Streets become very narrow under these conditions. And whether you stay or out, it can be very treacherous. This morning, history is blanketing boston. Millions wake up to over six feet of snow falling in the city since mid january. Making the past 30 days the snowiest month in history. No City Administration has ever dealt with this much snow in a very short period of time. The region bearing the brunt of the third snowstorm in just three weeks, sending them into a statewide emergency and closing schools again. If ive learned one thing over the course of the past two weeks, its Mother Nature makes the rules. So much snow in fact the Massachusetts Governor says you could fill up the patriots home stadium 90 times over with the snow theyve already removed. On the road vehicles bury edied, as transportation is at a near standstill. This commuter train struck after snow piles on the tracks. They were sending a rescue train to try to push it back into the quincy station, and that got stuck, also. The massive snowfall weighing down roofs, with collapses inevitable. He started yelling, get off, get off. South of boston construction workers say they had mere seconds to get out before the flattened building caved in behind them. The weight of the snow on the buildings is getting critical. The city working around the clock, plows trying to transfer snow to snow farms, vacant parking lots that house massive melting machines. Rail service stopped yesterday with an Emergency Declaration comes in federal and state resources, which are critical for municipalities. Those resources take care of all of these roads. But chris, let me tell you something, these folks are still waking up and shoveling their way out. Because you got to do this folks, here in boston if you dont, if you dont clear your sidewalks, you could be cited, more than 1500 people have been cited in the past week. All right. Rosa like that you had the overhand grip on the shovel take from the top and bend the knees, bend the knees. Thank you for the reporting. Shoveling is the least of the problem, as we know with the snow comes the ice and the morning commute people have get to work. There was a 15vehicle pileup just outside new york city the cause . Freezing rain most likely. Is even worse weather on the way . Meteorologist chad myers has the forecast. Its hard to understand the concept of worse when weve had this much snow. But i know that comes down to mixed conditions. What do we see . And its also piling on. Weve had so much snow and then you get six more inches where do you put it. Boston right now, if you stop snowing for the rest of the season you are now the ninth snowiest winter ever. I have bad news the snow isnt stopping. The cold air isnt stopping. Today its sunny but another storm comes in later in the day tomorrow it could be another coastal storm as the low runs up the east coast. This isnt a major snow machine, but four to six on the european model and six to eight on the american model. There could be more on the cape. It depends on where the low tracks, not much for new york city a couple of inches as best. Today, new york and boston the best day of the week. And the temperatures by the weekend get ugly 2 degrees, not a wind chill, 2 in new york city. Sunday in boston 1. Try to stay warm. Alisyn . Yikes, chad thanks so much. So how is boston handling all of this . Joining us on phone is peter judge, with the mats mass Emergency Management agency. Peter, wow. Wow is right, alisyn. I mean how much do you have accumulated on the ground right now, do you know . There are areas that outside of boston that have well over seven feet of accumulated snow right now and as we just heard, theres plenty more in the pipeline coming our way. Your roadways are blocked, one of the big problems. Well fortunately the major highways are in pretty good shape. The state roads, where you can literally push the snow off the road to the side. The issues are the residential streets, particularly in the urban areas. Where as weve seen theres nowhere for the snow to go. Thats our major attack if you will as we do our outreach to other states for additional equipment. Literally, just to get the snow off the streets. And we understand that youre moving thousands of truckloads snoef every night, where are you moving it to . Well as youve heard, snow farms, which is just sort of a fancy name for vacant lots ends of airports things like that yesterday in fact we sort of made another move a number of communities about ten or so have received waivers from the Environmental Protection agency. And for emergency purposes theyre allowed now to dump some of the snow into the harbor into the ocean, into major rivers. And the problem with that i mean that would seem to make sense, water on water. Why is that an environmental problem . Well unfortunately, weve been treating the road so including the snow, you have chemical chemicals, you have the salt. Theres other things in that. So theres limits you can do and for how long. We understand the great state of new york has sent a jet engine machine to help you up there. What can that do . Well thats basically would help with our rail transport. Weve had all sorts of problems with freezing up on the third rail just major problems with anything on tracks. So this apparently not only blows the snow away. But i guess heats it up enough that it has a longerlasting effect and i know city of new york had helped us out over the past weekend. And i think were going to continue to need the help. Are you getting reports of roofs collapsing . Yes, we had a handful yesterday. Smaller industrialtype of storage units. Those types of things. But its something that we continue to push out to people the fact that its important to get as much weight off that roof. Particularry with the incoming snow. Weve been fortunate that the snow in all three storms has been more on the light and fluffy side, instead of the wet stuff. If the next storm comes in with the wet stuff. Well see a rash of roof collapses, a couple of years ago we had 200 or 300 within a week. When are kids going to get back to school . Its going to be a while. The governor is talking about waivers and how to get around this. We may lose an april vacation. The kids might go to school on saturday. Peter judge, best of luck this week as you look down the barrel of another storm. Thanks so much for joining us on new day. Day. New information about a different crisis. Death and destruction in eastern ukraine. Now is it at a crisis point there is no end in sight. Theres word about who may or may not be attending the fournation peace talks in minsk. Lets get to nick walsh live in eastern ukraine. What do we know . Chris, european diplomat with knowledge of the talks, says at this early stage, things could still change it looks like key rebel leaders, namely the donetsk rebel leaders do not look like theyre going to minsk. They were hopefully going to be involved in one meeting between the rebels and ukrainians and the osc monitors. And many hoped they would be on the sidelines of the big normandy format between the french germans, russians and ukrainians. If theyre not there, it would lessen how serious theyre taking the talks. Russia is stressing they want to have a diplomatic solution here. But weve just been near a town on the separatist side, intense shelling targeting that city. And a sense that the encirclement that the separatists claim is happening is imminent or has been completed and there are certainly a lot of people concerned now about what happened to the ukrainian troops still inside the town. Nick paton walsh, thanks for the update. After meeting with germans chancellor is the president closer or farther away from sending arms to ukraine. Whats the answer ailsen . The risks of arming ukraine are known. The benefits are less clear. So the president says hes still in the process of making the decision. Consulting with allies. He says we must keep tieing for diplomacy, and that arms would be an option only if that fails. German chancellor Angela Merkel even though she disagrees with the idea in a show of unity says lets give the russians one more chance at diplomacy, if that doesnt work we have to look for other options. Thats a big difference from what she said a few days ago in strong opposition to arming ukraine. Even if she still feels that way. Both sides saying no matter what happens, the unity between u. S. And germany will remain strong. And on the other hand you have republican lawmakers, senator Lindsay Graham calling the president s stance continued weakness in the face of aggression. You have some within the administration in the state department and the pentagon well as well as the ukraines themselves believes now is the time to arm them because ukrainians are being killed and it would give them a stronger voice at the diplomatic table. Michaela . We appreciate the update. We have breaking news now Major Development for you overnight in the case of murdered university of virginia student Hannah Graham. Reports that prosecutors and police are going to announce charges in the case this morning. We turn to Jeanne Casarez for more. An impromptu press conference with the county police and the county prosecutor they are the lead agency for Hannah Graham so the question is are there now murder charges . For Jesse Matthew. The man at the center of Hannah Graham murder case has been under the microscope of police for the pest several months 32yearold Jesse Matthew crossed authorities radar in september when the university of virginia student went missing. Just before dawn on september 13th when graham was spotted on surveillance cameras at a mall near campus. Matthew seen in the footage. The Surveillance Video and other accounts led authorities to identify matthew as the suspect in her disappearance. On september 24th he was taken into custody on charges of abduction with the intent to defile after police picked him newspaper againgalveston, texas and days later, he had remains were found. Now sources are telling cnn affiliates wvir and wtvr that matthews charges have been upgraded to firstdegree murder. Meanwhile, authorities investigating if he could be connected to a string of unsolved killings and disappearances in the area. He is also charged with sexually assaulting a woman in virginia in 2005. He has pleaded not guilty in that case. Scheduled for trial in march. Now cnn cannot confirm these reports. Defendant Jesse Matthew has a very noted defense lawyer in the area james campbells, who use to be the elected District Attorney there in the area. And chris, you know a lot of people are going to say this is a simple case. So simple. Not so simple because Hannah Graham was found with only her remainsth and you know chris, how difficult that is for a cause of death. When you just have skeletal remains the one thing a jury needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, that Jesse Matthew murdered Hannah Graham so this could be a fight for prosecutors. And firstdegree will impose on the prosecution the demands that they show he had a plan there was thinking and preparation of this. Very high bar, youre right, jean thank you for the reporting, well stay on it. In syria, new information, president Bashar Al Assad is breaking his silence. Telling the bbc he will not talk to u. S. Officials about the air strikes in his country against isis and will not join the International Coalition against the terror group. Asaid says other countries are giving him information about what the coalition is doing. Thats through third party, more than one party. Iraq and other countries, sometimes they convey message, general message, but theres nothing tactical. Assad also denies that his forces dropped barrel bombs in rebel strongholds that killed thousands of civilians. Today president obama could ask congress to formally authorize military force against isis. This proposal calls for a threeyear mission. It restricts u. S. Combat troops on the ground that issue could stir up a big debate. Democrats are worried about another ground war in the middle east. Republicans meanwhile, dont want to rule out boots on the ground if theyre needed. Breaking overnight, a u. S.

And european leaders worry about a domino effect. Russia trying to reabsorb former soviet state. Will diplomacy work and if not, shoulded u. S. Arm ukraine . If they dont and are waiting, how long can ukraines military hold out . Well get perspective on this from general george julwen the former supreme allied commander of nato. He joins us now. And general to remind people you know what situations like this are about from your time in bosnia. Putin and milosevic hasnt proven himself to be that yet. But the dynamic similar so your perspective very needed. The consideration here time and sbejss diplomacy preferred. Assuming you have the time for it and good faith intentions do you believe that putin wants to negotiate, wants a diplomatic solution here . Im not sure. I think what we have to do is put the total pressure on him. Diplomatic, political, military and economic. And hopefully the talks with the germans and the french will bear results today. But i think what we need to do is demonstrate political will as well as military presence. And i think nato is ratcheting up to do that. I think that will have an impact on putin. You make a very trgs point. Which is its not just what you do. Its how you do it. If you say youre going to arm them you have to arm them the right way. You know were hearing from the white house, were going to give them weapons, but weapons to depend themselves but not to allow them to beat russia militarily. What does that even mean . That is that is not in my opinion, a good strategy. I think what we need to be able to do is not only allow them to defend themselves but take back the territory that they lost. Now remember the russians have brought in not just troops but they have brought in sophisticated weapons. Air defense weapons, very good in terms of tanks and armored vehicles. And you have to weigh all that when you say, what could the alliance do . What could the United States do . First of all, chris, i think deterrence and containment is what we need to look at not just a warfighting strategy but to ratchet up the deterrent effect. Weve done that before with russia when they were the soviet union, and i think they will respond to that pressure. For some context for people we were in ukraine this summer, even ukraine had just started. It was called a Police Action would you hear shelling a lot of open areas were getting hit. But now the place lookses just like areas that you were under command of. Areas have been completely destroyed, thousands of people are dying. The point about the deterrent effect. Nato are putting their outposts out, numbers are getting thrown around. What worked in bosnia in terms of sending a message, that if this line is crossed bad things will come. What is the ingredients t
