Farther north, north of the notches, were at 8 degrees below zero in whitefield and berlin. Look the a the temperatures on top of Mount Washington though, 12 above. One of the warmest spots around milder, warmer air in the upper atmosphere as part of that system moving in from the south. All right, the winds fairly light out there right now coming out of the north. 5 to 10 Miles Per Hour. As we go through the day this afternoon and evening theyll pick up a little bit. We are going to see the winds gusting 15 to 20 Miles Per Hour and overnight to tomorrow, they could gust higher coming out of the north, 15, 30, and breezy and calming down a little bit. Thats, of course, part of the watching. Right now over the Granite State is clouds, you head farther north and thats partly cloudy. Thats the case throughout the cloudy in southern New Hampshire, closer to the storm. The farther north, the more you go, the more sun you will see at times. Now, well widen the view enough to show you the periphery of the system and the heavy snow is over long island, new york city and many points to the south, including washington d. C. , states getting a lot of snow out there, several feet possible, feet possible in many of these areas you see here in pink and even a blizzard warning in washington d. C. Up to new york city. But as we look at the rest of the nation. Here is a big picture of that storm, not a whole lot else going on, meaning pretty quiet rest of the week for us. Cold air has spread down into northern florida with temperatures in the 20s. All right, lets take a look at futurecast here, for the day today, again, more sun to the north, more clouds to the south and here is how close the snow gets. Southern, southeastern New Hampshire, some light snow or flurries, its possible this is where it may be accumulating very little amounts. Its possible a little farther north, farther west, you could see some flurries at times as well. For sunshine, tomorrow, bright and breezy on the way for tomorrow. In terms of where we could see flurries, possible anywhere up toward keene. Yeah, you can see some light flurry or snow at times, in terms of accumulating, thats probably only something possible in areas from maybe new ipswich to nashua, along the mass, new coast. Thats it. You get down to the southern parts of new england, you can see higher amounts. Cape cod, south shore, boston could see half a foot to as much as a foot. Here, light snow or flurries a possibility, a coating to an inch in just a few spots of southern, southeastern New Hampshire and the rest of us stay dry. Tomorrow, bright and breezy and milder, it gets milder monday and tuesday, fairly quiet week ahead as you can see here with south. Its hard to believe were getting virtually nothing out of it.

As part of our committee 2016 coverage, we are using the eight weeks leading up to the primary to look at eight key issues in this campaign. One priority for many voters, jobs, and the economy. Wmurs aixa dias is in our washington bureau. This is the big divide. Polls consistently show americans are split how they feel barack obama is handling the economy. Not surprising, given the mixed bag of economic news. The Unemployment Rate is going down, that jobs have been created, but the amount of growth, the trajectory of growth economists like josh says it creates uncertainty for many americans. My worry, they think this is a new normal we have to live with, when in fact, i think most of the problem we have, we havent achieved full recovery from the recession yet. Bivens says theres one major area that the economy is watching. Everyone agrees we should be doing better for sort of the bottom 80 of the workers and not seeing wage increases and where the rubber hits the roads. The democrats are going to try a paint a more optimistic picture, unemployment going down and jobs created. The republicans say not enough jobs are being created. People dont feel comfortable and they feel anxious about their economic situations. Economic growth will take more than just a president ial plan. If we continue to have divided government, the president will have a tough time doing anything about jobs. Last year employers added 2. 6 the best year for job gains since 1999. In washington, aixa diaz. Head over to our website, wmur. Com or under the politics section of our mobile app to see where the president ial candidates stand on this and other important issues. We are counting down to the 100th anniversary of the New Hampshire primary, you can watch an en n encore presentation of 100 years of tradition tomorrow at 4 00 here on wmur. Coming up, it was not a great friday night for unh hockey. Dartmouth picked up a win. Jamie has your sports next. Theres a lot of snow going on to the south. What were talking about mostly is chilly conditions and maybe a little bit of snow. Ill tell you where that could now, meteorologist josh judge with your storm watch 9 forecast. Its a chilly start out there. Especially in northern parts of New Hampshire. Those are also the areas today that will probably see the most sunshine, at least breaks of sunshine, if not partly sunny skies in northern New Hampshire. But its eight below right now and temperatures only making it up to the 20s. Mid to upper 20s everywhere else. Thats not a huge jump from where we are right now. Were in the teens to about 20 elsewhere. Winds out there light, but they through the day as that storm system makes a closer pass to the south. They strengthen the most tonight into tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow the highest winds pulling away as the storm does. So, now speaking of the storm, obviously, no snow here in New Hampshire right now, just clouds, which have slowly been advancing northward. As we widen the view, you can see that the no is within sites into parts of new england and pelting new york city right now, as well as new jersey, washington d. C. Getting the brunt of it, thats where the highest snowfall totals will likely be and thats where theres also a blizzard warning in effect right now. These red areas, a blizzard warning. Winter storm warnings, Winter Weather advisories, even flood warnings along the coast all in effect thanks to this very large scale storm. However, its not affecting us nearly as much. Thats for sure. Theres how large the storm is. You can see it here on the entire east coast. Pretty clearment which means a few minor bumps here and there. You go through the week and look at the cold weather, so its a cold weekend there. The cold air has permeated into southern parts of the usa. Lets look how it effects us hooker in the Granite State. Partly cloudy north and mostly cloudy southern New Hampshire through the morning and its possible we could see light flurries breaking out in southern New Hampshire and these are the areas right here where there could be maybe some very light coatings out there, maybe up to an inch who are a half inch in some of the spots in southeastern New Hampshire. Most of us dont see much more than a coating if nothing at all as it all pulls away and then we go to a sunny sunday in terms of the how much snowfall we could see, these are the areas, as i mentioned, maybe a trace to an inch in southeastern New Hampshire and areas farther north and west of that, you could see some flurries, but i dont think it will accumulate elsewhere and much higher in the Nations Capital and southern New Hampshire. The other part is denver for the big patriots game tomorrow. A look at futurecast, how that will pan out. Starting off the game tomorrow in the lower 40s, that area, that red dot just to the northwest of denver is where the stadium is and well put the futurecast in motion. There could be a couple of passing snow flurries, a snow shower or two during the game tomorrow. Hopefully it wont snow the entire time, but it looks like there could be some as we go through the day. Around here, the next seven days, nothing major. Weve got a little light snows possible. Tonight, bright and sunny, but breezy for tomorrow. Party. Josh exactly. Its all happening down south. Just get in your car and drive south if you want to see the snow. Amy i think theyre telling us not to do that. Josh i think they are, too. Amy j 648. Snoel continues to fall and blizzard warnings in the capital.

Five straight losses for u nh. And big ten at cornell, Charles Grant shut them down and 1918 18 saves. And monarchs playing adirondacks, a win in a shootout last night in new york and play tonight and then at 3 00. The celtics played at td garden. Olenick continues to be great for boston. Knocks down a threepointer. Boston led. In the second quarter, jimmy butler, who has become a star he had a doubledouble before halftime. Isaiah thomas had a threepointer. They win, and tonights game in philadelphia postponed until tomorrow night due to the snowstorm. Lets talk about the new england patriots, they are off, they are in denver now. They left Gillette Stadium early yesterday afternoon after tom brady and the guys had an Early Morning practice. Theyre set for tomorrows afc championship game at 3 00 against the broncos. Theyre a tough team to prepare for, but weve had two really good days here and finish up a lot of energy today. I know the guys are locked in and you know, got a lot of time on our hands between now and game time. Theyre all good players, theyve got a good quarterback. He makes them even better. Its going to be fun. As a competitor theres no better matchup. Again, this is a different game, definitely a Different Team with a different mindset. Theyve got a lot of quick receivers and then they have a big tight end who can create space, so, you know, and then they have tom brady, so i think that speaks for itself. Its a tough task. All right, and there is our crew in denver. They landed last night, photographer Chris Shepherd and jason king getting some dinner there, the live reports start tonight on 5 00 and 6 00 news live from denver.

I dont think i want to be that cold although its cold here this morning. Eight below north of the notches elsewhere. Warm today. The cold air is part of the reason the storm is missing us to the south. Its this big batch of cold air that the storm kind of just bounces off of and heads eastward instead of northward. So we could see some light snow or flurries in parts of southern afternoon or tonight with some minor, minor accumulations of a coating to maybe half an inch in a few spots of southern New Hampshire or southeastern New Hampshire. Right back to sunshine tomorrow, breezy and chilly and the week ahead. A few days into the 30s and 40s, milder this upcoming week. Amy good, i guess. Thats good.

Do be prepared for a little bit of that. One of the biggest effects of the storm to the south. Temperatures cold, up north, it was 8 below and now, its 6 of, 7, 8 below in some spots and jane tells its registering at 15 below. Brr, thats cold. Teens to lower 20s around the states mildest temperatures here in southeastern New Hampshire. The spot that has the greatest chance of maybe a coating of snow later today and tonight. Maybe. Its not a big time snow forecast here at all. Lots of clouds, thickest in soutern New Hampshire. Thinner as you get farther to the north where youll see sun at times today. Thats right, a little bit of sun with a storm system this major to our south. But its the cold air overhead and a big area of High Pressure system and doesnt let it get a whole lot farther north before its shoved to the east instead. There is the snow moving into southern parts of new england and long island, new york city, washington d. C. , all seeing heavy snow this morning, and expected to measure snow in feet in some of those locations and thats why there are the blizzard warnings, with the wind and the snow, Winter Weather advisories, flood warnings in effect for the coastal regions especially parts of new jersey, but as you can see, the rest of the nation pretty quiet out there. So, really the only game in town in terms of anything major going on around the nation, its brought the cold air down and thats why this is mostly snow in the air, look at the temperatures, wow, even cold into parts of northern florida where the blue continuing here in the 20s and upper 20s, rather, in some northern florida locations this morning. All right. A look at the snow again and well put the futurecast on here the south and try to lift up near the mass, New Hampshire border. Its tough to tell you how warm exactly it gets. Some putting it just a few miles over the massNew Hampshire border, meaning there could be flurries there. The main thrust of it stays to our south, southeastern New Hampshire because of the pivoting of the system as it changes direction. It could see a coating to maybe an inch in some of those locations. A lot of sunshine for tomorrow. Monday, partly sunny skies as well. Light snow is possible in any of these locations and in terms of accumulation, its limited to maybe, anywhere from Hampton Beach or seabrook down along the nashua and those are the areas with coating, and certainly a lot more expected in some of the mid Atlantic States. And some of those cities Like Washington d. C. And new york city. Things are pretty calm around here. A few flurries or light snow possible this afternoon and evening in southern New Hampshire. Sunshine for tomorrow. Breezy, cool, a little warmer, but still cold tomorrow and then theres your week ahead. Milder, monday, tuesday, wednesday. What do you think . Ok. It is what it is. Yeah. The man from manchester is defying the odds after being hit by a truck. He doesnt remember at all. Peter delmastro suffered a severe brain injury. And nows back doing what he loves. Walking his dog, riding his bike. Hes now raising money for cancer research. Peter delmastro is back on his bike riding stronger than ever. It means so much to me to be back on the bike and being able to do this. Eight months ago, delmastro was fighting for his life after being hit by a truck on south Willow Street in manchester while walking his dog.

Amy coming up next, more and more people have back yard chickens these days. For those who are new at the game, knowing the ins and outs of caring for chickens in cold weather. And stay home, thats the latest welcome to todays grow is green. Were in milford and im joined by Margaret Hagan from unh cooperative extension. Margaret, something thats popular recently, a lot of people are keeping their own they are. I imagine one thing in winter time chickens dont deal well with is the cold. So what do i do . In the state of New Hampshire, theres really no reason you need to heat a chicken coop because if you have a well constructed chicken coop with good ventilation and no drafts, you really dont have to heat. You dont have to heat and dont people believe you do. So if i decide maybe its not as well constructed, but i want to get heat there, what do i do. The first thing is you cant have drafts in the roosting area because it will leach the warm air away from their feathers, not good for them. And you can put heats in, although i dont necessarily recommend it, heat lamps and you need a generator if the power goes off because chickens dont deal well with dropping temperatures. In the winter time water freezes, i guess we have a solution here . If you have electricity, you can have heated water. I dont have electricity, what i use is a smaller waterer and i feel it in the morning and go out 1 00 or 2 00, and could cold days and change the water. Is there a special food in winter time as opposed to you dont need any special food, but because its cold, on really cold days, i will put out a little bit of scratch, which is basically cracked grains like oak, and put it in the morning to get their system moving and a little out before sunset in the afternoon again to give em this extra protein to get through the night. Something i havent seen right next to it before, i guess it gives the chickens something to do or what . Well if chickens get bored they tend to peck at each other. I put out things like cabbage they can peck at. This is called a flock block, you can leave it where they can come get food at their own pace if you dont have a feeder thats going all the time or cant get out to the coop for some reason, this is good to have. And unh happens to put out one of the handy dandy fact sheets as well. On winter chickens. Healthy all year long. Thats it for todays grow it green. Thank you.

Are you feeling left out of the party josh . A little, i want to play no, its staying to the south. Weve got clouds from it, but later on as you mentioned flakes in southern New Hampshire here and there, but there is where the brunt of it is. Look at new york city there with heavy bands of snow rolling through and baltimore and washington d. C. , the same thing. Well let you see the storm system as a whole here, as the center of it now right there. And eventually going to start pushing eastward instead of northward. So its very cold in New Hampshire, especially new that helps keep pushing the snow away. There could be light snow or flurries in the southern half of the states and mostly in southeastern New Hampshire, down the mass New Hampshire border out past nashua a little bit where the snow could stick. Even that is not going to be very much. Well talk about where those high temperatures go today and tomorrow, as well as the week ahead in a few minutes. Amy back to that Winter Weather thats walloping washington, the Nations Capital is projected to get up to two feet of snow. Wmurs sally kid joins us from d. C. With the latest on the situation there.

Right now, weve got some bands of light to moderate snow coming through. The wind is starting to pick up. Some areas are getting gusts of 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour right now. A foot of snow. Right here on this sidewalk, where a few blocks from the white house weve got, about a foot of snow, depending where youre standing. The good thing right now is that the snow is the kind of dry, fluffy, light stuff, but forecasters say this is going to change into the wet, heavy stuff, its really going to lay on those power lines and tree branches and that could be causing widespread power outages. You see, we have some work crews out here. Weve seen transportation vehicles, weve seen snow equipment, trying to move some of the snow aside that people who work in this building have been trying to keep this sidewalk as clear as possible, and weve actually seen a few people out and about this morning, walking down the middle of the street, all of them happen to be on their way to work.

The Unemployment Rate is going down, that jobs have been created, but the amount of growth, the trajectory of growth has been slower in past decades and past administrations. He says that the slow recovery worries americans. New normal to live with and most of it is we havent achieved recovery from the recession yet. Theres one major area that economists are watching. Everyone agrees we have a wage problem in the United States and we should be doing better for bottom 80 of workers. And where the rubber hits the roads, what do policy makers do about it. On the campaign trail, they make the case. The democrats are going to try to make a more optimistic picture. And republicans are going to say not enough jobs are created and people still dont feel comfortable, they feel dangerous about their own economic situations. Experts say Economic Growth will take more than just a president ial plan. If we continue to have divided government, the president s going to have a really tough time doing a whole lot about jobs.

Around here today, the look at the temperatures in the 20s, not much snow, depends where you are. Many places, most of the state not seeing you any. Well show you futurecast for that and accumulations that now, meteorologist josh judge with your storm watch 9 forecast. Josh saturday morning, were mostly cloudy in parts of the state. Northern New Hampshire and even dim sunshine will be coming through the clouds at times today. The farther north you head, the more sun youll see. The farther south you go, the more clouds youll see and light snow. Excuse me, 18 degrees right there in warner and a light wind out of the east and there is is your temperatures around the rest of the region. Its below zero this morning, north of the notches. And when you head south, youre in the teens and very low 20s. 21 in manchester. Look at the clouds, theyve been spreading northward and thinner the farther north you head. Were looking for partial sunshine northern New Hampshire. Some of it may come up and just give us light flurries or light snow at times this afternoon and evening, and far southern New Hampshire. Look at this, deep snow pack is being developed here and the heaviest snow in areas of now long island over to new york city. Pennsylvania and washington and baltimore as well. These are some the areas hardest hit with the most snow, as the system right now is headed north, but as it runs into the dry, cold air of High Pressure to the north, instead of moving north, it starts to move northeast and eastward, away from us and thats why it deflects away from here and we dont see very much or any snow out of it. Meanwhile, lots of warnings, Winter Weather advisories and more, all along the mid Atlantic States. You can emergency, theres know the a whole lot else going on in the country and cold air has sunk into the deep south. Parts of florida in the 20s this morning. All right, lets take a look at futurecast. We take the snow here and try to push north, but High Pressure fights back and keeps it from getting much farther than from border. Some of that snow could pivot around into southeastern New Hampshire and there could be light flurries into the parts of the state. Its not out of the question that a couple of spots see a coating to half had an inch or an inch in some spots far southern New Hampshire. I think it will be the exception rather than the rule. Here is what were looking at in terms of accumulations. Flurries possible in southern New Hampshire. In terms of accumulations, a trace to maybe an inch from west of nashua on up to salem and windham area and probably not all the way up to portsmouth. Just to about hampton. So, nothing major there. Going on, theres not much happening out out there in denver right now, but it will zoom in here and put futurecast in motion and there could be, here is the stadium right there and as we go through the day tomorrow, temperatures starting 0 of in the lower 40s. There will be some snow showers dancing around that region. So there could be times of light snow during the patriots afc championship game tomorrow. But the temperatures wont be all that cold. Here is your extended forecast today. Clouds to the south, more sun to the north and light snow possible. A little warmer by a few degrees tomorrow, otherwise bright sunshine, breezy, and the week ahead does look milder, monday through wednesday. Well, there you go. Its a miss this time around. Amy all right, thanks, josh. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the new york primary. There is some confidence in persistence and engaged journalists, wmurs jean mackin introduces us to those who primaries. Oh, wow, if you want a snapshot of the New Hampshire primary, just look through the lens of Associated Press photographer jim cole. Hes been preserving the primary frame by frame for decades. This makes 11. I started with ronald reagan, howard baker, george bush. Did we mention he has a photographic memory . He picked up the camera at 14 with a childhood dream to be published in life magazine. He is a done that three times. Now, hes focused on this primary, known for capturing the extraordinary moment on the campaign trail. Jeb bush stretching before a campaign event. Chris christie staring down a bull. One thing i always try and do is come up with something that is more New Hampshire primary than not. Do i have great shots of all of them . Covered just about everyone who has run for the last 30something years, 35 years. I call it like i see it. Wmur political reporter is considered the most experienced Political Writer in the state. Hes moving into double digit primary territory, this will be his 10th. I got to meet john glenn, george mcgovern, ted kennedy, just so many memories of candidates. Hes noticing more of a National Press presence and how technology is speeding up the political presses. Its so much different now because of social media because of the internet, because of the constant deadlines. Theres no deadline and yet, every minute is a deadline. Candidates for president i think New Hampshire has been a very interesting phenomenon to watch over the decades. Coki roberts with abc news has covered her share of primaries and sees a trend in recent cycles. Up and it was a lone candidate wandering into coffee shops and talking to individual voters. Now, it tends to be a huge staff and hordes of cameras following everyone around. On the search for the primary moments. Jean mackin, news 9. Now, jamie staton and news 9 sports.

Again, and this is a different game. This is definitely a Different Team with a different mindset. So, you know, weve got a good ga i am plan and weve got to execute it. Weve got a lot of quick receivers and then a big tight end who can create space, so, and then we have tom brady, so i think that speaks for itself. Its a very tough task. All right, and there is our crew that arrived in denver. Jason king, Chris Shepherd. Probably getting the two for 20 deal, probably dont know they get to keep the extra per diem money they dont spend. Theyre live from denver, 5 00 and 6 00 on the news.

Lanned on us, thats the way its going to freeze. Hes from the metro parks and snapped this on the pier a few days ago. Now take a look, not as dramatic, but still pretty incredible incredible. And learning photographers here in the bitter cold to get their own shots. Its after the storm, you know, its really nice out here. I mean, its cold, but you know, its nice. Here is how it works. Arctic air is blowing across lake erie from canada which hasnt frozen over yet. When the wind comes through, it splashes into the air and coats the wonderful light posts that we have and we get nights ice sculptures. When the wind changes directions, so do the decides. And icing over, geese that didnt fly south fast enough. And one close to the lake, the wing blocked in ice. How long will it last . Later than that, its going to stay frozen for a while. Josh those are beautiful, im happy not to be seeing them. Amy to watch them on tv, it would be cold and windy and wet if you were on the lake seeing those. Thats not the case here.

Polls consistently show that americans are split with how they feel president obama is dealing with the economy. The Unemployment Rate is going down and jobs created, but the amount of growth and trajectory. The slow economy creates uncertainties for many americans. My worry, they think this is a new normal we have to live the problem we have, we havent achieved full recovery. Everyone agrees we have a wage problem in the United States and everyone agrees we should be better for the bottom part and not seeing wage increases, and when the rubber hits the road. What do they do about it. The politicians make the case. The democrats are going to try to make an optimistic picture. Unemployment rate going down and republicans say not enough jobs are being created and people feel anxious about their own situations. Experts say Economic Growth takes more than a president ial plan. If we continue to have divided government, the president is going to have a tough time doing anything about jobs.

The guys are locked in and you know, a lot of time on our hands between now and game time, but theyre all good players and theyve got a good quarterback and he makes it better. So, its going to be a lot of fun. As a competitor, theres no better matchup. Again, this is a different game, and a Different Team with this mindset. Weve got to execute it.

I mean, its cold, but, you know, its nice. Here is how it works, arctic air is blowing across lake erie when the wind comes through and the waves get big and splashes up into the air and coats the wonderful light posts that we have and when we get the nice ice sculptures. When the wind changes direction, so do the cool signs and also icing over, geese that didnt fly south fast enough. Jake caught this photo and a wing blocked in ice. How long are the sculptures going to last . Probably, hopefully march, not any later than that, but, yeah, frozen for quite a while. Beautiful imagery there.
