Back to you guys. Wow. Gadi, thank you. Time to get a check of the allimportant weather today. Everybody is tuning in for this, al.

This is all cheap, inexpensive stuff you have laying around your house that you can use to survive this storm. Lets get right to it. I want to start with protecting your car. Did you know kitty litter can help protect your car . Were not talking about any kitty litter. Silica crystals. You want it to look like this. Blue with white crystals. That kind of cat litter. Believe it or not, it absorbs moisture. Take some random socks you have laying around the house i know you have plenty of old socks lathem doy them down, kitty litter inside and tie the top. Get on in here. It absorbs moisture so you can stick it in your dashboard and itll defog the windows quickly. If you dont want to be weird by your friends, stick it under your seat. This stuff is so powerful to absorb moisture, itll actually work for days to defog all of your windows, which is really, really cool. Heres Something Else you can do. Regular cooking spray. Pam, any of the brands. Cooking spray. You know how sometimes you cant open your door when it ices up and its been parked overnight or in a parking lot . Thats because water is getting in and freezing on the rubber se seam, and thats why you cant open it. Before you park your car overnight, take some cooking spray, spray it right on the rubber seam like this. All around just like this. Regular cooking spray. Take a dish towel and wipe off the excess. That will create a barrier and a lubricant so youll be able to open your door. Lets keep on going. Heres Something Else i did overnight. This is snow, by the way. I put a regular towel on here from your bathroom. No snow or ice on the windshield. Nice and easy. Something else, ill run through these. You have these boots, right, ladies . Theyre not waterproof. You can waterproof boots, shoes, sneakers, with wd40. We dad says its good for everything. Spray it all over. Let it dry. It creates a barrier, a seal. Believe it or not, it makes shoes waterproof. Heres Something Else. These are the last few bags i got in the store last night. Guess what . You dont need it. Bucket of hot water. A little bit of dish soap. A little splash of rubbing alcohol like that. Mix it all together, guys. Mix it together like that. Done. You have your homemade deicer fluid. You can put it on your pathway, and this will melt ice during the storm or after the storm. It melts it with the chemical reaction. Ill run inside for a couple quick ways to protect your home.

But why go back there, when you can stay home, with Neulasta Onpro . Strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. In a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17 to 1 , a 94 decrease. Applied the day of chemo, Neulasta Onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. Neulasta is for certain Cancer Patients receiving strong chemotherapy. Do not take neulasta if youre allergic to neulasta or Neupogen Filgrastim . Ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. Report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. In patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. The most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. So why go back there . If youd rather be home, ask your doctor about Neulasta Onpro. Welcome back, everybody. Heres a question, why do you think anyone would panic about having to pump their own gas . That is a question that carson daly is addressing in the orange room. Oregon introduced a new law for people to pump their own gas. They actually had banned people from pumping their gas because of, a, safety concerns, and also to protect the jobs of gas station attendants. While it may seem normal for you, me and most americans, this freedom of pumping gas is causing concern for oregon residents. Lets look at social media. Sandy writing, i dont know how to pump gas. Im 62. Mike wrote, i had to do it in california while visiting my brother and almost died doing it. This is a service only qualified people should perform. Samantha adds, ive deployed with the army, worked as a nurse in jail. None of these scare me as much as the thought of pumping fuel in oregon. Most americans, obviously, not scared to pump gas, but some prefer not to do it. We asked, how do you prefer to fill your cars gas tank. Overwhe overwhelmingly, you handle it yourself. 84 . 16 might be oregon and new jersey. Were not sure. Most of the country is in luck because new jersey now stands as the only state that does not allow people to pump their own gas. One might assume, guys, the sales of electric cars in oregon could skyrocket. Exactly. People are like, forget it. Im not going to learn now. Why bother . Do you have to plug in your own car . Carson, thank you very much. Ahead, much more on how people are coping with this massive winter storm and how long is this all going to last.

Thats the wind thats giving us the blowing snow and whiteout conditions at the shore. Cape may you can barely make out the traffic lights along beach avenue. The heavy snow has been moving into the shore more than four inches on the ground in Cape May County. 7 inches plus and some neighborhoods in southern delaware and look at the bands of heavy snowfall that are yet to reach the shore. Those are moving in. Inland, less snow but its still accumulating snow and with the wind blowing its going to feel cold all day. Theres the center of the storm moving off to the northeast but still close enough to give us not only snow but look at these wins. Gusting to 41 Miles Per Hour in Atlantic City and we could see them hit 50 miles an hour this afternoon. Still steady in philadelphia, trenton and Atlantic City. Starts to taper off from the west at 1 00 this afternoon. Its later this afternoon that well start to see this system come to an end but the wind will still be with us. And we it will still be a while before the roads are clear. The storm is affecting traffic throughout the area. Jessica boyington is standing by with a check on the roads. Every time an accident clears another pops up. We were watching 421 near trooper road because of a crash and i just saw a disabled vehicle here over into the ditch on the side of the shoulder after the highway. So thats pretty much what were seeing a lot of and i wanted to show you this. So many disabled vehicles popping up all over the place. Even if youre seeing that the roads are a little bit easier to come by. A snack knifed tractor trailer out on the turnpike. This exit 7a and you can see just in the general area and even trying to get up toward trenton, everything looks like that. Red, yellow, bits of orange there as well. Everything is slow on a stop and go basis. 42 around creek road, so here is the northbound side. Look how slow its going. We want to see that. Thats the traffic moving up toward the philadelphia area. Earlier an accident on the southbound side and that traffic is still moving but very slowly at that. The snow is still over into the roads and even the treated surfaces as well into the shoulders where were seeing a lot of people get stuck. Theres also a crash out on welsh road and ill check with the bridges too. All bridges down with speed restrictions to 35mileperhour. That goes for the ben franklin, the walt, and the betsy ross. And any time a crash occurs or is cleared another one pops up. Thanks. Heres live look at wilmington along i h95 there.

We are still under a blizzard warning here in norfolk, virginia. We are seeing wind gusts at 35 miles an hour. Somewhere between 8 to 10 inches of snow on the ground here. This unusual Winter Weather is basically bringing the south to a standstill this morning. Widespread school closures, business closures, highways, tunnels, bridges basically deserted at this hour. Airport cancellations up and down the southeast. Another major concern right now is Power Outages as thousands remain without power due to this storm. They are now battling the frigid temperatures without heat. That is something that crews are working to address very diligently, as these temperatures fall here in norfolk. Now as we said earlier, this storm is going to pass through the south by midmorning and head north. It is only going to intensify as it goes. Savannah . Catie, thank you so much. The nations Largest School system here in new york city is among those shut down today. Nbcs craig melvin is in central park, where the wind and snow are starting to pick up. Hey, craig. Good morning. Reporter and the temperature has dropped, as well, hoda. Its now 23 degrees. Id say roughly an inch or so has fallen so far, but the wind gusts have started. They are expecting 50mileperhour wind gusts in and around parts of new york today. You mentioned the citys School System being shut down. School systems in connecticut and new jersey quickly followed suit. Amtrak running on a modified schedule throughout the northeast. And the majority of flights out of laguardia and out of newark international, those flights have been cancelled.

In addition to the wind and the snow, the big story is going to be the bone chilling cold that follows. They are expecting single digit temperatures in and around the city tomorrow. Wind chills well below zero, hoda. Craig in central park. Stay warm. Thank you. Lets turn to al now. Hes going to tell us what we can expect.

Then through tomorrow for new england, those blizzard warnings from boston all the way up into maine. Were going to be watching this very closely as it pushes up. Snow for the midatlantic states. This afternoon, itll continue to tonight, and then the brutally cold air will start being drawn in behind this system. Were looking for anywhere from about 4 to 6 inches of snow from the peninsula to the midatlantic states. Then were going to be expecting anywhere from 1 to 2 inches. 3 to 6 for philadelphia. New york, 5 to 9 inches. Hartford, connecticut, will see 9 inches. Providence, 8 to 12. Portland, 10 to 15. Boston, 8 to 12. With snow falling quickly, we could see higher amounts. It may be an overachiever as we start to see the day wear on. Guys . Al, thank you so much. Politics now. This split between the president and his former chief strategist steve bannon is getting even more hostile. Overnight, a trump lawyer sent bannon a cease and desist letter, warning of legal action for allegedly breaching a nondisclosure agreement. Bannon is quoted in a new book saying, among other things, that a 2016 meeting between donald trump junior and russian operatives was treasonous. The meeting took place before bannon joined the team. The president fired back wednesday, said when bannon was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Thats a quote. However, on his radio show last night, bannon says he still supports the president and called him a great man. We should mention, Michael Wolff, who wrote the fire and fury inside the trump white house, will be here tomorrow morning for an exclusive, live interview. Well turn to hoda for the morning boost.
