We have 20 ambulances that are not functional because they are snowed in. Snowed in by as much as 40 inches in connecticut, where president obama has declared it eight of emergency. The weights of the snow is cracking houses and weighing on nerves. The plows come and put the snow back onto the driveway. Many of those who are making it out of the driveways are finding the roads still a mess. On long island the cleanup continues on snowblanketed streets where drivers were left stranded for hours. Back home, hundreds of thousands in new england are learning they are still without power. You have to bundle up in blankets, and it is still not enough. Emergency shelters are still open. Many schools remain closed. It becomes clear it will be a while before it melts away. I think it will be a few days before we are back and functioning.

Most of us, however, will be preoccupied with staying cool. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining us. We are here in the Weather Center talking with annie about how its going to heat up today. Going to heat up quickly especially in the east bay hill and all south toward livermore and antioch, the hottest readings, tripledigit heat and they will last a couple of days but you can see the golden gate, completely fogged in.

Temperatures right now, its already mild in antioch, 74 degrees right now, 62 in livermore. The rest of us, though, in the 50s, 53 in San Francisco, 58 in san jose and upper 40s in santa rosa, thats our cool spot, along t

Good evening, im ali velshi, picking up msnbcs continuing coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. The number of confirmed cases in the United States has surpassed 930,000 and more than 53,000 americans have died. Despite those startling numbers, some states are moving ahead with plans to reopen their economies. In georgia businesses like gyms, bowling alleys, nail salons and barber shops reopened yesterday. On monday restaurants and movie theaters will follow suit. Following President Trumps irresponsible and dangerous comments this week about treating coronavirus with disinfectants, theyre evaluating whether to reduce his participation in the news conferences in weeks to come. You may have noticed there was no press briefing today. The president tweeting in the last hour that because all he gets are, quote, hostile questions, theyre not, quote, worth the time and effort.
