performance of the blizzard problems from a few weeks ago over christmastime when cleanup was delayed and much of the city was left buried for days. officials say they ve taken extra precautions this time around but warn most roads won t be cleared for the morning rush hour. the snow also wreaking havoc on air travel across the country. i m usually a glass half full kind of guy but i m kind of worried that it s going to be too snowy tomorrow. and let s take a look at atlanta where hundreds of travelers are still stranded. but flights from other major hubs like chicago and new york also grounded. delta airlines alone has canceled 800 flights for today and like last time, the cancellations are expected to have a ripple effect at airports across the country. let s take a look at other headlines now from pakistan. vice president joe biden is there for a day of talks with top leaders. relations are tense right now and the u.s. wants the pakistan
shovel. no, so i m like oh, great. it s this new fangled snow blower. snow blower is not really committed to clearing the snow. it wants to move the snow. not that focused on it. is it motorized? if you plug it in. it s electric? it s a long cord. yeah. i mean, it seemed like a good idea in the spring. but now that it s winter here, the snow thrower, i don t know. i should go for the blower next year. more on that later. and we ll come out to your house and see how you re working it. a couple of quick headlines for you. brand new report says the air force commander on the plane that crashed killing poland s president, remember that last year, they say now that he was drunk. according to the russians, he apparently badgered the crew to try to land in bad weather. besi besides the president, it killed his wife and many of poland s elected. the poles have argued that russian air traffic controllers were at fault for allowing the
looks a lot worse. but the city clearly responding much better this time around. the snow started falling last night. just after 7:00 p.m. eastern time and by early this morning, there were 8.8 inches of snow on the ground in central park. up to a foot or more in some areas of new jersey and new york and they re expecting up to 20 inches out on long island. snow heavier and stronger in winds stronger in connecticut and massachusetts. they re saying about 14 inches are expected in the boston area today. school is open in new york city, by the way, and the mayor says that the city has prepared with 300 salt spreaders. they have 1700 plows. a bunch of other heavy equipment and they also brought out laborers with shovels this time around to try to clear the intersections. i don t have to tell you back on december 26th, day after christmas, when about a foot two feet were fell on new york city, they got all kinds of criticism. because the streets weren t plowed. the subways were stuck
all and all and you mentioned that storm the day after christmas, buried the city here with 20 inches of snow. more elsewhere. this particular storm, yes, we had a weather emergency before the snow got here but i m in the financial district area here in manhattan. we got about 5 to 6 inches of snow. as i was coming down here around 4:00 a.m. this morning, there were snow plows everywhere and also those salt spreaders that got these roads in good shape and as you can see, life goes on and we re already seeing people already trickling to work this morning. so all and all, i think the city here certainly missed the the bull s eye of this storm and it s further north and east. certainly, mayor bloomberg, as you know, has been under a lot of pressure to be on top of the weather situation after the debacle of december 26th. you sense this is actually going to be a working day on wall street where most of the kids are off from school? absolutely. in fact, we just spoke with the stock exch
writing. that s right. two major winter storms causing double trouble for travelers all across the country. going to baltimore now so i m taking a train hopefully home tonight. good luck. this is a look at new york s laguardia airport where almost all domestic flights have been grounded through this afternoon. the same goes for some other major hubs across the country including boston, atlanta and chicago. delta airlines has canceled 800 flights for today. and like last time, the cancellations are expected to have a ripple effect at airports all across the country. the storm expected to have its biggest impact on boston. residents could see up to a foot and a half of snow and winds up to 35 miles per hour. kids are off from school today and a blizzard warning is in effect until 8:00 tonight. it s so weird. i got for father s day, i got a snow thrower. what s a snow thrower? it s called a shovel. that s called, you know, that s called my son with a
