spending the day with my niece. i don't use super poligrip for hold because my dentures fit well. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. even well-fitting dentures let in food particles. super poligrip is zinc free. with just a few dabs, it's clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. so it's not about keeping my dentures in, it's about keeping the food particles out. [ charlie ] try zinc free super poligrip.

you know in our darkest moments sometimes we shine. it may take a lifetime to understand that lesson but a girl gets it at just nine years old. she has more on the mission of lauren's luggage. >> reporter: she gets a tour of fire station 7. she is into teddy bears, never did she dream of trucks until her home went up en flames. >> i lost basically everything.

there were only a few things that were able to be saved. >> reporter: she makes a few trips around the trucks as a thank you from the men and women in uniform, their gear, their bunkers. she has become like family at many fire stations in maryland. >> it was one of the worst days of our lives. to see the kids lose things we'll never be able to replace. >> reporter: they found those basic items were most important when their lives were shifted to a hotel. lauren and blanket and stuffed animals, one month after her fire, she started stuffing bags with essentials that now firefighters can handout to other victims. >> we appreciate you stopping by and bringing these bags for us and we wanted to give you this little thank you card. >> $100 gift card so she can do more shopping. >> having a stuffed animal at night is a huge deal.

>> it is from the ashes here that a nine-year-old girl meet teach us all one of life's greatest lessons. >> it is like the kindness in your heart. you never lose that. you can lose every item you have, but you never lose the kindness of your heart. >> reporter: that is a lesson from a nine-year-old girl. cheryl connor abc2news. >> at nine years old, unbelievable. the family now renting a home. lauren is using social media to spread the word about her mission. if you want to help, we have the link on abc2.com. and now maryland's most accurate forecast. >> we'll take you outside. not much happening. lots of clouds entering the western horizon. fell another degree. 37degrees in town. still bone dry. it is going to take time for precipitation to move in. just about miles per hour.

today 42, a below average day. 66 in the books back in 1960. take a look at temperatures across town. while it is 41 in baltimore city. going to the outlying areas, a little bit of a concern. northand west from 70 to manchester, your temperatures now below freezing so that means any precipitation that enters the area, that could maybe fall in the form of freezing drizzle. be aware of that tomorrow morning. here are the clouds coming in now. notice cloudy skies hour by hour forecharacter. cloudy skies giving way to showers after midnight. watch temperatures rise at 38 going to 45 around lunchtime. i think our afternoon high gets to around 50, maybe 55 degrees. not bad before cold air moves in. showers arrive late tonight. you go under a freezing rain advisory. then we'll return to an active maybe snowy pattern. i'll show you that and seven-

day forecast. it is clear overhead but look down to the south from jackson, mississippi active tornado warnings, all along the gulf coast states. this will provide us some rain late tonight. warm front, cold front. running into cooler air. temperatures falling into the 30s, 34 new york city. 40s and down to 60 in charleston, south carolina. that is the mild air coming into cold air. that es why maybe some freezing drizzle north and west of town. that is well north and west of the beltway so if you have a commute to the north, just note it could be a slick commute tomorrow morning. rain showers and again ice pellets developing during the morning commute and then warming up. cloudy skies for much of the day tomorrow. then clearing going into tuesday. then another storm system. area of low pressure going from

wednesday into valentine's day will develop off the carolina coastline. there are two tracks. that would bring it up to the coast. that would mean some sleet, maybe some snow. this would be wednesday into thursday while the european takes this off shore. this storm will be down to the south and east. then another storm will develop into the latter portion of this week. so the call is 28. be coming cloudy, light rain develops and by tomorrow double nickels. well above average. around 28 tomorrow night so cooler air funnels in behind that front. so your seven-day forecast, breezy, cooler on tuesday, 45. there is that storm again. staying south, but look at the guidance around 11:00. we'll take a brake from the storms and then another storm to watch over the weekend. it does look like it could be white if it moves up the coast, around the freezing mark. could this be the storm that brings a few inches? certainly possible. we will have to take a look at

11:00. >> how close were we to this? >> new jersey got ten inches, that is two hours north of us. >> it could have shifted. >> it could have. >> a week ago the ravens were in new orleans. i think i'm still there. they are playing in the super bowl. this is one party city. one week later they are marching down the city streets celebrating mardi gras, parades and thousands of people packing it into see the floats. we were there. some ravens fans are still on the float. the parades started january 19th. they had to take a break for the super bowl week. the culmination is coming up fat tuesday, that is coming up tuesday. much more news at 6:30. we'll be right back. fors portion slow you down? try miralax. mirlax works differently than other laxatives. it draws water into your colon to unblock your system naturally. don't wait to feel great. miralax.
