today is the day you stay indoors. 10 below right now in philadelphia. millville and lancaster. 9 degrees below for the feels like temperature in allentown and 9 degrees below zero for the feels like in trenton. so across the map everywhere in our neighborhood feeling below the zero line. and it's going to continue that way throughout today. few safety steps to take during the extreme cold, first and foremost, wearing at least three layers. loose layers, not tight ones. really a great option especially if middle layer can kind of be an insulating layer like a fleece, something like that. that's what i wore today. also stay dry. avoid sweating. if you are sweating, do not take off the coats you are wearing, go indoors and dry yourself out. take breaks, hydrate, stay eating throughout the day to keep your energy up. if you start to shiver, have memory loss or confusion, this could be the early signs of hypothermia so you need to be indoors and get your body to a warmer temperature. all of these big concerns because of the fact we've got

bitterly cold air just wrapped over the entire region. on top of the fact those northwest winds are still fairly strong. so you get those two together. and while it's a dry picture, it is a horribly cold one for us. look at the winds today. right around 15 to 20 miles per hour sustained, but gusts 30 to 35 miles per hour still are possible. that northwest flow we've been talking about this for a couple weeks now it pulls in cold air from the northwest. so as long as we have that flow, we're going to stick with these really rough conditions. look at the feels like temperature by 10:30 this morning. still around 5 to 10 degrees below zero. in the afternoon right around zero for the feels like in philly. that's as fwood as it gets today. 5 below in doylestown. and then we go into the evening and back down we go again. so right around 5 to 10 degrees below zero for the feels like on our saturday night. now, as we go into your sunday morning, the winds will die down but it is still going to be very cold. so look in the afternoon on your

sunday. these temperatures feeling like the single digits will actually be considered warmer pair e compared to the last several days, but the air itself is actually going to be at its coldest tomorrow morning. we may set some records. looks like in philly we're forecasting 1, that will beat the previous record of 4. trenton forecasting of 1 below, that will beat the previous record of 2. and these are actual temperatures we are forecasting right around zero degrees tomorrow morning. check out the hour by hour quickly as we go through your saturday. you'll see it stays dry. the same can be said for your sunday. a dry forecast. but that all changes on monday. then in the next half hour i'll show you what i'm talking about. >> all right. thank you, krystal. this morning we're seeing some scary video from north of the border. >> passengers onboard as their plane collides with another in toronto and a fire breaks out. what happened and how it all played out ahead in our next

helping the homeless during this dangerously cold weather. earlier this week we introduced you to malinda boyer, she drives homeless people to shelters for free. representatives with uber philly told us they saw our story and they were thrilled that malinda wanted to make a difference. they wanted to get in on the effort, so uber philly donated $500 to two homeless shelters in malinda's name. 9:26 right now. the brutal temperatures are unbearable even for people like you and me we've been here our entire lives. >> yeah, but imagine if you've never experienced cold weather like this before. ahead, see what's being done to help evacuees here from storm ravaged puerto rico. >> and that cold air is still parked over our region. but we've got good news, the end is now in sight. we'll track when that dangerous cold finally exits the area and how much better temperatures look as we go into the next workweek.

temperatures. and as dray just mentioned frostbite easily can set in in 30 minutes or under when skin is exposed in this type of weather. take a look at the actual temperatures. actual temps are in the single digits. 8 in mt. holly, 9 wilmington. mt. pocono with 2 below zero. those are the actual temperatures. now compare to what it feels like outside, rough. 10 below zero in philly and vineland. 12 below in coatesville and 9 below in atlantic city. these temperatures are not going to rebound above the zero mark for feels like throughout the rest of today. so what you see now pretty much at you get the rest of your cu, well, take a look. 17-mile-per-hour winds right now in philly and coatesville. 13 in wilmington. 20 millville and 21-mile-per-hour winds in atlantic city. these gusts are what has helped make it feel so bitterly cold. good news is those start to die down tomorrow. we'll talk more about what you

can expect throughout the rest of your weekend and a big warmup coming up. >> all right. thank you, krystal. well, you probably will be cranking up the heat in your home today. >> yeah, a lot of people will be doing that. but unfortunately not everybody has that luxury. a heating company though is doing its part to help out. nbc10's randy gyllenhaal joins us live from delaware county where crews will be installing a new furnace today. tell us about it, randy. >> reporter: yeah, the guys from oliver heating just got here to anne hoskins house in delaware county. anne has had a tough couple years. it started in 2015 when you might remember a large summer storm came through in june. it took off a number of shingles, parts of her roof, damaged a lot of her house and her belongings. that was just the first part of a snowball effect. after that happened, about a year later she says she lost her furnace. and we're going to walk inside here and show you the inside of her house. her furnace stopped working. she had to duct tape the ducts in part of it as well. she says it was really only

heating just a part of her house. this is anne here you can see we're walking back to where they're doing the installation. it's really tough especially in this cold weather to have to live in those conditions, so the guys from oliver heating heard about their story and they came out today with a brand new furnace. they're spending a couple of hours this morning installing it. they're also doing some duct work as well. she says the upstairs of her house would be very hot, the downstairs extremely cold making it really difficult to live in. these guys are not just doing this one. they're going to be at a number of other homes today. we just caught up with anne, she says it's a blessing. >> i cried when i first learned that i was getting a new heater. i believe in karma. and what goes around comes around. and when you do good for others, goodness will fall back on you. i'm very grateful to the entire staff of oliver heating. >> reporter: and, you know, ann says she actually considered nominating somebody else that she knows who also needs a furnace. they convinced her she needs it

especially after all that storm damage and through. so in just about an hour or so she's going to have the heat up and running here, but the guys at oliver heating, they're not done yet. they have other locations to hit including one in west chester, as well as new castle, delaware, helping out families in need on what might become the coldest day in the last few decades. for now live in delaware county, randy gyllenhaal, nbc10 news. >> great for the bitter weather. thanks, randy. let's head to philadelphia where as many as 800 employees and city contractors are working to clear the snow from this week's winter storm. crews reported to work on wednesday. they have been on the clock since then. plows and salt trucks focusing on residential streets where the packed snow and frigid temperatures are still making conditions slick. well, it's really unusual, potential record breaking for our area, to be so cold for so many days in a row. >> yeah. more and more people are getting frostbite from not covering up, layering up when they head outside. it's caught a lot of people off guard. just in the past week the emergency room at thomas

dragonfly is already adopted, but she'll be representing you guys. >> 4th at 3:00 p.m. on animal planet. >> awesome. people can catch you guys being represented. and this ties in with an event you guys have going on. >> that's right. so these little puppies will be available on puppy bowl weekend. >> awesome. >> and they will be dragonfly's cheerleaders. so we're really excited. so all the pets in the shelters will apply to different specials and adoptions that we have going on just to honor puppy bowl, you know, and we really want people to stop by. wear their jersey. if you wear your favorite team's jersey, you'll get part in the event. >> perfect. really, these guys are so cute right now, i know they're going to be awesome pets as they get older, it's so cold this time of year. real quickly we have to tie that in. puppies, dogs, any age need to be indoors. >> that's right. we have to think about new law that went into effect so pets cannot be kept outside for longer than 30 minutes. so bring those dogs inside. do not leave them in the yard. if you leave them out for

longer, you will face animal cruelty charges. >> absolutely. want to be snuggled up. >> if you'd like to visit the providence animal shelter located at 555 sandy bank road in delaware county. they're open noon to 7:00 monday to friday. on saturdays open 11:00 a.moandn sundays. for more info, tap the nbc10 mobile app and search for find it this is sports desk brought to you by xfinity. x1 from xfinity will change the way you experience tv. hey, hey, good morning. good to see you as always. i'm danny pommells from nbc sports philadelphia. sixers looking to make it four straight last night. joel embiid in the lineup, he missed the last game with a hand injury, nothing wrong with him in this one. sixers got off to a crazy start. ben simmons to embiid with a two-handed flush, sixers up 17 after the first quarter 23 for jojo. second quarter simmons gets a turnover and cruises in for the two-handed bang.

a 20-point lead at the half for philly. third quarter simmons another drive and two-handed finish. he had 19. sixers up by as many as 40. they cruise 114-78 and get back to .500 for the season. >> we're moving the ball, you know. coach doesn't have to call a lot of plays, we just play into the system we have been placed. past couple days been doing good so we have to keep on learning. >> how about the eagles? they've earned an extra week to prepare for their first playoff game since 2014, but they don't know who they're preparing for. that's the difference between the bye week during the season and the first round bye in the playoffs. so this week there's more about the birds looking in the mirror and getting some me time. >> that's the beauty of this bye week is we get a lot of great work in, but you can self-scout yourself because we don't know who we're playing. you try to utilize and practice

fundamental stuff. having a great high speed practice with pads on, going back watching old film, studying, just sort of doing what we can throughout these days and obviously rest. it's awesome. >> let's go to the college hardwood. university of pennsylvania was closed yesterday so last night's game postponed until this afternoon. a game you can see on nbc sports philadelphia plus. drexel on the court though hosting charleston. this one went to overtime tied at 76, dragons harper drives and dishes to lee. and, yeah, it falls. the corner three helps the dragons to the 87-82 win. lee with 22 points. that is your look at sports. i'm danny pommells from nbc sports philadelphia. enjoy your saturday. first alert meteorologist krystal klei here. let's talk about those feels like temps. i keep going back to this because i keep showing off these numbers have not budged. the winds are up, temperatures

are very low so you get a feels like temperature below zero. 10 below in philly and millville. 9 below in atlantic city and trenton. and 7 below for that feels like temperature in pottstown. this is why we issued a first alert. dangerously cold temperatures. you're outside for more than 30 minutes and frostbite easily can occur on any exposed skin. if you are going out, wrap up everything you possibly can before you step out the door. look at radar and satellite. this is a big wide view i'm showing you because the cold air pretty much digging minneapolis all the way down and across the northeast. now, you can see there's not a lot of action on the board. we've got mostly dry conditions, but the cold air is just holding tightly. so here are the temperatures this afternoon. 14 degrees for the forecast high in center city and in pottstown. coatestown at 15, allentown only 12 degrees. look at the numbers in blue. those are the feels like temperatures this afternoon. meaning it's the best we get today. zero vineland 1 below stone harbor, 1 below in smyrna with an actual temperature of 17

degrees. now, the one silver lining to this is it won't be sunny again. if you step outside, you'll already be able to tell pretty nice blue sky. that's not going to help with the temperatures warming. wind gusts is a big issue. that's what makes the windchill exist. when you have a strong wind, the warmth that your body emits kind of helps keep you warm. but if the winds are strong enough, it pushes that warmth away. so then your body perceives the air as colder than it actually is. gusts around 30, 35 miles per hour this afternoon. about 25-mile-per-hour gusts this evening. here's the good news, by tomorrow morning those winds really start to die down and they stay weak through the rest of tomorrow. the problem is when winds weaken, the temperature's able to drop even more so. so tomorrow morning the temperature itself will be colder. but the winds will be lighter. we'll still feel between 5 and 15 below zero, and look at these forecast low temperatures. eses. 1 in philly. 1 below in trenton. zero in coatesville.

these will likely set a record for cold on tomorrow's date. so here are the afternoon temperatures. a little bit warmer than the teens we'll see today. 22 in philly and in the suburbs. and then monday finally it looks like many of us will break the freezing mark. this will be the warmest that we will have seen in 13 days. the other problem comes monday evening as we could see a mix of rain, snow and some icing. once we get through that though, a much better ten-day forecast. we'll get to that ten day on 10 coming up.

this weekend you can take a step back in time. millions of years back in time. dinosaur time trek stomps into the pennsylvania convention center in center city today and tomorrow. visitors can cuddle with a baby

dinosaur, dig for dinosaur bones and check out other interactive exhibits. today, philadelphia will again pay tribute to ed snider, the late chairman of the flyers. major kenney will declare today as ed snider. he's credited with organizing hockey for lower income neighborhoods. >> a good day to look for something to do inside, not outside. >> i think a lot of people are going to be turning on netflix today. that's a good plan. let's talk temperatures out there with your ten-day on 10. 14 for the afternoon high today. tonight dropping down to a low of 1 degree tomorrow morning, that will set a record for cold. tomorrow in the afternoon we'll start to gradually warm. only 22 in the afternoon. then we see monday 34 degrees for the high. we may see late monday into monday night a rain/snow/icing mixture. but then we dry out tuesday, wednesday, thursday. we've got 40s and there it is, 50s on your friday. although we do have to watch the eagles game saturday.

mid 40s but there may be some rain with that. >> wow. 53 next friday. >> you meant 80s, right? >> shorts, tank tops, you know the drill. >> all right. thank you, krystal. that's all for now. i'm dray clark. >> i'm rosemary connors. for krystal klei and all of us here at nbc10, have a good one, stay warm. see i don't care e y-- you back.

final quarter of the regular season, through the eyes of some very key players. how do the eagles get to the number one position in the
