connecticut s capital city. snow in new england in january typically wouldn t be a headline but given the lack of snow for much of the region not just this past year but in recent years, at least measurable snow i should say or plowable snow according to local officials, that s one of the reasons why officials and residents were certainly paying close attention to this particular storm that is still having an impact, a few flurries here in the area as that storm continues to make its way towards the northeast. roadways as we mentioned off the top, victor, are relatively clear so people on this sunday morning are able to make it to their destinations, but you can also see the plows working constantly. transportation officials told me yesterday that over 600 dedicated pieces of snow removal equipment have been strategically placed throughout the state in order to respond. they were also monitoring these roadways realtime with dozens of weather stations throughout the state, permanent loc
syracuse, binghamton, new york, also boston and portland looking at snowshowers continuing. that s going to be the case for the rest of the day today until this low pressure system finally exits out over the atlantic entirely, taking a i lot of that moisture with it later on this evening, but there s not really much time in between. you re still anticipating about 3 to 6 inches widespread across much of the region, some areas could pick up 8 to 10 inches on top of what they ve already had. you still have winter weather alerts in effect and they will say that way for the day today. we have more winter weather alerts that are starting to pop in the recent hours because of the next system that he is beginning to take shape across the western half of the country, even some blizzard warnings starting to fire up across portions of colorado as well as new mexico. this system is basically going to stretch from california all the way over into illinois. you re talking about a span of over 1,800
they re very concerned about how they re looking, their credibility is in terrible shape and this way it makes them look not overeager, but also really importantly gives them a chance to give the d.c. circuit first crack at it, lay down some law, give them sort of a leverage point to work off of rather than just taking it directly. obviously big timing pressure on jack smith who continues to push very aggressively trying to move it forward, but it makes sense that the supreme court wanted to have the d.c. circuit weigh in first. jack smith pointed out that ford in 1974 pardoned former president nixon and the pardon and the acceptance of that pardon points out that presidents knew they didn t have immunity, there would be no purpose of a pardon if he didn t have that immunity in the job. is that relevant really in this
seaboard, widespread 2 to 4 inches, some areas could pick up in excess of 6, but keep in mind for the southeast they just had rain from the first system. so that ground is very saturated which means it s going to lead to an increased potential for flooding. the main concern monday will be along the gulf coast for the flooding and by tuesday pretty much up and down the east coast stretching from florida up through massachusetts. the other concern we talked about, that s going to be this potential for severe weather, that does include the potential for tornadoes. we had our first tornado officially of the year yesterday in florida, that threat will continue, the next couple days, with this new system. monday, again, the main threat will be along the gulf coast, houston, new orleans, the potential for damaging winds and tornadoes. then tuesday that begins to shift a little bit farther east. so you re talking about pretty significant impacts not just monday, but also tuesday as this system
that s when a d.c. appeals court will hear arguments related to trump s claims. he has presidential immunity from prosecution, while a trial has been scheduled for march 4th, the case has been paused by the appeals process plays out. with me now is shen wu, former federal prosecutor. we ve been saying this for how many years, unprecedented that we now have a president, former president, who has been charged and now the question of immunity must be tested. what will they be considering in the context that they ve never had to answer this question really before in this way? i think they will be considering some rather weak arguments. trump s lawyers rather than making a more common sense argument of saying, look, argument he was trying to just do his job, maybe he has some authority in overseeing the elections, they have raised that
