Mid60s on the way to places like san jose. 65 degrees here. 63 along the peninsula. And thats your latest weather. All right, al. Thank you very much. A little more now on the warm weathe3 c3 poco mas del clima calido aqui anne thompson, good morning to you at rosa khutor. Good morning. Designers of the halfpipe design it so they can catch a lot of air but designers are catching a lot of grief saying it is not up to olympic quality. Overnight organizers reworked the halfpipe after the design and some boarders blasted it as garbage and lame. I take it back. Including american shaun white geography his third gold medal later today. Hows the halfpipe . Its not best. I dont want to bag on it but its very disappointing. The riders say the bottom part of the pipe is bumpy and that creates trouble as they transition from high flying tricks on the 22 foot wall. Its just because its so sloppy in there. The snow quality is sloppy. Once they can firm it up, it will be better. Unlike complaints last week over the slopestyle course some riders labeled as dangerous, the concern at the halfpipe is quality. You want it to be a 10 for competition. I would say its like a solid 5 1 2, 6 right now. Riders say the Current Conditions dont hurt or benefit any particular snowboarder, just their ability to perform at their very best. Were all riding the same halfpipe. Its a shame its not perfect. Along with white and davis, taylor and gregg are in the same halfpipe and hopefully conditions will be colder. Matt. Thank you so much. We will hear from shane white coming up in our next half hour. Now to Julia Mancuso already added to her record as the most decorated olympic skier in history. She took bronze in the super combined, an electric start to her competition in sochi. Shes with us. Good morning to you. Congratulations. Hi. Thank you. Well, you really did it. You lived up to your reputation of coming up with a big win in a big moment. Do you kind of just thrive on the pressure . Does that help you perform at your best . I mean, it definitely is surprising for me yesterday. I want ed ed to have a really g race, putting myself in this position after the down hill to be able to ski a solid slalom run was something also questionable for me was really cool. Yeah. Amazing. The pressure i thrive off the atmosphere and the love for my hometown and my family. Its just been awesome. I want to ask you about that slalom. For the first part, this is a two element race. For the down hill, you crushed it, you blew away the competition. Then you are facing the slalom, not your event. I read you hadnt even completed a full slalom in practice in a year. Whats going through your mind at that point . I mean, it was a really tough hill up there. The snow conditions, it was getting warmer and i knew that i just had to make it to the finish and just keep fighting the whole way down. Thats basically what was going through my mind. I didnt know that so many skiers skied out but i knew for my run and to cross the finish line, just to be proud of my race, i needed to finish that run. Honestly i didnt think i would be that fast and thats why i was so excited when i crossed the finish line and saw there was a 3 next to my name and meant i was on the olympic podium again which means i get this medal. Its all the more wonderful because i know you dedicated this race to your grandfather who passed away a year ago. It sounds like he meant a lot to you in your skiing career. Yeah. Hes been an incredible inspiration for me and been a really big part of my family and one of the reasons why my parents got me so into skiing was because of my grandfather. After i won that first down hill it was just him in my ear saying how proud of me he was that i even finished that first round in first so i knew i had to go out and ski with my heart and do my best for him so thanks, grandpa. Ah. Did you do it, really. Your grandmother was there watching as well, i understand. Before i let you go, julia, what do you think about these warm temperatures up on the mountain. Are they helping you out . Its tough. I definitely like the snow a little softer. Its been good for me and theres definitely a fine line and hopefully it stays just cold enough to have good races. Julia mancuso, were so proud of you, too, congratulations and we look forward to your races coming up. Thank you so much. Thank you. Shes cool. I like her. Amazing. Jenna bush hager is with us now. What is the conversation thats going on online right now . Natalie touched on this amazingly heartwarming story earlier. You guys may remember it from the vancouver olympics when canadian skier Alex Bilodeau dedicated his gold medal to his brother, frederick with Cerebral Palsy and we saw it again monday when alex won gold in the moguls. After winning he rushed to embrace frederick and called frederick his greatest inspiration. The touching moment has everybody talking online. Andrew tweeted the love between Alex Bilodeau and his brother is the most beautiful thing ive seen this olympics. Nothing brings you more to tears than Alex Bilodeau and his brother. Thats what family is all about. Brothers by blood and best friends by choice. This got us thinking for your greatest inspiration, let us know using the sochi today and well hear more from alex, matt, i think you will talk with him later on. Thats right. It is an amazing story. And the hug. What is your greatest inspiration . We have to think about that. Let us know. Pop quiz from jenna this morning. Thats a big question. Answer it. Jenna, thank you.

Have you been able to check out the course . And if so, what do you think . Yeah. Got a training run today and it was pretty good. Conditions were really good in spite of being really warm. And now im looking forward to getting more and more dialed in over the next couple of days and racing on friday. Weve heard a lot of your fellow skiers being a bit concerned about the conditions. The fact its warm and getting warmer. Is that something that will be on your mind . I cant control the conditions. So its going to be what it is. Id rather see harder, icier conditions, which is what our racers like. And right now, its like that. But if it stays warm, who knows what its going to be like. I heard you actually have some experience in this venue because youve done some training with the russian team. Thats got to be an advantage. Yeah. We trained here for a week after world championships, and i was mostly training, im one of the only guys in the world thats actually seen full length. That gives me a little bit of an advantage, more of the sense i wont have the anxiety of having to run this the first time in the olympics. But it was nice to be able to train here with the russians the last couple of years. Meantime, you have just been on a tare, your 2012 2013 season is one for the record books. Is Something Like that a confidence boost as you go into the olympics or kind of add to the pressure because you know everybodys looking at you . The olympics theres always pressure. Theres no really way around that. Having the season i had last year and having the season im having this year, you know, adds pressure a little bit in a sense. But thats kind of what you want it to be. You want to be having a season where you have the pressure on you. That means youre skiing well and doing the right thing. Im embracing that and looking forward to the opportunity to put down good races here. And speaking of pressure, i have seen these games referred to as the, quote, cant miss sochi showdown between you and bode miller. Do you see, is there a healthy rivalry there . And is it motivating . Bode was one of my heroes growing up. It was fun to be on the ski team my first couple of years on the ski team. And now going back and forth with him. He has me for sure in the speed events and i have him in the second events. And combined is where our two skillsets converge. Its always a fight in between those events. Were always rooting for each other. Were pretty good friends, super competitive in training and doing other sports. But were always rooting for each other and hoping each other do really well. And so, its going to be fun here. Hopefully we both get some medals. Well, well be rooting for both of you, as well. Ted ligety, thanks so much and best of luck. Thanks.

I want to talk about this run that secured the gold medal for you. Some are calling it a perfect run. I think you told some it was the finest run of your career. And when you consider it may have come at the biggest moment of your career, how did you come up with that run . I think its pretty well said, i did the best run i could have done on that course.

Also some snow in the mountains. Check it out, that western storm coming on in. Its going to be bringing more rain, more showers, more storms. But they need it. So thats good news. Theyre finally picking it up. Look at this, rainfall amounts up to 4 inches along the coast and the mountain snows, were talking about another foot to a foot and a half before its all hey, thanks, al. Temperatures are still chilly and we still have that fog across the bay area. So give yourself extra time if you can. Temperatures today will creep up to about 66 degrees along the east shore, and 63 in the east bay. You want to still travel cautiously. We accumulated over a foot of rainfall in napa. And thats your latest weather. All right. As weve announced on monday, al and i are trying to make a triumphant return, we hope, to the doubles luge. Not like the original was so great. Exactly. Well, we began by learning how to party like an olympian. And today we are focusing on our wardrobe. And we want to find that el loo elusive olympic swagger. Weve done about everything in the leadup to these games. Spandex, sparkles, been in a pool in swimsuits. I think what were missing is some kind of swagger, some kind of bold statement. Norwegian curlers. If anybodys got swagger with their costumes, its you guys, your uniforms. Whats with the colors . You need to stick out in the crowd. You need to stick out. You know, weve seen some of the past outfits, can you give us a hint as to what youll be sporting this time . Oh, you need to be looking crazy colorful. Thats the only way to do. Do you think that we could pull off wearing your olympic outfits . Definitely. Yeah . Are you ready for this . I am ready. No, are you ready . Yeah, we curl. No fear of just blending in. No. You like the outfits . You like this . Who wants a piece of this . What do you think . Too much swagger . Nah. There you go. Youre right. We brought you presents. These are as if our outfits couldnt get worse. Peoples eyes will bleed. Exactly. Now, tomorrow yeah. Uhoh. You ladies are going to have to control yourselves. Cover your eyes. Were going to go to a bania, its half way to the mountains here in sochi. Heres matt getting spanked. Is it a bathhouse . Oh, wow. Theres al getting spanked. Are you going to subject us to this, really . Youll see some of this video tomorrow. Part of your training routine . Training. Up next, okay, one of sochis biggest stars, an underdog, speedskater shani davis and his quest for that perfect race. But first this is today on nbc. Were back with a shot of olympic park. And shani davis has four career olympic medals and looking to add to that legacy here in sochi. Lester holt spent some time with the groundbreaking speed skater. Good to see you. Good to see you, as well. The fact that shani davis placed 24th in the 500 meter sprint event was hardly a surprise. Short distances are not his strength and the race was viewed as a little more than a warmup for his sweet spot. That is the 1,000 meter which hes managed to cash in for gold at the past two olympics. If he does it again, davis will be skating in rarefied air. Just waiting to hear the gun blow to send you on your way for your race. Shani davis describes the perfect race. Hit your first few strides really good, feel good, youre not getting tired and you can skate. Youre not worrying about technique. Twice in his career, he says, he skated the perfect race, but never at the olympics. Going for an olympic gold medal. Its not stopped him, however, from winning gold in the 1,000 meter in torino and vancouver. And hes got another gold medal and if the experts are right, hes likely to do it again in sochi. You want to have more of the underdog approach. Because those are just words, you know. The biggest thing for me is to go out there and not let those titles or names or whatever to distract me from doing what it is i have to do. At 31, davis has raced past lots of critics and drama as someone who once distanced himself from his team while carving out his solo career. Today, along with his speed and form, he brings Something Else to sochi nearly as valuable, maturity. It was really hard to overcome some of those things. Adversity to controversy, things like that. But im really thankful for those things at the same time because it made me a strong person. His career journey is one of those great but improbable olympic stories. The only child of a single mom. It doesnt make sense to me because i grew up on the south side of chicago, went to an all black grammar school. Theres no rinks in the area. The closest one is probably 35, 40 minutes away drive and the ice only available on tuesdays and thursdays. Youre a natural. Look at that. Shani davis is loose, playful good technique. Love it, man. Every day i wake up. His constant smile belies the fierce competitor inside of him. You can see the look on his face grimacing. Davis with the silver. Definitely keeps me hungry because it stops me from being the complete middle distance skater. I have a half of it, im looking for the other half now. Still sticks in, doesnt it . I cant help it. Hell get his shot again to become the most decorated u. S. Male long track speed skater in olympic history. Along with more chances for perfection. Everything falls into place and the race is over a lot sooner than you thought it would be. Thats the perfect race. At 31, shani admitted hes beginning to feel his age, arent we all, but asked whether this will be his olympic swan song. He was noncommittal. Right now hes working on cementing his title as king of the 1,000. And well see him in the 1,000 meter tomorrow. Great story. And coming up next, from skis to skating skins, the new technology that could give team usa the winning edge. But first, this is today on nbc.

Were back now what did the bunny say . I have no idea. Were back in sochi, at the olympics. The difference between a gold medal, silver medal or no medal at all can be hundredths of a second. Thats why so many of our athletes invest in new technology to give them the extra edge they need. Here to show us the latest in gear on display in sochi is clint carter. Good to see you. Yeah. Its a pleasure. This is hightech stuff. Some of the stuff will never trickle down to the average person. The average consumer, civilians like us cant get. This is just for the athletes. For example, long track speed skaters, theyve teamed up underarmour with lockheed martin. Yeah. They put a lot of energy. Two years, top secret development to come up with this suit. And theres a lot of really fancy technology in this. It doesnt work when you see it on a table. Lets check out Mitch Whitmore from team usa. How you doing . Doing okay. What does it feel like to have on . Its not the most comfortable thing standing up, but in the skating position, its not too bad. You competed yesterday in the 500 meter. What was that like wearing this . Going out there, giving it your all . Its awesome. To be in the olympics is really exciting, all the fans there cheering me on. It was awesome. Thats awfully cool. And theres mitch on the ice and here they are here. Show me one more time. How do you get the webs to come out like that . Thats cool. Thank you very much. Congratulations. Thank you. What else do you have . Next we have the hockey skate, right . A lot of guys on team usa will be wearing this. How do you make it faster and you design it more like a speed skate. Theyve raised the heel to put the pressure in the toe, changed the lacing. And theyve got this tendon guard back here pushes the foot forward, and one side is slightly lower than the other to encourage you to push your foot outward. They tested this skate and found it made their skaters 13 faster. Thats a huge advantage. Thats great. And is this Technology Available for people . That is an expensive skate, though, about 700. Thats a lot of pucks. Talk to me about the goggles. So ted ligety started this brand to address what he thought were vision problems out skiing. So hes done a few things here to make vision more clear. And so you can get a bigger range. Hes made the goggles bigger. Thats your peripheral. Hes addressed what is pressure buildup between the layers of lenses which can create distortion. Hes put an air vent in each lens. And of course hes made it so you can pop it out easy so you can have a different tint or color as you need it. And those are also available to the average skier . Yep. You can get those, as well. And these helmets. Falling is part of the sport. Thats the fun part, i think. No, snowboarders are using these. What she likes about them, though, is the fact youve got this really thick impact resistant foam in here. So it takes multiple impacts. If you take a spill, get back up and keep going. Because the pressure goes into the foam, you can have a flexible shell thats more comfortable. Also, you can pop your ear buds into the ear flaps. They love that. You always see that. Crosscountry skis right here. Why are these so hightech . Well, the great thing about the special ski. Its a crosscountry ski, the c stands for core. Its designed for core snow. So the bottom is really, really hard and absorbs more wax. Its a very specialized ski that the average consumer cannot even buy. Wow. So the average skier incredibly light. Incredibly light. If youre going to have 8 to 20 different skis to carry with them. And if you want something for your driveway going downhill with the kids. Right. Its a bmw that goes faster than i ever drive on the road, so like 90 miles an hour. Team usa hasnt been doing so great the past few years. The twoman bobsled team, but theyve teamed up with bmw to create an entirely new bobsled. Its lower, more narrow, more aerodynamic. And spend a lot of time in the wind tunnel with this thing to get it that way. They have a weight requirement. Should they put weights in the bottom in strategic places to make it more faster down the track . Thank you so much. Clint carter. And coming up next, what is the best way to end a day of skiing . Natalie gets a lesson from an expert lindsey vonn. But first, this is today on nbc. Almond. A good that comes in 25 flavors. From whole natural to wasabi and soy sauce. And once good gets going, theres no stopping it. Get your good going. Blue diamond. Snack nut of u. S. Snowboarding. Welcome back to sochi.

And thanks for joining us here in our home away from home. Weve enjoyed having you. Thank you. Have fun in sochi. Well, of course, as we all know, for the athletes to the event and the competition, but for the rest of us who hit the slopes, its about Something Else, isnt it, natalie . Well, intensity and all that, as well. Were not talking about skiing, but after the hard day at skiing, its about drinking, socializing, something we love to do. Even with knee injuries preventing lindsey vonn from joining the competition, that didnt stop us back in new york. Reporter you can ski for fun, you can ski for olympic gold, or you can opre ski. This is the closest thing we could find to mountains and skiing in the center of midtown manhattan. We recently headed to new york citys Aspen Social Club for a little apres ski. Youve been doing it for quite a while now. Youve been skiing your whole life. Yeah, big tradition over in europe, they love the apres ski. When were done with races, Everyone Wants us to come over to tents where everyones drinking and want to celebrate. And never can usually take part in it because i always have a race the next day. But at the same time, its something fun and cool to see the fans get excited. Theres a Little Something in there. Little surprise if youre okay with that. Youre ahead of me here. Yeah. Im glad you got here when you did. Jump in there. Help yourself. Hard to resist. The first time eating on television. You do it so daintily. Youre perfect at it already. Oh, thats good. Good. Mmhmm. You know how to work that marshmallow. Whats in this exactly . I dont know. Apres with tiger at all now . Or is he not able to do the ski thing . Well, were both competing all the time. I love these marshmallows. What does your spring look like then . Im doing a lot of rehab. Its a lot of walking. You dont realize. Its like five hours of walking. Last year at the masters, that was my first tournament and it was a lot. So well see. Getting back out there real soon, right . When i get better, ill give you a ski lesson. Really . Promise . I promise. Yeah. I got that on tape, right . I am signing up for a ski lesson with lindsey vonn. Dont expect any olympians here taking part in apres ski. Theyre all about the competition, but when the competition is over, different story. Question of the day, do you apres with tiger . She gives her a drink and starts going for the relationship. Well done, natalie. Well done. I try. Coming up, were going to take a rare look inside one of russias most famous landmarks talking about the kremlin. But first on a Tuesday Morning, a check of the local news and weather and well be played out. Good morning, everyone. It is 8 56, im scott mcgrew. A bay area wine is on the table tonight as president obama hosts frances president. They will be served wine with dinner. Christina loren, good morning. I am going to be revisiting what you just said. 58 degrees, stand by, scott mcgrew. 66 along the peninsula today, and 65 in the south bay. All of that fog burning off as we head low about 11 00 a. M. The south bay looking like a beautiful finish to the day. Again. Youll curse the fact that something you mastered as a 1yearold is now so difficult. But you will take that first step. And you will never stop moving forward. At citi, we believe in everyones potential, which is why citi and rico are giving back to paralympic sports programs to help future athletes every step of the way. From nbc news, this is a special edition of todays take. With al roker, Natalie Morales, and willie geist. Live from the olympic winter games in sochi, russia. Very cool. That opening shot. Love that shot. That sky cam going across. Yeah. Literally runs about 1 2 mile the entire length of this olympic park. Absolutely beautiful. Another pretty day here. Welcome today on a Tuesday Morning, february 11th, 2014. Im willie geist along with al roker and Natalie Morales. We are at olympic park in sochi, russia. Again today, a little bit mild. To start. Now its gone gray. Gets colder for us as the sun starts to go down behind the stadiums. But theyre having problems up in the mountains, as well. Yeah . Im not sure. I dont know. Todays a couple of numbers. Whats the deal . I guess we all have to talk into it. The temperatures near 60 degrees again today. It has dropped down. However, up in the mountains, it is way too warm so the halfpipe practice was postponed. In fact, a lot of qualifying canceled for today. And theyre going to push things back to tonight when now temperatures, sun goes down, temperatures start to drop. But this is going to be a problem going right on into thursday. No question about it. Shaun white competing today, going for his third gold in the halfpipe. Did very well. But he did say earlier in the week, this is a very difficult halfpipe. The conditions are not good. He tried to put a smile on it. But he was not the only one. Many of these competitors in the halfpipe saying this is a really tough course. A little messy. The snows not what you want it to be. Its more difficult to pull off some of the tricks. On the slopestyle, the skiers today, their inaugural event here making that debut here. And there were a couple of falls, as well. One of the canadian skiers had to be taken off the mountain in, you know, was injured a little. You dont want to see. Yes, it does kind of make it equal for everybody, everybody has problems. But when you have athletes of this caliber getting injured. I think people have to sit up and take notice. When youre talking about some of the moves that guys like shaun white are going to do, they need every inch of height they can get. The twist or whatever hes doing. I had a twist the other day. How was that . It was tasty. Oreo . Yeah, and they put the butterscotch. Just delightful. Hey, good news, the u. S. Did earn another medal today. Devin logan earning a silver medal in freestyle skiing. The u. S. Has six medals, two of them gold, one silver and three bronze. Norway has ten total. Canada has nine and russia the home country has seven medals right now. Now, what are we going to do with our good buddy johnny quinn . The bobsledder. He escaped from a locked Hotel Bathroom famously on saturday by punching a hole in the door. Everybodys seen this photograph by now. A photo of his misadventure with the sochijailbreak. Well, monday, johnny quinn trapped again. He and Nick Cunningham stuck this time in an elevator. And he once again tweeted out the photograph. Theres no punching that elevator door. No. He thought better of it. He got out eventually. My gosh, i hope he makes it to his event. Just dont travel with him. Thats right. Get in the car with johnny no. Its going to be rough. You dont want to travel with johnny quinn. I noticed you and matt in the norwegian pants and coat. And matching jacket. The curling team making fashion news. They have busted it out. The assortment of colorful pants. Their uniform looks kind of like a paint splatter, which is cool. Wow. Look at these pants monday in the match against the u. S. Its kind of like yeah. I actually was over at the venue at the curling. I watched norway against the United States, talked to them afterwards and they said its norwegian tetrus. You can go lego, but they prefer tetrus. Do they have pants for every match . Matt and i had these on. These are the vancouver edition. Now you have the tetrus from last night. And they say, they have enough to wear a different pair for every match. If someone gets lucky, they may keep wearing those. I wonder if this is going to start catching on worldwide. Not just for curling. Were talking worldwide. I dont think so. Golf course. Well, golf has been there. Not quite this loud. But look at this that pair you saw. That was pretty loud. The russians kind of caught wind of this. I saw them wearing pants, as well. I think its a curling thing . Yeah. And how great, we spent time with this norwegian curling team. Theyre the best. Theyre great guys. Theres been some talk Going Forward. Thats what you and matt do. Wow. I just got a visual ill never get out. Sorry. Well, you know, you use stones. Oh. Lets not go any further. What . Good luck sleeping tonight, folks. Nobody wants that visual. No. They are great guys. So far, my favorite story of the games. Oh, this is great. The canadian mogul skier Alex Bilodeau, dedicating his gold medal to his brother frederick who has Cerebral Palsy. Heres what alex said about the inspiration he gets from his brother. I wake up in the morning and its raining outside, i want to go train, i dont want to go out ski. I look at my brother and i see if he had that chance, he would go. Now, alex won the gold in vancouver, won in his home country. He always says his brother is his big inspiration, frederick. Hes such an incredible young man. And hearing him earlier with matt talk about how he doesnt test test spotlight, that he wishes his brother could h. Av. A little bit of a. Hollywood star in the 1930s as a child achieving worldwide fame for singing and dancing on the good ship lollipop was her most famous song. Baby take a bow. Yeah, she was the number one box office draw of the year 1935. Thats right. Really amazing. Youngest Academy Award winner, right . Yeah. Shes incredible. What talent at the age of 2 or 3 to be able to tap dance and sing the way she did. Just amazing. And became sort of an activist after 21. Ambassador. What a life. By the way, at the height of her fame, photographed more often than the president of the United States, fdr. He wasnt happy about that. No, he took that up with his publicist. She lived a very full life. Did so many different things, decided to get out of acting at the age of 21 and got into yeah. What a great life she had. As you said, full life but really made such a mark in history. My two Young Children go out to a restaurant, what do they order . Shirley temple. They love the Shirley Temple.

Low pressure developed along that stationary front. Gulf moisture comes out of the gulf. Rain to start, but then cold air comes out of the north. And the battle zone is where this icing is going to happen starting late tonight on into tomorrow. Delta airlines already canceling 500 flights, schools closed from louisiana all the way into the southeast. We could be looking at up to an inch and a half of ice just to the east of atlanta into parts of the carolinas. And then, the system makes its way up the coast. Were going to be watching that develop as it does. We look for maybe some snow, heavy snow along the midatlantic coast into the northeast. Thats whats going 9 11 now and were still tracking that thick fog for your morning drive. Were in the heart of rush hour, but it is clearing. Santa rosa its thick, youll stay in it until almost noon today. You can only see about three quarters of a mile. 60s today, a comfortable day. And rain early tomorrow in the t rth bay. Weather.

Usa today said 51 say the man should pay, 2 say the woman should pay, 30 say whoever asks for the date should pay for the date, 12 say split the bill, what say you, Natalie Morales . I say whoever asks. I think it seems right. If the woman makes the move, i think shes got to also offer to pay. Now, whether or not the man accepts is the question. Its hard. Is it hard . Its hard. I still would pay, you know. What about drinks . If you say, hey, ill get the drinks this time around and next time well go out for dinner. Still hard for me. Come on. Maybe if its like a movie. You pay for the tickets and let her get the popcorn. Yeah. Concession stand. Rack up the concession stuff. Can i have the nachos . Yeah. While youre at it. Very nice. Can i have a churro . What movie theaters are going to. Honestly, the food is getting better. You can order a whole meal. Gelado at my theater. Go to the weather. Its chilly, everybody you know what, i would like to get everybody in the northeast a nice warm churro because its going to be rough coming up. Look at this, another winter storm. Once it gets done with the southeast, its going to make its way to the northeast, as well. Bringing with it, heavy rain, snow, ice as it tracks up. This becomes a classic noreaster. Heres the rub. You notice that blue line, the 32degree line. Depending on where that sets up, we could see in new york 8 inches of snow, 14 inches back through the southeast, 5 inches in boston, or an inch in new york city, 4 inches in roanoke, 10 inches as you make your way into atlanta. But then, another area only an inch, and then finally the last model, new york city, could be 7 inches of snow, 13 inches of snow down near d. C. So its really going to be very critical where that 32degree line sets up. Anybody tells you they know whats going to happen, theyre lying. Theyre whistling through their hat. Thats whats going on around the co 9 33. Good morning. We have thick fog this morning. It is clearing up in San Francisco and the immediate coast. The wind is picking up. Only three miles of visibility available to you. A little blue trying to breakthrough. The sunshine warms up the top layer of the cloud deck. Temperatures today will be comfortable later on, 66 degrees on the way to the east bay, 66 in San Francisco, clouds lingering all day long, 63 in the north bay for today. Well, here in sochi, on the beautiful coast of the black sea. About 1,000 miles north, im told its that way, lies the russian capital of moscow and the heart of the city is the kremlin. In america, the iconic fortress inspired spy novels among other things, but theres much more to it. Stephanie gosk got a unique look inside. Great to see you. Good to see you, too. The kremlin is the seat of the russian government, but it is also home to some of the most beautiful palaces, cathedrals and museums in the world. I got the once unheard of chance to go behind those walls and take a look inside. Russias fortress as recognizable as it is formidable. The red walls of the kremlin has stood on this hill in the center of moscow for more than five centuries. Really wasnt that long ago it was unheard of to find an american just strolling around here. Today, its a little bit more common. But for someone like myself who grew up in the final throes of the cold war, this is still pretty cool. Reporter the kremlin remains the russian seat of government where president putin lives and works, but its much more. Museums, palaces and cathedrals. The glittering domes are a rare bright spot in a city that can often feel dark and gritty. This is where the czars were kor nat. Its so important and so special it was for katherine the great, the russian empress. Her most impressive collection is still kept here, including the Great Imperial crown, diamonds lined with pearls and topped one of the most precious stones in the world. From every angle of the kremlin, an era of russian history comes to life. And above it all, a clock that has beautifully marked the passage of time. 226 steps up a winding staircase to the top. Historians say theres been a clock in this tower in the kremlin since the 16th century. A number of them burned down, one was even actually mortared in 1917. Peter the great had his own clock here, he brought it all the way from amsterdam. None of that exists. But some of these pieces are still incredibly old, dating back to the early 1800s. It has to be maintained every single day. Reporter at noon, the National Anthem rings out across red square. The bells are like a daily reminder. The kremlin is where russias history began, a symbol of power filled with centuries of mystique. Reporter walking on the kremlin, you get a sense of the breadth of russian history. Also one of those rare opportunities where you can live like a bond girl. At least for a day, right . Wow. Thats cool. Great report. Guys, weve got to get up there. Weve got to get to moscow. Its fantastic. The ring of steel. Well sneak out. Thanks so much. Coming up next, valentines day is this friday. Whats the number one mistake that men make year after year .

And if your girlfriend ovr spoue says she doesnt want anything, she does. Here to help us steer away from romantic pitfalls clint carter. And a woman who knows a thing or two about love, e correspondent, clint, ally, good to see you guys. Before we get into specific issues, even though a lot of folks say, oh, its just a holiday that the greeting Card Companies make. Make a lot of money off of. This is a big deal. It is. I think it is. It depends what stage you are in your relationship. If youre early on in your relationship, its a huge deal. If you dont do something for valentines day, the relationships basically over. But if youre longer in your relationship, doesnt matter that much. Its a big opportunity for failure. If you get it right, you keep things moving along. But if you screw it up moving forward. Why go any further, right . So lets look at some of these. Quinn, ill start with you. One mistake women tend to make, focusing only on themselves. Assuming the holiday is all about her. You know, its not a birthday. Romance is a twoway street. So i think guys expect something. We dont need flowers. But we need to see an effort. Tell me what you want. You need to give me feedback. Where should we go to dinner . Guys have feelings, too. Well, what do you think . I think thats a good point. I think its about both men and women. But for me, i think one of the biggest mistakes that guys make and this is, again, it depends what stage in your relationship. Early on in your leadership, giving yellow flowers. That sends a signal this is a friend, not a romantic relationship. If you really are serious about this girl, just go for the red roses. What if she likes yellow . Theyre going to analyze everything. The color of the rose. What about pink or white . Is there nothing but red . Just avoid and go with the red. White is like, you know, white flowers. Again, you dont want to screw it up. Here in russia, if you give an even number of flowers, like a dozen roses, it means you want that person to die. Really . Its like a weird thing in russia. I asked russian people earlier. The darkest valentines day present ever. Even is bad here in russia. Okay. Wow. So now, for women, i was going to say, for women, a lot of us like to say, dont get me anything. Please, dont worry about it. Especially if youve been with somebody for a long time if youre in a relationship. Thats a mistake for the guys to believe were actually saying dont get us anything, right . Yes. Doing nothing is a big mistake. Even if we say, oh, i dont want anything. You want something. Even if youve been married for 15, 20 years, he wants a little thing. Doesnt mean to go to buy some cheesy gift. Means do something thoughtful, even if its making me toast in the morning. Little things count. But i think when women say they dont care about it and they actually do, that can be hard to read. Guys arent mind readers. We need to know that, yeah, wed like to do something. You want specifics . Maybe not specifics. Elements of surprise, but not like, oh, i dont care about white table cloths and romance and then, you know, you wind up at chilis drinking margaritas. Which goes to the next thing, it shouldn appear at the minim you put effort into this. Yes, i think a little bit of effort. Another mistake people can make is waiting until the last minute. Guys go to the drugstore and grab that cheesy gift. Put in a tiny bit of effort, whether its getting a picture of the two of you framed and giving it to your significant other. Just the Little Things count, though. Thoughtful effort. Fair enough. Fair enough. Good idea. Thanks so much. Great. And coming up, historys about to be made in sochi.

Getting ready for a big concert going on. Its also al dance party. And also tonight, youre going to see history made here at the olympics. Not only will the womens ski jump be an Olympic Event for the first time, shaun white may become the First American male to win the gold medal in three consecutive winter games. And heres a preview, alan abrahamson. Welcome. Lets talk ski jumping first. Im exciting for this event. I know how hard these women have worked to get this event here. For sure. Tell me about what went into that. Four years ago, the ioc did not let these ladies jump. They said, no, the event is really just not yet an olympic sport. Tonight, were going to make history. See the ladies fly off the hill just like the guys do. Incredible. Lets talk about the american competitors. How are we feeling about medals here . Probably not. If youd asked me a year ago or even as recently as last summer, i would say Sara Henderson would be a favorite, but she blew out her knee in the training jump. Shes recovering now. Yeah. So shes had trouble in training. Maybe she can come through tonight. You never know, things happen at the olympics. What about the mens halfpipe . Any surprises there . No, no surprises. The surprise only is that shaun white, mr. Threepeat went half speed and still leads the qualifying with a 95. Honestly, the front five double cork 1440. What exactly is that . Im going to explain it. Theres math involved. Two somersaults. Yeah. Four twists. Okay. 720, 720, 1440. And hes one of the only guys that can do this. Two guys in the world can do it. He and a russianborn swiss guy. In snowboarding he goes by the nickname ipod, thankfully. I like that. At the olympics, theres a big premium placed on new tricks. If you can land it, if shaun lands a trick, gold. How big of a deal are the conditions up there . We heard shaun and others saying its not in great shape. Its not in great shape. And the weather, were sitting here basically in a sweatshirt. The weather has not been kind. And you really need hard, icy snow. And the weather is not conditioned for hard, icy snow. Its not been great. The weather is definitely a factor. It might be a little slushy. But you know what, as we get it toward night, the finals are not until 9 30 tonight. Its going to harden up. Next is Pairs Short Program tonight. So whos favored here . Well, for sure the russians. Lets be realistic. Nobodys saying theres collusion, conspiracy. But for one, the russians are the world champions from last year. Number two, were in russia. Thats just the way stuff happens. Home Team Advantage . Home Team Advantage for sure. And theyve skated brilliantly in the team event the other night. Youve got to say that tatyana and maksim, they have the advantage. For sure they do. Theyve been skating together forever, too. Theyve got their routine. A lot of people talking about renaissance in figure skating, gracie gold, Ashley Wagner another. What is the present and the future of american skating . To be gentle about it, the present, not so much. I think theres a very good chance to take a deep breath and say this gently. Theres a good chance that outside of ice dancing, in which meryl and charlie might very well walk away with the gold, aside from that, mens and ladies singles, the americans might leave here without a gold for the First Time Since 1936. Hope we can prove you wrong somehow. Womens crosscountry airing tonight . Yeah. Airing tonight. We thought there might be a very, very good chance the United States might win a medal in this event for the First Time Since 1936. Didnt happen. 1976, right . 1976, excuse me. 1976. Thank you. Alan. Always great to catch up with you. You can catch the olympic action tonight at 8 00 7 00 central here on nbc. Were back in a moment. This is today on nbc. How do we miss kathie lee and hoda .

A bay area man could be let out of jail and back in california win jails. He will stand trial for reportedly possessing a weapon of mass destruction. Yesterday in court, prosecutors showed pictures of what they call bomb making materials found in in the former carlman high schools students apartment. By the end of the week, he could be headed back to the bay area to live with his parents until the trial begins. Lets check weather with christina. Were clearing out nicely, scott.

I think we should challenge our viewers to come to the plaza. Okay. Lets count, one, two, three, four, five about 22. If we can beat 22 tomorrow. Lets try. It doesnt take much to make hoda happy. You know what used to make me happier than anything in the whole world . A Shirley Temple movie. Ive seen all of the ones when she was little. I was just saying to hoda this morning, she passed away, she say from Natural Causes. 85 years old. And she was only 6. Look how beautiful. Even the dimples. Heres the song i think so many generations remember this song. Its on the good ship lollipop. On the good ship lollipop its a sweet ship a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay oh, my favorite. When she says crackers in my soup but if you havent seen the movie heidi, i mean, she should have been an Academy Award nominated for that. It was such an incredible performance from such a young, young little actress. I really think, hoda, you want to make your little nieces so happy. Yeah. They have them colorized now. And get them the entire set of all of her films and sit there with your nieces because youve never seen them, really. I think ive seen one. Oh, magic. Its so amazing to know that she did all of her movies before the age of 22. And retired. Mostly before a teenager. More popular than clark gable. The biggest star in the world. In the world. And then went into politiciaauo 77. She has two daughters and a son. And great granddaughters. Theres not a movie that youre not sobbing and laughing and singing along. Such a talent. A brilliant, brill woman. Again, the olympics are there. Then go to russia and leave us alone. Bob costas and mary carillo did something what we enjoy doing. And i think we came up. Lets take a listen. This is real stuff, guaranteed. Okay it. Okay. This is not some sort of water or something. This the hoda and kathie lee portion . Yeah. Im not a vodka guy.

Im looking for a chaser and theres nothing. That will teach ya. That was not nice, jerry. Vodka. We do have six here. The reason we have six, so far the United States has won six medals. Were in fourth place tied with russia. Were going to line our desk with a vodka shot for each medal, thats a great way to acknowledge. Yeah. I dont know if you guys saw it, bob costas eye is getting worse. I still cant see it. Heres a closeup. Come on. Well, here is what happened. Its so bad. Hes actually in a lot of pain. Now matt is take over his nighttime olympic duties. But matt didnt know it. He asked him. Take a look. Bob, how are you doing, bud . Well even worse when you saw me this morning, sochi time. So reluctantly i was trying to throw a complete game here. But i think well have to go to the bull pen. And i dont know if youre aware of this or not youre mariano rivera, at least tonight. Oh, so im going to step in for you tonight. The master at olympic prime time. I believe thats it. Lets hope its only tonight. Hes got some very serious eye infection. Not going to the other eye. I cant believe hes not on massive antibiotics. Remember when i had gloria. She had a sty. I named her because of gloria steinem. You got to have fun with these things. It was bigger than delaware. I put a steye. And then you got it lanced. I cant believe those are real. Myself. It was so sexy. Anyway, if there is an olympic moment thats so touching and warm, there are the bilodeau brothers. Theres a young man and his brother has Cerebral Palsy. Their relationship is an incredible one. After the brother won the gold, he hugged his other brother. Take a look. Whoo another wonderful moment for the brothers bilodeau. Alexander and frederick. Arms around your brother frederick, and youve got to have that same moment again tonight. You can watch it all day. Yeah. He kept saying i love you, i love you. Thats just precious. He actually spoke about it. He talked about how his brother was his inspiration every single day and its just so touching. I have a very good friend from canada who is a twitter follower of mine. I adore her. She told me yesterday that yesterday was canadas family day. Great. So how lovely that on family day, we are that moment, you know . Yeah. Well, alex, you understand how much he loved his brother when he spoke to matt. Take a look. Worried the days going to come that people are going to talk about you as the guy who accompanied Frederick Bilodeau to the Olympic Games. Definitely, i wish that game would come. Its something for me, i dont need the spotlight. I think have all the resources to work and have it. But he doesnt have it and we need to get it. Thats brotherly love. Philadelphia love. Apolo ohno is going to be here later. And talk about the highlights. But theres another interview yes. Do we really learn about people in these magazines . Or how much is done for effect . I dont know. How dont know how authentic people are. Christen lee did one and talked about her affair with her married director. When she was dating she basically tox about her biggest regret. He said i own basically all my mistakes, so go ahead and judge. Which at 23 i guess is wisdom. But then she says the only regret she truly has in all of this is she never went to college. Shes 23. She can go to college. You can go to college online. You can sign up for fall classes. Go this summer. Right. You know that shouldnt be a regret yet. Seems like she has plenty of time to make up for that yet. I havent graduated yet and i dont regret it at all. Do you know whats going on over there . What . Colin farrell. And eva marie st. Oh, yes. Hoda has one of her things. Well just take a moment to let you have it. Thank you. All right. So theres a mom who created this Facebook Page for her son. Hes a 10yearold turning 11. And she says that her son doesnt have a lot of friends for a birthday party. And she says he has issues with social skills and things like that. He didnt want a party because he said he didnt have any friends that would come. She decided to make a Facebook Page for him. And she invited people to become his friend online. She writes i thought if i could create a page where people could send encouraging thoughts and words that would be better than any party.

Who better to turn to than a guy whose won eight medals in the winter olympics. Apolo ohno. Nice to see you. Apolo, one question, who do you have your uninfected eye on right now . Oh, okay. Theres quite a few here in russia, let me tell you. Ill decline to answer in full sentences, but perhaps ill send you a text message later. No, i mean of the athletes. Which athletes do you think are going to hot . In all honesty, the energy. Theres been a lot of interesting reports back and forth via media, but my experience personally has been nothing but spectacular. This is my first winter games im not competing from an athlete perspective. Im having a blast. Theres tons of stories. Im sure you guys have seen quinn breaking out of the bathroom that was interesting. That was seemingly pretty viral right away. Overall, here in russia, in sochi, its been awesome. What do think of shaun white. A lot of people have their eye on him. I think he may have just wrapped up his qualifying round . I mean, shaun, looks very strong. Obviously, the first heat qualifier, advanced as being number one right now. From my perspective, shaun white is one of those people, a true visionary of the sport. The guy has revolutionized going into the sport. Hes obviously going to be a favorite tonight on nbc looking at his third consecutive medal in the halfpipe. Somebody who ive enjoyed watching perform. He puts on a show. You know who else puts on a show. Shes dancing to beyonce. I like her move. Everybody has their own ways to prepare for racing. This way is a little unorthodox, but i love it.

You never get over your delu dyslexia, you learn to negotiate it. Was it difficult to go into your profession knowing you had that .

Theyre making celebrating the month. Th[ male announcer ] this is jim. A man who doesnt stand still. But jim has afib, atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. That puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. For years, jims medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But now, with onceaday xarelto jims on the move. Jims doctor recommended xarelto. Like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesnt require routine blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. Not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. Get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto if you have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto. Onceaday xarelto means no regular blood monitoring no known dietary restrictions.
