after encountering hurricane force winds and stormy sees. that will all depend on whether or not the more than 1100-foot ship gets the go ahead from the us coast guard. the ship's propulsion system was damaged during the storm and they won't green light it leaving the port in bayonne until its fixed. the passengers from on last week's cruz were refunded and 50 percent off the next cruz. it was a storm going on. people got sick. you saw the video, but can they legal action. attorney hanson shaking her head no. anybody can file over anything. this stuff happens. four people had minor injuries so i know you want them to sue. i do. i want them to sue. > why. >> i want them to sue if you can prove that the captain had knowledge of the fact that this storm was there and made a deeggs to take it on anyway. > listen, the cap and i is

ultimately responsible, especially in this situation and they have to make these decisions. from what i understand, they knew the storm was there but they did not know the extent of the storm and ships are built to go into storms. the thing you have to consider, too, so am people get angry when their cruzs are canceled. they've paid money for it. you have to weigh the possibility of a lawsuit if you cancel it. this captain saved a lot of people's lives. from what i understand he turned that ship around so it was no longer facing the winds. only four people had minor injuries. if anybody sued it would be for negligent infliction of emotional distress. >> i like that. > in quotes. negligence infliction of emotional distress. >> i thought they did well, they gave full refunds. > no one is thinking of going on another crews after getting off that ship, but it seemed to me they handled it appropriately. >> ultimately it's all about pr. they want to make sure that they

have made steps toic ma it right. no one was hurt. it's only because of this captain's actions that no one was hurt. people need to suck it up. > is it only because of this captain's actions that they were in that situation. we don't know yet. there's a difference between an active god and negligence on behalf of the captain. >> no doubt about it. ultimately if we were going to trial on that the defense would have an expert saying absolutely no one could have known this. the other side would have an expert saying they should have known this and ultimately it would be up to the jury to decide. you will never truly know if this captain should have known. there's going to be different opinions on each side. because no one was hurt i think you should -- >> happy ending. > ive that you been on a cruz. >> i have not. > i have. >> did you sign that waiver when you get on. >> that's part of it as well. you sign away some of your rights. > always a pleasure. > we're going to turn to dave

because as you soon as you step outside it's cold. the numbers are in the 20 #-s and it feels like they're down to the single l digits. a little slippery on the rods roadways. we had some snow come through last night. it is so cold and as the cold air comes in we'll get the streamers coming off the great lakes so certainly possible all day today along with the dropping temperatures here, that's one thing to watch, on the roadway. speaking of the roadways, bob kelly is here with a morning update. good morning, everybody. falls bridge still closed to vehicle traffic. this is a project that's going to probably last another month or so. so instead of the falls bridge traffic using the city avenue bridge between roxborough and monument road and presidential avenue there. busy day on the roadways, especially 95. southbound, watch for delays from the walt whitman through broad street, the stadium area. that's all due to a penndot work crew and then a double bubble in

back on the bench. jen is creating new movements in front of us. you want to come down a little bit lower. your upper back is perfect. you'll start there and lower your hip. ottoman couch, raise up, squeeze the gluts. they've done studies on this, the most glut activation occurs during this exercise even more than squats. in the man cave. you are going to raise up:the gluts are like hotdogs they plump when you cook them. get them all the way up. try one leg at a time. one knee into the chest. give me ten reps. all the way up. get the leg off there. and i'm supposed to do this how often, how many times? you can do this every commercial break, ten to 20 reps total or ten republicans on each side. my head stays on the couch or ottoman. >> your head comes off a little bit. the big thing is the upper back is the pivot point and you're

moving exclusively through the hips and because you're elevating your shoulders that angle allows for maximum activation of the butt cheeks. you got said it, maximum activation of the butt cheeks. this is mom owe log and he is one body. thank you.

> i want to get on one of the planes and go right to the sunshine. is that the song who the in the city? >> yes. > someone in the control room has a sense of humor this morning. >> i like it. > it's 10-degrees out. it's who the in the city. whatever you say. we can get on a plane. > we cannot. we're going to be here until 9:00. >> all right. > some people can escape this painfully cold weather. we will get into the weather in just a moment. my mouth is even frozen. let's take a look at some of this morning's top stories. right now, investigators are trying to figure out what sparked an apartment fire. it happened around 5. 30 this morning at the fox wood apartments on veterans' highway in levittown. the fire started in a second floor apartment and then spread

to another unit. one person was sent to the hospital with non life threatening injuries. the 100 year old building was once a bank. vaults are going to be used to hold various items. it is a gift from cardiologist. it will hold original signs from connie back stadium and 150 game-warning jerseys.

be down blow zero. it's very cold. here's the cold artic air moving in and working itself its way through the area. this is as about as warm as we get today, 22-degrees and dropping into the teens by tonight. chills blow zero. bundle up, layer up, that chill blow zero, that's what it feels like on your skin. a the look of work has gone in to determining the wind and the temperature and we're looking at a very cold night effect. frostbite, know the signs. it can happen in less than 30 minutes. take some steps to avoid frozen pipes. i'll put this on our facebook page a little l l bit later. wind chills tonight, if you're out, it's blow zero. by tomorrow morning, 10 to 15 blow. 31 bow in mount poconos. a little warmer weather is coming in with some rain and snow in just a little bit later in the seven day forecast.

hi, mike anal ex. our new mayor gym kenny says that philadelphia schools are a priority. the position is called community schools director. what exactly does that mean? and what is a community school in how is the going to effect your kids and what makes it so different? help joining us to make sense of it all community school director susan. thank you for joining us. first obvious question is, what the heck is a community school? >> a community school is really a strategy for delivering services in a much more comprehensive and aligned way. schools are where the kids are. and one of the obstacles and barriers to learning is that kids have a lot of needs and the city is providing services so we are looking at delivering more city services and non-profit sector services to kids at the school with the school as the unit of delivery. basically the school will be much more than just a classroom for these students.

> that's right. kids have social and health needs. so some community schools and some other places like cincinnati have eye care facilities, food pantries, financial services for parents. > all in the school? >> all using the school as a event ser. it sounds like a shoprite. > we love shoprites. >> they have food and they have a pharmacy and they have a bang. > anyway, other cities -- would you call this a program that would be spread out over all of our schools? >> the goal is to really start looking at our schools in a much more strategic way. a really critical part of the community schools effort and the community schools strategy is getting the local community involved in what the schools' needs are. it won't look the same in every school. one school might say that their focus needs to be on having after school program. another one might say health services. so it's getting the community, that's parents, educators, students and community members

involved in deciding what the needs are and starting to think about how we use the city services that are already being delivered, getting them in there more comprehensively, reaching more people and supporting the l school system so that we can have the kateors can focus on the education. it's really thinking about the holistic needs of kids. how will you determine the specific need in each community will you be talking to the community, open meetings. >> meetings and planning services. they'll have people working with people to help evaluate what's already happening in the school that's currently available, as well as what the needs are. > you would cater to each individual school, cater to their particular needs. >> yes. > what other cities do this? >> there are a lot of cities that are looking at different models. chicago is looking at things. cincinnati has a good model. the mayor went there in the fall. > baltimore and new york. >> baltimore and new york, absolutely. > what are they saying about this? why are you attracted to it? because it's working in their cities?

>> one is again it's where the children are. being aible to meet the needs of children and actually help them become stronger, healthier, ready to learn, more well said. s that that benefits us all and it actually helps them with their school readiness and it helps educators to focus on education. > is there a plan to have every school in philadelphia have this. >> over time. the goal right now is 25 schools in the first four years. > let's get started. >> i got to go. > have we started, though, with a particular area. >> we're starting to talk to schools and identify which ones are working with school communities. the school district is looking at how they engaged their communities more. the city is really starting to look at assessing what's going on in the schoolsment we're starting to think about data systems and what kind of measurements we're going to be looking at. the goal is to identify a set of schools to role this out and then start adding schools over time. > you're a good talker, ma'am.

>> i am. thank you. > thank you so much. >> do you teach? i have not taught. my husband is a teacher. he is in the philadelphia school district. kirk bride, shout out. > keep us up on this progress. all the schools are going to come to you. >> i think we want everyone thinking about what their needs are and what they need to do to get in the queue. > get in the queue. is that out of line? >> no. > she did that right here. >> i know. that's our queue, to be quiet right now. > good job mike anal ex. it's hard to think about the boys of summer. it's the coldest day of the season, but it's almost time to talk about the phillies. the phillies packed up their truck and headed down to spring training in clearwater. what we can expect from our fighting fills this coming up season. >> take a look at this woman. she says her eyes -- let's get her up there. she says that her eyes are one of her most defining features because they make her look like

as i struggle with trying to stretch it out. it looks like elsa. we'll put her back. > what else has she been able to do? she's tried all of these different characters. here she is as snow white. > i think she looks good. >> she does. she looks much better than i do messing around with this. at any rate she has spent a significant amount of money trying to be the different characters. we want to know from you what do you think about her experience, 14 grand at least to be a disney princess. bill, we know this we all need to eat right. that's a fact of life. that means we spend a lot of time either ordering out or in the kitchen. is your kitchen in the need of a makeover. you may recognize her from hytv. she's allison vittoria from kitchen crashers. she will be life this morning to help us turn our kitchen from shabby to seek. how would you like a chance to

> i never see you anymore. come out the door. it's like it's gone away. we wish it was gone away. you guys should hear dave in here syncing. you are taking a life look -- how do you pronounce this.

>> absecon. > absecon, new jersey. i'm glad you guys told me because one time i said something wrong and i got a million tweet about how to say things. you have to give me some credit. i had to learn skull kill, conshohocken. june yacht a. i saw your forecast. man, 16-degrees at 3:00 or something like that. that's just the temperature. you have to factor in the wind. we've been great before, but it's never really been this low. we're looking at pretty bad weather here tonight and tomorrow morning. because of the wind here, this wind chill actually fairly dangerous. you want to certainly take precautions. get everything covered up that you can with the hats, the gloves, the scarfs because it will feel like it's down blow deer on. frostbite can happen quickly if you're outside for a long period of time. keep that in mind. the artic air is moving in, teens and 20s now. the wind will really start to increase and the temperatures will drop. combine those two and you're

looking at wind chills down blow deer on. wind chill advisory, wind chill advisory for this reason. for tonight and tomorrow morning. that's when temperatures will be the lowest. carbon to mineral county 20 to 30 pro. here's where it drops down the most, right in the morning. it's about 10 to 15 blow. by noon, the numbers climbing just a little bit. the wind will start to die down a little bit. it will be a nice improvement as the wind dies down, but the cold artic air is still in place and will barely climb into the teens. the snow is another issue. a little coating. this is from pete. ease ' in new jersey and also we have andrew who sent in a little coating of snow. it's so cold and we'll see more snow showers. the roads could be pretty slippery at times. these are passing showers, but as the cold air really picks up this could start to increase and go over the same area, be more like a snow squall, not just a

passing shower. that will quickly coat the ground. there it is now and it will quickly move through. the seven day forecast we're looking at some winter weather coming in monday. the snow, no question that it changes to rain and a temperature of 53-degrees on tuesday. a few lingering showers on wednesday, but the cold air is today and tomorrow. i consider myself philly tough, 1 degree, that's tough to look the at. moving onto better things. football season now behind us. so let's start talking about some baseball. the fittings, the phillies packed up their gear at citizens bank park to head south for spring training. yes yesterday was the much anticipated pack up day. the philly fanatic helped. with the pitchers and catchers reporting in less than a week, what can we expect from our fills this year. we have sean brace with us here this morning. good morning.

> good morning, sir. the fightings and the phillies, people look forward to pitching and catching. first, there it was a wakeup call that there was no football. first things first, i'll start off on a positive note, the fills won 56 games. they came out with the over all, under all, 64 this year. > you want a direction this year p much that's what you want. you want to change this with the franchise and the new general manager matt line to be. that's what they're showing you right now, a whole new direction. there are some young guys in the minor lesion that could possibly step up this year or even next year, but that's a long way until we get to that point. that's the focus. i'm looking at matt kintock and andy. we don't want to break down individual players. some of the thing we're seeing with the sixers. you're starting to see

excitement, effort and starting to see people get on board with the team. can we expect that from the phillies this year? >> michael franco. last year he played 80 games and 14 homerun runs. aaron knoll owe who i believe made the usa10 top 100 list. you want them to take the next step to provide a little excitement for the fan base. it's a long season. you need some players to step up and i believe franco and nolan. is it said that we as philadelphia sports fans are starting to accept that we're not going to to the playoffs. we're looking for a great day to the ballpark. we don't want to fall into that category. >> of course it's that. it's the sober reality. it's what we have right now. rube in amarrow ran this team into the ground. he made terrible decisions. he opened a checkbook and handed out money, unfortunately not to you and i.
