eagles had Home Field Advantage that last home field game to get to the super bowl, nfc championship game post blizzard, 17 degrees was the temperature with 30mile an hour winds, sue, do the math on that one eagles beat Michael Vick Atlanta falcons 2710 in zero four. Another number seven nate sud field we will see get some game playing in nick foles will tell you i need game action after playing horrendous last night. I didnt play good enough. I have to play cleaner, third down is a big thing with the quarterback, pinpoint accuracy making good decisions. I will look at film, i will improve and these wins are tough. Wins in the nfl is tough. This is a crazy, sloppy game. I thought our defense played wonderful, giving us an opportunity, five turnovers and that is huge, so this win is big. Do you notice modern day nfl players, use film. They have in the used film. Look at video. Let me give you Economic News here. The regular season games 100 for cheapest ticket at lincoln financial feel. They are american double for the nfc championship game, 205 bucks for cheapest, that is face value. Stub hubbies already selling nfc championship games for 360 bucks. That is confidence, but listing prices but ticket prices double. You fans happy that the eagles are in the playoffs, that is money out of your pocket. Dont be surprised if people are already looking up, round trip airfare, and hotel stays in minnesota. That is just, three more wins away. They dont to have win begins dallas but three wins and you are a super bowl champion, philadelphia. Steve sound optimistic he knows ticket prices because he got us, tickets, steve is that what we understand. Did owe . Reporter no, no. Last time i bought eagles season tickets i remember think just told jared. I had season tickets, ten dollars i sat in the box seats for philadelphia but they were cheap seats because i was in the end zone. Ten dollars. Now they are a hundred dollars for cheapest seats. That is 10 times what i paid as a kid, with my newspaper money. Split four ways. Okay, really. God my dollar. Hey mister where is my dal air. 7 08. Lets talk about the bitter cold. Freezing temperatures and also the win really causing code blue alerts across the region this morning you will feel it when we step outside. We called dave kinchen around 1 30 and said hey dave, we will send you outside, this morning are you down with that reporter by the way, yeah, those ticket prices go up, temperatures going down, how is that for a segway, um, um, how about. That anyway, lets keep it moving, right, okay, sorry about that. Sometimes my jokes just dont, they just miss, it is fine. We get to the flags blowing right there, you can see steve keeley also doing the same thing. They are blowing in the same direction and it is cold out here, folks. Real chilly. Bitter cold air, it is prompting code blues all across the delaware valley. Several code blues have been activated for most of this week and the temperature and wind chill making things feel like 20 degrees or cooler and that is probably feeling like 15 just by my body temperature change, it is anyway with many people dressed up in layers. Some people they have to go to shelter to stay warm, so we talk to them about it. Reporter how rough is it to be on the streets in the wintertime. Real rough, basically when you have no where to go, it is real rough. It is painful when you cannot find, for people who cannot find shelter out there. Reporter down that way, you know, of course, you can only imagine how cold it is down that way, you know as they get closerto the water. I dont even want to think about being in the water, you know, not enough layers for that guys, back to you. So right about that. We certainly to have layer up. Thanks, dave. 7 09. If you were watching on friday you saw emotional moment when we had a father on to talk about what happened to his baby girl, and he broke down, she got attacked by a racoon. It just makes me cry, it really makes me cry like. It really do. No, we understand completely. I cant even imagine. I cannot put myself in your position. Yeah, dont want to see your baby like. That four monthold Journey Black was sleeping in her mom s apartment on 22nd last week when a racoon got inside and attacked her. She needed 65 stitches to the face and head there to and surgery. Now the baby came home from the hospital on christmas. We have a good eye date. Thinks the photo. In addition to join being released from the hospital the family says that 22,000 has been raised through a go fund me page after the attack and it is allowing them to move in a new home and give journey a new place to live. So that is wonderful. 7 11. Republicans likely left washington feeling good about passing tax reform. But despite major legislative accomplishment there are some equally dicey political gambles on the radar so Griffey Jenkins has the story this morning from washington about this. Good morning. Good morning. It is back to work in washington a lot to be done, democrats, hoping that they might actually get some concessions out of republicans Republicans Party coming to an end after, celebrating tax reform win with you before any of this gets done they will to avoid january 19th governmental shut down. Current funding measure gives congress until january 19th to reach an agreement or face partial of the governmental shut down. Latest plug was passed just hours before lawmakers skipped town for december recess, it is third time since the new fiscal year because again that Congress Resort todd a short term solution. Republicans acknowledge the possibility of the wind being taken out of the tax reform sales. You dont get very long around here to enjoy, something when you get an accomplishment like this. We have to shift to the other challenges we have in front of us. Reporter Congress Need to keep pentagon going, and decide what to do about illegal immigrant who came here as children. Democrats pledged cooperation in working out a permanent solution for dreamers. We need to deal with it in a constructive bipartisan way and if we dont, dont look to us for help. Reporter congress is also expected to revisit 81 billion Disaster Relief package that includes money for hurricane and wild Fire Recovery and was passed by the house thursday but stalled in the senate. So, heres the deal, democrats are hoping to exact concessions in this long laundry list of to do things and they got that extra seat from the alabama special election so that narrow margin is just down to one vote that the republicans hold in the senate. We will see what happens this as President Trump hopes he can get bipartisan support on the issue of infrastructure. It is anybodys guess. We will find out when lawmakers return in january a lot of back and forth and perhaps some compromise here, Griffey Jenkins, thank you.

Remember ps, people, pets, pipes, keep them all warm, do not leave your pets on it side in the cold like this and check your tire pressure and your car battery because they are very vulnerable in time of the cold weather. All that to keep in mind, now we do not have precipitation to talk about and we probably wont until the end of the week. So lets just talk temperature and wind chill. It is 11 degrees up in the mountains. It is 20s every where else but factor in the wind after 15 miles an hour in philadelphia, allentown, it bits same in wildwood and thinks what it feels like when we walk outside the door, it feels like 14 degrees in the city, 18 in wildwood, 4b low, up in the mountains, so that is what were dealing with, here, we did have our mild temperatures in the pennsylvania seven days but as we look ahead you wont see. That we got to the high of 40. We got to 32 and then 28 for a high tomorrow and then 24, for a High Temperature on thursday so with that cold air in place any disturbance that comes our way will probably be in the form of snow, were thinking friday night into say day morning. Models are different if you we will keep that in mine. Child mummers. Maybe a flurry or two. We will see what happens bob kelly but we can promise you very cold temperatures. All those feathers to keep them warm. 7 16.
