We need to be out Jan 31 but my husband isn’t to be out in this weather, he’s not physically able to do much at present time.. Can we get extension on eviction date? And how?

Why are you being evicted? Is it for non payment or some other breach of the lease and, if so, how long has it been going on? You can try to negotiate an extension but you'll have to pay the rent as you go for certain. If suit is filed, you must defend in order to try and delay eviction but if you cannot cure the breach, eviction is inevitable. You should be actively looking for a new home so that you give yourself as many options as possible. Your husband's doctor should also write a note or letter saying that moving now would be detrimental to his health. You may need to present that to a Judge if litigation happens.
