i drive to the hoop. i drive a racecar. i have a driver. his name is carl. but that's not what we all have in common. we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. i couldn't have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you

take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. dramatic new video from southern california, this truck was trapped as a geyser was trapped beneath it.

fortunately the pole did not crash down on the truck, they had to cut the wires before they capped the hydrant, he is at the hospital now as a precaution. david murphy is back now and the conditions are ripe for snow but not enough to stick. >> the temperatures at the surface are just too mild for that. maybe a couple of slick spots up there, poconos a different story. it will stick in the mountains. there is already precipitation showing up and as we look at the two dimensional view, there is rain in south jersey and maryland for now, as i go in tighter, you can get a better look at that. we look at a changeover to snow, as you get past oxford chester county. it's not all that heavy just yet but you start to see the flakes, that is something on twitter a

while ago, i think i saw one single flake, if you are not out there in reading and western pennsylvania, that is all you are getting now. as we go later into the afternoon this snow you see starting to built in from the west, it's intense and grassy surface coverage especially in the northern and western suburbs. sky 6 hd in center city, you see the cloud cover has started to dig in over the last hour hour and a half. we have sun and it's getting more gray now. it was really cold at dawn but we have improved with the southerly flow, up to 14 miles per hour and breezy, at least for now sts bringing in the milder air, in terms of precipitation, not a lot going on right now, 3:00 there is a chance it pushes in from the west, and the model shows we are talking about a spotty

precipitation pattern, it doesn't always get exactly where and when these things will be, but as you look at this moving through 6:00 and then at 10:00, it's spotty precipitation every now and then and the farther south you have the better chance of it mixing with rain. by 10:00 we expect it to be over toward the east but adam joseph will be on channel 17 with stormtracker 6 live double scan just in case there is a lagging is cell. flakes in the air, anywhere from philadelphia to the south but it likely won't stick here and if we get a coating it will be on the grassy surfaces up north, and the farther you get to the poconos, the more rareful you have to be. temperatures in the 40s in the cooler suburbs, we expect mainly wet roads and slick spots possible especially on the hill tops. 38 in allentown and 39 in

reading and cape may and philadelphia, 42 degrees by 3:00, and 37 by 5:00 and 37 by 7:00 and 9:00 we'll be down around the freezing mark and the overnight low is 24 degrees, if are you out riding or walking, everything is damp so be careful about that. the problem tomorrow is how cold it will feel, windchills in the teens all day long, as cold air rushes behind this evening's snow maker, afternoon rain or snow shower is possible extending into the evening as you saw probably done at 10:00 or so, and little impact, take it slow if you happen to be caught in a snow shower. and blustery and cold tomorrow and high of 1-. feeling like the single digits today and tomorrow. thursday morning looks cold but in the afternoon we improve to 41 and 48 with sun and clouds on

friday, and friday night rain extending into saturday morning and you get a high of 52, down into the 40s sunday and 30s on monday mlk day rick. >> thank you. in virginia, a 5-year-old girl helped to save her grandmother when she suddenly fell ill. she was visiting her granddaughter when hankin suddenly collapsed and her granddaughter called for help but they could not get in the apartment building, so the little girl took the elevator downstairs and let them in. she is doing fine and is thankful for her granddaughter's actions and quick thinking. and the -- is not a hot commodity, the asking price has dropped from $400,000 to
