together, some people to sleep in their offices a little bit longer. we ll be hearing about this for a while. you can improve, everybody can do better next time around. learn lessons and it is worth it if we learn something. that s right. the snow is falling but tapering off in new england. as of last night, 3 feet of snow fell on northern massachusetts. lisbon, connecticut had 26 inches. eastern long island new york 30 inches fell. justin is here with more. good morning, justin. thank you. good morning. the northeast waking up to much better weather finally our snowstorm rolling out of coastal new england. still some cold air behind but the sunshine will return and improve the road conditions in a hurry. i ll tell you what is wild, though. while we have snow and cold in the northeast we have temperatures in the 70s and 80s over the south plains. record high temperatures in jeopardy over much of kansas, oklahoma and texas. reena and t.j., back to you. thank you so much, j
storm again. and as it makes its way up the coast, and then makes that hook left as dylan talked about, depending on where it comes in, this could mean catastrophic results for the northeast. if it comes in, say central new jersey, it would be, of course, devastating for the jersey coastline. but the storm surge, the worst quadrant of the storm is the northeastern quadrant. that would put new york city, long island, coastal connecticut, coastal new england, in that major bull s-eye of the worst weather. and so we could be looking at massive power outages, stretching really from norfolk, virginia, all the way up to portland, maine. this isn t just a coastal storm, alex. if you remember, tropical storm irene last year, more damage occurred inland, as the storm moved inland, than it did along the coast. and that could happen again with this system. we would have massive problems along the coast. new york city, they have not declared a state of emergency yet. they have not, say, shut the
subways. but i suspect within the next 24 hours, as these models come closer to agreement, we ll be sheing more of these shutdowns and mandatory evacuations of low-lying areas, new york, long island, connecticut, because this could be a massive system. and unlike some other storms of the past we could be looking at a foot of snow inland, in parts of ohio, and pennsylvania, and west virginia. so, this has the potential of causing massive, massive disruptions for a long period. at least a week, and maybe even longer, for parts of the megalopolis stretching from washington, d.c. all the way up into new england, and as far west as buffalo and pittsburgh. yeah. so, al, as long as this high pressure stays where it is and the other storm that s been coming from the west, i mean that means it has to funnel right through those points, right? i mean, so you know that s where it s going. basically, that s right. and so, the question now is exactly where.
everything up. we need to be calm for the time being until the officials tell us when and where we need to leave. jenna: is there till a chance that the hurricane is just tropical storm? is that still a scenario that s out there? reporter: i think there s a possibility it could be downgraded, but now all those computer models that we look at from day-to-day, they re coming to some consolidation. they re all in agreement that we are going to have a land-falling hurricane at this point across two areas, the outer banks and somewhere across the northeast. it could be as far south as new jersey, it could be as far north as new england, coastal new england, and long island certainly looks like it s in that bull s eye for possibly a strong category one storm. jenna: janice, you ve really set us up well for our next guest, something we re going to be talking a lot about, rick. rick: we are. the head of the national hurricane center says there is
