throughout the day tomorrow with not only rain but windy conditions. snow the farther west and north you get. here is how it breaks down at least for now. again, the track of this thing and timing of it will determine really where that rain-snow line is. but at the moment we think the majority of the heaviest snow will fall pretty much i-95 west and north and in that realm, 5 to 10 inches of wet snow after it starts as rain. farther north and west of that, 10 to 20 inches of snow and windy conditions. this will be the fourth major winter snowstorm that the northeast has had to endure. in some aspects at least the winds and waves, it may very well be the worst. we ll talk more about this later. okay, we will and then all the flights that are going to be canceled and the entire travel nightmare the next four days. all right, thanks. he was a loyal toyota customer but now he s a crusa crusader. you re looking at what changed his life. l of these. paid invoices go right here. bang! - t
live pictures now as we get ready for one of the hearings that we have been waiting for for weeks actually. in the hot seat, the head of toyota, akio toyoda coming in from japan, testifying before congress. we re all waiting to see what kind of questions will be asked, his answers, his testimony, will he be believable and what kind of impact this is going to make on all the recalls, the safety hazards, the accidents and the testimony we ve been hearing in the past couple of days from people who have been waiting for this moment for a very long time. he s definitely not in japan any more, that s for sure, answering lawmaker questions to foreign mr. toyoda and to the japanese on so many levels, the language, the body language, the culture could all make for a pretty awkward loss in translation

christopher santucci do what most people do when they get a new job. i gave two-week notice. two or three-week notice. reporter: the new job was with toyota in washington, d.c., as a liaison to assist federal regulators in their investigations. investigations run by the very agency santucci was leaving, the national highway traffic safety administration, called nhtsa for short. were there any? place any procedures within nhtsa that would govern your negotiating a job with an entity that you were supposed to be regulating? not that i m aware. it raises questions of conflict of interest. reporter: joan claybrook was long-time president of consumer advocacy group public citizen, and before that ran nhtsa for four years. there should not be a revolving door of people going from the government immediately to a company that s regulated by that agency.
