for them. cape cod really getting hammered. temperatures this morning are very chilly. mainly in the low 40s. that's pretty close to our high temperature yesterday. winds are out of the north and these are gusts which at times, not sustained winds, but at times we're seeing them up to 36 miles an hour in allentown, 49 miles an hour in philadelphia that's down at the airport in south philly. 36 mile per hour wind gusts, that 40 will not be uncommon as we start to go through the morning. the winds start to pick up as the sunrises and the ground heats up. but there won't be a lot of heating. in fact it will be chilly when you factor in the wind with our cool temperatures. 31 is what it feels like, 32 in trenton, 37 in wildwood.

most of the day will feel like the 30s. yes we have a lot of sunshine. but it remains very windy as we go through tonight and into tight temperatures really drop off. we've got a freeze warning in effect for some of our area. in enthuse morning there's a man recovering after being shot in the head. police say the man, who may have been shot in his car, they believe he drove himself to temple hospital. right now the man is in stable condition. hospital officials in new york say a doctor who become infected with ebola is now in stable condition. dr. craig spencer has been at bellevue. he's been receiving therapies that have been effective in treating ebola patients in atlantic and nebraska. fox 29 helping you decide with election day just two days away and the race for pennsylvania governor red hot

with republican incan you be bent -- public relations expert joining us right now to talk about this race. lots of political cartoons, and all over twitter. you've been tracking and following them. first of all, good morning to you. >> good morning. i think we'll all about glad in two days when we can move on and see different things on television besides these incredible ads and cartoons. >> that's the truth. let's get to some of these pictures right now. this one is a corbitt one is that says my career ends when teachers get off work. >> number one issue, at least probably until the end of the campaign, we're going to talk about taxes too, has been education cuts. or the assumption that education

has been cut. public education certainly here in philadelphia is the number one issue. it's really going to excite the democratic base to come out because they believe that corbett. >> if you put in a hash tag, all of these come up right now. this is pennsylvania governor raise my taxes now. how about that one? >> wolf. the big theng for corbett, and this is where -- tomorrow wolf has admitted he is going to propose a raise in the income taxes. the unknown is sweary to a lot of voters, so tom corbett is doing a good job of raises the issues your taxes might be raised. >> they make you chuckle. this one says pennsylvania

governors cut 2.1 billion from public education while handing out 3.1 billion in corporate tax breaks annually. this is one of the things that gets people so fired up. >> there's a difference between the haves and have notes. it goes to tt heart of people's emotions saying wait a minute the big businesses get tax breaks and we believe you're cutting funding for families that are sending their kids to school and don't have enough supplies, things like that. it really is very emotional and can be very effective. >> last one. we'll put it up right now. this is the last one we have right now. the wolf man, what do you think of this one? >> it's effective. i mean, remember at this point there's only two days left. people aren't really changing their minds. it's about getting what we call in politics your bait. republicans to vote republican, democrats to vote democrats.

it's all about getting your voters out on election day so they're going right to the heart of the argument, there's out to the polls. so these cartoons, look, we're talking about them now, they can be very effective and they're very simple. >> we always appreciate your insight. you sort of hone right in on what's salient about it all. thank you. >> good morning. >> and continue to join our conversation. just use that hashtag fox29weekend. >> reporter: you can bet it's going to be a packed house here when obama stops by to stump for wolf. it's going to be a test of the president's ability to energize

voters. voters tend to stay home as we all know during a nonpresidential election so he's hoping to rally those voters. obama is the fourth high profile democrat to campaign for wolf. both clintons and michelle obama have done so in recent weeks, wolf leads corbett in the polls but the governorer is getting some star power of his own. chris christie will be in bucks county at a campaign event for corbett at 8 tonight. that rally at the spring mill man or on jacksonville road. back here live, even if you haven't been following the governor's race closely, if you live in the state, you've heard the campaign ads, you've seen the signs, and really heard all the ralying cries.

so tonight both candidates really bring out the big dogs for this one final push. lauren? >> thanks so much. controversial comments on "saturday night live" this morning chris rock is trending on twitter. what the comic said that has many people saying "too soon." >> good morning. i'm dr. mike. did you know that up to 50% of people who take antidepressants known as certify continue up take inhibitors don't respond. what we need to do is have these people eat fatty fish. why? if you consume fish like tuna and sal man, you actually respond better to these antidepressants. did you know that 80% of americans with high blood pressure know they have it but they don't get treated for it? you need to go to see your

doctor or nurse practitioner. a new study showed that if you go at least twice a year, your blood pressure will be better controlled. we've all heard about seasonal affective disorder causing depression at this time of the year, but did you know if you're born in the autumn you actually have less risk to develop depression. there's a new study that shows the time of year that you're born may actually affect your mood later in life. i'm dr. mike. have a great day. thank you, dr. mike. it's time for our first music request this morning.

>> this is your fox food bite. so today we're going to cook steak. there's no need to go out to a restaurant and spend $40, $50 a steak when you can do it at home for a reasonable price. today we have a sirloin, an eye

round, a fillet mignon, and then i have a rib eye. in my opinion, the rib eye is the king of steak. more fat, more marbling. the more marbling you see in the meet, the more flavorful your meat is going to be. so before you put these steaks on the grill, you have to season. you can season with anything you want, but my personal favorite, right here. montreal steak seasoning. don't be afraid to be generous with your seasoning. throw it on there. a little sloppy, it's okay. you can put as much seasoning as you want. if you like more flavor, don't

be afraid. people tend to grab a fork. that's not what you want to do. what you're going to wind with up on the grill is a piece of shoe leather because all the juices are going to escape. here is a flavor tip. take bacon and wrap it around the filet mignon. now we're going to throw them on the grill. hear that sizzle? that's how you know it's hot enough. the temperature should be on the medium to high range. 5 to 6 minutes each side. you want to get a nice little crisscross on them. then we're going to cook for a few minutes and flip them over. how do you know when they're done. hold your hand up.

rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, well. you touch your hand, you touch your steak. that's what it's going to feel like. so now that these guys have flipped over, we're going to give them, depending on the temperature, we're going to give them five or six minutes and we're going to use the hand method and determine when they're done. don't flip your steaks more than once. it's a mortal sin. if you want to see them cooked again, go to myfoxphilly.com. >> we have those recipes on our website. let's get over to the weather. the story today is the wind.

you can see it in the trees. how strong are those gusts to go gob on this day? >> already up to 40 mile an hour wind gusts at the airport and all around the area you're seeing the same thing. storm system to the northeast that brought the rain and snow to parts of our southeastern states. we're on the back side of it. we'll see sunshine with a few morning clouds but we'll also see the howling winds as they bring colder air back behind that pressure system. cold tonight for a hard freeze. lancaster county are under a freeze warning. temperatures 43 in philadelphia, 44 in millville. yesterday we only saw afternoon temperatures in the upper 40s and we won't be that much warmer today. the wind gusts as mentioned, the bigger story. the trees are blowing like crazy, it will continue through today, wind gusts to 40 mile per

hour here in philly, 29 mile an hour wind gusts in atlantic city. it makes you feel colder. the wind chills in the 30s. seven-day forecast shows some improvement and at least some warming. 50 degrees is all for the high temperature. a cold start in the 30s, a lot of us will see temperatures beginning around that freezing mark but a lot of us have already experienced a hard freeze so far this fall. monday's high temperature 58 and we turn mild by election day. 66 degrees and sunshine. we keep it mild in the the end of next week with some showers and temperatures fall back into the 50s. >> a montgomery county boy got a serious scare when he opened his halloween candy on saturday morning. j jennifer gage says he found a

razor blade. >> a little piece of candy like every other child does the morning after halloween and finds a razor blade. look at this. it looked rusty, like someone had it laying in their or something and said oh, let's put this in candy. >> investigators say the blade ended up sandwiched between the bar and the wrapper. that investigation continues. >> take a look at this. you know we love our disney. it's a small fire that broke out on one of the fires there. videos appeared on youtube just a short time later. a spokesperson says em bers from fire works landed on the mine train. everybody was safely evacuated.

how about shelby who was at walt disney at the time. breaks my heart. don't worry they'll get it back up and running. >> of course they will. let's face it. you've probably got all kinds of halloween candy and you're like what do i do with all this? >> i've been eating it. that's the problem. >> which ones should you eat and which should you pass on. our medical team let's you know the good, bad and the ugly coming up. >> all right. and our something social this time. happy birthday, finally turning 30 miss hepp. >> it's tomorrow. >> happy birthday karen, he joy your special day. >> it is tomorrow but we're celebrating today. >> these guys surprise me. i'm totally overwhelmed. thank you for the warm wishes.

getting ready for that all important holiday shopping season. so far it's looking to be a

pretty good one. sales projections are 4% higher than last year. in addition to traditional stores and malls, online sales are going to be on fire again this year. here's a few tips to help navigate you through the season. first, check out a couple of free online apps right on your smart phone you can get one. the first one is called price grabber. it allows you to compare the price of certain products right on your screen. no more driving all over the place. second, how about an app called shopular. it will send ads to your phone every single day. you pick the stores. it could save you a lot of time. the second tip is make sure you save those receipts. why? because if a product goes on sale usually within 90 days, most merchants will honor that and give you the difference

back. and finally use the right credit card. if you use a discover card you'll get 5% back on all your purchases and with the extra jingle in your purse, you might be able to by yourself a present. that's enough of my good cheer. i'm cashing out. >> the holiday music in full effect. we want to get back to your responses. this comes to us from vincent responding to chris rock. we are all too easily offended. thank you for your opinion and make sure you share yours. >> it's time for your interactive weather. caitlin is standing by. it is chilly out there. i don't like to run at all but running in the cold sounds even worse. >> i hope they're not running from south to north. gusts to 40 miles an hour. it's hard to say what's tougher.

we're drying out, a lot of places around the country still reeling from the snow they got yesterday. these are pictures of snow piling and piling up in north carolina. it's mainly in the higher elevations, obviously into the smokey mountains in tennessee. parts of tennessee see two feet of snow from yesterday. that's unbelievable. and one of our faithful followers wants to know how much snow could we get this weekend? the jury is out for now. it does look like we're off to a pretty active start. there's even a hint of a chance of snow showers by friday, friday night. temperatures 40 degrees in allentown right now. 43 in philadelphia, 44 in millville. again the wind out of the northwest, gusting up to 40 miles per hour here in philadelphia.

expect it to be incredibly windy and expect those wind chills to probably stay in the 30s through much of the day. only 50 degrees for the high temperature. seven-day forecast shows after a very blustery sunday, we'll see the winds ease, a cold start to monday. 58 for the high prosecutor. the warmer weather returns, 66 there on tuesday. thursday the rain returns and then friday, we'll have to see if we can see another low coastal system affect us next weekend. >> your nice right now. we are learning more about the capture of accused cop killer eric frein. a task force commander says he saw a figure moving from the woods towards that, an abandoned airplane hangar. the commander and his team caught him by surprise. he did not try to run. he is accused of ambushing and killing corporal brian dixon back in september. dixon's family is talking about

the capture and what they think should happen next. >> i do not ask for death for him. i'm glad in that sense. but i want justice to prevail. i want the judicial system to bring him to a place of accountability. >> that nearly two-month-long manhunt cost about $10 million. >> in your health this morning. we're talking candy. halloween is over. chances are you have a lot of sweet treats in your house right now. fox medical team is here, take a look at these tweets. forget christmas weight gain, my who will wean tummy is the halloween candy. i will not eat the halloween candy. if we do slip up and reach for some of that sugar, you're going to break down which ones are the better choice for us? >> right. although not all candy is created equal, every calorie

counts right? so here we go. first example is the snickers versus the 100 grand. what do you think is the better option? the lesser of two evils? >> i'll say snickers because it has peanuts and they're healthy? >> that's what everybody thinks. but you would be wrong. when it comes to calories, the 100 grand bar is 190 calories. the snickers bar is 250. that's 60 calories. 8 grams of fat in this one, 12 grams of fat in the snickers bar. we have take 5 versus a butterfinger. take 5 has a bunch of stuff in it including pretzels and actually take 5 is the way to go here. 210 calories. butterfinger 250 calories. now, these two candy bars are

tricky because they both have the same amount of calories, 210. but you get a little difference when it comes to fat grams. 11 grams in the kitkat and 13 grams in the hershey bar. we know we love hershey, but know what you get when you're eating one. the little ones, we have one reeses cup and a little kitkat. the kitkat is the way to go. we want to show you this because this is what 100 calories look like. that one little half of a reeses candy bar. and finally we show you one of the best examples to take care of your sweet tooth. a sucker, 60 calories and it will last you probably 15 minutes to get through this lollipop. >> those are good. the hard part is when all the coworkers dump all the candy in the news room for us to eat.

>> you have to be strong. >> we'll try. >> thanks. karen? >> would you believe this? one of the top piano players in the world just seven years old. the reason one organization is bringing him to schools all over the u.s. >> i'm tom with this week's around the house. i lost several bushes in my yard. how can i protect my shrubs this winter. one, make sure they're well watered, well mulched and also the use of antidesiccants can be critical. keeps them from drying out. this is another option, sell by the roll and simply stake it and

we are all excited as our birds take on the texans. we have never lost to them. but they've got this guy, j.j. our man in texas, the one, the only howard eskin joining us live right now. so howard, what do you think? >> well, first of all, j.j. is only one guy. there's 11 guys on defense and there's 11 guys on offense. so i know he's a great player. j.j. white is who we're talking about. but i think the eagles will win the game. good teams, and i think the eagles are a good team, and i think they're better than everybody they've played although they've lost to. good teams rarely lose two games in a row. i'll give you something else. that chip kelly in his head coaching career has never lost 2

straight road games. that's oregon and the eagles. so if that means anything. so if the eagles have an offensive lineman that will play this afternoon. the injury report and the deactivated keyes are not out yet. but jason kelsey will be back at center this afternoon. and todd who tore his bicep muscle. nate allen will play. they've got two guys they need that will be there this afternoon. >> how about foles? >> it's really decision making. because he makes some really good passes, but he doesn't make the right decisions at times, which i did last year. sometimes you just got to throw the ball away. and also, i think some of the blame has to go on the offensive line. he pump faked once, but then the pressure came at him, he had a

step to the side and throw it again and then it was too late. will he make those corrections? i would say he's a good learner, he understands what he has to do. it's happened too often. he can't have turnovers and the eagles cannot have turnovers, and i think he got better this week in practice. but you know, the games are a different story. but i think he will be better and he cannot turn the ball over if the eagles are going to win games. >> all right. well he says he's made the corrections. howard if you thank you as always. we'll look for all of that. thank you so much. >> i'm going to take care of j.j. watt for you. how's that? >> the king, the one and only. thank you howard. of course the game is at 1:00 today, game day live of course starts right here on fox at 11:00. be sure that you catch that. and what do you think about the game? just use the hashtag

amongst all that, art in philadelphia remains alive today. one of the most recognized locations on south street is philadelphia's magic gardens. >> we are a nonprofit mosaic museum, visionary art environment gallery space as well as a community center all roled into one. this was all founded and created by our artist isiah. he came to this neighborhood specifically in 1968 when this was a dangerous neighborhood. he came into this area as a prime opportunity to actually beautify the neighborhood. >> magic gardens gives back to the community through various events. >> we offer a lot of low cost and free activities for kids and families alike. we also host a lot of art opportunities and exhibitions for local artists. >> reporter: even with all the social media that exists today that allows people to view anything at any time, experiencing the art firsthand

for many people is way more valuable. >> you can't take a picture of this whole thing and put it online. it's really something you have to walk through and experience. to see it in three dimensions or in two dimensions and from different views, it's more than a picture. it's really more than a picture. >> reporter: even for people that have seen philadelphia's magic gardens, it doesn't get boring. for this german family, this is their second trip to this majestic place. >> we were here four years ago, me and my wife, and now we came back to show it to our kids. >> reporter: philadelphia's magic gardens visitors can enjoy a day of art or just sit and relax. either way you look at it, there will be a charming view. >> what did you like best about it? >> i thought it was interesting that as we saw the family from germany, it's their second time here and they're not tired of it. they keep coming back and they're interested in the art that is there. >> i think it's cool and

accessible. i drive by it and i see it, i think maybe i can try to do that at home. i can't, but you still try those projects with your kids. >> it's a lot of things you can view and see and you want to try it out. so it's an awesome place to go. >> thank you for bringing us these places that we don't always get a chance to go to. we really do thank you for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> thanks carlos. and if you have any ideas for our judge reporters, you can always tweet us. use that hashtag #fox29weekend. >> this is the trend. >> a lot of times when they say you get married you take the plunge? well this guy took a plunge he may never live down. >> as they're walking to the reception he tripped and they both fall. the couple says it wasn't as bad
