We live in a beautiful place, the skyline is distinctly yellow over there in that upper left corner. The sunrise is beautiful now if you're awake now, what a blessing it is that we live in an area like this. We have Sidney Sullivan in the studio with us. Doesn't that mean the temperatures will take my breath away too? But doesn't the sunrise take your breath away? Sydney, she's just beautiful. I've been at my parents' house the last two mornings, and I specifically left the windows open. The curtains are open so you can see the sunrise which is really amazing. Even with a chill in the air, we definitely feel it. 27 degrees in Greenville, 19 degrees in Pickens, 24 degrees in Anderson, Spartanburg. 2325 in Asheville. Extremely cold, widespread, deep-freezing conditions. Yes. This is still the case nowadays. However, this is the last morning for many of us that our temperatures will be this cold. Yes, it will still be cold, but at least not quite as cold as we're headed over the next few days. We look at the live broadcast of the fourth Doppler. Nice and dry. A beautiful day to get out and about. I know there are a lot of holiday activities. If you're going outside, be prepared to go, especially if you're headed to the Christmas Poinsettia Show. Peyton and I will go in. It will be a lot of fun, but it will be one of those evenings that you want to add a lot of layers to. Highs will be in the lower 50s, however, once the sun goes down, temperatures will drop very quickly, so it will be cold. But at least it's a nice start to the weekend. But after that, we'll take a closer look at the main warm-up leading up to our route and time-out. Our next chance for rain. Peyton. Thanks Sydney.

The coroner says 32-year-old James Campbell died at that scene. Vice President-elect J.D. Vance visited parts of western North Carolina on Friday, touring Hurricane Helen's damage and recovery efforts. Our Sydney Shaddricks reports. After landing at the Asheville Airport, Vance toured the Fairview Volunteer Fire Department, saw photos of Helen's destruction, and heard from first responders about their own experiences. Response to the hurricane. He also visited a house that Helen destroyed and which is now a Samaritan's Purse Recovery Project. Vance said work must be done on the U.S. communications infrastructure to ensure that if anything like this happens again, the country is prepared. It's honestly a shame, given that we have Starlink, given that we have access to modern technology, that we have so many people unable to communicate with law enforcement, with EMS, with their loved ones. Weeks after the storm hit, Vice President-elect Vance was joined by Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd. He said they are working to try to get waivers that would allow people to temporarily return to the areas. Flood zones are now classified.

Congressman Chuck Edwards said his office will answer these calls and will work directly with FEMA on behalf of callers, his office announced. Back here in Greenville, there was a small business that rented and sold e-bikes as their main source of income, and it was almost wiped out by Hurricane Helen. The owner says many of the bikes were flooded, making them unavailable for rent. Rashad Williams has that story. These are rentals that you can use for 14 years. JAMY McDonough was one of the masterminds behind JAMYA RIDES, but more than a decade of building this business was wiped out in a matter of hours. Back in September. We are all fortunate considering our neighbors in Western North Carolina, but there is still a significant impact. Many of the bikes they rent and the bikes they supply to the city were under water during the storm. When electric assist bikes are underwater. A lot of the parts are deteriorated and they also connect to the electrical sinks. So a lot of them were destroyed. Rents and business overall dropped immediately after Helen approached 50% due to ongoing clean-ups on the trails and around downtown. So to put it in perspective, these wheels help keep the lights on on Reedy's trips and the usual high demand for services in the fall provides them with enough money to get them through the winter months. We save our nuts like squirrels, so we can survive the winter, so January and February are really dead. Jamie says half the supply has been lost, but in the meantime he says they have to rely on servicing and selling bikes to make it happen over the next few months. We encourage you to shop and rent locally. And tonight you and your family are invited to the Greenville Christmas Parade.
