the kids claiming she's trying to keep things he left for them. and super bowl xlix the most watched show in american television history with more than 160 viewers. the weather forces the patriots to put their victory parade on hold today, february 3rd, 2014. good morning, everyone, welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. you made it! i was worried about you. >> a lot of the airports had troubles. we snuck in, which was great. yesterday at this time we were all talking about that controversial part on the part of the seahawks at the end of the game. this morning we're talking about another controversial call. savannah has come to work what she has called the worst call she's ever had. thank you for that. >> you're welcome, i know. >> you've had it for a couple of days. >> i have. >> let's spare everybody about the netty pot and all that. >> anyway, we'll get right to the today's top story. millions of drivers facing another dangerous commute this morning. a blast of brutal cold adds misery from monday's powerful storm. al, dare we say it, another storm on the way really? >> depending which model we look at not good, but everybody is in consensus about this arctic air. we're talking about this arctic express, another blast. jetstream dips way down to the south and so that's allowing this cold air to come in. by the time we get to late tomorrow into thursday, look at these temperatures. chicago 1. that's 17 degrees below normal. indianapolis at 9. and then by friday it moves to the east. it will be zero in syracuse, that's 14 degrees below normal. atlantic city 12, new york city 5. boston, 1 degree. 20 degrees below normal. then we've got this clipper coming in tuesday into early wednesday. it's a fast-moving storm system. light amounts of snow, bitter air, bitterly cold air. by wednesday afternoon spreading more light snow into the northeast, including boston. and then we get this second system developing and this is what we're a little concerned about. the models diverge. the american model keeps this thing offshore and no big problems. the european model keeps it closer to shore and that brings more snow. is that going to be the case? well, right now it looks like we have been seeing much better results from the american model so we're keeping fingers crossed. as you can see, fairly light. but more snow for our friends in boston where they do not need it. they are encased in snow and ice and that's where miguel almaguer is right now. miguel, good morning. >> reporter: hey, al, good morning. the snow has finally stopped falling here in boston but that doesn't mean it's gone anywhere. this pile in downtown is more than 12 feet high. the roads are a mess. this is the reason why school has been cancelled again today in this area. now we know it all has to be cleaned up, and it's also frigidly cold. in boston earlier this morning, it felt like negative 13. this morning, new england wakes up buried in snow. but it's the arctic blast across the northeast many will feel in their bones. the deep dive in temperature comes after blinding blizzard-like conditions. >> i'm tired of the snow. >> reporter: it's hammer down for 14 hours straight in boston, record three feet of snow in seven days. the mayor declared an emergency. buses were stuck, roadways were dangerous. even the super bowl parade was pushed back to wednesday. >> we have an entire city to get up and running. >> reporter: not just cities crippled, airports hit hard too. more than 6700 flights cancelled, many stuck with nowhere to go. >> they call this an act of god or something, so the airlines won't compensate you for hotel rooms. >> reporter: with winds whipping millas fuera de boston. tormentas mortales, una mujer no up to 50 miles an hour o vio algo peligroso, y esta es la boston, the storm turned deadly. visión que puede tener en un a woman hit by a snow plow after auto, y dos mueren en la the driver failed to see her. whiteouts led to wipeouts

no termina el frío y la today roads were frozen over, nieve. cars still buried deep. for now the snow may have stopped, but the deep freeze is se supone que seguirá frígido, la nieve hace que se just settling in. with that cold breeze blowing in from the bay at boston, the storm may have passed but the dangerously cold weather certainly has not. the storm claimed at least 15 lives. al, back to you. haga peligroso. nks so much here in the city. quizá vamos a estar con un clima >> miguel almaguer in miguel, thanks so much. here in the city we take a que se siente, que causó al menos quince

comes in wednesday night, thursday night on into friday. >> as we mentioned, the weather, the storm has forced the new england patriots to delay their super bowl parade. that happens tomorrow. across the country, talk about the game still centers on that final call by the seattle seahawks. nbc's ron mott is at the patriots home field, gillette stadium. ron, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning to you. tom brady and bill belichick have now won four super bowls, but keep in mind it was ten years ago when they won that last one. as you can imagine, fans have a lot of pent-up excitement. they're ready to unleash at this parade tomorrow, no matter how cold it is. they're home, champions again. tom brady and the new england patriots hauling the nfl's most sought-after parting gift, the lombardi trophy. across the country in seattle, seahawk fans, known as the twelves twelves, clock to their team, ever supportive after the call. >> pass is intercepted at the goal line! >> reporter: coach pete carroll's decision to pass at the goal line, a turnover ending the game. >> if i live to be 200, i'll never see anything as dumb in my life. listen, sometimes there's just no explanation for just being dumb. >> reporter: quarterback russell wilson, who threw the interception, took to twitter. at 26 years old he writes i won't allow one play or one moment define my career. i will keep evolve, #motivation. but for as much as the super bowl will be remembered for one play, deflategate still looms. >> ted wells is involved in the investigation and said it will take several more weeks. if there's a finding there was any tampering, some people will say this does apply a minimum to what the patriots accomplished this season. >> i haven't had much thought into that. we've just been focusing on our game and i'm sure all that will take care of itself. >> reporter: with six super bowl appearances as a quarterback-coach tandem, bill belichick and tom brady are the most successful combo the nfl has ever seen. >> tom is the guy that fights to the end and competes to the end. there's no player that i respect more. >> reporter: now, also on monday there was some developments in the nfl concussion lawsuit. the federal judge hearing that case says she wants to see the bool pool of players eligible to increase. she also wants the nfl to raise the ceiling from $765 million up to a billion dollars. >> ron mott up in foxborough, ron, thank you very much. an alarming outbreak of measles is still spreading. as it grows, so does the debate over childhood vaccinations. haley jackson is following all of it. >> reporter: good morning. this morning we're keeping an eye on a couple of suspected measles cases in nevada which would be the 15th state seeing the virus if those are confirmed. the outbreak making national headlines, now a hot topic for the nation's top politicians. with medical experts overwhelmingly in agreement, vaccines are safe. democrats and republicans are sparking a debate that's become as much about politics as public health. hillary clinton weighing in late last night tweeting the earth is round, the sky is blue and vaccines work. adding #grandmothersknowbest. new jersey governor chris christie talked about parents who choose not to vaccinate. >> parents has a choice on things as well so that's the balance the government has to decide. >> reporter: after blowbacks christie's office clarified with a disease like measles there's no question kids should be vaccinated. senator rand paul is also making waves about the statements he made. >> states don't own the children, parents own the children and it is an issue of freedom. >> reporter: president obama reignited it in his interview with savannah. >> you should get your kids vaccinated. >> reporter: most doctors say vaccines are the only way to stop the measles outbreak that's grown to 102 people in 14 states, but many parents still have passionate reaction, like marcella piper terry who blames the measles vaccine for triggering serious seizures in her daughter. >> they say vaccines are safe. not for my child. >> reporter: severe reactions are very rare. but for piper terry, there's still a question about vaccinations and it's one she feels attacked for even asking. >> it's discriminating, it's hate speech and it is -- i can't believe i'm living in america. >> reporter: 90% of unvaccinated people will catch measles if they come into contact with the virus. that includes those too young for the shot, like the 14 babies at a california day care being isolated for three weeks because they may have been exposed to that contagious measles. >> thank you very much. chuck todd is moderator of "meet the press" and nbc's political director. chuck, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. >> when we were growing up the talk about vaccines is do they work or not. now we have established science that shows the measles vaccine does work but yet it's become a political issue. why? >> reporter: well, it's a combination of a few things that all have come together. number one, you have the issue of religious freedom. that's always been something that politicians when they talk about things like mandating vaccines, they always take one step back and always want to make an exception for religious freedom. we know religion and politics very important to political figures. the second thing is the rise of social media. you throw in the combination of the scare about ten years ago of the connection or the thought that there might be a connecticut between vaccines and autism, and how that spread like wildfire in social media. politicians, you go back to hillary clinton and barack obama when they ran in '07 and '08, they were talking about it. i think this is the perfect storm of what happens when the credibility of politicians goes badly. you have the spread of misinformation so easily on the internet. now we get to a situation like this where politicians are essentially afraid to defend anybody so they are afraid to say thig. >> it becomes a hot potato. "the new york times" puts it this way in an article this morning. the vaccination controversy is a twist on an old problem for the republican party, how to approach matters that have been largely settled among scientists but are not widely accepted by conservatives. even as i read that, chuck, let's make it clear, this does not break down neatly between the right and the left. there are pockets of liberal affluent america where parents don't want their kids vaccinated. >> reporter: no, that's right. i think the pockets in california, some of this is more, i think, of a liberal point of view. but still i think what this goes down to is we've been politicizing science now, i feel like for the last decade in a lot of ways. whether it's climate change. look at hillary clinton's comment. that can come across a little condescending and a part of the problem for politicians is maybe because it's so wide for them in the public they ought to stay out of this debate. if you're a political leader and you care about this issue, you ought to step back and push forward medical experts on this because at the end of the day i think the more politicians weigh in, the more this ends up splitting along political lines and that's going to solve nothing. >> chuck todd, good point. thank you very much. some news out of the middle east. >> breaking news out of egypt this morning where tensions are high after two bombs were founding at cairo's airport. shortly after that a bomb exploded in downtown cairo damaging buildings and blowing out windows. no one was injured. a fourth bomb went off in egypt's second city of alexandria killing a man. egypt has been ripped by turmoil since the military topped mohamed morsi in 2013. closer to home, president obama unveiling a record $4 trillion budget on monday aimed at helping the poor and middle class to pay for that. it includes overall tax increases of $2 trillion that target corporations and the wealthy. president obama says the budget is practical, not partisan, but republicans say the plan is just more taxes and spending. new photographs surfaced on monday of retired cuban leader fidel castro. the photos published in a cuban newspaper show the 88-year-old at his home. castro has not been seen in public in about a year, raising speculation about his health. last week castro offered lukewarm support over an agreement to restore diplomatic ties with the u.s. this winter's flu vaccine has been far less effective than doctors had hoped and now some members of congress want to know why. the house oversight subcommittee is holding a hearing today. lawmakers wanting to know how much progress is being made in efforts to develop a universal flu vaccine. when you're the boss, everyone wants your ear, including a grumpy groundhog. apparently wasn't thrilled about being forced to forecast the weather in wisconsin. take a look. >> he says that -- that he didn't see his shadow. >> that was not a love bite. if getting bitten wasn't enough, it turns out he got the prediction wrong. jimmy the groundhog actually predicted six more weeks of winter. the city said only the mayor can translate what jimmy whispered in his ear. >> can we just agree to leave these things alone? it never works out well. >> al says they see their shadow on the tv lights. >> come on, in any event. >> you're always our groundhog. we listen to you. and i mean that in the best possible way. >> you know i meant that in love. >> i'm going back to my burrow now. >> tell us about the clipper, al. >> that's right, that's a big clipper. as we look right now, we've got some wet weather making its way into the pacific northwest. we're going to look at that in more detail in the next half hour. plenty of sunshine out west, some showers down in southern texas and some light snow moving across the western plains. that's what's going on. we'll get to your local forecast coming up in the next seconds. conds. bring in your verizon or at&t bill turn in your old phone and we'll cut your rate plan in half. visit us online or visit a sprint store today. good morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. spare the air, temperatures will be spectacular for today. take a look at this sunrise all across the board, it took my breath away. 71 degrees in the tri valley 70 in the north bay. good news is you can enjoy these beautiful temperatures for another couple days before the big changes move in. temperature also drop like a rock and ample rainfall starting on thursday areas to the north of the golden gate bridge in san francisco for us here in the south bay, rain moves in friday. and that's iryour latest weather. whitney houston's daughter is still in the hospital this morning, her family keeping their hopes up for recovery. gabe has more for us this morning. >> reporter: good morning. relatives say bobbi kristina brown is fighting for her life. there has been some very slight improvement but any recovery won't be easy. this is believed to be the last video of bobbi chriskristina brown with her husband before she was found face down in her bathtub. >> how's she doing?
