This is a fountain in new york city almost completely frozen over. It actually looks completely frozen over. It is frozen. It does look a little beautiful, but i would rather be inside. Watching it from here. Exactly. Well begin this morning with that deadly freeze gripping so much of the country.

Erie, pennsylvania brought to a halt this week, buried under more than 65 inch of snow. Even this snowplow got stuck. Today well be out probably 10, 15 hours easily. We have been out since 2 00 in the morning. Reporter the city now bracing itself for another 10 inches of snow friday into saturday. Oswego county bearing the brunt of the deep freeze under a state of emergency. We really got hit this year. City, this fountain turning into an ice sculpture. The coast guard breaking up ice in green bay. And just to give you an idea of how much snow we are actually talking about here, erie gets about 100 inches of snow all winter. So far, they have gotten 102 inches just in december alone. Paula . Jawdropping numbers. 102 inches alone in december. All right, alex. Well send you shovels and hot chocolate by the way. We turn to rob marciano. Is there any relief in sight from this bitter cold . Its only going to get worse. Im sorry to say. It will be a long duration. They have had a long one near minneapolis. The falls there, singledigit highs, and its freezing the rivers and rapids there. We have windchill warnings and watches. This is dangerous stuff over the next two days. Check out these numbers. 15 below in here in new york. Im glad to be inside. We will have another surge of cold air in half the country. 11 degrees, the windchill of minus 4. That could be the coldest since 1962. Stop looking so happy about it, please. Three words you dont want to hear. Long duration event. With a smile on his face. Thank you, robert. Now to politics, and Alabama Republican Roy Moore filing a lawsuit to block the Senate Election results alleging fraud. Abcs Stephanie Ramos is on the story in washington this morning. Stephanie, good morning to you. Reporter dan, good morning. Roy moore just wont give up. Overnight in alabama, the Moore Campaign filed a lastminute complaint to prevent his loss from becoming official. He has refused to concede since the december 12th vote which he lost by about 20,000 moore filed his complaint seeking a temporary restraining order to delay the certification alleging potential election fraud. That altered the outcome of the election. He says, this is not a republican or democrat issue as election interestingty should matter to everyone. The board is scheduled to meet this afternoon to certify jones victory. The Board Meeting will take place as planned and doug jones will be sworn in by Vice President pence on the 3rd of january. State officials said last week they have found no evidence of voter fraud in the senate race. In moores complaint though, he also says he took a polygraph over the Sexual Misconduct allegations against him, and he says those results prove he did not know any of those women, dan. Just to put a fine point on this, these lastminute maneuvers are not expected to delay the certification of doug jones win . Reporter not really, dan. The secretary of state unlikely that jones would not be certified as the winner of that election. Dan. This election in alabama continues to generate controversy. Thank you very much. We appreciate your reporting. Paula, over to you. Possibly closure as stephanie said. President trump stirring up controversy on his working vacation in florida, touting his legislative successes. All as his former Campaign Manager faces Sexual Assault allegations. Kenneth moton has the very latest. Good morning to you, kenneth. Reporter good morning, paula. It was a nice gesture. President trump taking a break to thank firefighters at a local fire station, but the president spent most of his time in front of the cameras talking about his first year in office. President trumps surprise visit. You do a fantastic job, so we wanted to thank you very much. Reporter the president stopping by a West Palm Beach re record. We have signed more legislation than anybody. Broke the record. Reporter that claim, false. President trump has signed the least amount of bills than any president at this point in office. We catch glimpses of him playing golf nearly every day of his vacation. But a box truck blocked the view of the president hitting the lakes. Corey lewandowski is on defense, now facing a Sexual Assault allegation. A trump supporter who wore a make America Great again picture tweeted this picture. She said it was taken seconds before lewandowski slapped her behind not once, but twice. She was shocked, she wrote. She told abc news, if lewandowski, would, quote, apologize, thats all i want. Lewandowski, a contributor with the fox the allegations. Im not here to speak for joy, but im here to speak for me, and what i will do is let the process play forward. Reporter its not the first time lewandowski has faced legal trouble. During the campaign, he was involved in a physical altercation grabbing a reporter by the arm, but the misdemeanor Battery Charge was dropped. Thank you, we appreciate your reporting. Lets bring in our chief political analyst, matthew dowd. Good morning. Lets talk about this lewandowski case. The president appears to be close to the accuser and the accused here. How does he handle this, especially because he has his own accusers . Reporter we well, this is a difficult spot for the president to be in. This is like pirates of the caribbean where all these characters are surrounding him, and they have problems. We know what happened with paul manafort, and the candidate he endorsed in alabama. A series of folks, in surrounding this world, and in the end, the president is barbo barbosa, big as corey lewandowski. Its a difficulty that the white house is in. I knew some cultural references would be thrown in this morning. Lets talk about the president specifically, and his claim that he repeated that he has signed more legislation than any other president. So it is absolutely true that trump has some big wins under his belt, including the tax bill that just went through, but its not true. Its verifiably false that he signed the most legislation. Why do you think he keeps saying this . Im just shocked that the president exaggerates like this. We havent seen this before from him. In politics, we have seen all president s exaggerate, and probably stretch the truth in this, but this president , when you look at the averages of this president , this president exaggerates or makes stuff up an average of five times a day. It has become commonplace in the presidency. He is sort of the olympic champion of this kind of stuff, and he continues to do it, and my guess is for the next two years, three years, he will continue to do it. Hi, matt. Its paula. Good morning to you. Hey, paula. There is a lot of uncertainty with the tax bill that dan brought up. What should you know if you are one of the many people rushing to make those deductions that will soon disappear with the tax law taking effect . Specifically property taxes. Sure. You have a major tax reform change through at the last minute in a rushed manner right before the new year. We have the law of unintended consequences and this is the first one well see, and well see more. I paid my property taxes last week for 2017. Those are still deductible because i was billed, assessed and it was all for 2017. You cannot deduct those expenses for 2018 unless you have been billed and assessed in 2017, and pay it in 2017. We need to look at if you pay 2017, youre fine. And its really up to the municipali municipality, the local municipality to decide. We tried to prepay 2018, and they said no. Its up to the jurisdiction as well. As i said, this is the law of unintended consequences and well see more of this when you see major changes in a tax bill. Matt dowd, thanks so much. We want to move now to the Airport Security scare, raising questions about safety in the skies after a tokyobound plane was forced to turn around mid flight when an unauthorized passenger was found on board. John legend and Chrissy Teigen were delayed a total of 15 hours. Matt gutman is at l. A. X. To tell us what happened. Good morning, matt. Reporter sources tell us which was likely not a mistake. They say one of two brothers with very similar names likely used a duplicate boarding pass to get on the plane, and then flight attendants didnt realize board until the flight was halfway to tokyo, which is one reason they are calling this the flight to nowhere. This morning, the fbi is weighing criminal charges against a pair of brothers who somehow got on flight 175, los angeles to tokyo, using a single boarding pass. The socalled flight to nowhere took off from los angeles at noon on wednesday and just four hours later, boomeranged back when flight attendants discovered the possible stowaway. It turned out to be a 4,000mile detour. Overnight, we learned the brothers have nearly identical names and used a duplicate boarding pass. One had a legitimate ticket for flight 175, and the other brother had a legitimate ticket to tokyo, but on a different flight on a different airline. Once we get those answers, then you can kind of reverse engineer the process and make sure you dont let that occur again. Reporter and er hours delayed, that plane finally unloaded 208 very frustrated passengers in tokyo. Mostly tired and pretty angry. Pretty upset. Definitely disappointed. Reporter abc news was there meeting honeymooners. Theres no competition to give us back that day. Reporter there was also a very prominent tweeter, supermodel Chrissy Teigen. Thank you for this awesome vacation, babe. Reporter her tweet storm went viral. Now she is asking, i just need to know why we couldnt have flown to tokyo, and et settled s one persons mistake . The company apologized for passengers inconvenience. Now being a stowaway is a federal crime. Its punishable by up to five years in prison, and authorities are poring over surveillance video. But the airline could face hefty fines for allowing that passenger on board, and failing to make an accurate head count. They have offered all those passengers a 265 or thereabout voucher. If you are in the middle seat, i dont know if that cuts it. Thank you. Now to the dramatic rescue caught on bodycam. Officers pulling teenagers from an overturned vehicle that burst into flames, and eva pilgrim has the story on how these officers risked their own lives. Back up. The car is on fire back up reporter a fiery car crash, three teens inside, four milwaukee Police Officers jumping into action. When we saw the car up in flames and we saw the two kids in the back unconscious, we knew we had to get them out. Reporter this car upside down afterit pole. The bodycam capturing the rush to get the two teens inside. You see an officer tap on the window yelling. Crawl reporter when no one comes out, one of the officers goes in, pulling the teen from the car, dragging him away. We started getting people out as quick as we could, knowing that was our job right then and there. Reporter the fire growing. The officers go back in, getting a second teen out, moving him to safety. Come on. Reporter another teen was able to get out on his own. All three were taken to the hospital. And these same officers had actually tried to pull over this car for speeding just a short time before the accident. It didnt stop, so the driver will face charges for not stopping and for reckless driving. Eva, thanks. And now to the big money thats up for grabs after last nights lottery drawing. Still no powerball winners of massive multimillion dollar jackpots that are sparking lottery fever this week, and abcs t. J. Holmes is here with us. Did you buy your ticket . No, because im not going to win. Here we go again with this. The powerball, up to 384 million. If you take the cash, buy out. Thats 239 million. Youre not going to win that.

Everyone wants this warm, fuzzy story about the lottery. Look at your face. Your hopes and dreams. You dashed all of them. If you want to bring nihilistic sarcasm, absolutely. Heres how jaded we are.

Unprecedented security will be present on the strip including the nevada initial guard and at least 20 armed vehicles. You can understand the insecurity in that city, but first this half hour, to those four teenagers charged for dropping sandbags off an overpass, and ikilling a man. Gio benitez is here with the lathest. Good morning to you. Reporter that sandbag crashed through the windshield severely injuring the 22yearold, and he died two days later, and now those teens are facing charges. The sobering reality for these teenage boys spending their Holiday Season in a juvenile detention center. Each between the ages of 13 and 15, openly crying, denying charges of murder vandalism stemming from a prank that turned deadly.

Reporter 22yearold marquise byrd, dying from his injuries two days later. I will say today from each of the juveniles. Reporter this coming just two months after five teenagers in michigan were charged with seconddegree murder accused of throwing rocks off on overpass on the exact same highway. One deadly toss of a sixpound rock killing 32yearold father of four, kenneth white. The five defendants pleaded not guilty and face possible life imprisonment if convicted. In this latest case, an attorney for one of the boys, his client expresses remorse victim, and the prosecutor tells us its unlikely for them to be tried as adults because the bar is too high. Gio, thank you so much. Lets bring in a pair of guests. Stephanie dowd is a clinical psychologist at the child mind institute, and areva martin in los angeles, welcome to both of you. Dr. Dowd, lets start with you. Some of these kids, were talking 13, and 14 years old. When role does the Development Play in this . Brain Development Plays a big role in this. For teens, the brain is still developing. For the human brain, its developing through the mid 20s, and so the part of the brain that is called the prefrontal cortex is responsible for planning, thinking through shortterm, longterm consequences. Controlling ones emotions and impulses. That is the last part of the brain to develop. So its important to recognize that tee engage in those behaviors. Its just an underdeveloped part of the brain for them. This is a horrifying story for both of us. We both have boys at home. Can you say more about what drives these teenagers to do these things . Its hard for adults to comprehend that a teen could do Something Like this, yobut the important thing to remember is the teen brain is different than the adult brain. Teens have a tough time understanding shortterm and longterm consequences because they tend to be more impulsive and reactive. The other thing is that teens have more intense emotions. They feel their emotions more intensely, and so its harder for them to hit the brakes in response to their feelings, and teens tend to be really influenced by their peers, and peer approval is highly rewarding for in their life. I want to bring in areva from los angeles. Those michigan kids just a few years older are being tried in adults and in ohio as juveniles. Is that the right call, and do we take into account the physiological development we were just talking about . Juveniles can be transferped to adult court, and states look at the age of the teens when the alleged crime occurs. They look at prior offenses and the severity of the crime. In the michigan case, the boys were older. Although it was just a couple of years, that makes a big difference in terms of the criminal Justice System and whether they will be tried as juveniles or adults. In ohio, the bar is a lot higher and they look at whether or not there is enough time to rehabilitate these teens, and the prosecutor has determined that because they were 13 to 15 years old, they cant be tried different states look at these situations differently, and depending on the state, you can have what looks to be similar situations treated very differently. Some in juvenile court, and some in traditional court. A young man was killed in this case. His family is in mourning. They want these kids tried as adults. This is an incredibly tough balance to strike. It substituabsolutely is, an prosecutors and judges have to make these calls all the time, and in some cases, families dont believe justice is served and in ohio, the families feel like these boys should be tried in adult courts, but the Prosecutor Says it wont happen, and they will stay in the juvenile system. Just a point as we thank areva and stephanie, thank you both. This is a great case to discuss with your teenagers. Absolutely. Coming up, the baseball coach at the top of his game suddenly fighting for his life his miraculous survival story straight ahead. Hey google, good morning. Good morning, claire. Its 52 degrees with a chance of rain, so you might want an umbrella. Oh, thats thoughtful. Itll also read you the news, look up traffic, and tell you your first meeting is at 9am.

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.

We are back now with that heartstopping race to save the life of Houston Astros First Base Coach. The world series champion was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at the teams big celebration, and abcs Adrienne Bankert is here with more on his miraculous recovery. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you, paula. Whats better than the world series . Being there to celebrate. But the odds alive after what seemed nothing more than a clumsy fall. The First Base Coach was an integral part of the first world series win for the astros in 60 years. Proudly riding in the champions parade, but just hours later at city hall, he began to stagger, telling another team member he wasnt feeling well. By the time he was at the hospital, he was unresponsible, suffering from bleeding in the brain. The doctor said he had 3 of survival. I said, please, lord, dont take my husband. Reporter what no one knew was the night before the parade, he slipped on a wet floor and hit his head. He had no symptoms, not even a headache. I hit the right side of my head, but i didnt feel any pain, and i wasnt hurting, so i got up the next day and went to the parade. Reporter his story similar to other accounts where someone may not feel immediate pain af Natasha Richardson fell monday. Reporter in 2009, Natasha Richardson hit her head during a ski accident in canada and died. She returned to her hotel room and went to the hospital. The autopsy report shows she died from bleeding into her brain. Indaughters case, the doctors performed a threehour urg. I called and said, you need to come to houston because your dad has just it doesnt look good. Reporter but miraculously, three days later,daughter opened his eyes. This morning, he says he has zero side effects. I dont have any pain. I do not feel confused. I dont have any balance issues. He is a miracle. He is a walking miracle. But i do get kind of tired because he keeps telling me he is a miracle, so reporter you wont hear the last of that either. The doctor says there was so much blood in his brain that i pushed his brain onto the brain stem, and he is thanking the people who took him to the hospital, and saying, god used them to save his life. No side effects. 3 chance of survival. He went home and started to vacuuming and sent the video to doctors saying, im all right. Thank you. We want to bring in our chief medical correspondent, jen ashton, joining us from boston this morning. Hi there. Hi, paula. We mentioned gnaw tasha richardsons untimely death, but how rare are these . You know, it happens. Its not common, but obviously, we do see it. Its estimated to happen in 5 to 25 cases of severe head trauma. We have to put that into context. There are about 1. 7 million traumatic brain injuries in this country every year, and about 52,000 deaths attributed to that, and you have to look at the risk factors here. About when you talk about a sub durl hematoma. As we age, the brain does shrink a little bit. And when you are on blood thinners, that can increase the risk of bleeding at baseline, and if you jar your head, and it hits the inside of the skull, it can tear those veins and give you a sub durl. Coachdaughter was 65, and he was on bloodthinning medication, but he slipped and hit his head the night before, but he didnt have a headache. How would you know this happens . Take a look at this list of symptom symptoms. There are many symptoms, and the key is a change in mental status. If you have any of these symptoms after head trauma, you need to seek medical attention immediately. Go to an emergency room, call 911. Obviously, not all of symptoms mean you have it, but you have to err on the side of caution. Thank you.

Stephanie ramos is back in washington with the latest on how the make the most of those deductions while they are still around. Stephanie. Reporter dan, this morning so many taxpayers are rushing to pay their bill just before that new law, that new tax bill, takes effect january 1st. This tax bill would cut the amount millions of americans can deduct on federal tax bills. Its a new Financial Reality for a lot of people. The new law limits deductions for state and local income taxes and property taxes. Capping them at a combined 10,000. Accountants say some taxpayers could consider prepaying next years property taxes before the new year to get a larger deduction. That only gives you a couple of days to do so. Experts say if you are itemizing for 2017, check with your personal accountant to see if it makes sense. For example, if you have been assessed 20,000 in property tax, you could be saving between 3,000 and 8,000 by paying early, depending on your tax bracket. Thank you. Paula, over to you.

I didnt know they were household pets. They go out in the backyard after they grow up and get out of of diapers. There is a followup story in this. He does have a farm, so i guess it works. Yes. We want to turn now to our gma cover story on the spike in women using marijuana while pregnant. Dr. Jen ashton is back with more on this on the potential risks in moms. Can you talk about this trend . What do we know about marijuana use during pregnancy . The trend is going up. We know that women who are pregnant and in the prepregnancy period are using marijuana more. We dont know how much of this use is medicinal versus recreational yet. The numbers are pretty stragering. 14 of teens report using. 18 of those using actually meet criteria for a problem, and 34 to 60 of marijuana users continue use during pregnancy. So taken together, these numbers really get our attention. So what should pregnant women know about the possible risks and the dangers for their unborn child if they are going to continue the marijuana use . Well, to be clear, acog, which is our national organization, is explicit. There is no safe use of marijuana at all during pregnancy or postpartum if you are breastfeeding. We think there is the possibility that marijuana use can affect the development of the brain, and there have been studies that have shown that women who are pregnant who use marijuana weekly are at increased risk for having what we call a low birth weight baby, and thats having a baby thats less than 5 1 2 pounds, and that carries its own risks. Yes, we need more data, and yes, women need for options for official recommendations are crystal clear. Do not use marijuana during pregnancy. As a guide, what advice do you have for women if they have used pot recently . I think pregnant women cant be afraid to talk to their obstetrician or midwife about this. If you are using, or if you have used at any point in your pregnan pregnancy, stop immediately. Discuss this with your health care provider, and listen, we have to err on the side of caution. You dont want to roll the dice with one baby or two babies and so, you know, at this point, the bottom line is no need for weed when you talk about pregnancy. Okay. Great advice, and interesting study. Thank you, dr. Jen. Lets send things over to dan. Thank you, paula and jen. Switching gears to brandnew research from Consumer Reports on frozen pizzas as we head into prime footballen is, and count down to the super bowl.

I admire your subtlety. We break it down with our nutritionist, dawn jackson blatner. Good morning. On any given day, 1 in 8 americans are eating pizza, and my question for you, does it make any difference whether its frozen or delivery . I have shocking stats for you. Delivery pizza can be, like, eating a double cheeseburger for just one slice. Whoa. Whoa. Why is that a big deal . Look at this. This is a lot of calories i was, like, i was going to convince him. Its shocking. So, like, when you think about this, thats even half of your salts wow. When it comes to frozen pi a pizza, sometimes you can eat half to whole frozen pizza to be half of that pizza. They looked at pizzas and rated them on nutrition and taste, frozen pizzas. What were their picks . These are the top cheese winners. This is the american flatbread. Tomato sauce and threecheese pizza, and amys. These are the winners. Good job, winners. Each one of them is about 300 calories per serving, and they didnt come in high with the sodium and fat. Consumers found something interesting. That veggie piz sazas are healtr because the veggies take away the cheese, so the veggie pizza was the cold medal here. The california pizza kitchen, spinach grand prize. Are there other ways you can make these healthier . There are plenty of ways to make it healthier. You can add your own veggie toppings here. I love mushrooms and arugula. Onions and peppers. You bake that and finish it with fresh herbs like basil and orega oregano. Thanks for that. It makes it not only more nutrition, but its fresher tasting. You get nutrition and a fresher taste when you add your own toppings and herbs. It improves brain health and makes you less likely to wear tom brady socks. I like that. [ applause ] you cant see a dietitian without saying eat a salad with your pizza. Come on. There is going to be under your name, were going to put the word, no fun. Oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is all a pizza party. How can we make for those of us who love meat on our pizzas, how can we make that more healthy . Most people love a meattopped pizza. Take a cheese or veggietopped pizza, and add your own toppings.

This show is based in the 1950s, but its quite timely, having watched it last night and enjoyed what i saw. Its timely as it comes in the middle of the me too movement. I would to know what your thoughts are on the resonance of the show given current events. This is a show about a woman who is apologetically confident. It is written and produced, and directed by an extraordinary woman and extraordinary man who loves extraordinary women. Its i think it highlights some of the battles that women fought then and are still fighting today. Its amazing the battles continue. Michael, your thoughts on this . Yeah. I think especially speaking as a man during this period of time, i think men still have a lot to perspective, so, you know, these female shows that are coming out now are pretty important. I heard tom hanks say, this is a great time for men to shut up and listen. That was a wise thing to say. I want to show people a clip from the show. In this scene, rachel, youre giving your wedding toast. Take a look. Though i knew love would be great, i had no idea it would be anything that could justify what i paid for this dress. What i paid for that dress. Were very happy. And because its better than anything i would have imagined, i thought i should get up here and tell you all, that i love this man, and yes, there is shrimp in the egg rolls. Shrimp in egg rolls, not kosher. Hence the controversy. Michael, in that scene, the two of you look very happy, but you turn out to be the well, or the catalyst from which, you know, her career nice try spinning that. I dont see him as a villain. I see him as flawed, and if you watch the show, i think he has more depth than just being, you know, a superficial villain. Thats i would agree with that. That is absolutely correct.

Reporter archangel, the fourth of six new episodes is directed by jodie foster and stars la la lands rose marie dewitt. We got to so many themes not just about technology, but relationships between parents and children. Tempted by the idea of, you know, wanting to make sure they are safe, but that leads to living vicariously through them, and it leads the a strange dynamic and there is a device that allows you to control what your child experiences. That device top secret until the series debut. They tend to be cautionary tales. There was a lesson to be learned. Its, like, a modern day twilight zone. Im a huge fan.
