ical icily, but i kept more during that period. and i realized 90% of what i wrote in the diary when i would come home and sit down by myself late at night, i couldn't write. >> mr. biden said he wrote the book to show other people who have gone through similar experiences that you can find home and purpose after suffering a personal loss. now we have a cloudy and damp start to the week, all across the area. some places have seen the rain end already, and others are going to have to wait a little bit. it's 41 with a little bit of light rain or drizzle and philadelphia at the parairport officially, but only 39 at some of the p.a. suburbs, lehigh, berks county, a little bit more rain in south jersey than other parts of the area. the coldest places are in berks county, lehigh valley, and close to the freezing mark this morning. but not quite.

so, you're spared the icing. warnersville right now at 35 degrees. leonardsville, leesport, balance d and reading at 38. allentown, 38. white hall, 39. easton and bethlehem, 37. so it certainly hasn't warmed up at all. and it's not going to warm up much more, until we get rid of these clouds. and we're not seeing any clearing until we get into central pennsylvania. and that clearing may take just about all day. berks county, parts of the lehigh valley, poconos, you may see a little bit of clearing toward the end of the day. the rest of the area may end up with a fair amount of clouds. we still have rain in new jersey here, in mercer county, burlington county. we're seeing it end to the west, although the clouds linger and you could get a few drizzle drops. here's the futurecast. we get through the afternoon and

into the night. again, nothing more than a couple of sprinkles this afternoon and then we get the clearing, but then, that's right around when the sun sets. so, it may just be bad timing here. then we clear out tonight, sets us up for a nicer day tomorrow. we're talking about sunshine, we're talking about temperatures actually getting into the 50s, in many parts of the area, and, that will feel a whole lot better than those 30s and low 40s today. here we are tomorrow, with kind of a mix of clouds and sun. it's not going to be a totally sunny day, but it's certainly going to be better than today is. and then, wednesday, we have a fair amount of sunshine, as well, with some clouds moving in later. and the first chance of rain that we have is some showers wednesday night. for tomorrow, up to 51 in fairmount, 50 in shanksville and langhorne. 51 in easton and allentown. 49 in reading. these temperatures are still

below normal for this time of the year. vorhees, robbinsville at 50, wildwood, 50. same thing with rehoboth beach and dover. so, nobody is close to 60 degrees for a good while here. that's the kind of pattern that we have. so in philadelphia, we're going from the mid-40s today to the low-50s tomorrow. a little bit higher on wednesday. so temperatures are creeping up during the week. no big warm-up coming. it looks like the warmest day over the next week is going to be saturday, where we may hit 60. all right, how do you spend your day off? still ahead, we're going to show you how an eagles star kicks back during a well-deserved b d week. plus, a man and a woman both go into cardiac arrest and fall to the ground in public. one is more likely to get cpr than the other. ahead, what local researchers found out about how bystanders react. she never let anything slow her down.

need some special help. once they go through the traumatic experience of losing a parent, there's not a lot out there for them to be supported by. and we want everyone to know that there are groups like family lives on foundation and others who can help them through this grief journey. >> renee, talk to us about your nephew and how the organization is helping him. >> oh, it's been a tremendously positive involvement in this progr program. they started with family lives on when he was 7 and has been having our family tradition every year after that. and he chose to have a family pool party that he used to do with his mother every year. so through them, we're able to keep that tradition going. >> so talk a little bit more about this tradition program. is it something you did with the parent, you keep doing, or something new to remember the parent and why that's really critical. >> yeah, it's actually a

tradition, something they did more than once with the parent. something that's very special and organic to each child. we do the program specifically child focused. it's all about what they remember, and you know, what are the things that will help reignite the five senses. what did they eat while they were playing with the leg goes. what do they remember when they were flying kites on the beach? what were the smells and sounds? it's very important for children to be able to maintain that connection. and we find as the years go on, the children really experience those traditions with joy, and reck the life story of the parent, not really the death story. that's our life focus and goal. >> doing some great work. thank you both for being here. >> thank you for having us. >> david is actually going to receive a $500 scholarship at family lives on 20th anniversary celebration. that is this friday night november 17th at 6:30 p.m. it's at the people's light and theater company in malvern,

rain is moving out, the clouds are hanging in. 42 with cloudy skies in philadelphia. still only 39 in parts of lehigh valley and some of the pennsylvania suburbs. more rain in new jersey than elsewhere. in philadelphia itself, 42 at the airport, but it's andorra, west mt. ari, chestnut hill. 42 in bustleton and torresdale. some of these places will get maybe into the upper 40s, but that's about it. there's some fog around, but nobody has any dense fog. quakertown and pottstown have a two-mile visibility. reading, three miles. officially at philly international, three, two miles in mt. holly. so the visibilities will be improving today in the afternoon. wildwood, atlantic city have the worst visibilities and will take the longest for them to improve. that large area of rain that came through overnight, that is offshore now. got a few flakes in the poconos.

there's the drier air moving in from the north and west. but the clouds covering much of the region. the rain continues to move out every hour it gets closer to being out in the ocean. so, we're seeing less and less in lower bucks county and in burlington county, for example. by 3:00, it should be all out of here, but the clouds are there. and then by 5:00 to k5:30, we'r getting a little bit of clearing in poconos and berks county, but the sun sets around 5:00, so we're not going to be getting the advantage of that and seeing the sunshine. the skies clear tonight, and so that allows us to start the day off with sunshine tomorrow. but there'll be a mix of sun and clouds. it will be warmer, but still below average for this time of the year. then on wednesday, again, a mix of sun and clouds. we've got a system coming in from the west, so there could be a couple of showers wednesday night. nothing big.

and that's pretty much the only chance of rain this week. for tomorrow, no rain anywhere, chestnut hill, only 49, reading, 49. those will be some of the coolest places where some places today are barely going to get out of the 30s. 52 in buna and avalon. 54 degrees in newark, delaware. over the next four days, the average high temperature is about 57. so let's see where we are. we're not going to quite get there. it's not really bitter cold, but it's generally dry, all the way through the rest of the week. and in delaware, same story, allentown, same story, although we could get some showers by later on friday. the big front is coming in on saturday, as you'll see here. the temperatures gradually going up this week and then saturday,

we are seeing temperatures going up near 60 and then we cool down for thanksgiving week and thanksgiving itself could end up being pretty chilly. we'll be right back. i saw the change in rich when we moved into the new house.
