because of the bitter cold. "eyewitness news" reporter alycia nieves is live along the parade route on broad street where fans are braving the cold for a front row seat to all the action. hi, alycia. >> reporter: rahel, it is cold out here. we see people out here drinking their hot cocoa, drinking their coffee trying to stay warm. some even doing things like putting hand warmers in their gloves. others just o jogging in place all for this and it seems to be well worth it. 120 year administration unique to philadelphia is under way right now. >> happy new year to the delaware valley from your mummers. >> reporter: bands and performers dancing down broad street for the mummers parade entertaining a sprinkling of fans standing on the sidelines most of whom clearly decided not to let the subzero temperatures stop them from experiencing the one of a kind annual show. >> it didn't stop us. but it's really cold so we bought a lot of gear over the

past couple weeks just so we could be ready. >> reporter: with fans coming prepared to weather the weather mummers made sure this morning they were just as ready to perform in case of philly tradition going strong. >> i've got five layers all the under armour material and it feels really good. they always say no cotton. the under armour feels really good and a lot of layers, a lot of insulation between and the air between makes you feel nice and warm. >> reporter: and this is my first mummers parade. the group just passed gave me this nice flag. this is quite a show. it is a bit cold but right now from the people we've seen here, these amazing mummers, it seems to be worth it. reporting live in center city, alycia nieves cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> love the enthusiasm and the guy behind you, too, looks like he's having a good time. thank you. well, 2018 starting the way 2017 ended cold. meteorologist kate fehlinger joins us with a look at the

temperatures. i think a question a lot of people have is when is this going to end. >> it looks like it's going to be awhile at the moment anyway our forecast does not call for a day that hits the freezing mark yet. we'll come very close and maybe we'll get lucky and reach it. isn't it bizarre we're wishing for just freezing conditions at this point and right now it's still very, very cold outside. any snow that had fallen in the recent days that's not going anywhere, at least not yet. 13 is the current temperature at whitfield elementary school. school not in session right now but this is a good idea of what you'll see in a lot of different parking lots if you're going out doing post holiday shopping here perhaps you'll run into this. here are your actual air temperatures. you'll notice the wind bars coming out of the northwest. that northwest wind flow keeps things feeling extra chilly. that's what you need to count in for a wind chill here today but technically we're into the teens almost everywhere. as the day progresses, the daytime high, well, we're actually pretty close to where we connect to top off today. the temperature 19 for the high, in full sunshine at least but brutally cold air

will continue to be a running theme for our area. now, in the days ahead, yes, there will be at least a modest retreat from the worst of the chill that we're facing right now but it will eventually get reinforced and we will in fact also have to deal with the possibility of snow come midweek, too. there's a nor'easter that's set to develop midweek. wednesday into thursday the possibility is there that we get clipped by that storm system. i'll have much more on the track of that as it currently stands and how much snow we might be talking about. >> katie thank you. hundreds of thousands of people braved the cold to watch the ball drop in new york's times square. some revelers ushered in the new year with a kiss. others seemed to just be happy to take part in the festivities. the security was tight during the event. revelers in los angeles said hello to the new year with a dance party.

about 30 units here in this apartment complex are without power and have been without power since a little bit after 1 o'clock just the first hour into 2018. we are in single digit wind chills right now, a miserable scene for the people that live here, probably over a hundred people if you figure at least two or three people live in each home. the good news, though, i spoke to a manager who works here at this apartment complex, he told me that most of the people have evacuated, have left this area, gone with family, friends, so it's not like many people are sitting inside these apartments without power right now. but being in the single digit wind chill it's very difficult. peco crews are here. they have been working here for several hours hoping to restore the power to this apartment complex behind me. reporting live in northeast philadelphia, david spunt cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> all right, david, thank you. and authorities in monmouth county say a 16-year-old boy suspected in the fatal shooting of four people including his own parents will be charged in the

more about that scenario coming up. >> ♪

. >> katie is back. still cold out there. >> still cold. this is where we thought maybe we would be bottoming out. looks like there's a few days down the road where the cold gets so reinforced it might be colder than it is now. >> i don't even know what that is. >> i know. at this point it's like you can't even wrap your head around. wait until i show you some of the feels-like values we're finding across the northern high planes and parts of canada. it's just ridiculous how cold it is but looking live right now at ocean city, i was interested in showing you this

camera because are there still -- yeah, there are still folks wandering around on the boardwalk which i thought was interesting. it just goes to show, you know, the cold is for some people they love it to be out in it no matter how harsh it is and certainly if you are adequately prepared and adequately bundled up you can in fact handle this but i could tell in both david's as well as alycia's live reports their lips were starting to get numb just over the span of the minute that they were talking to us live on the air so it's that kind of cold that all of a sudden you start to lose sense of your own body because it's just so harsh. but let's move over, talk about a little bit in terms of statistic information when it comes to january. this is climatologically speaking the coldest month we get all year long. we would normally average out to a high of 40. doesn't that sound like the most balmy temperature that we've ever heard of right now. i mean, it's crazy that we're wishing for it just to climb above freezing at this point but that's where we normally will average out. it's the second snowiest month on average february is the first and january 15th to 20th

are typically your coldest days of the year when we're bottoming out with that average high. so, maybe that's something to look ahead to keep in mind in mind it all boils down to a climate trend and if we are going to have an above average air mass come through, we may not see the coldest days come 15th to 20th this month. they might even be happening over the span of the next seven but the feels-like values right now have at least in most spots since gone into positive territory. everybody was feeling like it was below zero over the course of the early morning. the wind chill advisory has gone out of effect but this is still pretty harsh. still only feels like it's four at the airport, one in atlantic city, five at wildwood and mount pocono course takes the cake. difficult to grasp cold, this is it. it feels like it's 37 below zero mooseonee: i mean, you lose colors on the map. it's so cold.

so, again, really, really brutal especially if you have flight plans, you're headed out that way for whatever reason. there's a really charge section of the united states that's still sitting in a wind chill advisory or warning right now basically to the center of the country but there's no major storm moving through right now. i had mentioned earlier in the show there will eventually be a new storm system that develops and that is going to play a little bit of -- just back and forth into the center of the atlantic potentially bringing us snow in the days ahead. right now there's nothing more than a little lake enhancement going on down wind of some of those great lake regions. here's a look at the storm. we're taking you all the way to thursday. as it gets early as wednesday night though we could start to see the storm system ushering in the potential of some snow. this is not a guarantee. this is a model run. that's important to note but it's one of the models that brings snow in for our area in the days ahead. wednesday night into thursday. that would be a very, very powerful nor'easter storm system. the models continue to differ at least a little bit on the exact track. the general idea is that it is

going to go northeast but even a matter of a couple miles could really make or totally bust our forecast. so it's going to be something that needs to be monitored. stick with us as far as i'm concerned but behind all of this the frigid air returns on friday and you'll see that reflected in our seven-day. quick check on your travel forecast. this is the last day we're doing it through the holidays. if you'll be taking a flight the northeast looks good. it's just freezing cold and it's so cold you're only up to the freezing mark in atlanta and even dallas doesn't hit freezing. we're down only in single digits up in minneapolis chicago, lots of sunshine though at least so flight plans should be okay today. the warmest spot at least of all of throws goes to sky harbor the desert where july to find temperatures in the 70's. here locally you need to warm up your car. you'll see sunshine for the next couple days until that next storm system comes along and quickly checking for the rest of today, the high 19. later on tonight, we'll drop it down to 12, clear but very cold. and then again we begin to rebound but don't get too used to that.

come friday and saturday, especially, we're right back where we started. and look at that, it will probably even be a few degrees colder than we're calling for today. >> thanks katie. >> i know, it's tough. >> just in the nick of time "star wars: the last jedi" has become the highest grossing film of 2017. it has brought in 13 million more than "beauty and the beast."

>> [laughter] >> katie, let me ask you this. [laughter] >> all right. >> when is it going to get warmer. >> not necessarily in the seven-day unless you look at it from just an at face value approach here. we won't hit the freezing mark even by wednesday but we at least come close to it. so it's not as harsh for the entire forecast. we are going to see this just get reinforced again and we again are looking at the possibility, it's still a chance that we see some snow wednesday night into thursday morning from a very large very potent storm which thankfully it would bring only a glancing blow even at the worst case scenario so just let that sink in. >> let that sink in. i like it. thanks katie. well, that's "eyewitness news" at noon. i'm rahel solomon for katie and all of us here thanks for watching. >> "eyewitness news" continues at 5:00 we're always online at cbsphilly.com. >> the young and the restless is next. happy new year. stay warm. we'll see you tomorrow. >> ♪
