Daughters and grandmother are here. White House Press Secretary josh earnest is traveling with the president and made these comments while speaking to reporters just a short time ago. Take a listen. There is a device that has been recovered by the secret service at the white house. The early indications are that it does not pose any sort of ongoing threat right now to anybody at the white house. But as the secret service has more information about their investigation about what theyve been able to learn about this theyll share nor information. Reporter now the interim dructer of the secret Service Joseph Clancy is also in india with the president. He was appointed after a series of security lapses here at the white house including when that man jumped over the fence and made it deep inside the executive mansion last september. He has not commented, but this latest incident clearly raises new questions, and new concerns. Secret Service Officials ive been speaking with today say they are investigateingened a planning to have more information later today. Thank you so very much kristen welker. Now what could be a blizzard of historic proportions from maryland to maine a blizzard warning in effect for a 250mile stretch of the northeast. At least 29 Million People are in the blizzard zone. Some parts of the northeast could see up to three feet of snow. Including thundersnow, and already airlines cancelled more than 4,000 flights through tomorrow. We have a team of reporters following this nature story. Tom costello at Reagan National airport. Meteorologist dylan dreyer in pittsburgh, chris malone in boston and meteorologist bill karins tracking the latest forecast. Bill, start with you. Were hanging on every word. What are we expecting and what . Well for the most part what were looking at is a lot of heavy snow coming up the coast and rain too, throughout the midatlantic region now. The storm is now beginning to develop and head off the coastline as far as the snow goes. Dont be fooled by this morning. Light stuff. Cause an inconvenience. People think its the blizzard starting. Its not yet. Thats later tonight. As far at snow totaling the worst in the pink shaded areas. 29 million americans under the blizzard warnings now. This is monday p. M. To wednesday a. M. Feet of snow gusts to 70 miles an hour. The worst, power going out, when people are trying to sleep tonight and early tomorrow morning, then the roads, everybody has to be off the roads or risk getting trapped on them. Updated Snowfall Forecast map. The worst, pink shading who has a chance of two feetplus. Portland through worcester, boston providence, almost over to hartford and new haven and eastern portions of long island. As far as the specks go on this jose looking at 20 to 24 portland. Boston 24. New york 18 philadelphia 8. A lot less for baltimore and d. C. , but everywhere from philly northwards up the coast, jose thats where were looking at the high impacts from the storm. Bill thank you. It now to Reagan National airport in arlington, virginia where nbcs tom costello is and, tom, were talking thousands of flights already affected . Reporter yeah. Thats right, jose. Good morning to you. We only got rain here in washington this morning, but because of what is coming weve seen airlines already pro actively cancelled 2,000 flights today and already 2,000 cancellations for tomorrow. The most affected airports today, really no surprise. It will be philly. Already new york city. Laguardia newark and jfk, then move north and youve got, of course, boston, hartford connecticut, and into maine. Spread west to columbus ohio. Detroit, chicago all of these cities affected. Already for tomorrow 88 0 of flights cancelled. The reason United Airlines a hub at newark, proactively cancelling flights. Newark for tomorrow already essentially a ghost town. Expect the other airlines will follow suit. If we have that much snow on the ground youll see the airlines trying to move flights, their planes out of the new york city area to sit the storm out in a drier location at least not as much snow then can fly back in once the snow is cleared from the runways and service these airports again. But if youre planning to fly in the next 24 48 even 72 hours, a very good chance you could be affected. Even if not going into or out of the northeast. Because of the Ripple Effect across the country. Amtrak also affected. 720,000 people every day are on the northeast corridor, amtrak is watching the storm closely. Got 475 miles of track and about 1,200 bridges. With a lot of snow that koim pact operations as well. Jose, back to you. Tom watching live shots out of boston Logan Airport, and what were you saying is key and important to underline that this is not just going to affect the northeast of the United States of america, but people flying throughout the country, and even internationally are going to be affected by this . Reporter yes. Boston and philly, by the way, already cancelled 20 of their flights today and its only what is it . 9 00 a. M. The storm hasnt really hit yet. The big impact this evening and tomorrow really really tough going. We havent even talked about the highways and the roads. New york city, remarkssticity rather, new york state talking about chosen down thoroughfares. Planes may not move much but someone chasing the blizzard nbc meteorologist dill pylan dreyer, starting her day northwest of pittsburgh in the big snow. Billin dylan, good morning. Reporter trying to get to boston from a flight from pittsburgh to boston. See if it remain on time. We are at the start of the storm. It began as an Alberta Clipper in the northwest over its weekend. Now light to at times moderate snow. Take a measurement. I got the yardstick. Ill need it in boston. About three inches of snow on the ground. Over the course of the morning perked up an additional inch. Heres a foot. Heres two feet and heres 30 inches of snow. More like the snowfall totals we are going to see in hartford and providence and up into boston too, and then when you factor in those Hurricane Force wind gusts up near 70 to 80 Miles Per Hour its going to create these snow drifting about five to six feet high. Well over my head but this storm right now is just gathering itself. Still just a clipper producing a widespread two to four inches. By the time the storm strengthens overnight tonight over the atlantic well see snowfall rates come down at about two to four inches per hour, and this storm is going to stick around for hours. Looking for to intensify around 10 00 in the new york city area last throughout the day tuesday and boston not really wind down until early wednesday morning pap Long Duration event, a lot of snow and we are certainly going to see Power Outages. Everyone has to do what you can now to prepare yourself for these types of conditions because if your power goes out you need batteries you want to have perhaps a land line phone in case your cell phone battery goes dead and keep supplies handy, blankets and water and nonperishable food. Using words like catastrophic and lifethreatening to describe this storm. You need to take it seriously and prepare now while you still can. Jose . Dylan, thank you, from pittsburgh. Go to boston and the whole state, frankly, is preparing to be buried in snow there. Nbcs Chris Pallone is in boston. Chris, good morning. Reporter yeah, good morning, lz. Like dylan said theyre using words like catastrophic and unprecedented, even historic here in the boston area to describe this potential storm. You know, the record for snowfall in the city of boston 27 1 2 inches and they say that record is certainly wynn reachithin reach what is forecast now. Between 20 to 30 inches of snow in the city of boston. Maybe more going south of here down towards providence and same snow totals up into Southern New Hampshire and into down east maine. Now, weve got about eight to ten hours left before this thing gets really cranked up here in the boston area. Massachusetts, govern Charlie Baker, is urging people to use these last hours to get prepared. His biggest fear not just the snow. This whole area will be under blizzard warning. Theyre worried about winds of up to 60 70 miles an hour. Almost Hurricane Force winds and coastal flooding, these areas of massachusetts that generally flood, marshfield, plum island many boarding up homes much like they would for a hurricane, because this really could bring some coastal flooding widespread Power Outages over the next several days. Theyre saying be prepared to be in your home in the next several days here in the boston area. Jose . Ill check in throughout the rundown this morning.

Reporter its been a busy day. This is the biggest holiday of the year and theres a huge parade. The president , the first sitting u. S. President , ever to serve as the chief guest, a place of honor. A lot made of it here in india. A couple of observations. First of all besides the fact its a great parade in spite of a downpour at times. Great floats. They had marching contingents from what are essentially the military operations in each state here. There were flyovers. You got to witness really some of the Close Relationships tweev aukd about between prime ministermonthold modi and president obama. This is where the population growth in the world is happening most also where the Economic Growth is happening, and india is about to overtake china in both of those areas. A deepening of that relationship. The ability to announce some new deals on buildy Nuclear Plants moving forward on Climate Change and we just saw a meeting of u. S. And Indian Business folks looking to move forward and make more investments here including the ceos of Major Companies from pepsi and walt disney to westinghouse and marriott.

Chris jansing in india, thank you so very much for being with me. As we continue to cover the storm storm, there is another one well underway. The gop race for the white house, and if youre in that race chances are you had a pretty busy weekend. The billionaire Koch Brothers playing toast to potential 2016 names over the weekend and this weekend, learned another name. Chris christie launching a Political Action committee critical to the 2016 run and also critical iowa where steve king played host to a whos who of 2016 names, including christie. One name not there jeb bush who declined an invitation to kings conference but said this on the subject of immigration on friday. We need to find a way, a path, to legalized status for those that have come here and have languished in the shadows. Theres no way theyre going to be deported. Msnbc Political Correspondent casey hunt just back from iowa. So good morning to you. Good morning, jose. What do you say is the biggest headline out of des moines this weekend . I think that the people that stood out at this conference in iowa were really the new faces. Ted cruz absolutely brought the house down. Wisconsin Governor Scott walker was a real standout. Hes been working to sort of hone especially his approach onstage. Not known as somebody wowing audience. I saw him give a speech at the winter meeting in san diego, delivered some of the same lines in iowa. Fell flat with the establishment donor type of crowd but played really well with this conservative activist crowd in iowa. A breakout moment for him. On the flip side you have as you noted, jeb bush and also mitt romney declining to attend here and the tone of this conference was really a lot different than what you heard from jeb bush in san francisco. And, frankly, the activists in iowa, they didnt seem to miss romney and bush. One of the speakers from the stage said we cant have another bush and there was lots of loud applause and cheering for that. And, casey, then also of course donald trump, who i understand made news with you . Reporter yes jose. A little bit of shall we say, around the edges, a number of other conservative figures at this conference. Sarah palin was one. Gave a long and rambling speech took a lot of criticism for in the conservative media. Donald trump on the other hand did bring the crowd to its feet but there are questions about just how serious a president ial run for him would be. So i asked him a question that was sort of aimed at getting to know how serious he would be about playing in iowa. Take a listen. Well my favorite county in iowa and im not going to get into that because this is not a history class, but one of my Favorite Places is iowa itself. Reporter there are 99 counties in iowa you cant name one . Im not doing the history thing. Not a question of naming. I can name more than one. Reporter such as not look whos who, who is the president of a different country. We dont do that. Reporter we dont do that. If you are serious about running a president s campaign its likely you would not only know some of the counties in iowa but which you need to win to come out on top in the caucuses. He does probably know the ratings that he gets in all the different counties in iowa. Reporter im sure. Good to see you, casey.

Now down to about the final ten hours of preparations for people you think 29 Million People have the potential to be without power at least two or three days. Stuck in their houses snowed in because its going to snow all day tuesday. No one will be outside. They may be able to keep up with the roads. Wednesday, cleanup day. Try to dig yourself out and theyll tell people stay off the highways on wednesday. Some wont be able to leave their hours until thursday. What youre preparing for pt the possibility of being stuck in your house with you and your family two days maybe with no power. Could be freezing cold. Thats the danger were trying to prepare for people for and only ten hours left. Take you through the timing of the storm. Important for getting things done today. Up until sks6 00 p. M. Light snow. We deal with this all the time. Not a big deal. As we go through 9 00 or 10 00. The storm bombs off the coast. Called bombogenesis. 24 mail bar, consider that bombogenesis. This is thunderstorms of a ut coast, heavy moisture into the cold air and this lighter shade here, heavy snow. Theres going to be a heavy snow band out there from starting about midnight tonight until about noon on tuesday. There will be lightning. Youll hear claps of thunder. Call that thund per snow and underneath that a snowstorm like a thunderstorm. Like three to four inches of snow an hour. However that sets up over the top of, thats whos going to get the worst of it. When we deal with the cleanup of the storm, not enjoyable, because a storm goes by takes cold air from canada throws it down at us. Wednesday, full flown, Single Digits from hartford to boston a little warmer in new york city. By the time we get to wednesday morning, most will be out cleaning up from this we are down to about 9 00 by 6 00 p. M. Wednesday morning, Single Digits all the way to d. C. , philly hartford.

Dont have the to deal with sleet or freezing rain. Maybe out here on the islands of cape cod, thats it. Everybody else, allsnow event. The back edge cuts off around the philadelphia area and right around baltimore. Why we have that lower snow totals. If the storm is going to bust not going to do as expected it would be the Hudson Valley to philadelphia, maybe even new york citys on the line too. I still think new york city getting at least a foot no matter what. Windchill, already cold in new england. The storm is coming off the coast. Get to my forecast map, jose to let you know exactly what my latest thinking was. Blizzard warnening out there. The best bet of that three feet of snow in this blue section in here. Where the thundersnow is most common. Eastern half of long island connecticut, northern rhode island worcester through the 495 loop around boston and in boston steft. Back into southern portions of nump nump port smith and back up into portland, maine. All of these locations have a chance of at least two feet maybe three feet of snow and thats why this will be an historic storm. Talking lifethreatening storm. Emergency workers will not be able to get to these people. Thinking, 29 Million People. Probably a couple hundred of them pregnant near full term. You got people making tough decisions now. Imagine youre expecting. What do you do . Go to the hospital now or risk being at home and going into labor . So many problems are going to be because of this. And bill, youre saying monday morning. Youre saying really this is going to be a problem, the first, the snow and bitter cold until at least thursday . I bet power crews wont get all the power on until the end of the weekend, that bad. Power crew dont have snow plows. They have to wait for the roads to be cleared. Tuesday, the storm, lose power. Snowed in. Wednesday plows try to go to work. Hopefully done by the end of wednesday and then the power crews on thursday get out to start their work. Talking a couple 00,000 people some not until friday or saturday until power is back o. Bill karins thank you. One of the places expected hardest hit, massachusetts. The new governor telling residents to expect Power Outages, shutdown of mass transit and a major disruption to daily life. In boston could be a recordbreaker. Thats where nbcs miguel is with us.

Some 35,000 pounds of salt also at the ready. Right now streets for the most part of clear. Sidewalks are passable but all of that it expected to change by late tonight. Were expecting up to two feet of snow here in boston. Some 29 Million People will feel the effects of this storm in this larger region out here. The city says any Emergency Personnel that can be on staff will be out on the streets. Also asking everyone to stay out of the area if they can. Theyre expecting that snow to start falling close to 6 00 7 00 later tonight. Of course the heavy stuff overnight into tuesday, anyone who can stay inside is warned to do so jose.

Reporter seattle cornerback richard sherman, no stranger to sound bites. When you star me with a thats what you going to get. Reporter saying the relationship between the patriots owner and leagues commissioner could prevent the team from being punished over deflategate. Will they be punished . Probably not. Not as long as kraefrt and Roger Goodell are still taking pictures at their respective homes. He was just as krafts house last week. Talk about conflict of interest. Reporter shermans comments came hours after the seahawks touched down in phoenix ahead of sundays game. While some teammates refused to fan the flames. I focus on playing the game. All the distractions of the footballs have nothing to do with us. Reporter shermans words reemerged the words of bill bell chick. And following days of exponentially more research into the matter. I believe now 100 that i have personally and we as an organization have absolutely followed every rule to the letter. Reporter the league announced over the weekend its conducted nearly 40 interviews so far during its investigation and scientists took the matter in their own hands. Some dismissed the allegation Carnegie Mellon separately conducted tests that determined cold temperatures and moisture could lowery footballs air pressure in certain cases. All of it was fair game for snl that had a field day with the patriots quarterback tom brady. Guys, i dont know things im not a banker. Im not a science computer. Did you just say science computer . Isnt that what you call it . I dont know. Reporter the real tom brady will have to face new questions tomorrow.

Its difficult. You want to let kids play of course. The thing is kids are at rick mostly for falls and head injuries. What cans has, sometimes when they fall on the snow they hit themselves with the shovel. Be careful if theyre playing with toys other shovels, they have safety. Proper footwear to not slip as much and think about flat surfaces, of course. Youre more at risk to slip otherwise. Teens, hire a teenager or somebody else to shovel your snow to predict you from your risk of heart attack but the teens have to be careful and make sure they have proper padding, the proper gear to be able to do this type of manual labor. And talk to me about frostbite. Could be a huge risk in the next couple of days especially after the snow. Bill told us wednesday and thursday are going to be bitter cold. What are some of the signs of frostbite . The first thing youll see is actually, feel it maybe in your ears fingers, nose. You feel cold and start to lose sensation. Those areas can become numb. What you start to worry about, is there any color change. If the skin is pale or white, sometimes can turn blue. Theres something to think about here. The reason you get frostbite is because your bodys actually struggling cant keep itself warm everywhere. Its basically shunting a lot of that blood and that warmth to your heart and to your lungs and to your brain. So whats happening is these areas further out from your heart are actually getting older and the water in our bodies is actually freezing. So those tissues can die. Whats the difference between frostbite and hype other they were kbra . Hypothermia is the other problem. Say you kept those areas warm. The problem, then your core areas get cold. So as that happens, your body temperature lowers. Sort of the opposite of a fever where your body temperature is going down and then your brain cant function as well. At first your body does things to try to keep itself warm. Shiver, youll see that. At a certain point that stops and youll see a lot of changes inner its of thinking. People might have slurred speech not able to talk easily think clearly. If youre confused tired and confused you may not realize if youre having problems with your thinking and may not be the first person to be aware of it so others have to keep an eye on you. That can be a fatal condition as well where your thinking slows down and eventually loss of consciousness or death. If you have a loved one out there in the snow shoveling or just generally in cold conditions, make sure that you keep an eye on how theyre doing. Doctor this can happen relatively quickly. Right . It can. It can happen quickly because your body fights it up to a point. At once meets that resistance and its difficult to maintain your body temperature is suddenly drops. Be careful about that. And on frostbite, for example, permanent damage . It can be. If those tissues die it can be permanent. If you catch it early enough you can rewarm those tissues and bring them back to life to protect them, but you want to catch it before that point. If you see any color changes, thats the time you have to intervene. Dr. Devy always a pleasure to see you. Thanks for being with me. A live look at rockefeller skater.

Also new video of salt spreaders and snowplows ready to hit the streets of new york. Some 500 salt trucks already on the streets ahead of the storm. Weather channel sam champion is in new york. How is it looking . Reporter starting with roads in good shape as we start to collect snow. All weekend there was light snow in the area, that was cleared, piled up from sidewalks, also on road surfaces but at least they have a pretty good starting path to get roads cleared through the rest of the day. If you take the winter in an area like new york city thats all right, go ahead. If you take winter in an area like new york city still talking five inches below normal in snowfall. This storm system will make that up. Remember, the zone in the forecast for about 18 to 24 inches of snow. Through the city area as we go through the day and night, blizzard warnings will continue from 1 00 in the afternoon until midnight tuesday. A lot of that time will be spent in howling winds and snow. Even when the snow schultz down the idea of leaving blizzard warnings up even when we think it is not going to be snowing, the wind will still be strong and all of that snow that fell if the storm verifies with 18 to 24 inches will be blowing. There will be a large period of time, call it most of the day tuesday, when the idea is dont get out, just stay in let the storm pass. Sam champion thank you so much.

We are back with the second hour of the rundown as we track a major blizzard taking aim at the northeast. We just got an update from the National Weather service. In seconds were going to hear from the Connecticut Governor dan malloy who ordered evacuation of the Emergency Operations center. This video just into us a short time ago. New york city getting ready to do battle with 12 inches of snow expected there. Lets get the very latest on the track of the storm. Msnbc meteorologist dominica davis has the latest. Good morning. Good morning, yes. We are getting updated snow totals. It is pretty much staying on tragedy. Here is the radar now. The main part of the storm is still out through pittsburgh cleveland, columbus. Thats where the part of the low is now. The main part of this system really the blizzard that we are talking about, comes tonight. Thats really when this gets going. But the snow is around, starting to fall from philadelphia to new york to hartford. Leading edge getting into boston. This will bring a few inches by the evening commute. It is tonight where the real heavy stuff and blizzard conditions will start to come into effect. Thats what we are looking at right now as far as snow totals. What we are still seeing is on the high side. Again, this is a blockbuster storm. We are calling it 22 to 26 in boston, 16 to 20 in new york lowering that a little bit. Still significant snow. And we could see the potential of up to a foot of snow in philadelphia. So the main part of the system heaviest snow is still trending to new england. So the heaviest part will be from new york to boston. Here is a look at future cast. As we track the storm, here is what you need to know. Whats going on out there right now, it is a nuisance more of a nuisance. Still dangerous, but really the dangerous part of the storm, where were going to be talking blizzard conditions and really terrible travel is going to come by this evening. Here we are, 6 00 monday. The storm is starting to come up. We are looking at pretty much moderate snow over the area. Nothing too major. By the time we get to evening hours pushing, closer to midnight, thats when the storm really bombs out. Thats when we are going to look at problems. The main part of the storm is going to be overnight and in through the first part of tomorrow by the time it winds down. Power outages are going to be a major concern, and travel will be at a stand still for much of the east coast. These are certainly things we can count on in the next 24 hours. The storm will move away by tuesday afternoon and on the back side we could have an additional couple inches of snow. The main part of it is tonight and tomorrow morning. Here is a look. The cold is locked in place. We will have wind chills that will be in the 20s from boston all the way down to new york and philadelphia and then tomorrow morning 7 00 the storm, in the brunt of it. Wind chills will be in the Single Digits and teens. So we are talking very dangerous cold. It is going to be very slippery out here. Here is a look at the euro Snowfall Forecast. All models are starting to come in agreement. That means the confidence level of prediction for the snow is definitely there as we are getting closer to it. So this snowstorm comes up tonight and it is going to make for quite a bit of snow as we have been talking about. Of course we will keep you updated on the newest models when they come in we will see if snow forecasts get higher or lower over the next coming hours. Jose . And this is going to be a real problem just on the temperature side until probably end of the week then the cleanup will be well a long time coming. Yeah, jose. This is going to come down as that sort of fluffy snow. It is going to have a weight to it. As we get in the next couple days, it starts to freeze. So if youre shoveling a day out or two days out, you have a nice ice pack on it. For shoveling purposes yeah it will be pretty much a nightmare the next couple days. Even as we go into the weekend on the east coast, temperatures are going to drop into the teens for daytime highs. Dominica davis, thank you so much for being with me. Appreciate it. Lets head outdoors in new york, mayor bill de blasio is expected to update new yorkers next hour on storm prep. We know the city sent out 500 salt spreaders in advance of the snow, even more will be sent through the day. Here are pictures we got in recently, 6,000 miles of road in new york city alone. Jane tim on the west side where salt spreaders and snowplows are already deployed. Jane are they ready . Reporter they certainly look ready. We have seen them all morning filling in the garage behind me stacked floor to ceiling with salt. Saw dozens of trucks fill up and hit the streaks this morning. We know there are 2400 Sanitation Department workers out, 7 00 to 7 00 and 7 00 p. M. Tonight, another 2400 workers take the streets and try and keep the snow off it. As you can see, it is already snowing. Were already seeing it stick. Visibility is pretty low. A few minutes ago could barely see hoboken. Starting to clear as the wind blows, but i think theyre aiming for overpreparedness versus underpreparedness, could be the worst storm in a very long time. Nbcs jane timm on manhattans west side. Thank you so much. Take you now to boston, we have been telling you massachusetts will bear a lot of the brunt of the storm. Look at the huge amount of salt the city has on hand. Thats salt there. This could become bostons biggest storm ever might be like the blizzard when two and a half feet fell. Chris pallone is with me. It is snowing . It is cold 12 13 degrees now. We are getting a couple of flurries. There might be ocean effect snow that moves in before the storm hits about 7 00 or 8 00 tonight. But the travel problems are already starting to stack up even though we are seeing a little burst of sunlight now. Logan airport announced in the last few minutes it is stopping all flights tonight at 7 30 so no more flights in and out of logan tonight sometime between 7 30, 8 00 tonight. They dont anticipate resuming flights until wednesday morning at the earliest. If youre looking to travel it is going to cause a domino effect across the east coast. Other cities from philadelphia to maine. If youre trying to get somewhere in the country, that could be a problem. Using words like historic, unprecedented for this storm. Snow is one thing. Predicting 20 to 30 inches in boston down into providence into down east maine. Governor Charlie Baker says what could be a big problem is coastal flooding. There are many areas on the massachusetts coastline, up in plum island, down to the south shore on the cape in the islands where this could pose a problem. Along with flooding and heavy snow, there will be winds up to 70 Miles Per Hour near Hurricane Force winds. People started taking precautions. Many people are boarding up homes along the coastline here. Normal day people are doing work in boston today, theres a matter of the patriots send off rally to the super bowl going on in an hour. After that it is all storm, jose. Chris pallone in boston thank you so much. Theres a briefing under way with governor malloy in connecticut. He is taking questions. Lets listen in. When we lift it we will announce a lifting as we are taking this step of preannouncing closure in anticipation that blizzard conditions could arise as early as that time. [ [ inaudible ] question ] seems theyre preparing for some outage. Sure. Both utilities are treating this as a level one occurrence so for cl and p, up to 100 or 110,000 households could be out of power, with respect to ui, that would probably represent around 10 , or 10,000 maybe slightly higher but those things can change dramatically. We dont know what the weight of the snow is, whether we will experience 35 45 or 60. We are preparing for 60 on the coast, people should make those assumptions. It is important to note if youre without power, youre going to be without power for a period of time. In all likelihood several days. So ill give you my advice. You have a fireplace thats usable, have some wood ready. If you dont bring in to your home a heater a system that has exhaust, dont bring that into the house, dont run it in your garage for that matter. We dont want people to die as a result of those emissions. We are putting cold weather protocols in effect the announcement will be made shortly that theyre in effect presume thats coming relatively soon. Thats being coordinated with our local partners. We know that a number of communities are already going out, we urged them to go out and find folks who they know are frequently homeless and get them into shelter and we are prepared to work with those communities. We asked 211 to staff up and they are doing that as this kind of incident requires. Using bus service to get home early, leave work early . We dont want buses stranded. Thats why we made a call said that the last trip or last bus leaving will be at 8 00 p. M. So people should plan accordingly and travel accordingly. Governor malloy from connecticut talking about the preparations and plans that are under way to deal with what could be a massive storm hitting that state, and much of the northeast. Announcing a travel ban in connecticut starting at 9 00 p. M. Eastern time tonight for that state. We are going to take a short break and continue with all of the developing news. This is a massive, potentially massive storm thats going to hit much of the northeast of the United States of america. Tens of millions of people effected. A live shot from times square in new york city where the snow is just starting. But we are going to continue covering from all angles on the rundown. Hey guess what day it is . . Hump day hummmp daaay its hump day yeah hey Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike mike mike. Hey he knows hey guess what day it is hey camel guess what day it is its not even wednesday.

I gotta break more toys. vo introducing the allnew subaru legacy. Its not just a sedan. Its a subaru. Here is a live shot from philadelphia, one city starting to feel the impact from the massive winter storm. Joining me the mayor from stamford connecticut. Good morning. We heard the governor issuing a travel ban for the state beginning at 9 00 p. M. What can you tell us about what preparations you are doing . We just completed an Emergency Operations meeting of all Key Department operations police, fire health schools, including the Power Company and we have already decided to declare a snow emergency in stamford. The crews are ready on trucks, ready to start plowing, we closed schools tomorrow no garbage collection tomorrow and we have opened the city garages and are encouraging people to park in city garages, get their cars off the street. Paint the picture for us. As of right now, it is not critical as far as the weather situation, but we expect that to change in short order . Absolutely. We are perfectly fine but we are preparing for the worst. And i think we are prepared. What we really need is when the storm starts to hit tonight as you already know the governor declared a travel ban. We expect both i95 and merit parkway to be closed expect metro north to be closed down. People need to get prepared to ride out the storm. Mayor, what concerns you more than anything now . What concerns me most is people trying to get out and do something tomorrow when they shouldnt be. It is better to stay home and stay safe even if theres a power outage. We dont need more cars slipping around on roads when we are trying to plow and make things safe for emergency vehicles and everything else. I hope that everybody is ready. We have every fire station available for warming centers, if people lose power. But thats the thing most concerns me, people trying to do their own thing on the streets in the middle of a blizzard. As of 9 00 tonight, theres no mobility in the streets of your city or the state. Thats correct. Mayor david martin of stamford, thank you for being with me. Good to see you. Thank you. Bye. Back to the developing story out of the white house we told you about in the last hours, getting more details about the device that flew onto the white house grounds. Kristin welker joins me with the latest. Reporter here is what we know according to a Law Enforcement official, a drone landed in a tree by the white house. Secret service tells me it started at 3 08 a. M. An officer heard and saw the device, approximately two feet in diameter. It was apparently flying at low altitude before it crashed. Secret Service Officials searched the grounds of the south lawn overnight with flashlights. The president and first lady are on a diplomat i can trip but their daughters and grandmother are here. Josh earnest is traveling with the president and made comments speaking to reporters a short time ago. Take a listen. Earnest essentially said the drone did not appear to pose a threat based on an early investigation, but obviously the Administration Monitoring those developments very closely. The interim director of secret service, Joseph Clancy is also in india with the president. He was appointed after a series of security lapses at the white house, including when you recall a man jumped over the north fence and made it deep inside the executive mansion. Clancy hasnt commented, but this raises new questions and concerns. Secret Service Officials say theyll have more on the incident later today. Good to hear that someone heard it and saw it as soon as it entered. Good sign. Thank you so much. And in the aftermath of another storm we are following, the political one in iowa this weekend. Iowa republican congressman steve king played host to 15 of the gop hopefuls and top republicans. He also had some uninvited guests dreamers holding up steve kings own word deportable. And governor rick perry spoke saturday. Two dreamers arrested by Police Outside the summit. Joining me one of the dreamers that interrupted governor perry, codirector of dream action. Erica, good to see you. Hi jose good morning. This is not the first time youve gotten attention in iowa and beyond. Whats the goal of these confrontations . Well just particularly the goal of this past weekend was really to get a message not necessarily to steve king or to his crowd. I think for us it is pretty much a lost cause trying to get him to understand you know the stories of the undocumented community and that issue, but it was mostly for president ial candidates that were there who are trying to be president ial candidates for 2016. Perry and Chris Christie whether they stand with steve king or whether they stand with immigrant and Latino Community. And it seemed like Chris Christie called him one of his good friends and i think to us it really has to show where they stand and where the Latino Community should be looking at or who they should be looking at in 2016 for the best person for the presidency. Steve king took another swipe at dreamers saying theyre from another planet. Theres the deportable comment. Why do you think going to someone like thats meetings when you know clearly where he stands, theres going to be no change with him, why even deal with this. I think it is mostly like i said trying to make sure that those who are running for this very important seat in 2016 the president ial seat for us we are very very concerned about the fact that whoever wins in 2016 has the power to overturn whatever happens, what already happened with daca. It is important to know who is going to be that person from the gop and from the democrats so that they dont do that so they continue the program, so that they have Better Options for the Latino Community and immigrant community. And Chris Christie and perry should know better. Why go to steve king thats not a good way to start. They should have learned from mitt romney when he you know continued to say that he believed that we should self deport, he lost the majority of Latino Community when he continued to make those comments. So hopefully they learned from that and stay away from steve king as much as possible. That was the message we have there, not necessarily for steve king but for them. And in buzz feed dreamers are back and coming for the gop and clinton. What does it mean for both sides . Yeah. Youll see that in the past for us we dont shy away from also holding the democrats accountable. For us Hillary Clinton made comments about children coming from south america, about really what the president could have done in the past and it is important to know who is running for the seats, jeb bush or clinton. I think were going to be looking at both seeing who has the best to offer to our community. It doesnt matter the party but i mean we have hope it will be somebody thats not going to be going into the presidency breaking another record of deportations because we dont need that any more. Always a pleasure to see you. Thanks for being with me this morning. Thank you, jose. Up next more on the blizzard in the northeast. The city of brotherly love gets ready for the massive winter storm and possible thunder snow. In less than an hour big sendoff rally for the patriots as they get ready to leave for the super bowl.

Except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. And when i finally told my doctor he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe Crohns Disease. And that in clinical studies the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. As this 2015 blizzard moves east, one of the cities being hit right now is philadelphia. Already this morning flights there either delayed or cancelled all together. More than a foot of snow is expected to fall in the metro area. The Weather Channel Reynolds Wolf is in philly. It is already snowing, right . Reporter absolutely. Timing is i canmpeccable. We heard a plane taking off from the airport. Thats good news. Some flights are moving at the airport. Bad news is we have more snow coming down and we expect things to deteriorate once again at the airport. We will have more cancellations with a storm of this magnitude. We are in opening chapters of a story that will last the next several days. Roads have been treated, but with roughly 400 cars they have out, when i say cars referring to salt trucks and plows, so roads are fine. Earlier this morning one of the plows hit a pedestrian outside of town. Time around 6 20. And another incident between a car and snowplow. 2 00 towards harrisburg on interstate 81 a truck jackknifed. So we are going to have some issues on roadways. Thats a given. In terms of snow and issues from that, what we could see is from 6 to 8 inches of snowfall in the next several days. Some locations getting up to a foot of snowfall. Vantage point. Right now, in independence hall. You can see the skies are cloudy for the time being. Expect more clouds more wind more snow. Remember guys it is not just effecting places like philadelphia. As you make your way up the jersey shoreline into long island new york city into boston, some locations could get in excess of two feet of snowfall. Philadelphia, although people need to take it seriously, probably will have an easier time than youll have in new york city and into boston. Thats a wrap guys. Back to you in the studio. Thanks so much. Reynolds wolf live in philadelphia. And more than 4,000 flights are already cancelled in anticipation of the noreaster. The latest on how travel is being impacted in a live report.

The Connecticut Department of transportation will have its entire fleet of more than 600 crews active. We have been in coordination with local and municipal public works departments to assist with clearing secondary roads. That was the Connecticut Governor dan malloy moments ago talking about the emergency preparations ahead of the big blizzard. A statewide travel ban will go into effect at 9 00 tonight in connecticut. We are keeping an eye on several other news conferences. New jersey governor Chris Christie speaking at noon and Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker speaking at that time. 12 45, mayor bill de blasio in new york city expected to be speaking. And Weather Channels sam champion joins us from midtown manhattan. Reporter how are you. We are starting nice to see you, too. You can see that we are in the zone that around columbus circle. We had light snow move through the area. Stuff that youre seeing here jose, is all from the weekend, slush and ice they pulled off the roads and sidewalks. So you start with a nice clear base to get the snow on top of. The moment you came to us, a little sun peeking through the clouds. But were going to take care of that pretty soon. As this low gets closer to the coastline, whats going to happen is it really gets extra energy from the jet stream has plenty of open ocean moisture to work with. This thing has everything it needs to be a monster. The interesting thing is which model wins here. We have a couple different versions of whats going to happen. One of them would put this area in new york city in more of a band like 8 inches of snow while another model will put it in almost 12 to 18 inches of snow. This is the kind of thing everybody looks at the forecast about, and everybody is deciding what model to go with. It means a lot to people. Am i going to get 8 inches or 18 inches of snow. We are going to be watching that carefully. The Weather Channel is tightening those bands and looking at it throughout the day and tonight. Jose you said something earlier about getting people off the roads. I wholeheartedly totally agree. By afternoon and evening hours, you should be ready to sit this out safely inside your home. And sam, talk to me about what exactly thunder snow means. Hahaha. Well, you know used to be something we said you never really see it never hear it cant show you pictures because it is a sign of an explosively developing winter storm. Just like in a regular thunderstorm, the mechanics work the same way. When youre starting to build a powerful storm, youre getting huge lift. Clouds are really taking moisture and shoving it up into the atmosphere. And as it goes up you start shedding layers of moisture. The air goes up and it starts throwing moisture out so it can get higher. It starts going higher and higher. As it goes so fast like that rapid development, youll see classic signs of that. Lightning, a little thunder. The weird thing is when you see it and dont think about putting it together with snow so in the strongest, most rapidly intensifying snow storms we have thunder snow. It is one of the things everybody in this business wants to say they stood there and watched it. Just a few times have i had the opportunity to see it and we expect we will have that classic development of a big, rapidly building storm tonight. Weather channel sam champion. Good to see you, my friend. Thanks for being with me. Nice to see you, sir. Now with the latest on the airport situation, lets bring in aviation producer jay blackman. Good morning. Good morning. Talking thousands of cancellations . Talking about upwards of 2500 cancelations, more than 3,000 delayed, and it is just going to get worse. If you dont have to go to the airport, it would be a good idea. The airlines at this point have a liberal cancellation policy. You dont want to be stuck sleeping at an airport overnight. This is not just effecting the northeast of the United States. It is said three new york airports are effected by snow it is like getting a cold. It shuts down the entire air space. You have International Flights that use kennedy and newark frequently. It is really the most crowded air space in the nation. Right now, you have flight you want to keep an eye on it. It is tough in new york and new york city. Its also going to be difficult at dca, washington reagan airport, because we have a little light snow going on. Boston Logan Airport after 7 00 p. M. All airlines cancelled flights. The airport hopes to remain open, keep runways plowed try to keep up with it. A spokesman telling me theyll plow until it is too dangerous for employees to be on runways. Nbcs jay blackman thank you for that update. Appreciate it. A few hours from now, that blizzard will blanket the northeast. No question about it. The snow is already falling. May look pretty but there are dangers everywhere even outside your front door, kids, the elderly may be especially at risk in the storm. Dr. Devi good morning. A snowstorm is a great time to be a kid, could be dangerous. I agree. They have the same risk that we do as adults. And more at risk for slips and falls. Can have head injuries related to hitting the pavement or hitting tools. It is dangerous to be outside when it gets as cold as it is expected to get in the northeast. Of course. Kids i group them into two categories. Kids can communicate, if they recognize symptoms, say frostbite frostbite, fingers are changing colors fingers or nose is getting numb maybe they can stay out longer theyll be able to tell you a problem, as opposed to kids that are smaller that cant talk or communicate, you want to bring them in sooner. Theres not a set time. You have to be careful about that. And adults too, we have to be careful of frostbite, it is common in the fingers, nose ears toes these are areas that can freeze and low body temperature is a huge problem in this weather. Always a pleasure to see you. Nice to see you, too. Stay with msnbc. We have special coverage of blizzard 2015 starting 1 00 p. M. Eastern with craig melvin. Coming up, a win for greeces far left party causing concerns for the markets. We have a live report from athens. And the northeast bracing for the storm for the record books. Were taking you to crossroads of the world for a live report next. First, blizzard2015 is trending worldwide. Here is a photo mosaic more on the store ahead on the rundown. Next. Expected wait time 55 minutes. Your call is important to us. Thank you for your patience. Waiter vo in the nation, we know how it feels when you arent treated like a priority. We do things differently. Well take care of it. Vo we put members first. Join the nation. Thank you. Nationwide is on your side a live picture now from boston where the new England Patriots are getting a super bowl sendoff, trying to get out of town before the blizzard hits. Now i want to take you to greece and Major Political changes. A new leader was sworn in following an election that challenged austerity measures. Michelle car use oh cabrera is in athens. Give us the big picture. What happened . Reporter well, what happened was we had a leftist, a socialist, near communist leader elected as the leader of greece. He campaigned on the problem to renegotiate a massive bailout, 300 billion, with the lenders of the country. All of the austerity measures he doesnt like them and the population doesnt like them. Dont like the fact that government size is cut, salaries cut, pensions cut, unemployment has gone up. He promises to do renegotiation. But the problem is all of the things he wants to do the other countries and International Monetary fund dont want him to do. So promises to be a showdown. How is that showdown going to finish . Many people worry that ultimately greece could be kicked out of the eurozone the group of countries that decided to use the euro or he may want to leave. If that happens, could lead to instability in europe and instability for the u. S. Economy, it is a big trading partner for us. Michelle the euro has been slipping forecasting it may reach parody with the dollar by this summer but the question this leader can say he is going to do this and that but theyre expecting a 9 billion euro injection of cash in the next couple weeks to continue running the government. Thats even in jeopardy now. Reporter yeah thats the leverage that they have over him. He says he wants to do this that and the other thing. Has a list of things they dont like. They can turn to him and say you want to do those things, then you wont get the money which helps you pay your bills and salaries. So thats what they have over him. At the same time, they dont want to see instability. So looks like theres going to have to be some give and take between the two sides. May have to give him a little of what he wants to avoid a bigger issue. And michelle as you said beginning of this conversation, he says he is going to renegotiate with europe the german chancellor is not very prone to doing this kind of stuff. The question is, even if he is willing to talk theyre not willing to change their position. Reporter no, no. The only thing they are willing to do is they have a huge batch of loans. They said okay maybe what we could do is give you longer to pay it back and reduce interest rates. Imagine if you have a mortgage and the bank says instead of 30 years you can have 50 years, instead of 4 rate you can have a 1 rate. They might be willing to do that, but he has to stick with conditions they impose which he doesnt want to stick with. Thats the real issue. Michelle thank you so much for being with me this morning. Meanwhile, the United States launched drone strikes against al qaeda in yemen this morning. The first since the countrys ruling government was toppled by shiite rebels. Joined by former white house middle east policy adviser. Good morning, jose. The president said this strategy is basically the best we have. Does it change now that the ruling government has essentially dissolved . The special terrorism and counter forces that are currently based in yemen the president intends to keep there, u. S. Forces theyre working quietly with saudi and yemenese forces. The fact of the matter is without a Central Government thats been allied with the United States, president hadi and his government thats now been overthrown the United States loses an important ally and most importantly al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is able to ride the tiger of the sunni anger that will gel up in yemen as a result of the shiite, houthi takeover of the capitol. Yemen continues to be a very difficult place to be at and it seems as though we have very few allies in that part of the world, with the exception of saudi arabia thats been effective on the border with yemen. It is going to require, jose you have it right, it will require the white house to engage more deeply with the saudis with respect to what do we do strategically with respect to the future of yemen because it poses not just a threat to the United States al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, but direct threat to the saudis. As you know jose the president cutting short a trip to india and flying in to pay respects on the passing of King Abdullah and more importantly to have a crucial meeting with the new king, king salman i am sure that yemen is high on the topic of conversation. Ambassador, i want to turn to japan. The government there is coordinating efforts with jordan and other countries to try to save the remaining hostage. Boy, is there any chance this man survives . The reason why the japanese are trying to work with the government of jordan is as you know the isis terrorist organization has essentially demanded that a former female terrorist who has been in jail in jordan who was instrumental with her husband in the terrible attack in 2003 in an amman wedding hotel. Her husband was killed in the attack. She was able to escape and was captured. The isis leadership wants her now freed. Whether or not the jordan government will bartter her for the safety and security of the japanese hostage remains to be seen. I dont understand what the jordanians have to gain. They have their own pilot captured by isis maybe theres a three way trade going on here. Ambassador thank you very much. Pleasure to have you. Sure. Lets turn to the weather story, a few hours from a dangerous blizzard in new england. Forecasters say some areas could see three feet of snow in some places. We have two reports for you now. Lets start with Weather Channel jim cantore in boston an area that could see the heaviest amount of snow. Jim, good morning. Reporter hey, jose it is a huge deal. Already one of the most important parts of the equation has come out. Governor malloy recently saying look we have a complete travel ban in the state of connecticut starting 9 00 tonight. Thats enormous because last time in the blizzard in the northeast where connecticut got 40 inches of snow they didnt shut down the roads. They did in massachusetts. We are hoping at 1 00 today governor baker follows suit. It wouldnt surprise me at all. They had tremendous success in the last big blizzard of when they shut things down to get it back up and running again. We cannot have people on the roads. It is a huge deal. Happy to hear governor malloy did that in the state of connecticut. It doesnt matter how much. If we get 24 inches or 32 inches, it doesnt really matter because the snow is going to be blowing around horizontal with 50 to 70 Miles Per Hour winds. So the amounts dont matter. The problem is you just cant get out there when it is zero visibility, when wind chills are below zero people are literally trapped in cars under snow drifts because the wind is piling up snow on top of the cars. If we can keep people off the roads, somewhat keep up with snowfall let the storm go by get out, clear things out, i am telling you, this part of the world which is heavily traveled will get on its feet again in a big hurry. The worst tonight. Back to you. So important what you said. Really appreciate it. Now is the time if you have to be out to get something, you have to do it now, right . Reporter yes. Now is the time. My thing for boston is i think by a little after sunset tonight, Everybody Needs to be home, and be ready to shelter in place for 24 to maybe 36 hours. Thanks so much. I want to go to cnbc morgan brennan, shes in times square. Things are going to change quickly, right . Reporter thats what we are hearing. The snow is coming down but it is pretty light now. It is pretty chilly now, 27 degrees in times square. But in general throughout the tristate area officials have been preparing for this quote potentially historic snowstorm. It is a blizzard thats expected in the city to drop from 18 inches of snow to three feet. Wind gusts as high as 65 Miles Per Hour. Potentially whiteouts in certain areas. So just to put the magnitude of the forecast into perspective for you, there have only been five times in new york city since 1888 that we have seen 20 inches or more of snow by a snowstorm. The most recent example is february, 2010 we got 20. 9 inches. Before that january of 1996. So as was just mentioned, the governor of connecticut holding a press conference a travel ban goes in effect at 9 00 p. M. Eastern. New york governor andrew cuomo, new york city mayor, bill de blasio, both urging commuters to work from home work remotely stay off the roads, if possible today. We have National Weather service issuing a blizzard warning. That goes into effect at 1 00 p. M. And as far as businesses in the city are concerned, many are playing it by ear. The Stock Exchange, for example, remains open. Last time we saw the Stock Exchange close because of snow 1969. Back to you. Morgan brennan in new york. Jim cantore in boston. Thank you both for being with me. Up next, Blizzard Edition of five things. Before the break, take a live look at washington, d. C.

Despite what we think here in miami, snowstorms are actually part of everyday life for some. But some storms stand out more than others like these, five things blizzard. Number one, storm with a nickname floridians can relate to. The great white hurricane. March 12th 1888 dumping 50 inches of snow from montreal to washington, d. C. Winds in new york city reached 60 Miles Per Hour. Number two, trick or treat. Halloween blizzard of 1991 hitting minnesota and iowa day before halloween, forcing a lot of kids to go as snow men and women. It shut down interstate 35 in iowa causing 11 million of damage across minnesota. Number three, a storm we covered here last november in buffalo. We all remember the pictures of raffle wilson stadium where the bills could have used some hot air from deflate gate. Number four, leave the u. S. And head to china. The great wall of china blizzard november, 2012 beijing and surrounding areas getting the heaviest snowfall in 50 years. Number five. I remember this like yesterday. We are all still recovering. Known as the day it snowed in miami. Yeah real snow. It happened on the 19th of january, 1977 temperatures dropped down to the 30s, the 30s. And the new york staff thinks they have it back.
