they fly four hours into that flight and have to return another four. they're already eight hours in and they're back in l.a. where they started. >> they've gone nowhere. >> running around in circles. but first, let's get to the latest on the brutal holiday week weather. you're looking live at the dangerous, icy conditions on the roads in cleveland. it's a pretty rough commute this morning. if you are looking for an excuse not to go to work, i would say you found one. residents digging their way out of that record-shattering snowfall with more than 60 inches in some areas as that intense deep freeze stretches across the country. abc's alex perez is in upstate new york for us this morning. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, paula. some people waking up to bone-chilling temperatures. that have like 30 below zero. we can't move too much. we're standing on ice. take a look around me. on lake erie the waves turned into a mound of ice. it's completely frozen solid. >> reporter: overnight, millions of americans from the midwest to the northeast getting slammed by a dangerous winter mix of snow, ice and blistering wind chills. >> i have to bear the cold. >> it's really cold. >> might be too cold for us. >> reporter: treacherous travel for millions returning home after the holiday weekend. lake-effect snow spreading from cleveland to upstate new york. in erie, pennsylvania, a snow emergency that brought record-breaking snowfall of 60 1/2 inches since christmas eve, forcing restrictions on i-86 and parts of i-90. >> a lot of snow, just keeps coming. >> reporter: the blizzard -like conditions leaving parked cars completely covered. >> it's a little ridiculous. >> reporter: in missouri five dead and 125 injured in car accidents during the christmas weekend. the slippery roads forcing cars to slide off the interstate. flipping on their sides. some turning all the way over. in buffalo, new york, residents digging themselves out. >> this is something else. i haven't seen this in a long time. >> reporter: and it's not over yet. more arctic cold, more lake-effect snow headed for these areas affected already. it's going to be a tough few days for all those people trying to survive this, paula? >> alex, i got to admit you look pretty miserable. stay warm. please, all right? the weather is brutal heading into the new year. for more, let's check in with our senior meteorologist, rob marciano. rob, good morning. >> mind over matter may not work when it's that cold. snow bands coming off lake erie. north and east of syracuse the national weather service says 14 feet has fallen there and this season alone, over 50 inches in the last couple of days. over 20 states under wind chill advisories. pink areas wind chill warnings. that's dangerous cold coming. check this out. in chicago this morning, minus 13 is what it feels like. nearly minus 20 in minneapolis. near freezing air around the atlanta area with precip there. then tomorrow morning below 13 in bimington and 14 below in boston, minus 2 in new york city 5 in philly and 6 in d.c. that is brutal stuff. layer up, bundle up and deal with it. mind over matter if it helps. dan? >> use it as a rationale for couch time. thank you. back to you soon. now to that midair security breach and unauthorized passenger getting on a flight to tokyo without a ticket. the plane returning to los angeles after four hours while while fellow passenger chrissy teigen live tweeted the whole thing. matt gutman in l.a. with the latest. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. not only did that passenger board the wrong plane but apparently was on the wrong airline as well. authorities are investigating how this happened, and whether there was any threat. right now it appears there was no threat. only a massive inconvenience to all those passengers on board. overnight after that u-turn more than 4 hours into an 11-hour flight, the a and a plane parked in a secure location at the l.a.x. airport. all the passengers were deplaned and bused to the terminal and all because, says the airline, an unauthorized person somehow made it on board. this flight map shows the route of the al nippon airline of the plane as it touched down. according to the airline the cabin crew became aware one of the passengers boarded the incorrect flight and notified the pilot. as part of airline security procedure the pilot decided to return to the originating airport where the passenger was disembarked. on board chrissy teigen and her husband, john legend. the model live tweeting her experience. four hours into an 11-hour flight and we are turning around because we have a passenger who isn't supposed to be on this plane. why, why, do we all have to go back, i do not know. like many of the passengers teigen's mood seemed to sour as the flight made a sharp turn over the pacific heading straight back to los angeles. >> thank you so much for taking me on this awesome vacation, babe. >> welcome to los angeles. >> reporter: she wrote they keep saying the person has a united ticket. we're on ana. why do we get punished for one person's mistake? why not land in tokyo and send the other person back? the airline said it's researching the situation to figure out how this happened. ana adding they would like to apologize, saying we take great pride providing exemplary customer service, and on this flight, we failed to do so. that tweet storm by chrissy teigen sent this story viral overnight. security personnel questioned the passenger. the passenger sitting next to the person in the wrong seat. it is still unclear whether that person will face any criminal action in addition to the embarrassment of having caused such a travel haaeadache to so many, dan. >> it's amazing the questions chrissy were asking were completely legitimate, the ones everybody wants to know. let me ask you this, the passenger and i know we're waiting to learn more, had to go through several layers of security in order to get on that plane, right? >> so you can go through security at the airport and make sure you have a ticket. apparently the person had a ticket. you would think at the gate someone would have been able to verify whether he was going on to the right airplane. apparently that didn't happen, dan. >> so many questions remain to be answered. matt gutman, thank you. paula, over to you. thank you, dan. we want to move to politics and the latest on president trump who is in florida saying he's back at work. the president making himself heard taking a swipe at the fbi and russia investigation. abc's kenneth mote season in west palm beach for us this morning. good morning to you, kenneth. >> reporter: good morning, paula. no public events scheduled for president trump today. we know he's been consistent about two things on his south florida vacation, golfing and tweeting. president trump spotted through the trees wearing that signature red hat. this is on his trump international golf course. back hitting the links and back on twitter with a new year's predictions. all signs business is looking really good for next year only to be helped further by tax cut bill. will be a great year for companies and jobs. stock market is poised for another year of success. the president also responding to a fox news report about the now infamous dossier alleging links between the trump campaign and russia. the president tweeted tuesday, wow, dossier is bogus. clinton campaign dnc funded dossier. dossier bogus adding fbi cannot after all this time verify claims in dossier of russia trump collusion. fbi tainted. the most salacious parts of the dossier have not been corroborated. it's unclear what role, if any, it has played in the fbi's broader investigation into russia election meddling. the president continues his working vacation in florida a state he's visited more than any other president. 12 trips. at least 40 days spent at his luxurious mar-a-lago resort, and at least 60 days at one of his golf clubs. by the time the president leaves florida to return to washington next week he will have spent more than 100 days at his properties, including overnight stays and shorter visits. that 100 days, nearly a third of his presidency, paula. >> all right, kenneth. the president, of course, maintaining he is conducting a lot of business though while he is at mar-a-lago. thank you, kenneth. let's send things to you, dan. >> let's bring in matt dowd. good morning to you. matt, a two-part question for you. this has to do with the president's tweeting. do you believe the president and republicans are trying to politicize the russia probe and if you believe that, do you think they're succeeding? >> well, it looks like they're trying to fire bob mueller or the fbi investigating this by proxy. they're trying to do it by proxy, by undermining it. i think it's really problematic. as you know, we walready have tribalism that has seeped into every institution in our country, with two exceptions, the military and the fbi. now we see the fbi being politicized and special prosecutor being politicized. in order to get a political gain. you would think they would be trying to increase the credibility of the last two institutions that we trust. but no, it's becoming as i say, vested in tribalism. >> do you think the president and the republicans, if they are in fact trying to mire the thing down have reached the point, if mueller brings charges that people will disregard it? >> well, that's a big worry. i think the reaction we need to look at -- i think the american public will trust whatever the fbi and special prosecutor does. i think they will trust that, so the american public will trust it, but the question is will the american leaders who seem to be partners in this with donald trump, and undermining it, will they respond to it if bob mueller brings charges? that's a question we don't know the answer to. >> matthew dowd, we appreciate your analysis. thank you for joining us on a wednesday morning. paula, over to you. thank you very much. we want to move to the unprecedented security for the new year's eve ball drop. nypd on high alert after recent deadly terrorist attacks including the mass shooting in las vegas. abc's gio benitez has the very latest for us this morning. good morning to you, gio. >> reporter: hey, paula. good morning. plan you know it. on new year's eve, this is going to be people and packed with police, you know, they learned so much from this year's attacks, and that's why they are pulling out all the stops. the countdown on for new year's eve celebrations. security officials are on high alert. in new york -- >> three, two, one. >> reporter: -- expect the most security ever with new garage closures, streets blocked off, concrete barricades, armed and plainclothes officers amongst the crowd plus several additional checkpoints before entering times square. banned from this year's ball drop are backpacks, large bags and umbrellas. the strict rules and heightened law enforcement presence come after two terrorist attacks in new york city just in the past two months. >> people should expect to see an increase in security this new year's because of the ongoing threat we've seen from ice. over the past few years they sought to encourage followers to carry out low level attacks whenever they can, particularly targeting people where they gather in crowds. >> reporter: a recent joint assessment by fbi, nypd and the new york port authority said they remain concerned about international terrorists and domestic extremists potentially targeting the celebration in times square where more than 1 million people are expected to gather to ring in 2018. but also along the las vegas strip. law enforcement increasing security following the shooting in october that killed 58 and injured hundreds. >> they are going to be concerned about any place where he is the crowds gathering, or there's a certain vulnerability to those types of targets. >> reporter: there's one thing these police want you to bring to any of these events, and that's your patience. some things feel inconvenient and they will be but it's for your own safety. they want to make sure they can prevent any scenario. paula and dan? >> it's a good reminder that all of this is for our own safety. gio, thank you. i took my daughter to times square last week, and i want to say that the police, the nypd have done such a great job. setting up concrete barriers. i felt so safe walking around times square. as always we have to be vigilant. >> patience and vigilance. absolutely, absolutely. g gio, thank you. we'll turn to the four teenagers facing murder charges after throwing a sandbag off a highway killing a man below. we have that story. abc's erielle reshef is here with that story. >> reporter: good morning to you. a young man is dead and four teens charged with murder. police say they spotted the boys running from the scene. this morning five families are shattered. a deadly case of mischief on this major ohio interstate, now turning into murder charges against four teens. >> 911, what's your emergency?

>> really just a phone call. this is a unique case. somebody pretending to be a cop, has on tactical gear. is in that church walking around just like they are in a mall, very leisurely. came upon her and killed her. it's going to be solved looking at the gate as the person walks and who can identify them. this is not that difficult, but someone is not coming forward. >> for the sake of her family we hope this murder gets solved. brad garrett, thank you. dan?
