respect every bite. [female announcer] a public service from faan: the food allergy and anaphylaxis network. right now, on fox 29 weekend, this is a story that let up our facebook page. we got thousands of likes and shares and comments. welfare recipients and drug testing. is this fair practice or unconstitutional? you weigh in. plus, one of our most popular radio personalities in all of our area opens up about a recent fight with cancer. >> you tested positive. >> what makes his story so unique? the message he wants you to hear that could help save your life. a very popular grocery store chain shutting down in just days. people in so many of our local neighborhoods are left wondering where are they going to buy their food. just how big of an inconvenience this could be.

grab your smart phone, your computer, your tablet. let's get interactive. on a very frigid saturday morning. good morning to all of you, grab something hot and join us on fox 29 weekend. on this january 10th already. we have so much to get to this morning including the search for a fourth suspect in the series of attacks in paris. >> plus some new developments in the search for black boxes. >> first we're going to get a check of your interactive weather. we're going to head outside. we've got caitlin outthere this morning. the sun arising. but first we've got a question for you. >> hey caitlin! what's the weather on saturday? we wanted to go to the mall. >> well, the mall is probably

the best place to be. anywhere with heat, i would say. that is a very cute video. thank you so much for sending that in. we love your viewer videos. #fox29weekend. today can be summed up in one word, cold. frigid that's exactly what it feels like outside today. yesterday we saw a bit of a break. we'll struggle to hit 20 degrees today in many spots. it is brutal no matter where you are, really. temperatures are mainly in the single digits, but we are seeing at least a few teens. so that's something, i suppose. it is 2 degrees in mount pocono, 11 in potstown, 16 in philadelphia. these are air temperatures. again we have that air factor today. it doesn't feel too breezy outside right now, but once you get away from the tall

buildings, it feels brutal. 15 mile an hour winds that could get to over 20 mile an hour today. look at these wind chills. awful. not the best skiing day. today's high temperature despite the beautiful sunshine, it will only hit 22 degrees. tonight no relief yet. clear skies and we'll fall back into the teens. i do see some warmer weather on the horizon, but with that comes wet weather. we'll talk about that in the seven-day forecast. karen and lauren? >> it is 8:03 right now. we want to get to some of the headlines. police are investigating a deadly shooting in the kingsessing neighborhood. this is right after midnight and south 56th street and greenway avenue. there was a man who was shot once in the chest. so far no suspects. >> all eyes are still on france

this morning as the search continues for one more ak police in those deadly attacks. sabina? >> after three days of bloodshed which played out on live tv and social media, this morning france's nightmare is not yet over. the hunt is on for the woman suspected of being an accomplice. she is considered armed and dangerous. also this morning a member of al qaeda's branch in yemen claims that they chose their target. it would be the first time that they have successfully carried out an operation in the west after at least two earlier attempts. france is urging its citizens to remain vigilant as thousands security forces remain on the

ground to prevent any new attacks. and here at home hundreds held vigil in love park last night showing support for france's deadly attack in decades. many were france nationals living in philadelphia. >> it's important to show solidarity and to suppress our grief for the victims and the families of the victims. >> freedom of the press, they died for this. it's something that i think everybody should feel. it's not just, you know, the french, anybody it can happen to. >> and world leaders will arrive in paris tomorrow when what's expected to be a huge demonstration to show unity against extremists. in light of the attacks the state department has issued a travel warning to american citizens and coming up at 9:00, we'll tell you why french authorities believe the attacks could have been a lot worse. karen? >> here's something we've been seeing so much of this hashtag

associated with this paris terrorist attacks. featured in 3.4 tweets. it was trending among so many supporters of free speech and preexpression. >> investigators have pulled the tail out of the crashed airasia jet out of the sea. it's not clear if the black boxes are still inside the tail of the jet. 162 people died when the plane crashed two weeks ago. >> a story this hour, we've got a big problem. we have dozens of supermarkets in our area just days away from closing. this is the bottom dollar chain that's going to be shutting down 50 shores and most of these stores are in neighborhoods where there aren't other supermarkets. they'll have to take the bus,

getting fresh food is going to be a struggle and there's all those people who will be losing their job. dr. ron hill joining us by skype this morning. let me get to these tweets this morning, because so many people are upset by this development. frequently we cover news stories when there's a big grand opening of a supermarket. how do you think this is going to affect people? >> it's a disaster in many ways. if you look at the 95 corridor, starting as far down as maryland and all the way up to trenton, you're seeing food deserts and this only exacerbates the problem. that's a place where there are psychological or barriers from getting food.

they're there are going to be difficulties for them and food banks have to be alerted to the problem. >> then a lot of people have to go to the corner store where they're not going to have a wide a variety or selection and the prices are more expensive and frequently there's a problem just getting to the store that's nearby, can you take the bus, how much can you carry. what are we going to do? >> it's really a big problem. i have to say it's really a examination of issues. we know people who are poorer in our communities spend more on food than those who are more wealthy in our communities. but what we don't realize, they pay more per dollar as well. in other words, they get less per dollar when they buy food. particularly if they go to local stores and bodegas and then also end up having a much less variety as well. >> we do know a chain has come in, aldi, and is going to be buying these stores. but we don't know if these

specific stores will be reopening. >> that's exactly right. they bought up the name. if you look at what's going on, it looks like they wanted to remove competition rather than replace competition. i'm a little surprised if they are planning to come in and reopen these stores. why they haven't announced that along with the announcement of the sale. tiply you would want to ensure the community that good things are going to be coming around the corner. they have not done that today. i guess it's still wait and see. >> all right. dr. ron, we appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> always my pleasure. thank you so much. >> i'm sure we're going to be hearing from a lot of the councilpeople in many of these communities. if you stop at any of these stores, tweet us trite now. use our hashtag #fox29weekend. still ahead on fox 29 weekend, it's been a center city staple for decades. now it could be facing the wrecking ball. who was on a mission?

a pretty big name to keep this philadelphia diner up and running. plus, we made it through our first snowfall of 2015 and we know there's going to be a lot more to come, so why did we complain so much about this one puny little storm? only in philly. i'm superintendent with a video that is. [ bleep ] me off this week. two police officers are shot while responding to a robbery in the bronx. you can see one suspect caught on the surveillance cameras. he used a .44 magnum pistol to fire at the officers. one was shot in the arm and back, the other in the arm and chest. they were rushed to the hospital. the officers were already off the clock when they still chose to respond to the robbery.

this video demonstrates with what police officers day in and day out deal with. it's almost like a game of russian roulette for the police officers. they're always hoping that their number is not up. you're dealing with street urchins who rob and pillage and will fire on police. this job, policing in america today, is not for the faint of heart. that's m

welcome back. in your news now, the family of a missing mount laurel's woman is pleading for help. she has not been seen since december 31st. her last post on facebook was on the 30th saying she was on a date with her husband. they claim erica's husband told them just this week that she had been missing. erica's children are safe and with family. this morning, more on that major stunner. one of our most popular radio hosts announcing he had prostate cancer. you know steve on wmmr? over the last ten years you've probably listened to him, of course seen him on "good day." this week he decided to go public with his cancer battle. you're like family, as strange as that sounds. thank you for sharing your story. all the very best to you.

keep keeping on. this one from steve. glad to hear you are okay, buddy. we've got steve joining us right now this morning. good morning to you, steve. >> good morning, karen. >> the good news right now is you are okay. what's your prognosis right now? >> i am cancer free. people were worried and i was getting a lot of twitter and the social media blew up and people were aware i was cancer free and it was over and some other people were not quite sure. what actually happened is, the battle, quote unquote, with cancer, was raged over the course of just a couple of hours. the reason for that is because of dr. mike cirigliano and following up on my psa tests, which were showing to be a little bit high. i guess the acceptable range tops out at around 4 and i was between a 3.9 and a 4.1.

so i had a biopsy which proved i did have cancer. but i never had symptoms associated with prostate cancer. i had all the other exams. nothing was red flagging. the only thing was the psa test. i never felt anything, any pain, any discomfort prior to surgery. it occurred on wednesday, the morning of december 17th. as i said the surgery lasted about three hours. dr. david lee over at penn conducted the robotic surgery, and afterwards there was no pain, no nothing. so my mother had lung cancer and did wage a battle for a long time. mine wasn't a battle. because of the early detection, it was an extraction and right now the prognosis is tremendous. i'll been monitored closely and things will be followed up on, but it was taken out of my body, contained within the prostate, and this is something that has happened with many guys. actually two people who work here for greater media have had.

it's a blood test, the psa test. and get your other tests and obviously. all the things you should get as you get older in life. be on it early. don't be afraid of the result. be afraid of not knowing something is happening and you're letting it go. but if you go and just have it checked and you are on the early end of it, which is more than likely if you are not symptomatic of anything, then you'll be good. i mean, you know, obviously there are other situations, but

nine times out of ten it's that early detection that's going to save someone's life. >> steve, thank you so much for sharing your story. we appreciate your time on this morning and thank you again for sharing with the greater delaware valley, we appreciate it. >> my pleasure and honor to be a part of this. >> of course steve morrison on wmmr from 6:30 in the morning to 10:30 in the morning and of course they're on our show on "good day" every wednesday. >> new jersey governor chris christie hitting the road again meeting with potential supporters in south carolina. lawmakers and business leaders have been invited to a meet and greet on wednesday. primaries are early and the state has a lot to say in who gets the presentation nomination. we've all been there, you're driving down the street and get stopped at a dui checkpoint. some people are saying you have rights in that situation.

one? all drivers have encountered driving under the influence checkpoint when they're out on the road. >> one video shot in florida is telling drivers you don't have to open your window, you can breeze right through. the video has gotten more than a million views since january 1st. it stirs up controversy. all you need to do is put your license, registration and insurance in a plastic bag on your mirror. critics say dui checkpoints have a purpose, to keep drunk drivers off the road. >> this is a story that got a lot of reaction on your facebook page. if you are this ignorant to police. if i get stopped, i'll gladly let them know i'm not drunk because i have nothing to hide. cathy writes our society is so easy to toss away our freedoms. soon they'll be searching our

house randomly for guns and drugs and telling us it is to protect the greater public. >> this is your tech bite from the tech tank. if you're like me and a lot of other people, you probably have paper all over the place, receipts, medical stuff. guess what? there's a philadelphia-based company called neat receipts that i love to you and i'm going to share with you today to clean up the clutter and get the files on the computer. so we're at the office here and we've got all this paper. let's take this neat device right here. we're going to start scanning some stuff here. let's get these receipts in our system. as this is scanning, you could see. i have lots of other receipts, lots of documents, health care, legal information, everything. so we can get rid of all the paper. now we've got this little receipt here. neat receipts has already processed it for us. it knows we spent $6.42 and if i need to print anything or do

borrow money from overseas leveraged on the fact that taxpayers won't pay it back. >> hello, i'm bruce gordon. philadelphia got its first snowfall in the new year this week, about an inch early tuesday morning. forecasters had called for at least that much. but this coat, was, as usual, cause for chaos. the commute times were doubled or worse. my take, i've lived in this region most of my life and i still can't figure out why we can't figure out how to handle a little snow. my commute on tuesday, normally 45 minutes, was about an hour and a half. a slow crawl up northbound i-95 that had to be the result of a major accident or lane closure. sure enough, there it was. a single car, spun out with a dented grille on the southbound side of the road. that's right.

the other side. northbound traffic had come to a crawl. here is an idea for the gawkers, take a picture of a dented car at home, keep it with you. take a good, hard look at that picture before you leave the house that way you won't feel the need to slow down and stare at a dented car once you're out on the road with the rest of us. only in philly. ♪ >> let's take a look at our forecast. we know it is back to the deep freeze it is so cold out there right now. deceiving sunshine as sue serio always calls it. is it possible we can have an ice storm on monday? >> we are looking at wintry weather. i would not call it an ice storm yet. the problem is there's a chance for some freezing rain which as we know can slick up the roads really quickly and it looks to be right during the monday morning commute. first one of our viewers on

twitter wants to know, when will it warm up, i'm cold. the pets want to know when it will warm up too. luckily we'll see some warmer temperatures after today. right now nothing warm about this. air temperatures sitting at 2 degrees in mount pock pocono. 18 in wild wide. winds are still a factor today. they're out of the west at 15 to 20 miles per hour. wind chills right now, 17 below is how it feels at the top of mount pocono. i won't want to be skiing today. despite this, we have plenty of sunshine and it's a beautiful looking day. clear skies as we head into tonight. sun early but clouds increase on sunday. here's that storm that karen mentioned. we are looking at wet weather moving in late sunday night. that looks to start as rain here in philly and snow further north and west. 7:00 a.m. monday morning that

looks to be rain changing over to freezing rain. so there could be a point on monday morning where it looks dicey. a mess on monday giving way to more sunshine and a chance of some snow later on next week. karen? >> everybody makes fun of me, i still have the iphone 4, i never have enough memory, it is so frustrating. >> i have the 6 and my battery is always dead. there's an issue all the time with the iphone, right? some helpful tips to free up that much-needed memory. >> i'm glen gross and this is your fox food bite. today it's the king of comfort foods, meat loaf.

80/20 blend, to get a little juicy you need fat in that meat. all our seasonings and come up with the greatest meat loaf you can possibly imagine. my favorite lawry's season salt, about a tablespoon of onion powder, steak seasoning, then we're going to add about a cup of diced peppers, a couple of eggs. add a little more season salt, a little more steak seasoning and a pinch of granulated garlic and that will be good enough for you. so we're going to add about half a cup of bread crumbs. i use seasoned bread crumbs.

give it a spray. right before you do this, you should preheat your often to about 325 degrees so the loaf is all loafed. next step, ketchup. final step, my favorite. bacon. just lay it on. it's going to cook and crisp up. it's going to permeate that meat loaf and we are done. throw a little more ketchup on there for good measure. it it turns into more of a glaze than anything elts. take a little seasoning just to give a little topping to it. now we're going to put them in oven. so about 45 minutes later, it looks like it's done. wow, this looks really good. i personally like to eat it with mashed potatoes and gravy.

if you are going to make your own gravy by the way, use the drippings. they make it fabulous. you want about inch slice of meet loaf as you plate it. don't forget the bacon. that's incredible. i'm pit master glen gross and this has been your fox food bite.

things you can do to free up some space. first off, delete things you don't use. especially games or a lot of old pictures. old pod casts, too. next set your messages to expire. and you can go into your settings and have them go away after 30 days. and finally you may need to restore your phone. a simple restore, which i've actually never done can fix that. what is that? that sounds really smart. >> i think they're really good tips. games i'm no longer playing right now. >> and pod dpts casts you don't think about that. >> what kind of podcasts are you listening to? >> i never did until i started listen to -- >> she has podcasts. >> what is serial? >> it's a podcast about like

system coming in that looks to bring in wintry weather. you would think it's just snow but it's not. it should start out as snow, and rain showers in there too. not a big storm, but big enough impacts by 7:00 a.m. monday morning, that indicates freezing rain in spots. freezings rain causing slippery conditions. that should gradually transition over to rain as we head for monday morning. there is that brief period we're worried about with icing. current temperatures, these are air temperatures not the wind chills. in the teens as you head towards bucks, montgomery, it's 16 degrees here in philadelphia. 21 in cape may, with winds today gusting to 20 miles per hour, it will feel like it's below zero at times north and west. 22 day bitter cold and sunshine. sun giving way to clouds on sunday. but it's 36 degrees, there's warmer air out ahead of this

mess which looks to bring rain to philadelphia. before it changes to rain we could have brief freezing rain. temperatures are not nearly as arctic. we'll see highs in the 30s but there is a chance of rain and snow come wednesday and thursday. karen and lauren? >> fox 29 weekend is the only place you can see this. a team of junior reporters. some of the best and brightest college university students covering stories in your backyard today. today we have rider university students samantha crawford. >> i had a blast at the game. >> did they win? >> yes, they did. >> they won. and what else was happening if there? >> i met two very special people there and they touched my heart and i think after seeing this story they'll touch many others as well. >> reporter: big brothers and big saursz is celebrating 100 years of change and friendship here at the 76ers basketball game. >> i look up to him because he

poconos. all three people are alive. no word on what led to the shooting. >> what do you think about this? should welfare recipients be drug tested? it just became law in michigan. it calls for testing of people on welfare. recipients who test positive will be offered treatments. those who refuse will lose their benefits for six months. >> as a clear violation it's unconstitutional and unlawful. try it out on congress first and see how that goes. >> if you have to be drug tested for employment, then you should be tested for welfare. >> why are people so ignorant of the facts, every place that has implemented this has spend more for the testing. if welfare recipients have to, why not rich people that are landing multimillion government contracts. is this a program that's going to do more harm than good?

joining us by skype right now, a certificate specialist. how are you doing? >> you think this is going to hurt people why? >> i think the biggest reason why, it's going to have a huge detrimental effect on the children. >> we all have to live by the choices we make and a lot of people make bad choices and the choices they're making to engage in drug use, shouldn't they also face the consequences of not being able to get money from the state? >> i don't agree with that. oftentimes people suffer from a substance abuse disorder. it's a medical condition. it's like saying someone who has depression shouldn't get benefits because they can't get out of bed. >> people say there needs to be line in the sand. we need to have a wake-up call for people. you cannot just get money if you're choosing to abuse the system. we're not going to give them

will fair benefits. >> once again i'm going to have to say i don't agree. multilayered, systemic issue. we can't have families, young children on the streets homeless. and if we don't have systems like this in place, it's going to be a huge strain on other social welfare problems. >> if not this, is there another way to have a wake-up call? the idea behind the program is we will still continue to give you the money, but you need to enter a rehab program. >> absolutely. what's built into this program is they only do testing if there's a suspicion, but the biggest problem for me is even if we have somebody who does test positive and they do decide i have an issue and i want to get treatment, most social service drug and alcohol problems are understaffed and underfunded and have huge wait lists. >> you do bring up the issue of

the children and so many times this does affect the families. but we need to have a carrot and stick approach. the children are clearly going to be hurt if there's drug use in the home and if the parent is not making the decision to get help. the idea behind this program is to say we're not going to give you the benefits if you can't help yourself. >> so what are we suggesting that maybe we take the children out of the homes? do we have foster care for the children? dpo we have social workers to go into the homes and teach them the skills they need to know. i doubt it. >> those are some good ideas right there. and it's a complicated issue, of course. any time we're dealing with people that have poverty issues and certainly substance abuse issues. thank you for your time. >> thanks for having me on. >> what do you think about this issue? you of course can weigh in and use our hashtag #fox29weekend. >> we're getting tweets on this

one already. let's get a check of our weather. caitlin just got this video in. take a look. >> what's the weather going to be like this weekend? because i want to build a snow man. >> thank you for the video, that was adorable, unfortunately not seeing any snow. we don't have much of a seven-day forecast. you would think we would with all the cold weather outsides, but it is just sunshine paired with the cold temperatures. right now it's frigid, up in the mountains just 3 degrees. that's the air temperature. 11 allentown, 16 in philadelphia, 18 in millville and 19 in dover delaware. exposed skin going to freeze quickly. you want to dress in layers. winds are out of the west at the top of mount pocono at 16 miles an hour. so skiers and snow boarders we

saw you out there on our camera last hour. it feels like 16 below there. all day long with those winds it's going to feel like the temperature you're reading. sunshine and bitter cold. for tonight mostly clear skies, we'll fall back to 15 degrees. tomorrow will be warmer, in the 30s. maybe not warm, but at least getting better. however we do have some wet weather early week to talk about. that's all still ahead. coming up, bill cosby's tv wife speaking out about the allegations against the comedian. what she said and why some people are attacking her oo social media. plus you've probably seen dog pictures popping up all over your facebook feed. this is a campaign that's gone further than anybody could have imagined. meet the people behind it. the boy who had cancer and his mother who created this

. welcome back. it's exactly 9:12. let's look at some of your headlines right now. the family of a missing mount laurel woman is pleading for help to try and find her. nobodies has seen her since new year's eve. family members say her last post on facebook was on the 30th stating she was on a date with her husband. they claim her husband told them

just this week that she had disappeared. family members say her children are safe staying with other relatives. and we've had this breaking news that's happened from hoefr night. we know that george zimmerman has been arrested once again. he was picked up in lake mary, florida. he's 31 years old. he's got a court appearance for right about now, in fact. no further details were released on that woon. but we know he was taken into custody and there was that case with trayvon martin back in 2013 when he was acquitted. we'll stay on top of that developing situation. also in utah, police have shot and killed a man who attacked a police officer with a shovel. this was all caught on video with the officer's body camera. investigators say they got a call there was a man walking around offering to shovel their sidewalks and looking inside people's cars. when they got there they say the man started yelling and eventually assaulted that officer. that's when the officer fired his gun. the officer suffered multiple

broken bones. it's time now for a segment we call let it rip. we tackle three big stories, and our guests have 30 seconds to respond to you. solomon jones, we're going to get right to it. first off, actress phylicia rashad. she says she was misquoted in an interview. she was quoted as saying forget these women when asked about the sexual allegations against cosby. she says that's not what she said. she claims she said, quote, this is not about the women, this is about something else. this is about the obliteration of legacy. of course, social media ate this one up. joe diane writes totally lost respect for phylicia rashad. phoney. i'm glad she is standing up for bill cosby. people will do anything for money and publicity. make the women take lie detector tests.

>> this remind me of ain't i a woman. phylicia rashad said she was misquoted and frankly i believe her. this is an issue when you have major media outlets taking stories from minor media outlets like showbiz 411, who's ever heard of it, and presenting those stories as if they are regular stories, as if they've been reported using journalistic standards. we don't know if that story is true. but what i do know is this, phylicia rashad has a right to her opinion. she has a right to believe what she wants to believe. and she presented that. and to be attacked in america for saying that a man who hasn't been charged has the right to a fair trial i think is wrong and headed in the wrong direction. >> next up, a bomb goes off outside an naacp office in colorado, and investigators are trying to figure out who is behind the accident snaacp

bombing proves how mainstream media is failing and it should be big news as civil rights protests continue to role. let it ri7. >> this naacp bombing not being covered is troubling for a couple of reasons. one, historically whenever black people have spoken up about injustices against them, we've seen these kinds of attacks, we saw it in birmingham with the bombing of a church, and we see it now out on the streets people saying we want to stop being shot by the police. they attacked naacp headquarters and it's not covered in the media. in my community people are saying is the media part of the problem. we need to get this fixed and we need to dofr this story. >> and the queen of talk getting slammed on social media. people lashing out on oprah winfrey for criticizing organizers of recent protests. oprah called their movement

leaderless. her remarks came during an interview promoting a new film, "selma" about the protests in alabama over voting rights. once again, a black celebrity shows just how out of touch they are. so while oprah searches for an outdated leadership model, we working. and then there's this tweet. there are news organizations set upping up and ring to role. how about some black elite set at the table and discuss these demands. >> i think in order to have people and discuss your demands you need to know what your demands are. i think frankly that oprah has a point so i'm waiting for the twitter backlash myself. you have to know what your demands are. you have to know when you reach those demands and you have to have some leadership in order to establish those demands. i think that oprah makes a good point when she says look, you need to know what it is want so you know when it is that you've gotten it. >> it's always a pleasure. thank you so much. >> thank you.

>> and if you want to respond to solomon's opinion, use the hashtag #fox29weekend. you can catch solomon on 9:00 a.m. from 7:00 until 10:00 a.m. >> i'm jeff cole. it's time for fox unfiltered where we respond to your comments and complaints right here on the air. first up a question. what's the definition of news? one dictionary defined it as current events, important or interesting happenings. we'll take it a step further. news is something you are interested in. which brings us to this story. >> i've had this gigantic black mark on my face. >> a man thinks he has a cyst on his face. it's just an ingrown hair, but for some odd reason his video went completely viral on the internet. when we shared it on our facebook page, jason went off on us. why does fox think this is news? i'm done with fox.

filling my news feed with complete nonsense. okay, jas son. well, we agree. the video is nonsense. but i think the point you're missing here is that it went completely viral. millions shared. that's why we reported it. mom of angels agrees. with all the gut-wrenching, depressing news we hear every day, i like stupid stuff every now and then. lighten up. now, to a complaint we hear a lot. enjoy watching your whole crew, i do have one pet peeve. when you say something is coming up next, and it doesn't, you then say it two more times before actually getting to it. that's three more sets of commercials. we agree. so we're here with our senior executive producer and we're going to ask her this. what are those called? >> they're called teasers. >> and what does our boss call teasers? >> annoying, jeff.

>> so why do we do them? >> to get people to watch, jeff. >> isn't there a better way? >> next up, a complaint about whiney anchors. antonio wrote. it's getting really tiring listening to your an orring complaining about the cold every single day. it's winter, it's philadelphia, it's cold. >> that's awfully pretty but oh, it is cold. >> i'm joined by lucy nolan. she has a point. >> yeah. actually she meant whiney like the wine-colored dress i have on. >> she meant iaian page, right? >> we were a little whiney. actually i buck up to what i used to be. i have to earn my keep. i used to shovel snow all the time out in the cold. i lived in alaska nine years. i was fine with it. so what happened to me? >> it's all iain? >> pretty much. >> where is he now? >> he's golfing in florida where it is 80 degrees, last check.

>> you're whining. >> no, it's facts. >> and that's it for this edition of fox unfiltered. tweeting about this one, a social media campaign to save a local landmark. the comedian behind the evidence to save little petes. >> we're getting a lot of tweets coming in right now saying i do not agree with people getting drug tested for their benefits. we love your opinions. oh, and your dogs. sent in your pet photos. photo doggies for anthony. show us your pets as well. >> and of course the song requests keep coming in. this one is "i swear" by all for

why? i'll tell you why... 'cause every winter, my favorite thing to do is ski upstate. and in new york, you can ski more and drive less. with over 50 ski resorts throughout the state, great skiing is always nearby. and with some of the highest snowfall in the u.s., it's always a perfect day on the slopes. day or night, green circle or black diamond... for the experts, like me... there's something for everyone. so plan your next new york ski trip at iloveny.com/winter.

welcome black. this one caught our attention. this is a place where i've spent some time. a philadelphia landmark is what we like to call it. we're getting hollywood

celebrity behind the campaign to save this because it's a late-night joint that may be disappearing. >> we're talking about little pete's. the plan is to close the restaurant and turn the property into a boutique hotel. in a blog post, a comedian who you may know wrote so my favorite scrapple counter in the world is almost dead because some men with companies want a hotel there. he's not happy. >> well, a lot of you have been talking about this one on twitter. because it's been a whole hashtag which is save little pete's. this is like when a meteor hit the earth and all the dinosaurs died. it's a joint. that's why this campaign is catching on. another person writes best place in philly for breakfast. visit every time we are in town.

>> i'm asleep by that time. >> we love you, john. tweet on this one. we're going to continue to watch your blog. hopefully they're going to do something to help save it. >> fancy pants hotels. >> and this. >> good morning. i'm dr. mike. ♪ if you're a shift worker out there and you've been doing it for more than five years, you are increasing your risk of dying from all causes. and if you do it for more than 16 years, you have an 11% increased risk of dying. bottom line, try not to do that anymore. with 1.6 million new cases of cancer diagnosed just last year in the u.s., all we do is tell you how to prevent cancer.

welcome back. we're going to take a live look outside right now because it is so cold. what are you doing on this freezing cold day? a lot of folks are skiing in the pocono mountains. i was so cold, i was outside, i was so hungry and i had some fried chicken. lauren took a picture of pea. it was so cold outside, here it is. >> yeah, that's you karen. >> andre thanks for sending that in. >> it really is so cold outside. they are out there. they're layering up and you probably need some serious sunglasses with bright sunshine reflecting off all of that snow. so one of our viewers wants to know, we've been talking about the cold way too much. i know, i'm sick of saying the

word "cold." when will things start to warm up? it will be warmer tomorrow. temperatures right now 3 in the poconos. it's 16 in philadelphia. these are air temperatures in the teens for south jersey and delaware. it feels like the single digits to well below zero north and west. fox future cast shows a lot of sunshine, clear skies as we head into tonight. and then into sunday we'll round out the weekend giving way to clouds. a storm system comes in and begins to impact the area as early as late sunday night. it will bring a mix of rain, snow and everything in between as we head towards early monday morning. this does not look like a lot, but it doesn't take a lot of frozen stuff to cause problems. so this is at 7:00 a.m., it looks like mainly rain but freezing rain will mix in in spots. so monday morning we've got our eye on it. red flags have been raised while it looks like just rain, we

could have some slick spots out there. your seven-day forecast, the bitter cold and sunshine today, 22 degrees is it for the high temperatures. about 20 degrees below normal. into the mid 30s for sunday and a bit of a mess on monday. it should be mainly rain and it should clear out into the afternoon. sun and clouds on tuesday. there's a chance of rain and snow again on wednesday and thursday. >> the fbi and the justice department may file felony charges against the former director of the cia. he's accused of providing classified information to his former mistress. the investigation all stems from an affair he had with paula broadwell. the investigation focuses on whether he gave her access to his cia e-mail account and other classified information. he resigned back in 2012 when the affair became public. another blow to atlantic

city. there haven't been races at the track for more than a decade but the course is offering simulcasting. the last day of business will be january 16th. >> this is another episode of momalog. i'm going to the teach you about the words your kids are using. first of all, basic. it's not a type of computer program. basic is not basic. cool, awesome. and then there's so basic. one of our new interns and she says when you're looking good. >> eyebrows on fleek. >> a lot of people you'll hear

wind chills all week long. today is no exception. winds are out of the west right now, about 15 to 20 miles per hour. it's a decent enough breeze to drop those wind chill values into the single digits to well below zero. it feels like 16 below in mount pocono. it feels like degree outside in philadelphia. 2 in millville, 6 in wildwood. we do have warmer weather but some messy weather to contend with. temperatures rising to the mid 30s on sunday, as sun gives way to some clouds. that's out ahead of our next system which looks to bring some messy weather early monday morning. probably just rain although we could probably start with snow north and west. there could be some freezing rain mixed in, and that would cause some headaches in the morning. as we go through the rest of the week, temperatures steady in the mid 30s. this is still below normal but it's not as cold and the chance of rain and snow, that's wednesday and thursday.

that will be our next system to watch. so one on monday is the potential later on in the middle of the week. karen and lauren? >> take a look at some of your headlines making news right now. will i am is launching a new line of watches. >> this week he unveiled a watch. it features a phone, music, social media apps, he says he designed the black watch to stand out. and when this watch hits the market it's going to cost about $400. >> that's kind of pricey. >> at 9:46. we want to tell you about the golden gate bridge, for the first time they closed it. the bridge is closed for the weekend so crews can install an anti-cross-over barrier. since 1970 there have been more than 100 crashes. they've had 120 head-on crashes

on that bridge. they're just getting around to putting a barrier there. this is the first time the bridge has been shut down since 1987. it will be back open by monday morning. >> i'm guessing your car does not handle this well in the ice and snow. the frozen truck races took place in maine. >> this morning we've got a story absolutely blowing up on facebook and instagram and twitter. you've probably seen some of the pictur pictures yourself on your feeds. anthony is a teenager from arizona battling cancer and he loves when the therapy dogs come into the hospital to visit him. there are days they don't come and that's why all of these dogs are scrolling behind me. because his mom came up with this idea to make a facebook page where people all across the country and the world can send

pictures of their dogs for anthony to see. and so many millions of you have come through on this one just on facebook alone. that hashtag photo doggies for anthony, so popular it's trending on twitter and instagram and the comments along with the picture. cheryl writes thinking of you while you recover, hope you enjoy the pictures. i'm a dog lover as you can see. we have five dogs. i would have a million if i could. get better soon. joining us by skype right now, we've got anthony and his mom. >> hi. >> can you possibly believe the response that you guys are getting right now? >> not really. >> no. absolutely not. >> anthony, what does it mean for you when you get to see each and all of these different dog pictures that people are taking the time to show off their pet. what's it like when you see these pictures? >> i really appreciate it. because all these strangers from all around submitting all these
