to cleveland to report on what was going on. you couldn t get out of atlanta. it s so frustrating. it s not always what s going on where you re coming from but at a hub like atlanta or chicago, or even cleveland for that matter, it can be what s going on in other parts of the country. the storm so massive affecting tens of millions of people and people trying to travel by car or plane having certainly issues. here it is on the satellite picture. it s monster storm, the actual low itself is up toward quebec. that was good news for the folks in the east coast because they stay in the warm side of this thing. all of this cold air is really driving in behind that. so, that is going to be certainly one of the factors as we go on through the next day or two. it s not so much how much snow will pile up. it will pile up in spots but the scold going to be the larger issue. right now with the wind chill itit itty it feels like 20 below in minneapolis. it feel like 3 right now outside in atlant
new england and not a ton of snow behind this even when you see things change over, which they will this afternoon. but the moisture for the most part will be gone. accumulations in the northeast i believe will be minimal with this. but look at this, snow s getting all the way down to parts of the south. atlanta, quite a bit of flurries yesterday and up through nashville, seeing some snow, birmingham, alabama, seeing snow, and it will remain cold enough for snow across the deep south today, but we don t expect any sort of accumulation. with do expect to see accumulation here. from chicago back to cleveland, this area could see 1 to 2 feet of snow in the favored areas. now that we re starting to see the cold air roll in and getting into the typical lake effect snow showers and some of the snow is going to be obviously heavy at times. not only for today, but tonight and tomorrow and ongoing. far as what we re looking at for temperatures, it s 43 right now in new york. you re not even bel
potentially, i think, 1 to 2 feet of snow in this area. especially in the favored location. slightly higher terrain just off the lake. what do we see in other spots? now, you get away from the snow belt near the great lakes. and you get a foot of snow in marquette. that ll set a record. detroit, 6.3 inches, that ll set a record, did yesterday. lansing, michigan, indianapolis, and bowling green, kentucky also setting a record as far as snowfall goes. and there s the snow driving down to the south. temperatures today in atlanta, i don t think they re going to get out of the teens. as a matter of fact, let s check in on what current temperature is right now. i don t think it ll get above freezing. right now it s 21 degrees. with the windchill, it s feeling more like single numbers. how do you like those ice cream cones? with the exception of seattle where they re getting a tremendous amount of rain, they ve got flooding issues along the pacific northwest. it doesn t get to the i-95
what do we do as far as snowfall totals in some of the areas back across the midwest? well, believe it or not these are records. detroit, 6 inches, the midwest away from the snow belt doesn t do a whole lot of snow. so when you talk about 17 inches in minneapolis, that s a huge deal. so that one s going to go down at least as honorable mention in the record books. here it is of the cold air driving down to the south. plenty of snow driving down to the south, as well. flurries flying last night and this morning in atlanta. that ll get the kids going crazy for sure. nashville, substantial stuff, up through knoxville, as well. and not a whole lot of moisture. but biggest amounts of moisture are fed by the great lakes, huron, erie, michigan, seeing a little bit of snow. and winter storm warnings up for cleveland right now. winds gusting at 40 miles an hour. and if it s snowing, you could see 1 to 2 feet of snow in that area.
to be held to upstate new york, maybe through pennsylvania and the great lakes. it feels like 1 right now in nashville. give you an idea of how cold, how bitterly cold it is. and that is driving all the way down to the florida panhandle. highs today will be at 43 in new york and then temperatures will begin to drop 37 degrees in d.c. the big story really, guys, continues to be the threat for travel. try to get to cleveland yesterday, couldn t do it, new york metros, philly, d.c., detroit, charlotte, atlanta, and cleveland are going to be under the gun today for major travel headaches. back to you guys in new york. you got lucky, joe, because you flew in from washington, d.c. it was raining like crazy, but we were able to get out. you, of course, weren t even able to fly. so you end up in the studio instead of the cold. it s not so bad. you poor thing. you could have been stuck out in cleveland snow, but instead you re in warm atlanta. at least inside, not outside.
