We want to get right to our top story, and that is the arctic air that millions are waking up to this morning.

Believe it or not, some people in michigan are seeing subzero temperatures, and dylan is tracking all of this. I walked outside today, its frigid. It is frigid. And news for you out of d. C. They have not broken a record low in november for 41 years. Wow. So thats all changed now. Says it all we are breaking record lows across the country. We even had a first snowfall in chicago. Take a look at what weve seen so far in chicago. Weve picked up. 1 inch of snow. Not a lot. Not measurable. It is still enough to make it look like winter. Considering just how nice its been so far this fall. Certainly has been a shock to the system. The reason why it is so cold outside is because we have this big area of High Pressure. When you have clear skies, all of the heat that the earth observed the day before has radiated away into space. Theres nothing really to cap it in. Temperatures have been dropping and dropping. Currently the windchill in burlington, vermont, is ten degrees. The windchill in new york is 18 degrees. 17degree windchill in washington, d. C. , with a current temperature of 26. Its only 18 degrees out in pittsburgh right now. As we go throughout the day, temperatures will try to warm up but just barely getting above freezing in d. C. With a high of 34 degrees. Today, new york city this eveni evening, 31. Portland this evening, 26 degrees. We have freeze warnings posted. These will be in effect through mid morning. You see including parts of new york and stretching down into south carolina. So we are going to start to see temperatures warm up as we get through the next couple of days. It is certainly going to be on the cool side at least for this morning. And then tomorrow morning, well be a little bit better. I was out this morning with the people on the plaza, and they are a little bit frigid this morning. Right. We brought our gloves and our scarves for the plaza when we go out to say hello. Thank you very much for that. Some other big headlines this morning. President trump just touched down in hanoi, vietnam, after wrapping up his trip to the asiapacific summit where he in a brief meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the summit. This as questions still swirl about russias meddling in the 2016 election. The president speaking out about it this morning. Nbcs white house correspondent, Kelly Odonnell, is traveling with the president and tracking all of these developments. Kelly, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. After the white house made a repeated point there would be no meeting between President Trump and Vladimir Putin, the president himself told reporters he had a few conversations with putin. And while it was not a formal sit down, the two did cover some ground. This morning, President Trump touched down in vietnams capital, hanoi, leaving behind the apex summit in danang where he defied expectations and held more substantive conversations with Vladimir Putin than the white house had first indicated. President trump told reporters on air force one he pressed about russian interference in the 2016 election. The president said, he said he didnt meddle. You can only ask so many times. I really believe that when he tells me that he means it. I think hes very insulted by it which is not a good thing for our countri. President trump said he and putin spent more time talking about their roles in syria and fighting isis there. He added they have a very good relationship. The president s willingness to talk about his contacts with putin counters the white houses efforts to say no formal meeting would happen. Publicly all that was seen were glimpses around the edges of official events. Yet the kremlins twitter page shows putin had time for other leaders. What an honor it is to be here in vietnam. Reporter President Trump did take part in apex colorful traditions. The suit and tie president donned the host countrys choice of blue silk shirt. He was center stage for whats known as the family photo. For President Trump, some of the stage craft was off. He nearly walked past the vietnamese president waiting for a handshake photo. And more on the trump putin conversations. The white house says a meeting today on the sidelines lasted five minutes or less. The president did not talk to Vladimir Putin about north korea which is notable because President Trump has often said he needs not only china but russias help to try to stop north Koreas Kim Jongun and his Nuclear Weapons program. A lot of eyes on that quick pullaside. Thank you for that. And meantime, the fallout from Sexual Misconduct allegations involving Alabama Senate candidate roy moore is growing. Moore has denied any wrongdoing, defending himself in his first interview since his accusers went public. Republican leaders are now scrambling to limit the damage from the allegations. Nbc news Gabe Gutierrez with developments. Good morning. Reporter good morning, roy moore is scheduled to attend a veterans day event here at this library later today. It would be his first public appearance other than the radio interview since the bombshell allegations first broke. Now at least two Senate Republicans have pulled their endorsements from the controversial candidate. You should stand and put your hand over your heart. Reporter this morning, roy moore is not backing down, attacking the explosive Washington Post report that detailed allegations of Sexual Misconduct with a 14yearold girl back in 1979. I believe theyre politically motivated. I believe theyre to stop a Successful Campaign, and thats what theyre doing. Reporter in a radio interview, moore, a combative republican candidate trying to fill Jeff Sessions seat, says he does not remember the main accuser and says the allegations are completely false. He did not rule out dating other teenagers when he was in his 30s. I dont remember that, and i dont remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother. Reporter one of the accusers, gloria diesen, claims moore provided her with alcohol when she was 18, below the legal drinking age. Moore denies it. Were also doing an investigation and have evidence of collusion here. Were not ready to put that to the public just yet. Reporter among many republicans, swift criticism. John mccain and mitt romney calling moore unfit for office. Congresswoman Barbara Comstock tweeting, harvey weinstein, anthony weiner, roger ailes, no more. I believe in the second amendment. Reporter the former judges supporters in alabama say the allegations are false and politically motivated just weeks before a crucial special election. Hes a man of honesty and integrity. Hes a man of faith. Its just not in his dna to do anything like that. Reporter the state auditor telling nbc news theres been a long history of romances and marriages with teenage girls. I dont think that he did what hes building accused of. Reporter so you plan to vote for roy moore in the election next month . Yes. Reporter the senate gop campaign arm has severed financial ties with moore now, making it harder for him to fundraise. The special election is in about a month. Moore insists he is not dropping out. Steve . All right. Alabama a very unlikely battleground for a senate race. Gabe gutierrez, thank you for that. Really is a remarkable story, steve. I want to ask you a couple of questions about it. Weve obviously been talking to a lot of folks on capitol hill, republicans, to get their reaction to the roy moore allegations. The reaction in alabama is very different. A lot of voters there say wed rather vote for roy moore than the democrat. Its a deep red state. He could still win this. Yeah. I mean, this is the thing we see its an unlikely battleground. Putting it in perspective, its been 21 years since theres been a senate race in alabama with a singledigit margin. 15 years since its been under 20 points. The thing with democrats is youve had polls even before the allegations came forward, polls showing a five, six, sevenpoint race with him ahead of the game. Now there are questions, weve seen folks in alabama rallying around him. He cant afford much slippage here. He has a much less margin for error than were used to a republican having in alabama. It dominates the headlines as does the president s trip overseas. This morning a big headline. He had the brief pullaside, five minutes according to reporters there, with russian president Vladimir Putin. We know that the president talked to putin about russian meddling. He says, putin says i didnt meddle. The president said, i believe him. And its time to move on. Was the president tough enough in that conversation . Did he achieve what he needed to . You know his critics will say absolutely not. Critics say hes in denial. And this seems a conversation were continuing from last years election when the issue started to arise. I think it runs into a couple of things here. Trump clearly seems to take any question about russias role in the 2016 election as an attack on the legitimacy of his victory. So you can see his instinct is always just to say nothing there, i believe them, this is the democrats trying to turn it back on them. You also see trump and the white house it looks like trying to make this argument that, hey, look, whatever happened not these words whatever happened happened, and now donald trump needs to have a relationship with russia because of syria, because of other big issues in the world, and we cant have him saying putins a liar because its going to complicate that relationship. Tried to make that argument. Obviously theres going to be people who dont agree. Undoubtedly. Particularly as the russia probe continues to escalate at home. Thats what he looks forward to returning to. All right. And we move on this morning with some other very big headlines. News that were following a Deadly Police shooting is under investigation this morning in rhode island after a police chase ended with officers firing dozens of shots at a couple in a pickup truck.

The mother of santos 17yearold son questions the use of deadly force. [ gunshots ] i mean, i dont understand how they could shoot to kill like that.

First we want to shift gears a little bit to the deepening sex scandal in hollywood as more people come forward claiming that, too, were sexually harassed. Louis c. K. Comes clean. Steve patterson is in l. A. With more on this. As the list of accusations grows every day, the careers of some of entertainments most powerful players are imploding. We spoke to a hollywood icon who said shes only surprised this didnt happen sooner. This morning cutting ties, from netflix to hbo, Media Companies dancing themselves from louis c. K. After bombshell allegations of Sexual Misconduct. I would just ask them out. Yesterday the comedian coming clean. These stories are true. He writes in his statement.

The stories just keep coming. All right. Thank you very much. A legal contributor for nbc news and clare is senior media editor. Good morning to both of you. Katie, i want to start with you and these developments about l louis c. K. On its face could he be looking at any legal jeopardy . Well, we know from yesterdays statement by him avs a total and complete admission of liability. But im going to assume that any lawyer on behalf of louis c. K. Has vetted that statement and ensured that there is no possibility for any criminal or civil statute of limitations to be applicable at this point in time. Louis c. K. Did something a lot of people found striking. He actually acknowledged what had happened and he issued an apology. Was he contrite enough . Will this work . Well, hes very contrite, but i think for now his career is over. Weve seen hbo cancel any of his shows that are on the platform. Netflix. Fx. Everything hes been involved in for now is on a complete pause. And i think were seeing these companies, hollywood almost feels like its falling apart at the moment. Every day there are projects being canceled. And folks keep asking me when does it end . And the answer to that is we just dont know. It doesnt seem like theres an end. We dont know when, but youre talking about this accelerating pace. It seems like theres a new one every day. Do we know what hollywood will look like, how different hollywood will be when this all shakes out . Well, my guess is it will look a lot cleaner. It feels like we have a problem on our hands. Clearly people go to hollywood to fulfill fantasies and some fulfill their wildest fantasies and for others its an absolute nightmare. But for the viewer im guessing folks are saying gosh, im not going to see kevin spacey anymore. Now im not going to be able to watch the i love daddy movie they planned to see in the movie theaters. An awful lot of projects being canceled. Katie, we talk about that term a Tipping Point a lot. Ive been thinking about it in terms of victims speaking out. It seems like once a few have gotten out and there have been consequences for those theyve spoken out against, now weve got a lot more. Have he hit a Tipping Point. Its kind of sad it seems to be the case that you have to have the voices of many versus the word of one and you have to have total corroboration before you feel safety in numbers. Ive prosecuted on the word of one and i believe that one person having the courage to step forward and actually point a finger can be enough and hopefully this is the Tipping Point where you do not need a flood of accusations to be able to hold people accountable for their wrongdoings. Katie, clare, thanks to both of you. Now we want to take a turn and check in with dylan who has a look at the weather. This very chilly weather. Yes. Records are falling all across the northeast as this arctic air continues to settle in. Weve had those clear skies, so temperatures have been tumbling this morning. As we go into this afternoon, its not going to warm up much. 35 in ross chester. D. C. 42. Columbus 39 for a high temperature. Then as we go into sunday we get back up into the 50s. Syracuse at 41, baltimore at 48 degrees. Through the week we will start to see temperatures continue to rebound. Nashville goes from 53 on monday up to 64 on wednesday. Charlotte kind of the reverse. Monday we go to 64 then the cooler air does start to work in. 59 for a high on wednesday. Elsewhere across the country we do have that storm thats moving in the pacific northwest.

It looks like its part of the machine. You get your money but you have no idea youre being scammed. A couple of quick things to look for. You want to make sure that everything is flush. This did protrude out a little bit. It was the same color but it protruded out. And by the way, youre probably saying to yourself you still need my pin number to get my money. Guess what . We had a pinhole camera watching your fingers type your pin numbers in. Look for anything thats not actually attached. We had this velcroed on. I always thought it was never going to happen to me it it just did. Are you mad at me . A little bit. At least your money is safe and you learned a lesson. Some banks are already upgrading their atm machines so you wouldnt stick your card in this way anymore. You would stick it in this way which makes it harder for skimming devices to work. In fact, that credit union already doing it. Most atms still doing it the regular way. Here are a couple of other things you need to know to protect yourself at the atm. First of all, cover the pin pad. When youre teepiyping your num, put your hand over it. Also the key pad itself, check that out. Sometimes the bad guys will put a fake key pad over the real one just like they do with skimmers over the card reader. Hope it helps, guys. Jeff, thanks. I cant believe how small those skimmers are. Thats terrifying. Next team i need cash im going inside the bank. Guys, black friday is still nearly two weeks away but nearly two weeks away but retailers are already breaking volatile markets.

A little foggy out there this morning but you say it will burn off. It should burn off but we have some dense fog in the north bay, which means low visibility, so if you have plans to drive in the next hour or two, Pay Attention to the Doppler Radar and fog right now. Dense fog not just hugging the coastline but moving further inland and in the north bay right now, actually, i had a viewer that tweeted me that the visibility was extremely low. Understandable, you can imagine. It can make it hard to drive so please be extra careful. Once that fog burns out, we can expect to see some of these cooler temperatures in San Francisco. 54, oakland 53, san jose 55. We will be warming up nicely to the 60s for San Francisco. Upper 60s for inland spots, and we can expect to see partly clear skies. The good news, though, that rain has moved out nicely but we will get another shot of seeing some rain coming up again soon tomorrow. Ill give you a time line on that coming up at 7 00 a. M. All right, vianey, thanks. The allegations are mounting. Inappropriate behavior by teachers at a prestigious all Girls High School and now the school is responding. Presentation high school in san jose has put two teachers on leave in the midst of a sex scandal. The principal sent an announcement to parents last night. It doesnt reveal what the allegations are, but the nbc bay area Investigative Unit has uncovered numerous accusations of improper Sexual Conduct by at least four former and current teachers. The allegations involve students. Some date back as far as 25 years. The email talks about the latest allegation from a former student and an incident more than five years ago after she graduated from presentation. The Administration Says it reported that allegation to police. The second teacher is being investigated for an incident the school says happened 14 months ago. Administrators say they already looked into it but now new questions are being raised. A reallife wildlife drama in the midst of the city. One man has quite the story to tell about minding a Mountain Lion Walking Around outside his San Francisco apartment. Bopana took these images of the 82pound Mountain Lion in Diamond Heights yesterday. He says it was moving slowly, looking for a place to hunker down, and when he called 911, he says the dispatcher understandably didnt believe him. The good news is fish and wildlife responded. They were able to tranquilize the 18monthold male with two tranquilizer darts. He was not injured, were told. And crews then took the Mountain Lion to the wilderness of San Mateo County last night, releasing it with an ear tag and a gps tracking device, so hes back where he belongs. Coming up this morning on today in the bay, this familys beloved dog snatched in broad daylight. We have their emotional plea for his safe return. That, plus all your top stories and weather coming up at 7 00. We hope you join us. Right now, back to the today show. Good morning. Bitter blast. Tens of millions of people waking th waking up this morning to arctic air. Temperatures dipping into the teens with the wind chills. When will the cold air go away . Breaking overnight. Facetoface, President Trump and russian president Vladimir Putin meeting and talking briefly on the sidelines of the asian summit in vietnam. The leaders talking about isis, syria, and whether russia interfered in the u. S. Election. And the tree arrives. Its a sure sign that the Holiday Season is getting under way. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree making its way from pennsylvania to the big apple and were going to reveal it for the first time today, saturday, november 11th, 2017. Weve got lots of veterans on the plaza. Happy veterans day. Where are you guys from . P. A. How many times have you been here . Three this week. 19 all together. Happy birthday. Special shet out this morning. To my shad. Dad. What are you celebrating . Our 25th anniversary. Chilling with dylan. Literally. What a great crowd. Well go out and say hello. Welcome you back to today. Im Kristen Welker alongside steve and dylan dreyer. Craig is enjoying the morning off. Steve is jumping in to help out. Sheinelle actually came in today. She was trying to do the show. She was ready to do it. She just didnt feel well enough. Steve, you are pinchhitting. Youre doing a great job. I used to be a substitute teacher and im having flashbacks. This class is easier to control. Have a nice beer tasting at the end of the show. That will be your treat. We look forward to that. We do want to begin with that arctic air that millions are waking up to this morning. This is the coldest day of the season with temperatures running well below average for this time for the year. 40 Million People are under a freeze warning from new england down to georgia. Believe it or not, some people in michigan are seeing sub zero temperatures. Dylan is following it all for us. Dylan, i have to say its been so mild, it was a jolt. It was a jolt. I feel like my skin instantly dried out. We are looking at record breaking low temperatures for several areas across the northeast. Why is it so cold . We have this area of High Pressure that has cleared out the skies. When you dont have any cloud cover to branklanket in the war temperatures, it tends to get colder. That is no doubt what we are seei seeing. If we take a look at where we were, cleveland is only about four degrees colder than yesterday. Youre not noticing it that much colder this morning. In new york city its 11 degrees colder than this time yesterday. In washington, d. C. Its only 28 degrees this morning. Cold high temperatures today. Were only going to warm into the 30s and 40s. Highs will be staying below average. New york city about 40 degrees. Washington, d. C. About 42. Then as we go into tomorrow well see temperatures get back into the mid to upper 40s for most areas. And it will start to warm up n. Columbus by wednesday it will be back in the 50s. It takes a while. In charlotte youre going in reverse. Its kind of just a brief taste of whats to come, but its a very cold brief taste for sure. Its chilly. We have our gloves and our scarves out. And the hot packs too. Another big story were following this morning and that is President Trumps brief meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin. The two leaders met as the Asian Pacific summit crapped up. President trump says they did talk about whether russia meddled in the 2016 election. Nbc News White House correspondent Kelly Odonnell is traveling with the president. Good morning again to you, kelly. Reporter good morning, kristin. This stop is the one and only time during President Trumps nearly two week long tour of asia that he and Vladimir Putin were in the same place at the same time. The white house said there was no need for a formal meeting. Still twhe two president s got together without an official agenda and President Trump says they get along well. This morning President Trump touched down in vietnams capital hanoi leaving behind the summit where he defied expectations and held substantive conversations with Vladimir Putin than the white house indicated. President trump told reporters on air force one he pressed about russian sbeercinterferenc the 2016 election. He said he didnt meddle. You can only ask so many times. I really believe when he tells me that he means it. I think hes very insulted. President trump said he and putin spent more time talking about their role in syria and fighting isis there. He added they have a very good relationship. The president s willingness to talk about his contacts with putin counters the white houses efforts to say no formal meeting would happen. Publicly all that was seen were glimpses around the edges of official events. Yet the kremlins twitter page shows putin had time for other leaders. What an honor it is to be here in vietnam. President trump did take part in apecs colorful traditions. The suit and tie president donned the host countrys choice of blue silk shirt. He was center stage for whats known as the family photo. For President Trump some of the stage craft was off. As he nearly walked past the vietnamese president waiting for a handshake photo. With so much of his focus on asia, it is notable he told reporters he and Vladimir Putin did not talk about the north Korean Nuclear threat. That stands out because trump often says he needs china and russia on board to stop kim jongun nuclear ambitions. He needs their support but didnt talk to putin about it. That is notable indeed. Kelly, thank you for that. Republican Senate Candidate roy moore in alabama says he did not act inappropriately with a 14yearold girl back in 1979 when he was 32 years old. Moore is speaking out just days after a report alleging Sexual Misconduct. Nbc Gabe Gutierrez is in alabama with more. Gabe, good morning. Steve, good morning. Roy moore is scheduled to attend a veterans day event here at this Public Library later today. It would be his first public appearance since a radio interview and since news of the allegations first broke. On capitol hill he has drawn widespread criticism. At least two Senate Republicans have pulled their endorsements. Here in alabama he still has support. You should stand and put your hand over your heart. This morning roy moore is not backing down attacking the Washington Post report that detailed allegation of Sexual Misconduct with a 14yearold girl back in 1979. I believe theyre politically motivated. I believe theyre brought only to stop a very Successful Campaign. Thats what theyre doing. In a radio interview moore, the combative republican candidate trying to fill Jeff Sessions senate seat says he does not remember his main accuser Leigh Corfman and says her allegations are completely false. But he did not rule out dating other teen arages when he was i his 30s. I dont remember that and i dont remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother. One of the accusers says moore provided her with alcohol under ne underneath the drinking age. We have some evidence of collusion but were not ready to put that to the public just yet. Among many republicans swift criticism. John mccain and mitt romney calling moore unfit for office. One tweeting harvey weinstein, roger ailes, no more. The former judges supporters here in alabama say the allegations are false and politically motivated just weeks before a crucial special election. Hes a man of honesty and integrity. Hes a man of faith. Its just not in his dna to do anything like that. The state auditor telling nbc news theres been a long history of romances and marriages with teenage girls. I just dont think that he did what hes been accused of. So you plan to vote for roy moore in the election next snon month . Yes. The senate gop campaign arm has severed financial ties with roy moore making it harder for him to fundraise. That special election is in about a month here in alabama and moore insists he is not dropping out. Gabe down there in alabama. Thank you for that. Taking a look at other headlines.

Now, after this fog kind of burns out by midmorning, whats going to happen is well warm up but not by much. The temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 50s, low 60s for the coast and into the 60s and upper 60s for the most of inland spots but the good news for the most part, that rain for today will take a bit of a break before we see an additional system roll on through, and thats going to once again bring the chance of some showers to the bay area. Ill break down the timeline of that, of course, during the 7 00 a. M. Hour. Well stay tuned for that, vianey, thanks. This morning, the allegations are mounting. Inappropriate behavior by teachers at a prestigious all Girls High School and now that school is responding. Presentation high school in san jose has put two teachers on leave in the midst of a sex scandal. The principal sent an announcement to parents last night. It doesnt reveal what the allegations are, but the nbc bay area Investigative Unit has uncovered numerous accusations of improper Sexual Conduct by at least four former and current teachers. The allegations involved students. Some date back as far as 25 years ago. The email from yesterday talks about the latest allegation from a former student and an incident that happened more than five years ago after she graduated from the school. The Administration Says it reported that allegation to police. The second teacher is being investigated for an incident the school says happened 14 months ago. Administrators say they had already looked into it but now new questions are being raised. Now to a wildlife drama in the middle of San Francisco. One man has quite the story to tell about finding a Mountain Lion just Walking Around outside his apartment. He took images of the 82pound Mountain Lion in Diamond Heights yesterday. He says it was moving slowly, looking for a place to hunker down. When he called 911, he says the dispatcher understandably didnt believe him. Even the dispatcher was like, are you sure its not a coyote . Im like, yes. Its five feet from me right now. And its a Mountain Lion. Yes. Pretty sure thats not a coyote. Well, police stood at the ready in case the big cat took off, california fish and wildlife shot the 18monthold male with tranquilizer darts. It did not get injured. Crews took it to San Mateo County last night. Coming up this morning on today in the bay, a familys beloved dog snatched in broad daylight. Their emotional plea for his safe return. Well have that plus all your top stories and weather at 7 00. We hope to see you. And were back on a saturday morning, november 11th, 2017. And will you look at whats coming to town. Will you believe it . That is dylan riding down 49th street with the Rockefeller Center Christmas Free on this very saturday. What a Beautiful Tree that is. Wait until its all decorated, lighted up. If the cold temperatures didnt tell you what season were in, that scene certainly does. Whats the scene over there . You know whats cool . Last year i was about nine months pregnant so i couldnt ride next to the tree. Now all bets are off. I get to sit right at the base of this 75 foot tall norway spruce. Why is this tree the lucky tree . Take a look. Im looking for a perfect tree that has a nice shape. Its nice and full. You cant see through it too much. Four, three, two, one. For 85 seasons the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center has been the highlight of the holidays. A tradition that dates back to 1931. Something that takes all year to do. Gardner eric pose is the man behind it all. I found this tree back in december of 2010. This year it was just perfect. He says he spotted the tree during a road trip to penn state. He was submiten. I have to be honest. When eric first knocked on my door i didnt believe them. The then 33yearold bought this pennsylvania home shortly after taking a principle position at a nearby middle school. The tree has always been in the corner of the property, but ive always thought of it as a really large spruce. Weighing in at 12. 5 tons, the norway spruce will get made over. Wrapped with five miles of l. E. D. And topped with a crystal star. Close to a Million People are going to see it on a daily basis. Wow. What an entrance, right . Thats the only word there is for this moment. Well, i have to say, i have started out at nbc as an intern for the today show. To actually see the tree coming in person, this is a first. It is massive. Its beautiful. Wait until you see it when its actually standing. It will be covered in 50,000 looi lights. The crystal at the top of the tree. The lighting will be a huge event. Wednesday, november 29th, at 7 00 p. M. Eastern. Not easter. Its actually christmas. I didnt bring any ornaments. I have to say, one of the best things we do here at nbc is that moment when we light this tree. Its one of the sort of its a very special season. Then you dont want to be around 30 rock because it is so crowded trying to leave work. You actually cant move. You cant get around. Its hard to believe that the holidays are here. But now i think we can say its official. Weve got the weather. Weve got the tree. Its the season. I cant feel my fingers. Theres that too. And were all wearing hand warmers. Weve got a lot coming up including some comfort food that will get you ready for thanksgiving. And how about this . A beer that is so strong it is banned in a dozen states but not fortunately new york. And so what else do we do on a saturday morning but drink it . Hopefully it will warm it up a little bit. Its frigid out here. Lets get one more check of the forecast. It is very chilly in the northeast. Record breaking low temperatures all across the northeast down into parts of the mid atlantic. Only warming into the 30s later this afternoon. Some clouds, a little bit of rain, little bit of snow. Were waiting for the storm to make its way into the pa ticifi northwest. Well see snow up in the higher elevations. It will be a little bit messy especially through Southern Michigan where icing is possible. And temperatures in the northeast will start to rebound. Little more cloudy skies and foggy conditions this morning. To Doppler Radar showing dense fog for San Francisco and the north bay. And really, all along the coastline, even through san mateo and the peninsula, now we can expect to keep the majority of this fog through the midmorning. San francisco really seeing that thick blanket, which means low visibility so make sure to use those low beams. Temperatures will be climbing into the upper 50s. We will see breaks of sunshine by mid afternoon. And thats your latest forecast. Well, now that the early christmas surprise for a group of kids left homeless after Hurricane Irma. Its been two months since irma tore through the caribbean virtual lie wiping out the island of barbuda. Thats why a group of volunteers headed down to bring a smile to some of the youngest victims. An entire island nearly wiped off the map. Sergeant george was there as Hurricane Irma barreled through barbuda at 150 Miles Per Hour leaving complete destruction in its wake. Is this the type of damage that were seeing all around . Yes, basically. You cannot come here because theres nothing. Theres nowhere to go. A virtual ghost town. This town square was once filled with shops and homes. Now blue tarp and debris as far as the eye can see. With their homes obliterated and their schools destroyed, the islands children have been forced to evacuate with their families to nearby antigua living in shelters. Its been a challenge. What do you miss about home . I miss my toys. Which is why a group of volunteers in North Carolina working for christian nonprofit samaritans purse is loading up a plane filled with shoe boxes stuffed with toys, dolls and other surprises for the displaced children of barbuda.

Michael is an artist with military level discipline. His days start early. His portraits start with the eyes. Ive drawn a lot of eyes. These eyes belong to a marine. For 14 years he has drawn the eyes of thousands who have served and died. When i get a fallen heros eyes done, the picture becomes alive to me. Its a commitment that dates back to 1968 when he was in vietnam and he was injured during a rocket attack. He looked at me and says mike, i just want to go home. From that moment he felt he had a debt to pay. He sketched celebrity portraits that were auctioned off raising millions for charity. Then in 2003 he pointed a pencil in a new direction, military heroes who died. It will bring back a smile to a widows face. How can i do anything else . God gave me this ability to draw pictures. From his home, he has now created more than 5,000 portraits through his Fallen Heroes project. Two pictures a day, each one taking five hours to finish. You said that you bring your heart a little bit every day. Every day. I hate the fact that i have to do this, but love the fact that i am. On this day hes drawing Staff Sergeant donald may who died in a tank accident in iraq in 2003. Thats one of my favorite pictures of him sitting on top of the tank with a big smile on his face. When he died wife debra was seven and a half months pregnant with a son who never got to meet his dad until now. Thats donalds son. In this portrait hes drawing two sets of eyes. They dont know this is whats coming. They just think its a picture of donald. Once finished the art work travels 900 miles to suburban utah where after 14 years the may family discovers they finally have a picture of father and son. Within seconds their eyes are drawn to his. It looks just like him. Thats his totally his eyes. Debra said she never thought shed get to see a new picture of her husband. That means a lot, doesnt it . Yes. Getting a new image of your loved one is an amazing experience. Its like christmas. All thanks to one man who each day repairs his broken heart by taking a five mile walk past the calming waters before stopping at a Veterans Memorial plaza. Its here he visits a tribute to vinny, the man who inspired it all. I think hes telling me im doing exactly what im supposed to do. That is how he fines the strength to get up and do it again just like he did for the may family. He brought him home. His eyes are perfect. It feels like im looking at him. Thats amazing. So he brought him home. For today, nbc news, south jordan utah. The familys reaction says it all. An incredible way to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. A perfect story for today.
