And a good evening to you on this friday night, as so Many Americans dig out and try to dry off from that massive noreaster, as now were learning its not over. Another snowstorm on the move. And this comes right after that pennsylvania highway turned into an epic pileup, look and imagine this the cars and trucks slammed together and stretching mile after mile after mile. Our extreme weather team is back out on the ice and snow tonight and abcs linzie janis starts us off right at the scene in pennsylvania. Reporter a treacherous commute for millions in the northeast. The roads outside philadelphia so slick, causing this fivemilelong chainreaction pileup. More than 100 cars. Dozens injured. Around that corner right there, and the sun was blinding and i missed the car in front of me by that much. Reporter the morning sun was shining, the roads mostly clear. But there was one problem. Temperatures plummeted overnight and turned this pennsylvania turnpike into a sheet of ice. I could see that there was going to be an impact. And then, i guess the air bags deployed. And then, it was sort of dark for a second. Reporter drivers scrambled to safety. The last blast of this noreaster struck violently overnight, with lightning and thundersnow. All up the east coast, collapsing roofs. This garage in new york city, crushed. Officials say a foot of heavy, wet snow on a home weighs as much as 28,000 pounds. Snow and ice, too much for the roof of this new jersey apartment building. There were a couple of little noises, and then all of a sudden, there was just a boom. Reporter ten families now homeless. In the south, the cleanup continues. In the air, a record amount of misery. More than 15,000 Flights Canceled just this week. Since january 1st, more than 76,000 grounded. And then, there are all of the snow days. Schools in at least 12 states and the district of columbia have run out of them. Not new york city. The mayor taking major heat for not closing schools thursday and appearing to blame it on the forecasters. Given the information we had, it was right to go ahead with school. Reporter the Philadelphia School district just announcing school will be open for three days at the april spring break. That stretch of turnpike now reopened after nearly eight hours. And diane, the last thing anyone wants to see here, more snow, 1 to 3 inches expected tonight. Oh, linzie, everyone asking, when will this end . Thank you. And abc meteorologist ginger zee is standing by with more and whats happening on the great lakes. Reporter the great lakes is a great reminder of the brutal winter it has been, a visual one at that, a virtual view of what the great lakes look right now, ice covered by 88. 4 . Thats the number that we have not seen for some 20 years, 1994, you see right there, was 90. 7. The alltime record happened in 1979, they were 95 . So, were nearing that record. And, yes, we do have a brief warmup next week. Before that happens, that snow, that linzie was talking about, is coming through, it hit indianapolis, cincinnati and then, you see new york in there, a little bit of snow, but the real majority of it is going to happen in eastern massachusetts, up towards parts of new england, were talking up to a foot in places and really the wind is going to be the big issue, thats why a blizzard watch has been issued for parts of the cape. I want to remind you, next week, at least we get a couple of days of relief. Holding you to that, ginger. Thank you so much. With so many people asking, is Climate Change playing a role in this extreme weather . Tonight, president obama is announcing he wants congress to give 1 billion for new research on Climate Change and new technologies. Hes also expected to pledge millions to help farmers battling that extreme drought out in california. And next here tonight, a lastminute scramble under way, right now, at the olympics. America speedskaters are shedding their suits, some of them blaming a new outfit for costing them the winning edge, and abcs matt gutman is on the ground in sochi for us again tonight. Reporter it is the fastest sport on two feet sprints raced on scalpels edges, determined by razorthin margins. In the mens 1,000meter race, the difference between gold and silver, just. 04 of a second. American shani davis, the worlds record holder, was expected to win. Instead, he came in eighth. In fact, after six races, not a single american speedskater has medaled. Tonight, Many American skaters are blaming not the power in their legs, but those new suits on their skin, engineered by under armour and lockheed martin, tested in wind tunnels for hundreds of hours, promoted as revolutionary. We have just built the fastest suit ever. Reporter new to these suits, the vent in the back, with these holes to keep athletes cool. But watch davis here. As he skates, air is flowing over his body, the suits job is to minimize how much that air slows him down. The concern now is that air is seeping into those vents, possibly causing a tiny balloon in the suit and creating an extra drag on the skater. At least one american speedskater even resorted to covering that back vent with rubber. American skater brian hansen saying, literally everyone is under performing, you can only look at so many factors, the suit is the easiest to fix. But one dutch gold medal skater offered another theory, it could also be that theyre just being outclassed. Tonight, word from the International Olympic committee, americans skaters can now switch to these suits, worn at the world cup in december, also designed by under armour, but without those back vents. Team usa hoping it will pave a path to gold. Tonight, under armour stands by those controversial suits, calling them the most scientifically advanced and rigorously tested ever. Were told those american speedskaters have all brought those old trusty suits with them and theyll be wearing them tomorrow. And the good news for the skaters, theyre only halfway through, they have six events left. Thats some pretty clever packing to bring the old suits. Now, tonight, we have the answer to a question everyone has been asking about a big story we reported. Jonathan martin, pro football player, 65 and 300 pounds, said his teammates bullied him and a new report, tonight, reveals how you bully someone that big and how deeply it can cut. Abcs ryan smith has the new details. Reporter today we learned what it takes to push 65, 312pound offensive lineman out of the sport he loves. The nfls independent investigator releasing a report ticking through how Jonathan Martin and others were victims of frequent harassment at the hands of Richie Incognito and other players. Evidence of vulgar sexual comments about martins mother and sister sometimes coming multiple times a day. Incognitos voice mails and Text Messages calling martin the n word and shine box, and inperson jokes about slavery. And homophobic and other degrading slurs hurled by other linemen, with such frequency that it became, according to martin, a routine part of his life with the dolphins. During it all, martin emailing his mother, im a pushover. And investigators say there was a notebook, kept by incognito, in which he speaks of breaking jmart. Its a notebook, the report says, he later asked teammates to destroy. Todays findings, a blow to Richie Incognito. His lawyer stating, the nfl report is replete with errors. Jonathan martin was never bullied by Richie Incognito or any members of the dolphins offensive line. But the report, firm in its assessment of bullying, goes on to say, even the largest, strongest and fleetest person may be driven to despair by bullying, taunting and constant insults. Ryan smith, abc news, new york. And next right here tonight, for the first time, youre going to hear from a man who just appeared in a san diego courtroom, on a question reaching into every american neighborhood, he is a dad who was there because he stored a gun in his home, where children could get to it. For the past year, we have been investigating a tough fact on average, every third day in america, a child dies in an accidental shooting. So, the question tonight, if that happens, should the gun owners be sent to prison . This week, todd francis, a father who once had a career as a computer specialist, stood in court pleading guilty. Guilty. Reporter two counts of endangering a child. You permitted the children to be in danger. Yes, your honor.

Reporter a father in an ordinary neighborhood, who came home and saw police in front of his garage. It was like every Police Squad Car was in my neighborhood.

His 9yearold daughter and her 10yearold friend eric got a hold of it, and it went off. 10yearold eric klyez was shot to death. I mean, eric was only 10. Reporter francis says he didnt really know that much about guns, and that, in fact, he got it because of what he had seen on tv. San diego has had some home invasions. You hear about it. On tv, and, um, it it just terrified me to think that, you know, somebody could break into my house. Reporter his house is in california, which is one of 14 states where the owner is criminally responsible for the gun is stored unsafely. To people who say if parents are not held accountable, this will keep happening. I feel horrible about what happened. I do feel accountable. Reporter and abc news found last year alone, 28 cases of adults facing criminal charges because a child used their gun accidentally to kill themselves or another child. Adults facing penalties that range from a fine to decades in prison. Though, todd francis says no prison could be worse than the one where he already lives. After the accident, his wife, who says she didnt know he was keeping a gun in the garage, left him, taking the children with her. He says he hasnt seen his son or his daughter since. But aches to think that he shattered his daughters life, too. What do you most want to hear your daughter say . You know, its okay, daddy. Reporter the human message for everybody watching from you is keep your guns locked, and dont assume that youre in control of your household.
