Dylan, good morning and happy valentines day. Thanks lester. I was waiting for chocolates to come to my hotel room. They never came. Look on the pillow. We are back in boston. The narrowness of the sidewalks here just showing you there is no place to put any of the snow. Imagine living here. Imagine if this was your car and you had to start the process of digging out from this hard snow that is surrounding pretty much everything. With another foot of snow on the way, the only thing left is for residents to figure something out. Today, the northeast is bracing for another Winter Weather nightmare. Adding insult to injury many already buried with this now the fourth straight weekend storm. Some 35 Million People are under a Winter Weather advisory this morning and the storm will not only bring snow but dangerously cold windchills with hurricaneforce winds. Gusts of 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour in new york and philadelphia. 50 to 60 in coastal maine. 60 to 75 on nantucket. Driving treacherous, Power Outages are expected. We expect we will move literally millions of tons of snow over the course of last few days and next few days. Reporter the boston area has seen some of the worst of it. This could be the first time the city has been hit by two blizzards in the same winter. Another foot of snow adding to the more than 42 inches in the past two weeks. On track to what could be the snowiest winter ever. This is probably by far the worst i have seen it. Reporter and people around here are really trying to clean up what they can now because this time tomorrow we are going to see whiteout blizzard conditions. It is starting to move in tonight. Lester. Dylan, we will check in with you soon. Frustrations are mounting in boston and the surrounding area. People have barely had time to clear from one storm and now a new one heading their way. Ron mott checks in with folks who have had enough. Ron, good morning. Reporter erica, good morning. People are wondering if the snow will melt. The bitterly cold air has moved in and it is forecast to stay here for a while. The thought of adding more snow is becoming a head scratcher. When push comes to shoveling, bostonians are ready, but growing tired of the fight. The whole city has been shutdown. It is the stages of grief, kind of. Im accepting it now and i know more is on the way. Reporter as much as a foot or more of snow. That is why store aisles are jammed. Shopping for supplies or milk and bread. Some looking for hibernation. Staying inside and trying not to ever go outside unless i have to. Reporter overhead snow coverage is overwhelming just about everywhere you look. Now that temperatures have plunged, moving it around has become much tougher. When the snow and wind meet later today, whiteout conditions are expected. Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker urging people to stay off the roads starting saturday night. In the meantime National Guard troops have joined the snow battle as the big dig continues in earnest. Im starting to worry about the snow on the roof and the weight of it. Reporter weary, they are, humor abounds. No piling on here says one sign. If you are praying for snow please stop reads another. You have to keep your humor about you. One thing which is a silver lining, it is ha t weekend. The demand for Public Transit is not there like on a week day. Service on the t is canceled on sunday. Erica. Ron, thanks. We like the humor at that church. You need it. What else can you do . Lets go to dylan for a look at what boston should be expecting and the cold snap far beyond the northeast. It is so cold. We have 26 states under some sort of winter cold advisory or windchill warning. They stretch into the carolinas. We have temperatures right now in boston about 4 degrees with a windchill of 9 below. It is extremely cold. Coldest in caribou, maine. The storm system doesnt look like much but it will strengthen into the noreaster system with the strong gusty winds. Because of that we have Winter Weather advisories and blizzard warnings from maine all the way down to long island. Not that long island will see a lot of snow but when you have wind gusts up near 60 to 70 Miles Per Hour the blowing snow will reduce visibility. The storm will get going later this afternoon for parts of new england. Overnight, were going to see heaviest snow through sunday morning. Sd start to taper off by early afternoon on sunday. It is a quick hitting storm. When you look at wind gusts near 70 Miles Per HourPower Outages could linger on and we are looking for about a foot or two of snow in maine. We are on the line of 9 to 12 inches of snow in boston. Anymore snow will cause problems. You have the cold on top of. That by monday morning, windchills in the area 30 degrees below zero. By far some of the coldest temperatures so far this season. Two words. Good grief. Dylan, thanks. We will check in with you later on. Followed by no thanks. Turning to a shocker in oregon. The governor announced his resignation involving his fiancee. We have nbcs Hallie Jackson with the latest from salem. Reporter good morning, erica. We are learning about the criminal investigation into the governor that is expanding to include the feds. It is the latest twist in the political saga to cap off a week that has seen plenty of them. New subpoenas looking for emails and phone records showing if the fbi can find that John Kitzhaber broke the law. Allegations with his fiancee as he steps down after weeks he would not. He has done good by this state for 36 to 40 years. Lets not that one moment here today define him. That is totally not fair. Reporter analysts call it a shocking fall from grace for one of the states most reliable politicians elected to four terms. In the past four months questions surfaced about his first Lady Cylvia Hayes tried to ledge their relationship with firms hoping to do business with the state. A tearful apology after hayes broke the law two decades ago by accepting money to marry a man who needed a green card. Kitzhaber said he did not wrong. A person can be charged and tried in the media with no due process. This is a sad day for the state of oregon. Reporter secretary of state kate brown will be sworn in next week. Becoming the countrys first openly bisexual governor. While gay rights advocates say she will make history, but the truth is she is capable of leading the state to better days ahead. As for the criminal investigation into governor kitzhaber, the state has until march 10th to return the documents for the subpoena. The fbi is not commenting on this case. That is typical where the case could end in the hands of a grand jury. Guys. Hallie jackson. Thank you. Police in canada say they foiled a mass murder plot there. Sheinelle is following the latest. Good morning. The Canadian Police expected to release details of the massacre expected to happen today. They uncovered the plot in the mall in nova scotia. A man then killed himself.

Now to minnesota and frightening moment for 11 children on a school bus. Nbcs betty nguyen is here with more. Good morning, sheinelle. Deputies spotted a School Bus Driving erratically and they started following it warning other drivers and calling for help. A frightening bus ride for 11 students in minnesota this week. Much of it caught on tape. You see the school bus weaving back and forth across the road. Veering at times into the wrong lane. Even driving off into a ditch. It happened wednesday about two hours north of minneapolis. Deputies were trailing the bus with these images captured by the dashboard cameras. At one point, the bus nearly hit an approaching vehicle before its driver quickly backed out of the way. Authorities say the driver of the bus lost control due to a medical condition. The ordeal lasted about 15 minutes with the bus coming to a stop in a ditch after deputies put spikes on the road. The kids on the bus are okay. The medical condition of the driver has not been released. Sheinelle. Betty, thank you. A rescue operation under way in antarctica. The u. S.

We are all too familiar with the public executions but what you may not know is the terror group is quietly targeting women in a horrific way. We feel it is an important story to bring you. We recognize it could be hard to watch. Nbcs chief Foreign CorrespondentRichard Engel is in iraq with the story. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, lester. As you mentioned, we all have seen the horrors that have been carried out by isis when it murders foreign hostages or lines up and executes the local Security Forces here in iraq and syria. Isis has also much more quietly been carrying out Extermination Campaign against the religious minority that isis deserved to be wiped out and women enslaved. In the refugee camps in northern iraq, we met survivors of what could be the worst documented atrocities. These were the men of the village celebrating a wedding in better times before isis arrived. When they took the men, we didnt know how many were going to be killed says 19yearold farida. She not want her face to be seen. She said isis went on to execute nearly all of the men. And the women were grabbed by the hundreds and sold off to isis fighters as slaves. This video released by isis shows its fighters discussing the women they are about to take possession of. She instantly recognized the men. She saw them making their way through 80 the of girls. Picking out the ones they wanted to buy. Farida was raped repeatedly for months. They sold me from one man to the next. Farida is 19 years old. She says the ordeal was harder on the younger girls. They raped girls who were 9 or 10 years old or even 8. They preferred the younger ones. Harada is one they sought out. She is just 12. He was old, she says of the man who bought her. He was 50. Harada and farida managed to escape but both girls are badly traumatized. Harada had never seen the video of the men waiting to buy her. I see this she says, i think of all of the girls still with them. They could do everything imaginable to them. We want justice. Both of the girls managed to escape simply walking away when the captors were not paying attention. They had to walk for hours in the desert. Knocking on doors and not sure what reception they would get. They eventually found people to link them up with extended retive retive relatives. They are receiving help lester.

Santa clara county announcing that two people died in Domestic Violence incidents last year. That is the lowest rate that we have seen in our area in 20 years.

Details emerging of the moments that led up to the shooting death of chris kyle. Nbcs jacob rascon has more. Reporter the first weekended with a bombshell. I heard mr. Routh say i shot them because they would not talk to me. I got a military aged male on a cell phone. Reporter the years most popular movie, american sniper depicts chris kyles four tours in iraq and post traumatic stress. Kyles widow taya described the last time she saw her 38yearold husband. Photos from rouths home showed ammunition and an empty whiskey bottle. A few hours later, routh shot kyle and chad littlefield repeatedly with different guns. Stole kyles truck and led police on a tenminute chase. He said he killed two guys. They went to a shooting range. Like he is all crazy. Hes [ bleep ]. Reporter before he surrendered and confessed, he acted strangely. And talking about voodoo and hell and the apocolypse. District attorney alan nash. That he used drugs and alcohol that morning. And he knew what he was doing wrong. Reporter routh has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His Attorney Says he was in a grip of psychosis. The trial picks up again on monday. The next chapter in the american sniper story. For today, jacob rascon nbc news. As we are watching this in the early days of the criminal what stood out to you in terms of what we heard . That was an extraordinary statement. It is up to us to decide. Is this a man deliberately angry and rational or insane. They found marijuana and antipsychotics. Does this guy deserve punishment or should have been on his medication and was insane. There was a lot of talk about the body cam and dash cam video. That when you are looking at it in some ways this could go either way depending on the expert. You are right. We all listen to it as amateurs and say you have a guy who says i dont know if im going insane. He doesnt get to self diagnose for the trial. In the end, it is up to competing experts who put forth their opinions and it is up to the jury. The legal experts put in their opinion. It comes to the Legal Standard for insanity. How does it measure up . It is extraordinarily high. In the end, the decision has to be did he know what he was doing was wrong . That is capable of parsed out a million ways. It seems he knew what was wrong or he did not try to flee. We hear other things that clearly dont sound the words of a rationale man. The experts will help us better understand the defendant. Some of the things we will hear in the weeks coming up. What are you listening for . I want to hear how the defense and prosecution play this out. I suspect the prosecution will focus on the jury on the events of the shooting range and what happened after. You see a guy who goes to get something to eat and tries to flee authorities. The defense will look really carefully at the arc of the mans life. How many times he went to a veterans hospital. What prescription drugs was he on and if he was takings his medication. If he has the illness that makes him deserve an acquittal. There was talk leading into this quickly about the impact of american sniper the film and book docould have on the jury. They were voir dired. Thanks for walking us through this for us. Lisa green. Dylan is in boston with another check of your weather. Hey, dylan. Erica, we are waiting for the next system to move in.

The bitter cold will have many starting fires to stay warm. What if the worst happened and the fire spread . Our National Correspondent jeff rossen has more. Good morning. These numbers are startling from the red cross. It shows most of us dont know what to do if a fire breaks out in our home in the middle of the night while our children are sleeping and we are sleeping. The numbers are 52 of us which have never spoken to our children about fire safety. A whopping 82 of us have never practiced the fire drill with your family. I know what are you saying sitting at home. It is my house. I can feel around. I can get out. I know it well. Dont are so sure. This morning, we are in the suburbs for a startling experiment. It starts small, but within seconds, an inferno. St. Paul minnesota firefighters showing us how fast your home can become a deadly trap. It happened to maureen. Her house caught fire in the middle of the night with her five kids inside. It went like match sticks. It went within minutes. Reporter the family struggled to escape. They did not have a fire plan. And her son jeffery did not make it. You relive the night. You second guess yourself. What if i did this. Reporter in 2013 there were nearly 488,000 structure fires resulting in 2,800 deaths. How was school today . Reporter so we are putting this connecticut family to the test. Working with the team from the Fire Safety Company and taking over their homes and setting up smoke machines and fake flames. You have a fire plan as a family . We do not. If there is a fire could you get out . I think we could. No big deal . No i guess its easy. We send the family upstairs to bed. Waiting for them to settle in. Our simulated fire starts in the kitchen garbage can. It is the middle of the night. Just like a reallife situation. Pitch black. We are using night vision cameras. Smoke is all over the house within minutes. Hit the smoke alarm. Right away mom and dad stand up apparent head for the hallway. The first dangerous mistake. There are super heated gasses up high. A couple of breaths and they would be done. The kids head to the doors and open them up. Mistake number two. There could have been a large body of fire right on the other side of the door. Thats a critical mistake. They should have taken the time to feel the door. The family is completely disoriented. It is nearly impossible for them to find the stairs. Careful walking down. Reporter now they are right by the front door. A way out. Mom is about to make a potentially fatal mistake. She goes back into the house to get the dog and dad follows right behind. Never want to pass an exit. Especially to go deeper into the fire. This is not survivable. Reporter they finally make it out. What was it like . That was hard to see. Yeah the vision was the most surprising element. Reporter our experts tell them what went wrong. You stood up in the fire. You need to get as low as possible. Reporter then he walks them through a fire plan. Another tip is have the dog sleep closer to you. What a difference it makes. Watch what happens when we drill it again. They do everything right. Staying low. Dog with them. Kids feeling the doors. That was much faster. Way to be. Nice job. You had a plan and executed it. Yes. I feel more prepared. Reporter heres the bottom line. Take advantage, experts say, of the fact it is saturday. The kids are home. Get everyone together and figure it out before there is an emergency. So it is drilled into your head. You can do that today. If you have no clue how to create a fire plan dont worry about it. The American Red Cross has a real easy worksheet. We have it on our web site at today. Com. Back to you. Thanks jeff. I think we dont have a plan. Me too. Im thinking about all of those things. My dog. Did you have a plan with your kids . We had discussed it a few times.

Continuing coverage now of the president s bay area visit. The president is scheduled to leave from sfo in just a couple of hours after spending a long day friday with vips and ceos. The president then made a surprise visit to a Popular San Francisco restaurant last night. Earlier in the day the president was at stanford for a summit to discuss ways to increase Cyber Security. He signed an executive order that would make it easier for companies to report breaches and dangerous attacks. President obama spent the early part of the evening fundraising for the Democratic National committee at the home of sandy and gene johnson in russian hill. Next the president made an unscheduled stop at the presidio spending nearly three hours with his staff eating at the restaurant spruce. In the south bay, a sigh of relief after the arrest of a trio of alleged thieves that may bring a recent spree to an end. After 80 burglaries in the last month, police have arrested three people they believe were responsible for many of those breakins. Investigators are being tightlipped but they think there could be more people involved in this crime ring. A lot of stolen property was recovered, thats the good news and is now back on its way to its victims. One of the hottest novels feeling some heat as it hits the big screen this weekend, fifty shades of grey opened in theaters yesterday but some people showed up in oakland last night to protest rather than watch the movie.

Despite those protests the movie is expected to make about 60 million at the u. S. Box office over the valentines day weekend. Fifty shades of grey was made by our parent company, nbc universal.

I see a lot of snow piles. We are riding through boston before the storm hits to show you the streets are actually okay. Right now, it is cold outside. I decided to come inside. We have windchills at 9 below. Take a look at the front of the blue mobile. You can see the streets are actually fairly clear. We dont really have all that much going on right now. Look at the snow piles on the sides of the streets. That is going to be the issue. For now, the roads are fine but over the course of the storm, with another 9 to 12 inches of snow expected we are running out of places to put it. That is the big concern.

Lets head back to boston for another check of the forecast from dylan. Dylan, i had to pick up for you the last time. How did i do . Did you hear my forecast . I heard you say there is a lot of red. Great job. There was a lot of red. The only downside is it doesnt show a warming trend. It does not. No warming trend in sight.

Thank you very much, anthony. Well continuing coverage of the president ial visit this morning. The president is scheduled to leave from sfo in just about an hour from now. After spending a long day with vips and ceo, president obama made a surprise visit to a Popular San Francisco restaurant last night. Before that dinner with his staff, the president was at stanford for a Cyber Security summit aiming to increase Consumer Protection and collaboration between the government and the private sector. The president also signed an executive order to make it easier for companies to report breaches and dangerous hacks. Then in the early part of the evening, president obama attended a fundraiser for the Democratic National committee at the home of tech investors sandy and gene johnson in russian hill. Next came that unscheduled stop in the presidio spending three hours with his staff dining at the restaurant spruce. A sigh of relief after the arrest of a trio of alleged thieves that may bring a recent crime spree to an end. After 80 burglaries in just the last month, Police Arrested three people they believe were responsible for many many of those breakins. Investigators are being tightlipped, but they think that there could be more people involved in this crime ring. A lot of stolen property was recovered and so the victims will get some of their things back. They say they are making strides in santa clara county. The District Attorneys Office announcing that two people died in Domestic Violence cases last year and that is the lowest rate that the county has seen in 20 years. In total, though Police Responded to nearly 4,000 Domestic Violence calls last year. The actual number is likely much higher however, because victims of Domestic Violence often do not step forward. Coming up this morning on today in the bay, several explosions will be heard coming from Candlestick Park this morning, but believe it or not it has nothing to do with the demolition of the old stadium. We have that story and the rest of your days news coming up at 7 00. Right now heres the rest of the today show. I know one thing that i love you were from d. C. happy valentines day its our 53rd anniversary. Today show, will you be our valentine . Were in new york city for valentines day. Virginia is for lovers we love you. Happy valentines happy valentines day there you go. Oh nice there we go. Happy valentines day. Happy valentines day. Happy valentines day. Good to have everyone here with us. Good to have you all here with these beautiful roses coming to us. Nice to be able to share some of that with our friends who came out here on a chilly morning. Can i say today really quickly today is my grandfathers birthday. Hes 91 watching in kansas. Happy birthday. I wish we could send him some cameras. Through the camera. There you go. Still to come in this halfhour, a lot of love for you in this halfhour starting out with the first reviews of fifty shades of grey. The steamy movie is now officially out in theaters. Well let you know what fans thought of it and whether you should think of it as a date night movie for tonight. Its also facing serious criticism from womens groups. If you dont think its right for you, there are so many other love stories to choose from, depending on what youre in the mood for and who you are watching with. So we asked you to weigh in on our Facebook Page and with an overwhelming majority the notebook is number one. Followed by pretty woman and love actually, pride and prejudice and titanic. Ive never seen the notebook. Ive never seen love actually. Ill bring it in for you i love it. I watch it on christmas eve. I heard matt lauer once admitted he was bawling openly on an airplane watching the notebook. Why didnt you just watch it at home instead . Just crying along. And the big moment is almost here. Weve been keeping a close eye on these two, because the young woman has no idea why shes really here. I dont know why i think im whispering. She thinks theyre here to talk about college life but thats not really here. Were planning a surprise proposal inside studio 1a. I feel like i had to whisper. They cant hear us. The tv is off in the green room. If shes a lip reader were dead. A little bit later on were going to continue our valentines Day Celebration with treats. Top chefs gale simmons is here with us. Before we get to all of that lets get a final check of the weather from dylan in boston. Hey, dylan. Hey, guys. Just to go back to what you were talking about i balled my eyes out in the notebook. I just cried, tears rolling down my face. But, you know weatherwise weve got this big storm system. Its the juxtaposition of the snow looks very pretty and if you see out the top of our camera you can see the snow and the ice. It takes on that pretty look. But we also have the fact that this is pretty dangerous. We are looking at just dangerously cold windchills, and also the fact that we are going to see another nine to 12 inches of snow. So the weight on the roofs is a concern, and also just where do you put the snow. So we are going to focus on that. It starts to move in later this evening. It will exit by noon or 1 00 on sunday. Then were watching another system develop down near the ohio river valley and that could bring some ice to areas and even some snow like tennessee, where we could end up with about three to four inches of snow. Thats the nex good saturday morning to you. Im meteorologist anthony slaughter. We have a big ridge of High Pressure sitting off the coast. Whats that going to do today . Its going to keep lots of cloud cover. This thing extends all the way up into oregon and eventually comes right here across the bay area with our winds offshore. Thats going to mean clear skies through the day but its also going to be a dry and warming wind as we head through the afternoon. Temperatures right now in the 40s and 50s, but later on youll notice the warmth. Were talking about 79 in the south bay, 80 for the trivalley and 73 today in San Francisco. And again, we are in the blue mobile, and the streets of boston right now are aokay but we are going see a totally different sight by this time tomorrow morning with whiteout conditions blizzard conditions expected. So it is going to turn ugly real quick here. But we do still have several more hours before the storm hits. So enough people to do their lastminute preparations for this next storm. Its kind of what were getting used to around here. Erica . Becoming quite the expert. Thousands of people celebrated their valentines day a little early by seeing the hot new movie fifty shades of grey. Ticket sales, unprecedented this weekend.

Thanks for joining us, im kris sanchez along with meteorologist anthony slaughter. The good news is that its going to be beautiful out for this weekend. Oh, yeah.

The weather headlines very simple, clear skies, no fog to report even in san jose at the coastline. But we have a beach warning if youre thinking about the beach. Its going to be very warm 70s and 80s there, but big waves are expected today and through the rest of the weekend. In fact with large breakers. So do keep that in mind if youre headed to the beach.

As you look at our sky camera net, would, everywhere is clear with just a little cloud cover off the coastline. Look at these numbers later on today. 80 for the north bay, 73 for San Francisco, 80 for the trivalley 76 for the peninsula and 79 for the south bay.
