it's time now for what's the deal. are you ready for this? research shows that if you stick to all of your new year's resolutions you could save $25,000. yeah. 25 grand. did we get your attention? a financial analyst breaks it down into five categories that are apparently draining our finances. so let's start with smoking. they say that quitting will put about $12,000 back into your

he used a snow blower to make that huge pile of snow and then got to work. inside, listen to this. complete with lights, bunches, even yes, a fireplace. >> wait. there's a fireplace inside an igloo. >> inside that igloo you should see how warm it probably feels in there. when i was a kid we used to build things like that, we would get the wagon and the big bolders and make a little -- >> doesn't it seem a little counter protective putting a fire in the igloo. >> i would agree with that. let's get outside. you know if you want to be warm just stay indoors, right? looking back towards the center city skyline you can see some of the skyscrapers decorated in eagles green celebrating a victory against the falcons. off to the next round next week against either the new orleans saints or the minnesota vikings

and temperatures promise to be much, much warmer for that game. as a matter of fact there's a couple of forecast models that actually have us in the 60s by next sunday. 15 degrees right now in philadelphia with a dew point of 1. winds are out of the north northwest at 13 miles per hour and that's giving us, you combine these two right here, giving us a wind chill of 1 degree above. the 24-hour temperature change is impressive. 21 degrees colder in allentown than it was the same time yesterday. 42 degrees colder in toms river and 24 degrees cold inner wilmington. the actual temperatures look like this. 14 in wilmington, 12 in reading, 3 in philadelphia and 16 in millville. icy cold stuff right here, right over the mid atlantic states, the great lakes and the northern portions of the ohio valley. what will happen is the an area of pressure right there it's going to cut to the northeast just like this. that will provide us with a

little light snow tuesday evening into wednesday morning. the question is will that coastal low get involved and throw some moisture back in. the models are kind of split on that. one model says that could happen, several others say no. by the time the coastal low gets going it's too far off to the east. so we'll see what happens as we get closer. future tracker 6 showing absolutely nothing for today. mostly sunny skies, just cold temperatures. tomorrow we start out with sun that fades and here comes tuesday. during the morning hours it's just cloudy and cold. temperatures more than likely in the teens and 20s and that light snow starts overspreading the area from west to east. it's late in the afternoon in the evening hours, it's 9:00 in the evening, that's when the first flakes are flying between 8:00 and 9:00 in the philadelphia area, the i-95 corridor. as we fast-forward this through the midnight hour, still snowing

lightly across south jersey and that hits the coast and pull as way. if that is all we see from the system, maybe we get an inch out of that. so what we're looking at right now for this mid week snow threat, it's a late afternoon into the evening event. just a period of light snow, a couple of hours' worth. temperatures during the day will be above freezing. so initially some of this will probably melt. and again the big question will the coastal low develop. we'll this as we get closer to tuesday. mostly sunny and cold today. 27 degrees in philadelphia, 29 in millville, 24 in allentown. wind chill values really cold. 4:30 this afternoon feeling like 16 in philadelphia. 15 in allentown and 3 in the poconos and then as we get into the evening hours, 13 in philadelphia, 6 in allentown -4 in the poconos. even though we're forecasting

20s, it's going to feel like the teens. mainly clear and frigid tonight. 15 in wilmington, 12 for millville, 17 in philadelphia, 19 in cape may. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast. 27 degrees today with wind chills in the teens. still cold for tomorrow high of 30 increasing clouds. tuesday cloudy with snow developing late in the day. probably closer to sunset through the evening hours right now it appears it will be light. temperatures well above freezing. we're showing 39. wednesday clouds to sun 32. thursday is still brisk with a high of 33 and here comes the warm-up. friday 44, saturday 50. right now forecast models have 59 or 60 for sunday. i believe that is the eagles will play next sunday. >> yeah. there we go. >> the temple basketball team took time to recognize nurses.
