how we'll all be effected. >> reporter: president obama signed the bill, quickly defended his compromise with the republicans. republicans take over the house in january. here's a look from ab expert at what this plan will mean for you. [ applause ] >> reporter: signed and ready to go. an $858 billion tax plan expected to help the rich, the middle class, the unemployed. >> it's 72 pages of legal ease. >> reporter: tax attorney albert grasso is on his third page of those provisionings presidents it will extend the bush era tax cuts for two years. extend unemployment benefits and lower the social security and estate tax rate. it's that last one that grasso thinks most americans will notice immediately. >> this represents a tax reduction because you're going

to see a 2% decrease in the social security taxes. >> reporter: the president telling reporters today without the tax deal, the average american would have had to pay an average $3000 next year. >> that wouldn't have just been a blow to them. it would have been a blow to our economy just as we're climbing out of a devastating recession. >> reporter: but extending the bush era cuts came with some criticism. most have liberals who say obama wasn't tough enough with republicans. tonight the criticism from grasso is simple. to stimulate the economy, you've got to think long-term. >> all these rules are only good for two years. that doesn't encourage long- range planning. and we've got to get out of this look at the cycle in a one or two year basis. if you really wanted to do something taxwise, these are the rules for the next five years. >> reporter: okay. so here's an example. tonight in actual dollars a

married couple with two kids and some investments making $70,000 a year would save $8200 in taxes combined. meanwhile, with many of the provisions expiring in 2012 as you heard there, you can bet it will be a hot topic during the presidential election. >> thanks official business keeping the president from flying to hawaii to start the holidays. first lady michelle will leave for honolulu tomorrow with the kids and first dog bo. president obama will wait until the session in congress is done which could be next wednesday. the first family is expected back january 1. chicago home for the holidays now. 10,000 turkeys and hams gave away today. they've been doing it for 46 years. this year's organized by jesse white. for the past 21 years mayor daley has visited children at the hospital during the holidays. this will be his last holiday

what was slimmer was the effort to rescue a wild animal. as holly kept going, so did the team assigned to the task including the fire boat that was to take animal control to the scene. >> we cheered it on as the boat got near. at one point he tried to make a swim in to shore. then he found another ice float and got back on. >> reporter: once it was there it didn't take long to get holly on board. >> once they got him on, it was like the coyote was happy to be out of the water. >> reporter: then back to land where she was taken to the veterinarian for some tlc. >> i'm sure the firefighters feel good about themselves even though it was a die yet. you never get that close to a coyote even at the zoo. so they're kind of excited. >> reporter: shawn lewis, wgn news. >> we learned that holly suffered some frostbite but that's it. she's now being cared for at the flint creek wildlife center

as well as trouble breathing. there's times where it's intense and times he says we need to bring you down a bit. >> reporter: for sarah and the others that brett teaches, judo is a great activity. but it's brett that makes the big difference. >> he has this thing about him that he comes up to you and there's a kind factor there. not a lot of people have that. not that you can tell right away. >> judo's main principal is whatever we take from the sport we put back into the community. you don't realize how blessed and lucky you are sometimes you'll be happy to throw a little pity party for yourself. you're having a rough day and you see these kids and adults that very dealt a tough hand and they're not complaining. they're working and trying to live a regular life.

aflac! more snow down the pike, huh? >> could be. we've got two winter systems left to watch. it's interesting they'll come in close to the rain/snow line. but the pineapple express is running. it's starting to slam the west coast with big rains. we'll explain that to you. it could be the beginning of wetter weather here. and in aspen, colorado where these pictures come from. look at the snow pack out there. all the mountain ranges out west will get some. and in europe, the big snows

continue to come. from tuscany, they got these pictures. that might be the biggest snowstorm there since the 80s. it's one of areas out we that have been struggling with the weather that's been going on. so we're not alone with our rough winter. beautiful day here in chicago. it's been cold, but it's not been barbaric. and we had a lot of sunshine today around the area. that's pretty much how the weekend looks. not extreme. we've had much colder in the chicago area. going to be a good weekend for that last minute shopping before the holidays. we're expecting single digits even a subzero temperature west of the city. 15 of he -- the 17 days this month have been below. that's when the suns rays far

as far south on the planet as they will. 47% of the united states is covered by snow. look at the snow from last weekend's blizzard to the west of us. in syracuse, new york, they've had over 70 inches of snow. and that is already they're snowiest month of december. and the big storm here moving through canada is coming off that snow pack bringing the winds here. that's why we're cold. look at this off the west coast indicated by the isobars. you can see we've got action going on. but not right away. this big vortex here will rotate northwest winds and on a couple of impulses tomorrow afternoon could bring flurries into the area. here's what's going on out west. this could have a profound impact on our weather. this is called the pineapple express. hawaii sits there. that's where the name comes from. this comes from the pacific into the west. when that thing develops and

rides the jet stream like this into the country, you get impulses that move across the country and you've got to watch those. we've had a couple pass by us in the past few days. this could set up snow monday for us. there are advisories out west where they expect snow in feet. look at this forecast from the weather service's gfs model. of total rainfall. there will be places in california that may get 12- inches of rain. 8 or more inches of rain at the base of the mountains in the sierra. and that will all be snow. and ten days of total snowfall off the model, you see how we get more snow than usual in our area as well. that will come in a whole series of systems. during the day we've had forecast the next two weaks could see a total in this area. it's cold but not barbarically so.

see it's 7 degrees cooler than 24 hours ago. and much of the country has been cooler than 24 hours ago as this cold air comes down off the snow pack. west winds at 10 but they're fading away. that's why we're cooling off. with a water temperature at 33 as shawn lewis reported earlier, that was a factor in that coyote being out there on the ice flow today. and we have ice flows all over the west end of the lake. we also will have lake snows blowing into parts of michigan, not indiana so much. but these won't be as heavy as what we saw last week. down to 6 at rochelle. it's 8 at kankakee. o'hare's at 14 with a 13 at midway airport. a 16 at gary. a 10 at mchenry at this hour. and look at the view out west. this is nevada. you can see the snow-covered mountain in that area. we'll tell you more about this weather system that's coming at us on monday. one of two that could be bringing us some snow.

be another one possibly on christmas eve and it could spill into christmas day. it's been about eight years since we've had an inch or more of snow on christmas eve or christmas day. and 59 years since an 8-inch either of the holidays. that's interesting. even though 46% of our christmases have an inch of snow on the ground and are considered white christmases as a result. minus one tonight in the coldest locations. 10 near the loop. tomorrow sunshine with some clouds in the afternoon. riding those northwest winds in the area and a flurry. a high of 22. west winds tomorrow 10-18. partly cloudy and a few flurries and 12 tomorrow night. partly sunny and continued cold sunday. a high of 24. most hours will be pretty nice this weekend. could get a bit of snow on

monday-monday night. could go to drizzle before that patch is over. more on that in the update coming up. happy friday, guys. >> you too. coming up: skinny cow? not so much. clue in to the label let down. how to read them right so you don't get fooled by fancy names. also president obama talks about bo's business on the white house lawn.

obama telling some virginia elementary schooler what it's like being the leader of the free world when he had to talk about taking dog bo for a walk on the white house lawn. so from the president's lips to -- >> -- your ears. >> sometimes i run around with bo. sometimes i have to scoop up his poop. because i don't want to just leave it in the lawn. so if you guys have a dog, you got to walk your dog too. and clean up after him a little bit. >> yep. he said it. >> he's a pooper scooper. >> the president said the word. >> poop. >> tom, skilling what's your word? >> any of us who walk dogs know what the president is talking about. absolutely. the word is here a quiet weekend weatherwise. no blizzards, no lake effect snow. other than michigan. and there will be snow showers there.

see how the downwind areas get some lake effect snows. but high pressure dominates. you'll see that low developing out to the west. we can take you into the formation of that band of snow. see it coming together and approaching us by 10:00 a.m. monday and coming in during the afternoon. looks now like that might snow for several hours on us at a good clip. then change over to drizzle late monday night. but you can get several inches of snow. there's the snowfall for the weekend. and here we'll show you the two systems to effect us next week. that one the isobars start wrapping around it right there. this is a blot where the winds are the strongest. so we get a good gusty wind going here both on monday and tuesday behind the system when the winds go northeast. then the high passes over us right there. and the next system comes in. and this is the one that has the crack at producing some snow christmas eve and maybe christmas day. so we'll keep an eye on that. thought you might be interested in this. this is a first guess of how much snow might come down from

that first system. don't carve this in stone. but this is the guidance we look at as we approach these weather systems. bill snyder as we look at this ten day animation of the cold aired in place pointed out this is on the way to becoming the fourth above normal snowy december here. 4.2 is normal by now. we've had over 6. we'll not add a lot to that although there could be flurries tomorrow afternoon and a few periods sunday night. a better chance of snow going over drizzle is monday afternoon and part of monday night into tuesday morning. then back to snow showers again and look forward to friday for the next system. very active pattern with this pineapple express. could be a lot of weather action the next couple of weeks. have a great weekend. >> you too. coyotes and cubs today. >> also a tragedy and triumph captured by tribune
