we will toss it over to carol, hey, carol. >> it didn't look like he was enjoying it a as he took that tumble but maybe he was. he was looking for some snow. we have fairly nice conditions out there this morning if you like clouds and cool temperatures. it will be not all that bad today, compared to what is coming over the next couple have of days. we have a temperature of 33 degrees right now, that is reading out identify in the reading area. along the shore area we have decent conditions as well today. where ever you go you will be in basically fine shape today but this may be the day you want to make your preparations for possibility of some heavy rain. tomorrow, and then some unbelievably cold weather on tuesday. so, 33 degrees in reading at this point with fairly light wind. that is why i'm in the showing you a wind chill graphic because any temperatures that are right about where you see them now are a at most several degrees cooler but it is not a dramatic change. thirty-six philadelphia, 30 trenton. thirty wilmington. 28 degrees in the allentown area. twenty-seven in the pocono
