Several rescues were reported further south in atlantic city, but the coastline that was battered 4. 5 years ago by super storm sandy fared far better in this noreaster than expected. Well, this beach in sea bright was completely replenished after Hurricane Sandy and there were concerns to whether it would hold up. It appears virtually unscathed. But some other communities along the jersey shore they, did experience some erosion from this storm. Reporter and im Jericka Duncan in the pocono mountains in pennsylvania, where more than 22 inches of snow fell. Thats more snow than some parts got than all of the entire season last year. After one of the shortest ski seasons last year, todays monster storm was just what pocono ski resorts were hoping for. So this storm didnt disappoint. No, not at all.

Eric fisher is chief meteorologist at our cbs station in boston, wbz. Eric. Reporter anthony, good evening. Were seeing some impressive snow totals from this storm, especially for areas just north and west that 95 corridor. Thats where we thought heaviest band would set up, 30inch totals. We could be seeing some three feet amounts before things wind down. Still snowing heavily in parts of new york state and pennsylvania. Heavily snowfall continuing for new york state and into parts of northern new england. Well also be watching areas of snow shower lingering well into the day tomorrow. Not inconceivable that new york towns could approach 40 inches of snow before things wind down. Behind us work plenty of cold. It will be a slow melt. And heres the problem we had all that warmth in february, and washington, d. C. , warmest february, warmest winter on record. When you have a really warm spring, it usually doesnt last. Now behind this storm, look at the lows by tomorrow morning teens and 20s, and all those areas where everything started to grow and bloom. So, anthony, this will be a big issue. We might see a lot of crop loss. We might even see a lot of Cherry Blossom damage in the Nations Capital because of this cold. Mason eric fisher, thanks, eric.

Guccifer replied, done. And later on the same day, please tell me if i can help you anyhow. Earlier this year, u. S.

Mason the marine corps mason the marine corps commandant went before a Senate Committee today and promised change.

Well take action to correct this stain on our marine corps. Reporter marine commandant Robert Neller did not impress senator jeanne shaheen.

Who is being held accountable for doing nothing since 2013 . Who . Which commander . I dont have a good answer for you. Im not going to sit here and duck around this thing. Im not. Im responsible. Im the commandant. I own this. Reporter neller has said he was not aware of these sites until this year when a former marineturnedjournalist, alerted him to marines united, a Facebook Page on which current and former marines shared nude photos of women. This is an ongoing issue. Its not something new. Reporter but erin kirkcuomo who left the corps in 2010 told cbs news female marines were complaining about these sites even then. This is something that has been pervasive and has been going on for over a decade. Reporter kirkcuomo believes it is part of a culture which begins with boot camp, when women recruits are segregated from the men. This behavior is ingrained in marine corps culture simply because as male marines are told from the very beginning of training that females are inferior. Reporter general neller testified that about 500 current and former marines have been identified so far as having shared nude photos of female marines over the internet, and thats just one site. Investigators have found at least 17 more sites containing thousands of photos. Anthony. Mason david martin at the pentagon. Thank you, david. One republican, one democrat, one car.
