come to stop. and then another way that we teach people is by turning, you turn, turn, turn, turn, you ends upper deck hear. as we said before if your skis are pointing down the hill you go down f they're pointing up the hill you go down backward, be mindful of that. >> we want to be that way. >> turning slowings your speed down, stay in control, and your that you're safe and have good time out on the slopes. >> can we give our skiers a little tease, i'll try to get going here, but try to get going by the photographer now. if i don't face plant you guys. so i just turn my skis this way? >> point them down the hill. i'll be right here, next to you, if you need. >> let me put -- i got it. >> so you don't want it cross your tips. that's good way toned up on the ground. >> okay. >> so give yourself little kick. feel the front of your shins against your boots, just start gliding, don't look down. look where you want to go. >> my first mistake. if you look down, you might end up following your eyes down, so just slide forward. >> this isn't bad.

any feet like this the whole way. so that's what i do, yes. all right, let's gave you a sense of what the ski forecast looks like, put things into motion, our sweet know board goes right across the graphic there. starting off with a little bit of sunshine, breaks for more clouds or yields to more cloud cover as our next storm arrives, likely bridges in potential for little hint of icing tonight into tomorrow, giles, so if you are traveling, keep that in mine. we will also end up with temperatures little bit warmer as time goes on, nothing more than fog and shower on saturday. but heavier rain sunday. so if you are trying to get your skis in this weekend, i highly suggest doing it either today or tomorrow. let's talk bit more very quickly about that freezing rain and snow concern. just hint of it, absolute worse, talking maybe up to tent of an inch of glaze, and definitely less than inch of snow, because eventually again the warmth will take over. we don't have a the love moisture anyway. we will also end up with more rain eventually. but, there could be some slick travel out that way. so do keep it in mind. quickly checking in with eyewitness weather watchers, we do have somebody at least

closer to the poconos checking in with us this morning, charles checking in with a lot of clouds this morning, naught bath pa with 32 degrees, temperatures little hint milder this morning, 40 degrees coming in from dave. he is in reading, saying at this point his dew .31.5. welcoming and saying good morning to ever one, not terrible start to the morning, decent start he is saying. 40 degrees comes in from another dave, david dutch in out in clementon, new jersey, also reporting more clouds than anything. let's jump ahead here. we take a look what's going on with storm scan. very quickly, i'll jump it back, here we go, here is the storm system, ushering in warmth with time. that's why we're expecting primarily a rainmaker out of this storm. if you want any ice you got to go far north to those mountains, as we mention, but it is going to be a soggy start to the second half of the weekend here, but 60 degrees. not a terrible trade off meisha. guess it depend who you ask, though, right? >> trade off, right, the rain, but you got 60s in january. i don't know. i guess.
