on track at dfw airport, one of the nation s busiest. officials near philadelphia are promising the power should be back on by tonight for the some 300,000 customers still in the dark after wednesday s snow and ice storm took down trees, power lines throughout the philadelphia suburbs, really causing huge problems down there. chad myers keeping an eye on that and the forecast for this morning, for the weekend. he s watching it all. chad? you know, you talk about portland and how ugly the snow was, and really, it s difficult to drive it, but the people of the west need the snow and need the rain. yeah, they do, they do. we ll get to that in a bit. it is cold across the northeast. 1 below in albany. these are not windchills. 19 in state college this morning. cold down south, 18 nashville, 29 in atlanta, and that s cold for there. look at this ugly map, nasty colors. 6 below bismarck, 4 below fargo, 3 below in minneapolis. i wish that was the windchill fact yorks but that s litera
albany, new york, right now this is not a windchill. that s the air temperature. it s 1 below there in your valley. 29 in atlanta, cold for them, 17 in nashville and 20 in memphis. not as cold as this, though. this is just an ugly color. i don t even like this color. 3 below zero in minneapolis. that s, again, not windchill, air temperature, zero milwaukee and 1 below in chicago. this is the mess out west. there are feet of snow going to come down in the rockies. i guess northern rockies. that s some good news for skiers, but that also means this storm is going to head our way, going to head to the northeast, going to spread some snow, not the 2 feet. that was possible, though. the storms are not going to combine. it was the cold air here, warm and moist air here. they re just going to miss each other, slide on by, so we don t get that major snow event. 2 to 4 inches, not 2 to 4 feet. i can handle that. there will be higher amounts, some spots 4 to 6 inches, but so far, so good. that
