sandwich. >> heather: jason brewer in the storm tracker weather center. the snow on the way out right now but a few spots. >> jason: yeah, a few impacts to get through here, the nor easter well south of our coastline. over the ocean. but the pack side, still a little bit of snow from the outer cape down towards nantucket. we officially still have a winter storm warning in affect until 7 a.m. for those areas. so just watching out as that moves away over the next hour or so. radar, provincetown clearing out now and even a little bit of sun breaking out. check out your future cast temperatures, 8 in the morning, upper teens, lower 20s from boston to plymouth. low 30s there around nantucket. and as we go into the day today, able to get back here the freezing mark or a little above in many locations as sunshine returns for many of us. there are those snow totals, that fine line lifted north ward. city, a little bit higher than i forecast. either way the cut off line was very sharp as i told you. up to the north where nothing really to deal with. the coastal flood warning is up. and we're going to be watching that potential for the next, say, several hours into early afternoon. and then things will improve and back with much more on that, our team coverage continues right now. >> gene: this video taken as our crews worked their way to sandwich yesterday. yesterday, the snow no longer falling in sandwich. >> heather: fox 25 jim morelli is live there in sandwich as that town begins to dig out. you can tell that they've been plowing the roads all night on your way down there. >> reporter: yeah, on the way down here, the roads were fine. i think the most interesting thing when we left dedham, the temperature on the car thermometer was 19 degrees. by the time we got down here, it was 30. but i got to tell you a wind chill. hour sustained and then gusts higher than that. probably the amazing thing about that is the fact that there were about 1700 power outages here in sandwich as of about 9:00 last night. and this morning, absolutely none reported. and even though the cape had the blunt of it, only about 81 customers without power now in few other towns. i want to show you this graph here on the reference point on the wind. fell. but i think down here where we're on the beach, it got blown boo the parking lot and everywhere else. i, again, find it hard to believe there are no power outages here given how hard it is blowing right now. roads on the cape itself, seem pretty good. obviously there was light traffic, but we saw many plows cleaning up. it should be a fairly quick recovery. but i got to tell you, very uncomfortable out here. live in sandwich, jim morelli, is in scituate this morning well. but flooding is the concern. >> gene: fox 25 stephanie coueignoux is in scituate. she has more on that this morning. >> reporter: gene, flooding certainly an issue we're going to be tracking over the next few hours. right now, though, continues to be the wind. we were here yesterday morning. and taking a look. metal signs. once again, they are just whipping in the wind, and you can actually see they're coated with ice and snow. this entire area, you can see that it's snowing and it snowed here earlier. that has since stopped. but, again, the wind really an issue. and speaking of flooding, take a look. we were showing you this water here yesterday. now, the flooding has been an issue as of yet, but that is something that town officials are keeping a close eye on. earlier i took a look at their are expecting minor to moderate hills. i also checked power outages and within the last 15 minutes ever source was reporting 622 outages this morning. so something we're going to closely monitor again. coming up in 30 minutes. what other towns are doing to storms. and we'll have another live minutes. in scituate, stephanie coueignoux, fox 25 news. >> heather: as stephanie was mentioning, because of the snow and high winds, there are some power outages this morning. but it's clear that crews have been working overnight. we've been watching the numbers night. at last check, national grid is reporting 22 outages this morning. however, ever source reporting a few more, 398. still, that is way down from more than 4,000 which we tracked last night. >> gene: and this morning, airlines are hard at work trying to recover from the storm. more than 10,000 flights across the country were cancelled over airports in philadelphia and washington, d.c. are still trying to dig out after totally stopping operations yesterday. and in new york, the storm went well into this morning. flames sitting around at jfk and la guardia, unable to move. shiri spear tweeted this out late last night, she got stuck with her plane landing. she had to wait it out on the tarmac. >> heather: a new ban lifted about a few minutes ago at 6:00. the police department telling fox 25 the ban was issued late last night but no cars had be be towed. that didn't stop people from heading out to times square. people were out walking around and having fun with the historic snow there and even blowing snowballs. the blizzard hit the city that never sleeps in totals some areas that were nearly double what was predicted. but very serious situations as this morning, that storm is being blamed for at least 18 deaths in five states. from the carolinas, to new york, tons of people were without power overnight. chris reports from one of the hardest areas, washington, d.c. >> reporter: an epic and slow storm knocked out power for thousands, shut down cities, emptied airports and grounded flights. what's worse, this historic storm has become deadly. killing people from north carolina to new york. >> this is bad and it's getting worse rapidly. >> drivers in several states stranded on the road. trouble. >> this is a historic snowstorm. this is a huge challenge. >> reporter: in pennsylvania, hundreds of cars stranded for 20 hours on the highway. in new jersey, some drivers stuck on the highway for 19 hours. having to decide whether to stay or conserve gas. in new york, the governor imposed a travel ban to parts of the state to encourage people to go inside. >> the situation is getting worse. >> reporter: the city that never sleeps will be a little quieter. all broadway shows cancelled. bridges and tunnels leading into and out of the city are now closed. and enforcing the ban. looking at the blizzard from outer space, you can see just how massive this storm is. and it will continue churning throughout the weekend with more people in its path. in washington, i'm chris welch reporting. >> gene: and take a look at this picture shared by massachusetts state police tweeting this out as a reminder to clear the snow and ice off of your car entirely before you hit the road. this windshield shatter by ice that flew off another car. people in the car were hit with shards of glass and had to be taken to the hospital. >> heather: new this morning, this was the scene after a snowplow hit a man who was out walking his dog during the storm during the height of it in police and other emergency responders all converging on the scene on myrtle lane last night. that man was rushed to the hospital. yarmouth police say fortunately, he only has minor injuries. >> gene: 6:09 this morning, patriots fans taking the opportunity

you? at this ungodly hour outside of the field, at mile high stadium in denver. we are less than nine hours from game time but it is game day. patriots players, the owners, the fans, probably all tucked in their beds, but a that wasn't rally in downtown denver when the patriots owner made an appearance. yes, robert kraft, along with several hundred patriots fans inside the popular downtown bar katie mullins, vince lombardi trophy on hand as they reenacted last year's super bowl celebration. in his element with fans soaking up every word and this crowd loving every minute of it. >> we just came from a team hotel and saw they're really together. there's a great chemistry there. all of you will like this team a great deal. and they have an amazing game plan for tomorrow. [cheers]. >> we love you! >> let's just hope they execute the way they did the last game of the last year. >> reporter: it was really a fun our entire fox 25 crew was there. again, the game a little less than nine hours away, coming up after 7 a.m. your time. we will chronicle, not that we need to, but the process struggles over the years in the playoffs especially here in denver. for now on game day, butch stearns live outside of sports authority field at mile high stadium in denver, back to you gene. >> gene: all right. butch. thank you. boston avoided the storm, we're thankful of that. people did take advantage of it. coming up this morning, the way bostonians turned out to watch the storm slam the rest of the >> heather: plus hundreds of disease. we're talking about a reason a

this video showing poor road during the storm, a car went off the road on route 5 in bourne and in plymouth an suv rolled over there and hit a tree. we're told the people inside the suv were hurt but we don't know the extent of their injuries this morning. >> gene: finally, snow turned dangerous in sand itch with, a truck caught fire last night. no word if anybody was hurt for the driver for that matter this morning. that fire is under investigation. >> heather: in the metrowest area, people making the best of a snowy saturday. in walpole we caught up with folks at raven's nest a local watering home, if you're not familiar with it. they were hanging out there watching the rest of the east coast suffer. >> we're very hardy up there. dc, philly, forget, those guys have no idea what they're doing down there. we're excited. >> heather: telling us, after last jeer, we deserve a ache break. i agree. and the few flakes that came they can't handle. >> this is a fox 25 storm tracker weather alert. >> jason: all right. welcome back, we're tracking the last of our nor'easter finally making its way off shore and leaving us alone here. but some heavy totals and i'll recap a few of those in a little bit, ended up in the cape and islands, more than a foot in a few spots there. but totally different story north ward where some of us didn't get anything at all. what an interesting event. show you here, brighter skies on the way. a dry start to the week. don't forget we still have coastal flooding concerns coming up here with our 11:00 high tide. so the advisories and warnings go through 2:00 today and then things will really improve. take a look. there's the lull now moving east and a few left over snow showers from the southeastern tip of the cape down to nantucket. martha's vineyard beginning to clear out. a light few snow showers left over. some road closures possible here. those northerly winds will continue to gust push the water in, sandwich, to nantucket, moderate risk of that coastal flooding, see minor beach erosion. so some of those roads are going to be treacherous there with feet of water coming up at least briefly. winds are still gusting. we saw jim there live in sandwich. look at these wind gusts, 30, 35 miles per hour. good news is those wind gusts will subside this afternoon. norwood at 19 degrees. so clearing skies and the visibility improving now with the snow on the ground. we'll be in the lower 30s at 2:00 today with sunshine. but, again, with that snow, those temperatures not going to that. manchester. it's 17. we'll see temperatures in the upper teens for the next few hours. and by noon, upper 20s and by 2:00 out there, so a nice recovery after yesterday's plows gusts that we had. there are those winds today. coming down, there's 2:00 today. finally below the 25 mark for the cape and islands. so today's highs in the low to middle 30s. sun is raking out from the west to the east. so very nice there to enjoy some of that bright sunshine here to wrap up the weekend. high temperatures 33 would burn and 34 in natick today. and up in the lower 30s even up parts of southern new hampshire and around manchester. tonight around in the low to mid 20s in the city. it will be a little colder in the out lying areas in the upper teens. clouds come through with a weak disturbance, i don't think any snow with that one. it's too dry. will be in the lower 30s on monday. with a few clouds. tuesday, a new front arrives, warmer, though, with local 40s as the south of west wind takes over. mention a chance of pa shower or two on into early wednesday. a little cooler behind that then we'll watch next weekend for a coastal storm. it looks like it's going to pass well off shore but we'll be watching for any changes to that as we head into next weekend. back to you. >> gene: breaking news, 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck southern alaska. about 160 miles south of anchorage. there are reports of power outages in anchorage, but so far no damage that part of the world. there are concern about tsunamis, the national weather service says it does not expect a tsunami. >> heather: exposed to a potentially deadly disease. neared 300 patients are at risk now, hiv and hepatitis b and c after getting a procedure done at baystate noble hospital in westfield back in 2012 and '13. that's because the instruments that were used apparently weren't properly disinfected about you the hospital said, that anyone was infected. >> i'm extremely confident that patients were at low risk. but now our job is to be certain that there was no patient harm. >> heather: the hospital says they have notified all affected patients and hope to have the result of the testing phase within a few weeks. and big concerns at a local hospital about staff, telling one fox 25, there have not been enough changes in the year since a deadly shooting. now the federal government is weighing in. coming up, what they have to say about safety procedures at the >> gene: plus donald trump is using a controversial, to talk about how loyal his supporters next w. >> heather: time now 6:23. to election 2016. republican front-runner donald trump believe the supporters still stay loyal no matter what he does. told supporters and poll officers, almost nothing could make them change their mind about voting for donald. trump ramped up with this comment as well. >> they say i have the most loyal people. is where i could stand in the middle 6 fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters. that's incredible. >> heather: the debate came as gun violence has taken center stage in the political arena and after several highly publicized national shootings as well. >> gene: meanwhile, jeb bush is spending his money in new hampshire, held a town meeting in new hampshire last night and spoke in nashua where he expressed his fondness for new hampshire voters. even stuck in a subtle jab seemingly aimed at donald trump. >> i love campaigning here. i love interacting with people who are actually concerned about the future of the country. they're not latched onto the big personalities on the stage. >> gene: bush is taking a bit of a break from the campaign trail today. his next event in nevada on tuesday. >> heather: tough events for commuters. new numbers show the mbta system has the most break downs in the according to the national reasons sit database, the t had 219 mechanical failures in 2014. that's four times the national average. the boston business journal , the data did not include any break downs which happened during the february snowstorms of last year. the t stays its workers work very hard to keep the aging fleet up and running. >> gene: and if you plan on taking the t this weekend, be aware of some changes happening on the red line. but not because of the snow. the buses is replacing all trains between kendall and park street station between 5:00 tomorrow morning. the changes happening so crews can work on the long fellow bridge rehabilitation. now, pardon me, 6:25 this morning. the snow is over, about you not without leaving a foot in some areas of the rest of the state. the coverage of the nor'easter we'll check in with the aftermath in sandwich still ahead. >> jason: you bet. the nor'easter finally moving still a left over snowstorm for the cape and islands, but that's about to wrap up too. i'll tell you what else we're wrapping and recap some of the snow totals straight ahead. >> reporter: flooding concerns continue this morning, as high the other major issue (church bell) (bear growls) r(burke) smash and grub. r seen it. covered it. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. >> this is a fox 25 storm tracker weather alert. >> heather: good morning to you. it's almost 6:30. and people here in massachusetts and up and down the east coast this. beautiful no doubt. but they're going to have to dig out as well. this is video from richmond, virginia, where the snow and wind there caused whiteout conditions there for folks yesterday. >> gene: these images from the arlington cemetery, the blizzard has the historic site closed but still a soldier stands guard at the too many of the unknown soldier through all of the nasty weather. 6:30 this wednesday morning, january, 24th, i'm gene lavanchy. good to have you with us. team coverage continues. fox 25 stephanie coueignoux is back in scituate for the second time today where the flooding continues. plus jim morelli in sandwich getting whipped by that wind over there. >> gene: but first let's check in with fox 25's storm tracker weather meteorologist jason brewer. the storm may be moving out but still team coverage right now. >> jason: still feeling the wind, the coastal concerns, there goes the lull, the nor'easter finely passing east of us and left over snow flurries still around nantucket. but even those will be wrapping up over the next 30 minutes to an hour. and then we're finished with all of the snow for the rest of the weekend. and really for most of next week. let's look at temperatures. upper teens 8 in the morning. 20s the cape and islands, even some 30s. let's go up to noontime, upper 20s and lower 30s. by 3:00 in the low to mid 30s with a good dose of sunshine returning for your sunday. so enjoy. a shut off point was right there around the lynn area, 2 inches and areas north and west there, just about nothing but of course those foot totals coming in, if not a little more than a foot for the cape and islands. i'll recap those totals coming up. there are those coastal flooding concerns, the beach erosion, also some overwash over the roads, a typically flood prone areas. watch out road closures possible with the high tide cycle coming up. the back to you. >> heather: plenty to talk about. our team coverage does continue, though, in scituate this morning. the flooding concerns remain for the second day. >> gene: fox 25 stephanie coueignoux is there this morning. she's keeping an eye on things for us. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: and town officials also keeping a very close eye on the water levels. right here behind me, it's still a little bit dark but perhaps you can see the waves lapping at the very base of this sea wall right here. so far it's not too bad. but concerns are going to continue to ramp up. so, again, we're going to be monitoring these conditions very closely. meantime, take a look at this. this is some video that we took in plymouth yesterday. and no flooding issues there yesterday. but, again, that is something they're keeping a very close eye on. in fact, plymouth emergency management telling us that taylor avenue there could see some flooding today. now, they also had 150 snowplows on the roads and driving in, we did see a number of snowplows here as well. clearing the roads, really hoping that by removing that snow, that will make it easier and help minimize those flooding conditions later on today. here in scituate, they are expecting minor to moderate flooding. but that's not the only concern. i don't know coming back here live, if you can see my hood kind of blowing in the wind, the wind gusts for a second day in a row, continuing to be very blustery, very high. that has caused some power outages. we're going to give you the latest numbers in those problem spots coming up in 30 minutes. in scituate, stephanie coueignoux, fox 25 news. >> gene: this morning, parts of coastal new jersey are under water. take a look at this. in the town oflar gate. the street looks like a pond, thanks to high tide blizzard accommodations. some areas are waist deep in water, parts of the town he ises scaped flooding thanks in part in sand dune projects in the wake of super storm sandy. >> heather: right on the water there. washington, d.c. also one of the toughest hit by the nor'easter. nearly two feet of snow measured in the nation's capitol. the national guard called in to helpful you can he sue, it left major problems for emergency crews and others trying to get around on the road. >> gene: fox 25 has local coverage of the local impact of the storm. the cape and islands got the worse of the whole thing. >> heather: yeah, they did. and jim morelli is braving out about a foot of snow fell and the winds are pretty bad out there this morning, jim. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, heather. i think that absolutely the worst of it. i think the only thing that's making it a little bit bearable is the fact that the temperature is 30 degrees. but of course we have a tremendous wind chill. in fact, the real feel 15. and we're certainly feeling that here. now, the flooding here has been none. we called the police earlier. they had no reports of flooding. they're only expecting minor, possibly some moderate flooding. i've been down to this area before. and generally speaking, when it does flood, you will have waves coming all the way up here into the parking lot that we're in. we have a fair amount of snow here. but i think a lot of it has been blown into the neighborhood in back of us. and we seem to be getting a few flurries in right now. power outages, amazingly none last night 1700. none here in sandwich. there are a handful in barnstable and hyannis, but amazingly enough, the power is still on. so we'll be keeping track of it. once the sun comes up, look at how things are, as far as the snow depth. here it doesn't look too bad on the beach. but, again, a foot to 22 inches fell here in sandwich. jim morelli, fox 25 news. >> gene: because of the snow and high winds, there are some power outages where crews are working overnight. we watched those numbers go down over the course of the evening. national grid is only reporting 2 power outages. ever source reporting 398. that's down from more than 4,000 last night. >> heather: a good reminder, as you dig out, you also want to pay attention to your walkway and driveway, you got to make sure you completely clear off your car as well. take a, look at this picture, this is what could happen. mass. state police showing this yesterday, a windshield shattered with ice flying off the people inside this car we're told were hit by shardz of glass and needed medical attention. it's the latest incident we've reported in event weeks. >> gene: and we've been reporting all morning, different areas, different amounts of snow from this storm. these pictures we've gotten from viewers sharing with fox 25. this one shared more than 1,000 times on the fox 25 facebook page. morgan mick sweeney thank you for sharing this picture of your blizzard beach day. we want to see your pictures too. you can tweet them at fox 25 news. don't condone this type of behavior, though. may want to put on a sweater or something. >> heather: i'm not going to do it. imjust saying. >> gene: enjoying themselves out on the beach. >> heather: they're brave. brave folks indeed. local hockey players taken teamwork to a whole new level. against a rival team, their trip home took an unusual turn. the story behind this video coming up gfrjtsz plus public weigh on the new proposal for mbta. a look at public meetings being held. >> jason: more viewer totals in of the snow photos, recap those. and tell you what else to expect as we head through the rest

story in pennsylvania this morning. there, some drivers are just making it home now, after spending nearly 24 hours stranded on the turnpike in a southwestern part of that state. take a look. and right here, hundreds of catholic students in that back up. so they ended up leaving drivers in a special mass to help pass the time. no doubt praying for that traffic to start moving again, gene. >> gene: mbta is giving people a chance to weigh in on fair hikes aed service changes that the agency is considering. public meetings will resume tomorrow. the first is happening at bree middle school in lynn. on tuesday, brockton will play host at west middle school. wednesday session being held at malden high school. and on thursday, the meeting at concord town hall. all of the members of congresses start at 6 p.m. changes being proposed the way to help the t save money and improve efficiency. >> gene: a beloved doctor gunned down in a boston hospital. and a year later, staff tell fox 25 they still feel unsafe at work. now a federal agency getting involved. coming up, the changes osha is recommending when it comes to security at brigham & women's. >> heather: plus a major improvements of their own. out imposters trying to make it >> gene: back here at 6:44. workplace safety an on going some say not enough changes since a beloved doctor was gunned down a year ago. osha is getting involved. fox 25 has a look at changes the federal agency is recommending. >> is not safe. no one is safe. patients are not safe, visitors aren't safe, no one is safe. >> reporter: her opinion is on the 24th years she's been working as a nurse at boston brigham & women's hospital. she says little has changed in the 12 months since tragedy struck their workplace. >> in fact, i leave unsecure. >> reporter: in january 2015, a shooter came into the hospital asking for dr. davidson, and turned the gun on himself. >> they could've been an example of how you should do hospital security. since the shooting of last january, more nurses physically assaulted this year probably than ever. >> reporter: bargaining chair for the massachusetts nurses association brought her concerns to osha. in december, osha received a hazard letter following an inspection. these the brigham does not acknowledges programs in place to address workplace safety. but the letter stated exposure to workplace violence is ongoing. it listed 14 recommendations to decrease that threat. they include ensuring doors locked and card access to equipment work. suggest metal detectors to keep weapons out, called for improved security staffing and better training. >> the day of the shooting, they were announcing a shelter in place. most people had no idea what shelter in placement. >> reporter: brigham and women's hospital declined to speak on camera. quote, the safety of our patients and staff are top priority. we have worked in good faith with the community to address our concerns and address that they're exploiting the anniversary of the death of our beloved colleague in this way. we have and will continue to evolve our safety protocols and be keeping in best practice. >> the tragic loss of mike who is a friend of mine, it could've been much worse. agrees in a the shooting was a tragedy and tragic loss to the hospital, the community, and this doctor's family but believe they only highlighted an issue that existed here for some time. in boston, kerry kavanaugh, fox 25 news. >> heather: some local hockey players are probably extra sore this morning after their game in rhode island. take a look at this video. a local mother tells us, that's her son and the rest of the suffolk university team pushing when their bus got stuck on the side of the road, pushing it out of the snow there. eventually they were able to get going again and they did make it out safely back to boston. glad to hear that. >> this is a fox 25 storm tracker weather alert. >> jason: welcome back, i am just recapping the snow reports, coming from official totals weather watchers across southern new england. check it out. we had more than a foot of snow. east falmouth, 15 inches. 15 inches, nantucket, 11 and a half inches of snow. and then plymouth, about 8 and a half inches, the winter storm warning there. boston and logan, 6 inches of snow. but lynn, 2. that really tells the story. as the crow flies, you're looking at 8 miles from the airport over to lynn. that's the cut off there between winter storm warning and just a few inches of snow. so very fine line. boston coming in a little higher than our forecast yesterday. but overall with that line shifting just north, not reasonable to have that kind of air in a forecast. so this is the picture we got in. 10 inches on the stick. south dartmouth this morning, both waking up snapping a few photos for us. the last of the snow moving east of the cape. and nantucket, a left over flurry or two. still possible here. look at the up close radar, really drying up, snow just collapsing. now we turn our attention to the coastal flood warning that is in affect 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 today, so the north and east facing beaches, even nantucket, road closures we heard from stephanie and jim as well there, still some concerns for that along our coastline, especially for the cape. and winds are going to start subsiding, that will be good news as we see winds gusting 30 something right now. but the good news is that will change and get down below 30 even lower 20s for dueses at 3:00 today. winds out of the northwest, 5 to 15 elsewhere. currently we're in the upper teens to even a few 30s. let's go out to hyannis where it's 31 degrees and we'll see the clouds this morning. but the snow is out of here, in fact, a little bit of sunshine starting to break out and temperatures coming out of the lower 30s into middle 30s at best. around norwood, 19 right now. still some clouds. i do expect a good deem of sun of the upper teens and into the low 30s towards 2:00 this afternoon. there's your boston forecast, 30 to 235. a bright start as the clouds move away and a few clouds returning late in the day ahead of another disturbance. but that one won't bring us much of anything, just a few clouds. there are those areas of highs, most around the freezing mark, if not a little better. there are nose clouds late today and hang around early tomorrow. but then overall, a dry start to your week. tonight. upper teens, lower 20s. a little milder heading to the south and -- seven-day forecast dry on your monday. upper 30s, monday afternoon. look at this warmth, in the 40s on tuesday morning ahead of our next front. so southwest wind warms us up. could see a couple of rain showers but no snow showers. wednesday, leave that extension early. thursday is nice and dry and sunny and quiet. and watch next weekend, models indicating a coastal storm passing well away. that track. >> heather: oh, man. could be another one. thanks for watching that for us. all right. new technology being used in a major international airport. aimed at more accurately matching people to their pass ports. coming up next, how this all works and where it's already in use. >> gene: plus month after health scares, a restaurant chai [mother] yeah but this neighborhood,i feel like it's got a lot of what we were kinda talking about. the kitchen is light and bright,new. we should definitely go see it.

morning. the tidying of when residents along the coast could be at the highest risk. >> reporter: cape cod takes the blunt of the snowstorm, how it's looking the morning after. >> heather: plus nearly a dozen states feeling the affectly of this storm this morning. some airports shut down. thousands stranded in their cars overnight. we'll take a look across all of the affected areas. >> gene: of course the patriots are taking on the broncos today. we have a live report from denver as new england's favorite team gets ready for another fight for the afc championship. >> this is a fox 25 tracker weather alert. >> heather: thanks so much for watching the fox 25 morning news. it is 7 a.m. on sunday, january 24th. i'm heather hegedus. did you hear my boston accent? area? jeff myers would be proud. if you haven't seen that yet. we are digging out especially over the cape this morning. over all 85 million people affected by this massive winter storm that worked its way up and down the east coast. our team coverage continues this morning. fox 25 stephanie coueignoux live from scituate, jim morelli live from sand itch with, they got hit hard with a more than a foot of snow. >> heather: first we check in with fox 25's storm tracker weather meteorologist jason brewer in the storm tracker weather center. the snow is on the way out. but still things monitoring jfrjtsdz the coastal concerns, more on that. do want to take you to totals. up those totals farther north ward as the snow bans begin to lift north ward. late yesterday, ended up with 6 inches in boston. a little higher than what i was forecasting yesterday at this time. you saw the cut off there, lynn had two inches of snow. so just 8 miles could make a huge difference with this event. now the lull moving away. the last of the flurries out of additional snow. as you can see right now in nantucket, that's it. so let's go to the rpm and show you those temperatures. we had upper teens at 8:00 this morning. a few upper 20s as you go to the cape and islands. now, as we head into the afternoon, say about 3, 3:30, low to mid 30s out there. sun on the way. from the west to the east. not looking too bad. coastal flood warning is posted for the cape, for nantucket, north and east facing beaches that's where you got to watch for road erow, minor erosion. more on that going up: >> gene: the cape and islands got the worse of the storm in our area. this video taken by our crews as they work their way to sand witch yesterday this morning, snow is no longer falling in sandwich. >> heather: as you can see in that video, no longer dark in. as that town begins to dig out. jim, video i don't from you on your way down, you can tell all night. but still a windy situation where you are, i know. >> reporter: yeah, to say the least. it's windy here. the roads pretty good. some of the back roads still have a little icy snow on them. on the way down here, really no troubles at all. what we're looking at right now, is the 1:11. that's the time of high tide here at sandwich and they are expecting some minor to moderate coastal flooding. you can see the ocean behind us here. it is rolling as the build pulse away. we've got tremendous wind, 25, 35 miles an hour gusts. up to 55 miles per hour. and that water is very very ominous looking at this point. power outages, you would expect quite a few of them with winds like this. and they in fact did have them at the height of the blizzard. last night about 9:00 there were about 1700 customers without power here in sandwich. now reported here. 80 barnstable and just a few handful in a few other towns. they are expecting a little bit of flooding and we're waiting to see whether or not that happens. 11:11 is the high tide. the wind chill is absolutely tremendous. the temperature is 30 degrees. that's making it slightly bearable. but the feel here is more like the teens. reporting live in sandwich, jim morelli, fox 25 news. >> heather: hope you take cover and try to get him a hat. team coverage continues in scituate this morning, where the storms over there as well. but there are flooding concerns this morning. >> gene: yeah, fox 25 stephanie coueignoux is there this morning. stephanie, the flooding hasn't really started yet but likewise, the wind going pretty well there as well? >> reporter: yeah, the wind gusts are continuing. i don't know if you can see, i'm being pushed forward just a little bit. but we showed you this metal sign yesterday and you can see once again, it is shaking in the wind. being that snow and ice are now coating the signs and coating these roads. you can see a number of inches have fallen. that snow has since cleared. but i do want to show you the waves. and, again, flooding is one of the biggest issues you can see that the wind is pushing the waves onto the shore near this wall right here. but i have to tell you, it seems a little calmer than yesterday morning. again, high tide at around 11:00. so we are going to be expecting the water levels to rise. and that's something that we're going to keep a very close eye on. i checked with the scituate town hall earlier this morning. i looked on their website and i do say they are expected minimal to moderate flooding in the usual areas, they're saying. but, again, the other issues, of course, power outages. because of this wind, i also checked with eversource in the last 20 minutes and they are still reporting 622 power outages. but coming up in 30 minutes, we have been seeing some action here in scituate. we also saw some action in other towns yesterday to minimize that flooding impact. we'll have those details coming up for you in 30 minutes. in scituate, stephanie coueignoux, fox 25 news. >> gene: now it's 7:06. this morning, anyone trying to fly this morning might be completely out of luck. in the past 20 minutes we learned that the weather has grounded all flights in new bedford, barnstable, and martha's vineyard airports. be sure to check in with your airport if you try to catch a flight today out of any airport impacted by the storm. airlines around the country are working to recover from the storm, more than 10,000 flights across the country cancelled over the last couple of days. airports in philadelphia, washington, d.c. also working to dig out after totally stopping operations yesterday. and in new york, the storm went well into the morning. planes just sitting around la guardia, jfk unable to move. bad, logan still has problems. very own shiri spear, last night got stuck on her plane after landing, no gates available. so she had to wait it out on the tarmac. >> heather: an emergency parking ban is over for one community. newton's ban lifted an hour and a half ago. that ban was issued late last night but no cars had to be towed. and the major storm did not stop people from heading out to times square yesterday after the snow stopped falling. we've been showing live pictures yesterday morning on the fox 25 morning news. it was very quiet yesterday morning but people were out in the afternoon even throwing snowballs out there. the blizzard did catch the city that never sleeps a little off guard, though, some totals were nearly double what was predicted. of course the snow down there leading to some very serious situations as well. this morning, that storm is being blamed for at least 18 death in five states. from the carolinas to new york, tens of thousands of people to our south were also without chris welch reports from one of the hardest hit areas, washington, d.c. >> reporter: an epic and slow moving storm knocked out power for thousands. shut down cities, emptied airports and grounded flights. what's worse, this historic storm has become deadly, killing people from north carolina to new york. >> this is bad and it is getting worse rapidly. >> reporter: drivers in several states stranded on the road. even emergency vehicles having trouble. >> this is a historic snowstorm. it is a huge challenge. >> reporter: in pennsylvania, hundreds of cars stranded for 20 hours on the turnpike. includes buses of high school students. in central kentucky some drivers stuck on the interstate for 19 hours, having to decide whether to stay were warm and keep their cars running or conserve gas. in new york, the governor the state. inside. >> the situation is getting worse. >> reporter: the city that never all broadway shows cancelled. bridges and done themes leading into and out of the city have closed. and the nypd enforcing the ban. looking at the blizzard from outer space, you can see just how massive this storm is up and it will continue churning throughout the weekend with more people in its path. in washington, i'm chris welch, reporting. >> gene: patriots fans take the opportunity to show their team spirit with the snow. plymouth man showed this picture of a snowman decked out. big smile. that's a good sign. come 3:00 this afternoon, denver, colorado will be the center of the universe as the process and broncos kick off the afc championship game. we check in with butch stearns, live bright and early this morning in denver. butch, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, gene, it is bright and early. just past 5 a.m. here denver time. no snowmen out here. as a matter of fact, the lack of snow all around this place. warm out here in denver. broncos fans are pretty confident. and you wonder why, with the patriots being favorites. the ones i talk to, mainly point to the struggles of tom brady at the stadium behind me. two and six in his career in denver. this has not been a fun place for tom brady to play. >> i know we've had a lot of pretty lonely feeling it ises when you're driving out of that stadium, pretty tough losses there over the years. because they've had really good teams. i think that's what it comes down. always had a good great organization, good coaches, great players, it's a great organization. so it's not surprising we were in a super bowl two years ago last year are, they were one of the top seeds. this year had a great season. it's always a challenge going out to play anybody on the road, especially a team that's as talented as they are. >> reporter: this has been a house of horrors for the patriots over the years in teams. a while ago, but, again, the patriots have struggled here in denver. denver. and if you look over my shoulder now, a full moon here after 5 a.m. in denver. not sure what that oh men will rolls around. but the game will be coming up, gene, as you mentioned 3:00, 1:00, denver time. patriots the favorites despite the record. and tom brady says that won't be a problem here in denver. we'll see. for now, live, outside of the stadium, i'm butch sterns, here in denver, back to you gene. >> gene: so boston avoided the blunt of the storm, of course on down on the cape. people did take advantage of it, though, this morning. coming up this morning, the way bostonians went out to watch the storm, slam the rest of the east coast and take delight in them getting hit instead of us. >> heather: exactly. plus hundreds of people potentially exposed to a deadly disease. the reason a local hospital is on the hook this morning. risk for flooding as wel i get out of workpand i go to the store, and somebody' s,psmellin' around, "mmm! i smell cookies." i say, "oh no, you just smell me. i just got out of work. that' s honey bunches of oats, that' s all." i say "don' t eat me now." (church bell) (bear growls) r(burke) smash and grub. r we've seen a thing or two. we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum what would you do with five minutes to kill, and a smart phone? check the scores. probably post a pic. text a friend. how about register to vote? really? you can. five minutes online and a massachusetts drivers license is all it takes to register so you can vote for our next president. go to registertovotema.com. it's that easy. done. i just registered. that was easy. register today. >> gene: digging out the theme sunday morning. take a look at crews in virginia called in a front end loader, pretty much had no impact, that truck was stuck in the snow for quite some time. >> heather: check out this video showing poor conditions on the cape as well. yesterday during the storm, a car went off the road in route 25 in bourne and in plymouth, an suv rolled over and hit a tree. we're told the people inside that suv were hurt but don't know the extent of their injuries this morning. >> gene: and plowing the snow turned out dangerous in sandwich, a truck caught fire last night. hurt. this morning, that fire is under investigation. >> heather: and the metrowest area, folks there making the best of the cold wet snowy saturday out in walpole where we caught up with cheery folks at the raven's nest, a local watering hole, in case you haven't heard of it. they were out there, hanging out, watching the rest of the east coast suffer. >> we're very hardy out here. dc, philly, they have no idea what they're doing down there. we've been through it. had last year, they tell us, we deserve a break. we do indeed. and the few inches that came down in walpole, nothing those folks can't handle. right, jason? >> storm tracker weather alert. >> jason: heather, you're right, four, five inches of snow, not a big deal. the bulk of the were to passing to our south. a foot or more around the cape and islands. as planned, the southern areas favored for the nor'easter and the wind shifted farther north than what i predicted. look at these totals, 15 inches, east falmouth, nantucket, almost a foot. plymouth, 8 and a half. airport was at 6 inches. and then 8 miles, the crow flies north of there, to lynn, 2 inches. you see that sharp cut off, just 8 miles making a very big difference what that tide coastal storm going by. reports, this one coming in early this morning, 10 inches down towards south dartmouth. now. no more accumulation, just a couple of flurries that we just finished up with there on nantucket. the went are storm warning officially expired as of 7:00 this morning. now we turn our attention to the coastal flooding concerns. a warning of that for the cape and for nantucket. the north and east facing beaches susceptible to this. so we're looking at big seas and minor beach erosion. also a couple of feet of water could be coming up at times of high tide later this morning. so 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m., watching out for some water, in low lying coastal roads could have some overwash there, road closures. let's take a look at the wind gusts, seeing them 35 to 40 miles an hour. hyannis, nantucket, good news, to his winds are going to start tapering down. let's go to 3:30, only 20 miles an hour wind gusts that's been seeing about 10, to 15 miles an hour back inland. over all, not lost on your morning. the depending on where you live, right now in worcester, 20 degrees, clear skies above. temperatures are warm, close to 30 by 3:00. and not much more than that with a little bit of snow on the ground. go over to hyannis where it's 30 degrees right now. low clouds still hanging around. it's windy, again, those gusts taper off. temperatures climb into the low 30s this afternoon after bottoming out in the upper 20s this morning. go over to boston. temps 30 to 35 this afternoon. 10 to 15 on those winds. not too bad. a bright start as the clouds move out of here. and a few high clouds return later in the day towards sun set. we'll call it partly cloudy overall. daytime highs, 34 norwood and 33 at new bedford for today. look at that future cast, ahead of our next disturbance, a batch of clouds late in the day, they continue overnight. that's actually going to help keep temperatures from totally plummeting, of course with all of the snow cover. we're down to 22 in boston, that's about average this time of year, upper teens, framingham, mid 20s for the vineyard and hyannis. there's your seven-day forecast, we're going to stay dry to start out your workweek, a high of 37 tomorrow. then if you're a fan of the 40s, daytime highs coming back on tuesday. so we're going to be seeing a front on the way, approaching, to warm us a little bit above normal. and then on wednesday, behind the front, we'll see some slight cooling, but not too much, back to seasonal readings by the end of the week. then we'll watch next weekend, the models indicating a chance of a coastal storm. that's a moderate threat we'll be monitoring changes to that. gene, heather. >> gene: breaking news an earthquake in alaska upgraded to about 160 southwest of anchorage. there are reports of power outages in anchorage, but no reports of any damage with earthquakes in that part of the world, there is concern about a tsunami, but the be in a weather service says it doesn't expect one from this earthquake. >> heather: hundreds of colonoscopies patients are being told they may have been exposed to a potentially deadly disease. nearly 300 patients are now at risk for hiv and hepatitis c and b after getting the procedure done at baystate noble hospital in 2012 and 2013. apparently the instruments used were not properly disinfected. but the hospital says they think there's a relatively low chance that anyone was infected. >> i'm extremely confident that patients were at low risk. but now our job is to be certain that there was no patient harm. >> heather: the hospital says they have notified all affected patients by now and hope to have the results of the testing phase meantime, big concerns at another local hospital about staff safety. one nurse telling fox 25 there have not been enough changes in the year since a deadly shooting. now the federal government is weighing in. coming up, what the feds have to say about safety procedures at brigham & women's. >> gene: plus donald trump is using a controversial example to supporters are >> heather: time now 7:24. the republican front-runner donald trump believes his supporters will still stay loyal no matter what he does. many supporters telling them almost nothing could make them change their mind at this point about voting for trump. he did ramp things up with this comment as well. >> they say, i have the most loyal people. did you of see that? where i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay. pretty incredible. >> heather: obviously those comments pretty sensitive as gun violence takes center stage in political arena and after shootings. >> gene: meanwhile, republican campaigning in new hampshire. a town hall meeting in pelham. and also spoke to the gop at a state town hall in nashua where he expressed his fondness for new hampshire voters. even snuck in a little jab seemingly at donald trump. >> i love campaigning here. i love interacting with people that actually are concerned about the future of the country. they're not latched onto the big personalities on the stage. >> gene: bush also held town halls in beau or will be holding town halls in beau and merrimac. >> heather: tough news for commuters. new polls show the mbta has the most break downs in the entire country. according to the national transit database, the t had 229 mechanical failures in 2014. and that is four times the national average. listen to this, according to the break downs didn't even occur during the snowstorms last year. the t in part says it works very hard to keep the aging fleet up and runs. >> gene: the snow is now over but not without leaving more than a foot in some areas of the state. we'll check in with the aftermath out in sandwich still coming up. >> jason: you bet and i'm refuse capping all of the snow totals and talking about a return to sunshine to wrap up your weekend. more on coastal concerns we're still dealing with still ahead. >> reporter: flooding concerns continue this morning as high tide is just hours away. the other major issue overnight with dunkin's chicken apple sausage sandwich. and savory sausage together for under

conditions today. >> gene: same thing in arlington national cemetery. these images shared all over the internet. the blizzard has the historic site closed but still a soldier stands guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier throughout the entire blizzard. good morning, everybody, on this sunday morning, 7:30. i'm gene lavanchy. >> i'm heather hegedus we appreciate you joining us this morning. stephanie coueignoux is back for the second day in a row with flooding concerns that continue this in scituate. plus jim morelli in sandwich. >> gene: first let's check in with jason brewer in the weather center. the storm is moving out. still keeping an eye on areas of interest here. >> jason: you bet. i do wanto show you some of the totals. more than i predicted but those bans lifting north ward, so we had to lift it north ward, some of those communities with yesterday. but we still ended up with just dursting to nothing as you went north and west, a shortcut off line of about 8 miles making a event. there goes the nor'easter, we are dry now. in fact, sun beginning to break out as we head through the morning and through afternoon. temperatures. upper teens, botch, lawrence, bump, mid to upper 20s for the cape and islands. and then we'll all go ahead and recover into the low 30s this afternoon. we are still monitoring the coastline. more on that with team coverage. stephanie is out live. >> heather: that's right our team coverage continuing from scituate. that's where the storm is over. but those flooding concerns are >> gene: sure are. fox 25 stephanie coueignoux is there for us this morning. good morning, stephanie. the sun is up, i want to show you this. take a look on the horizon right there, you can actually see, as jays sob was talking about, the sky is now clear and those storm clouds now moving out. but, again, as we've been monitoring for the last 24, 48 hours. that flooding concern continues to be a problem. you can see the water right here behind me. if waves really not too bad just yet. but, again, high tide still a few hours away at around 11 this morning. so we're going to continue to keep a very close eye as this water level continues to rise right here. scituate is expecting minor to moderate flooding. possibly today. meantime, take a look. this is some video from yesterday in plymouth. no flooding issues there yesterday. but emergency management says they could still see some flooding today, specifically what they did was they had 150 snowplows out on the roads. they were clearing all of the snow that they received, hoping once they cleared that, that would minimize the flooding impact today. and this morning, here in scituate already, we've seen a number of snowplows clearing the roads. hopefully if those water levels do continue to rise, the fact that snow has now cleared might help them. but flooding not the only concern. i don't know if you can see, but i'm kind of being pushed by the wind. wind gusts also continue to be a major problem. that has led to some wind related proujdz. i'll have the latest for you on the power outages coming up. stephanie coueignoux fox 25. >> gene: parts of new jersey under water. the streets will look more like a pond thanks to high tide blizzard combination. in some areas waist keep. but other parts of the state to sand dune projects that were the result of super storm sandy. >> heather: meantime washington, d.c. one of the hardest hit areas by this nor'easter, nearly two feet of snow measured in the nation's capital. the national guard being called for help there. emergency crews trying to get around the road. i have a friend in dc who said that a plow truck got you can stuck. you know you're in trouble, when the guy digging you out got stuck. >> gene: that's not good. the cape and islands certainly got the worse of it in our area. >> heather: fox 25 jim morelli is live for us this morning in sandwich where about a foot of snow fell and you can hear the wind out there this morning, jim. >> reporter: you can. i took your advice, heather, last half hour and put on a hat. thought maybe i'll get some gloves by the end of this shift. the temperature here, the air temperature is really not that bad. it's the wind that's really making it feel awful. it feels like it's in the teens, even though it's about 30 just -- the wind. i want to show you a little bit of a few minutes ago, the time lapse photography of sun actually coming up and what you see is the sun is really anywhere in sight. basically what we've got down here, we come back out here live, we've got shades of white, we've got shades of gray and we've got the wind. you would think with so much wind we would have massive power outages here. we certainly can see the wires flailing in the wind. but we had 1700 last night. there are no reported outages here in sandwich. just a handful of scattered throughout the cape. as far as the flooding is concerned, high tide is supposed to happen at 11:11 here. minor possible moderate flooding expected. we have seen certainly the waves picked up. and they're definitely higher than they were earlier. now we're finally starting to see blue skies a little bit of sun and that will certainly feel good. back to you. >> heather: that wind is strong out there. a reminder when you dig out, make sure you clear your car off as well. we had a picture that shows you what could happen. it shows a windshield cracked and shattered from ice flying off another car and people inside the other car actually hurt. >> gene: the roofs, sometimes, clean off those little spots in front of you. >> heather: you can get a ticket for not clearing it off. >> gene: right. that snow flies off on speeds, especially on the highways, very dangerous creating the situation right there we just saw. we're been reporting all different areas different amounts of snow. these are pictures that viewers are sharing with us on fox 25. this one shared more than 1,000 times on the fox 25 facebook page, thanks to morgan mick sweeney sharing this picture of their beach day. that's englanders right there. people. share them on facebook fox 25 location. >> heather: local hockey players took teamwork to a whole new level. fresh off a big win against a rival team their trip home took an unusual turn. we'll tell you the story about behind this video. >> gene: plus public transportation riders get to weigh in on a new proposal from the mbta. and next at a series of public meetings being held this week. here, but leaving flooding with john kasich on the issues? take the kasich quiz! forced obamacare expansion in ohio. voted for massive defense cuts and defended the process that closed pease air force base, which cost thousands of local jobs. even had the worst rating on spending of any governor in the country - republican or democrat. john kasich - wrong on new hampshire issues. >> heather: time now 7:40 and whether big storms move in, people react in one of two ways, either run out to store to stock up on bread and milk or they shrug it off. well, buffalo is doing the ladder. this sign reads, if buffalo got two feet of snow, it would be called tuesday. yeah, all right, it's easy for it was not even a dusting of snow there. they know about lake affect snow there, that's for sure. >> gene: mbta waivering on fair hikes the agency is

probably a little bit extra store this morning, after their game in rhode island and this is why. take a look at this video. this mother, nancy, sent this video in, telling her son and the rest of the suffolk university team had to actually get their bus and push it out of the snow when it got stuck on the side of the road. eventually they got going again and made it out safely back to boston. did okay in their game yesterday as well. >> this is a fox 25 storm tracker weather alert. >> jason: all right. and good morning. we're off to a bright start. but not after some heavy snow fell across the cape and islands. let's recap some of the totals. east falmouth running at more than 15 inches. nantucket had almost a foot officially. plymouth 8 and a half. boston, logan. had 6 inches of snow. those snow bans lifting farther north ward. and boston ended up with a little bit more. north ward, 8, 10 miles you had two inches or less or even nothing. so a very sharp cut off. what a difference. just a few miles can make. let me show you pictures we're getting in this morning. this one from sam in south dartmouth, a good solid 10 inches on the stick. this one coming in from weymouth where we have sunnier skies trying to appear. look at that beautiful snow there go the flurries out of here. there go the nor'easter pulling east of the coastline and well out to the sea. leaving in its wake some flooding concerns. coastal flood advisory from hull to sandwich. but also coastal flood warning for the cape and nantucket. those north and east facing beaches. waters coming in, high tide, especially with the full moon, about 11 o'clock this morning. high astronomical tides. water in the basement possible in normally flood areas. road closures also a concern due to water coming up also some overwash from sand and that kind of thing. that's going to subside after 2:00. appear then we turn our attention to the winds. those will subside as well. we're getting gusts 40, 45 for the cape and islands right now. but go to our future cast and show you the hour by hour winds and how they taper down, winds gusting to only 20 as we head to 2, 3:00. currently temperatures are in the upper teens and lower 20s. and we have sunny skies. nice visibility, feels like 10 with a little bit of a breeze. but the good news is that sun lasts for a better part of your afternoon and will be in the lower 30s there at about 3:00. hyannis, at 30 degrees. temperatures are going to come down maybe one, two, more degrees here over the course of the early morning underneath the clouds but with a little sun coming through, you'll be able to get on up into the low to mid 30s as well. into boston we go, 30 to 35 the highs today, a breeze not too bad, winds will taper off in the afternoon. a couple of clouds return late in the day. there are your area temperatures. 30, to 34 degrees. there are those high clouds coming in late today out ahead of our next disturbance. that will roll through overnight with very little fanfare. it doesn't look like any precipitation with it. just some clouds that will act like a blanket. we're going to have light winds and if skies remain totally clear, it will be a lot colder than the numbers i'm showing it will be seasonably chilly. boston to gloucester, upper teens framingham and toward nantucket, 29 by tomorrow morning. here's the seven-day forecast, we stay dry on your monday. tuesday, there is a slight chance of some rain to move in. bigger story, i think, the 40s, the warm up ahead of that front and then we'll cool down again late in the week. heather and gene. >> heather: it could be a lot worse. temperatures in the teens this time of year, i only saw one 18 there the whole seven-day forecast. >> gene: we'll take it. >> heather:

than animals getting excited after a big snowfall. especially when they're panda bears. check this out from the washington, d.c. this panda couldn't contain found the snow yesterday. hopefully he doesn't need to be cleaned off. >> gene: embrace the snow is what the pandas are teaching us. >> heather: >> gene: new technology starting to come online now, jfk airport in new york is starting to use facial recognition software, takes a picture and compares it to the passport and give a score of 1 to 100 based on similarities. a low score tells agents something might not add up. it's to track down on people's using fake documents without making the customs practice take any longer. >> heather: embattled chipotle is looking to win back customers with a deal. the big game, the restaurant will take 50 bucks off of the first 1500 catering orders on super bowl sunday. this comes after e. coli and norovirus outbreaks were linked to food from chipotle. and all of the chain stores we have

snowfall totals. that happened on the cape too. coming up the path of the storm as it wreaked havoc on the east coast. >> jason: what a storm it was. i'm going to recap some of the totals. tracking the return of brighter skies. i'll tell you what the nor'easter is leaving in its wake coming up. >> heather: plus, major health concerns in one massachusetts hospital. still ahead, hundreds of deadly disease. happened. those patients had >> jason: i'm recapping the snow totals from the nor'easter its wake and also when to expect warmer temperatures in the seven-day forecast. >> reporter: the storm may have moved out but flooding continues to be a major concern. the timing of when residents along the coast could be at the highest risk. >> gene: the cape took the brunt of the blizzard, what it's looking like the day after. >> heather: and nearly a dozen states feeling the affect of the storm as well. airports totally shut down. thousands stranded in their cars overnight. we're going to take a

its ticket to another super bowl. >> this is a fox 25 storm tracker weather alert. >> heather: and thank you so much for waking one the fox 25 morning news this sunday. it's 8 a.m., on january 24th, i'm heather hegedus. >> gene: i'm gene lavanchy, we're waking up and digging out. more than 85 million people affected by a massive storm that our team coverage continues this morning. fox 25 stephanie coueignoux live from scituate where the community is prepping for flooding, plus jim morelli live from sandwich, they got with more than a foot of snow. they got hit hard by all of this. >> heather: they certainly did. but jason brewer in the storm tracker weather center. jason, while the snow is out, there's several things we're keeping tabs on this morning. >> jason: still coastal concerns. we'll hear from stephanie on that straight ahead. as you said, the cape got hit the hardest, the cape and islands, the areas south, with a foot or more of snow coming in. boston had officially 6 inches at logan and just north of there, 2 inches or even nothing. so a very sharp cut off with your nor'easter, typical of these storms. now it's moving away. no other concerns of any additional snow. in fact, sun breaking out from the west to the east now. temperatures in the upper teens right now. on into the 8:00 hour and then by noon. we're seeing those upper 20s. 10:00, some folks watching the game this afternoon. not as much wind and temperatures in the lower 30s. now, the 11:00 high tide cycle is going to be a problem. we've got coastal flooding issues. talking more about it coming up. >> gene: the cape and islands got the worse of this storm. this video of our crews working down to sandwich yesterday. there were dangerous driving conditions throughout the area yesterday as the storm started to pick up across this area. the snow no longer falling on sandwich. jim morelli continues our coverage in sandwich as town continues to dig out. on your way down, you can tell the roads had been plowed all night. it looks hike they did a pretty good job keeping up with it. >> reporter: they sure did. it was a pretty easy ride down. actually around town, the roads are pretty good as well. i am now facing the wind. and the reason that i am is that i want to show you something here. we're going to take a look up at the wires the electrical wires. amazing lack of power outages here in sandwich when they had 1700 customers out last night, none this morning. but now they do have some. 22 customers are now reporting without power likely because of this intense wind. that's still a small number compared to number of people down here in sandwich. but it is a testament to the persistent 20 to 35 mifrns wind we've got. gusts possibly up to 55. back end. the snow totals down here, possibly a foot or more, possibly 14 inches. they are bracing for possibilitiful coastal flooding. high tide at 11:11. right now it's predicted it will be minor to moderate. live in sandwich, jim morelli, fox 25 news. >> heather: hold onto that hat, jim. our team coverage continuing this morning in scituate where falling. just wind but also flooding. >> gene: stokz stephanie coueignoux is there for us this morning. stephanie, the wind last hasn't started yet but the wind is still going pretty strong now. >> reporter: yeah, these wind gusts are continue to go pick up. you get a better idea with this american flag flapping in the wind. jim, we're talking about power outages in sandwich. i checked with eversource here in scituate. they're still reporting 622 storm related power outages. so that is a big concern. but taking a look at the water. we've been showing you this all morning long. maybe a little bit more wavy than what we showed you just half an hour ago. but we were here yesterday and we were showing you those waves with those white crests. so it seems to be a little calmer this morning. but if you're looking at that line there of that water, we have been seeing it creeping on up, and that's because high tide is expected around 11:00 a.m. scituate town hall reporting moderate flooding in the usual places like sand hill. but take a look, as we were driving around, you can see these roads are cleared. i have to say they've done an excellent job clearing all of that new and a number of inches have fallen, it is still a little icy in patches. you definitely want to be careful of that. but they've done a great job clearing the roads. wind really does seem to be the biggest of problems. coming up in 30 minutes, we're going to let you know about the action we've seen already this morning in scituate as they prepare for that potential of flooding. in scituate, i'm stephanie coueignoux, fox 25 news. >> gene: now if you're trying to fly out this morning, you may be completely out of luck. especially aly at the smaller regional airports. as we told you in the last hour, the weather has grounded all flights at new bedford, vineyard's airports. be sure to check with your airline if you're trying to catch a flight today out 6 any airport. especially if you happen to be by the storm. because airlines around the from the storm they're working hard to do that, more than 10,000 flights across the country were cancelled over the last two days. the airports in philadelphia and washington, d.c. are still working to dig out. yesterday. and in new york, the storm went well into this morning. planes were just stuck at jfk and la guardia, unable to move at all. even though we we didn't get hit as bad here, logan still had issues. our very own shiri spear tweeted out she got stuck at her landing because there were no free gates appeared had to wait it out for quite a while on the tarmac. >> heather: in the meantime, a parking ban is lifted. newton had a ban that was lifted at 6:00. that ban was issued late last night. but they didn't have to tow any cars. the major storm didn't stop people from heading out to time squares yesterday. people were out walking around, even throwing snowballs. but the blizzard did catch the city that never sleeps off guard some totals, in some areas, were nearly double what was predicted. of course it wasn't all fun and games. a very situation out there as well. and this morning, that storm is being blamed for at least 18 deaths and five states. from the carolinas to new york, tons of thousands of people were without power overnight. chris welch reports from one of the hardest hit areas, washington, d.c. >> reporter: an epic and slow moving storm knocked out power for thousands. shut down cities, emptied airports and grounded flights. what's worse, this historic storm has become deadly. killing people from north carolina to new york. >> this is bad and it is getting worse rapidly. >> reporter: drivers in several states stranded on the road. even emergency vehicles having trouble. >> this is a historic snowstorm. this is a huge challenge. >> reporter: in pennsylvania, hundreds of cars stranded for 20 hours on the turnpike. including buses of high school students. in central kentucky, some for 19 hours. having to decide whether to stay warm and keep their cars running or conserve gas. in new york, the governor imposed a travel ban for parts of the state to encourage people to go inside. >> the situation is getting worse. >> reporter: the city that never sleeps, will be a little quieter. all broadway shows cancelled. bridges and tunnels leading into and out of the city have closed. and the nypd is enforcing the band. looking at the blizzard from outer space you can see how massive this storm is. and it will continue churning throughout the weekend with more people in its path. in washington, chris welch reporting. >> heather: yes we just learned that travel ban in new york state has just been lifted right now. >> gene: speaking of new york state, take a look at new york's governor spent the blizzard. that is him lending his hand to a driver who got stuck. got a vote in the future from >> heather: i would think. >> gene: patriots fans taking the opportunity to show their team spirit with this snow. this picture with a snowman decked out in patriots gear. coming 3:00 this afternoon, denver, colorado will be the center of the sports universe as the patriots and broncos kick off in the afc championship game. the mood of the fans and the town and the team for that matter. we join butch stearns live at the mile high stadium this morning. the anticipation is growing, even at this early hour. >> reporter: yeah, it is, gene. it's game day and it always gets that way on game day. so much talk leading up to this game. since we hit the ground here in denver we're been all around the city talking to fans, patriots fans and broncos fans. and yesterday, we went to a local bar, highland tap grill. and as you're about to see, it has a real boston flavor to it. >> it's fun. i love this type of weather. the this is new england. why not. this is what you're supposed to >> from i'm new england, i've lived here my entire life. i -- >> reporter: okay. guys. well, we're here outside the stadium. it is game day. a little less than 7 hours away from game. patriots 3 points favorites as we've talked all morning. they've struggled in denver throughout the career, tom brady has. we have talked with fans about this. over the last few days. patriots fans are confident they're going to win. but broncos fans are just as confident that tom brady is here. coming up in the next half hour, denver. back to you, i'm butch stearns. >> gene: thank you, butch. sorry about those technical issues we had there as well. 8:10 this morning. boston avoided the brunt of the storm. that. bostonians went out to watch the storm while the rest of the country got slammed. >> heather: plus hundreds of people potentially exposed to a deadly disease. we'll tell you the reason a local hospital is now on the hook for it. >> jason: all right. sun yu ey skies are returned for most of southern new england. i'll tell you when the rest of recap snow totals and tel is if you work hard, and you do your part, you should be able to get ahead and stay ahead. but so many families don't feel like their hard work pays off. that's not the way america is supposed to operate. i want to go to bat for them every single day. get incomes rising... get equal pay for women... cut the cost of health caret so people canr actually get ahead. hillary clinton, she has what it takes to get things done. i'm hillary clinton and i >> heather: all right. time now 8:13 and things looking better on the roads this morning. thanks to some 2,000 mass. d.o.t. crews who worked through the night to clean things up. joining us on the line, is tom kin lynn from mass. d.o.t. thanks for joining us and take me through the conditions right now about what it's like on the major highways this morning, what to expect on 128, the pike, 495. >> reporter: sure. thank you so much. transition from an active snow event. we go into kind of snow recovery, snow clean up, portion of the program, right. so 495, 93, 95, the pike are all in really good condition. where we continue to see issue is the areas that were hit hardest, the cape, obviously the islands, the new bedford, the so really what we're focused on today is being -- things such as widening the roadways, addressing snow drift on the corners where visibility might be down for both the motorist and the pedestrian. we've been, as you say, without over 2500 pieces of equipment out on the road since yesterday. apparently that number is now down to about 800 and the vast majority is in those -- in the southeastern portion of the state. >> heather: looking at a live picture right now. and it looks like we're seeing a lot of blacktop on the highways. is that true? will it be mostly black as people are driving today? >> exactly right. what we like to say is optimal condition after an event such as this is wet and black. wet and black asphalt. and that is what we're seeing on the vast majority of our roads. again, we still have work to do. i think as people leave their homes today, they're just stopping to get ready for the patriots game at 3:00, i would like to remind people, this was a major winter event. metro boston area got more than anticipated. so ask people to use a lot of common sense, really make sure that they clean off their vehicles before they get on the roadways. we don't need any flying projectiles, the damaged vehicles behind them. so this is -- we're not too far removed from the snow and train were in an hour. but those folks need to continue to respect that and conduct themselves accordingly and give us the room that we need to do our job. >> heather: i wonder how difficult it was for your crews keeping up last night. you mention the cape and the south shore being hardest hitting areas. were you caught off guard? did you experience any big problems? we're looking at pictures of driving just from this morning, still seeing white in the photos overnight. but were you caught off guard by anything? >> no. i think we're fortunate that we do have a lot of resources at our disposal. for example i don't think a lot of people understand we have over 45 weather stations spread throughout the state. so when conditions begin to without any disrespect to the meteorologists and the media, we don't need to wait for the latest forecast, so we can track the trends and changes in the weather. and then the areas hit the least, ironically you have the that northwest portion of the state which usually gets cloberred by snow. we didn't have any snow out there. it allows us to take those resources, that equipment, personnel, and move it to the areas that need it. as the totals started to creep up, we already planned for that. you guys know, we can have over 4,000 pieces. equipment on the road at any one time. and we have no problem deploying that as needed. >> heather: you did ask people to stay off the roads last night. people out there today, as you mentioned maybe going to pats parties. is there anything you like people to keep in mind, i know you mentioned cleaning off your car being a big issue. >> and you're going to see, especially, again, we saw district 5, which is the cape cod area, new bedford area, fall river, they're still going to just remember not all of these truck drivers -- so if you can't see them, they can't see you. if we're out and about cleaning up, an abundance of caution, give our equipment the room we need to do the job. if you can walk, walk. if you can't, take the t. now would be the day to leave the vehicle where it is. allow us to continue to dig out, especially in those areas hardest hit. and we'll all be back in business later on today and monday morning. >> heather: awesome. great stuff. tom tim lynn from mass. d.o.t. reporting hundreds of equipment still keeping up with this. we appreciate the good work and thanks for joining us. >> thank you so much. have a good day. >> fox 25 storm tracker weather alert. >> jason: all right. i'm tallying up some of those snow totals that we were able to read out here from our weather watchers this morning. east bridgewater, 8 inches of blue hills, 7 inches. franklin about 5 and a half. holliston checked in at 5 inches of snow. burlington, over to lexington, about that much as well and northwest of there, zip yo. them ended up with nothing. now the concern, 11:00, high tide, water in the basely in flood prone areas, especially the cape and nantucket, also some road closures are possible due to that as subtropical no, ma'am nickcally high tide and nor'easter pushing it up. in boston, sunny skies, 19 degrees, north wind only 10 miles an hour. we'll take that. a little gust si. the cape and islands, 35, 45 miles an hour wind gusts. do have an improvement on that as well. future cast, 4:00 today, wind gusts subsiding 20 or less. for the cape and islands. of course no wind concerns back currently sitting at 19, boston, 19 more wood. plymouth county mut at 25 degrees. sunny there in norwood. temperatures in the lower 30s at 2:00 today. those patriots watch parties not looking too bad. in fact, i do expect just a few sunset today. 30 to 35 in boston of a bright start winds taper off. 29 in worcester today, 32 for hyannis, beverly, you're at 31. let's get to future casts. no precipitation, no rain, no snow. just this disturbance that will pass through overnight. overnight hours, a little cloud blanket overhead to keep temperatures from plummeting all the way down. still seasonably cold but with snow packed on the ground, you can get a lot colder than what we see here. upper teens and lower 20s. a seasonably cold start to your monday. seven-day forecast does warm up by tuesday, we have a southwest wind flow. that will bump our temperatures into the lower 40s with a slight chance of a shower or two. then on wednesday, upper 30s behind the front as it clears out. thursday, it will be a little cooler. and then we'll watch for next weekend models indicating a storm way off shore but just mentioning a chance for snow in case that sneaks a little closer to us. heather and gene back to you. >> heather: time now 8:21. and there are some big concerns at a local hospital about staff safety. one nurse telling fox 25 that there have not been enough changes in the past year since a deadly shooting took place at that hospital. no you the feds are weighing in. what they had to say

what he does. many supporters have told reporters that almost nothing could make them change their and trump did ramp things up with his comments yesterday again. take a listen. >> they say i have the most loyal people. did you of see that, where i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay, like incredible. >> heather: trump's comments there, really striking a nerve for some. it comes as the debate about gun violence has taken center stage in the political arena and after highly publicized mass shootings. >> gene: in if greater boston area, people making the best of the cold, wet, snowy saturday. in walpole, caught up with folks at the raven's nest, local watering hole. it's a nice place, i'll tell you that. those hanging out there watching the rest of the east coast suffer for a change. >> we're very hardy up here. dc, forget, philly those guys have no idea what they're doing. we've been through it, we're all good. >> gene:

can't be hand. 8:25 this morning. snow is over. but not without leaving about a foot in some areas. coverage of the nor'easter continuesful we'll check in with the aftermath. >> jason: we're getting pictures in social media accounts of heavy snow totals. i'll share those with you and tell you when we could see warmer readings ahead. >> reporter: flooding continues as high tide is just hours away.

>> heather: and this morning, people here in massachusetts and really up and down the east coast waking up to scenes like this, that they will have to dig out from. this is richmond, virginia right here, where the snow and blowing wind causes, as you can see, whiteout conditions for people down there. in arlington national cemetery. but you have to look at these images, it is powerful. the blizzard has this site closed at the arlington national cemetery but a soldier stands guard at the tomb of the unknown solder why. he was there throughout the storm. >> heather: remarkable. >> gene: it is 24th of january, hope your day is off to a great start, i'm gene lavanchy. >> heather: i'm heather hegedus. we have coverage this storm this morning. stephanie coueignoux is back in scituate

really nice to see the sun out there. >> jason: yes, not a bad sunday overall. a little more than expected in boston. those bans lifted north ward. dusting in chelmsford, leominster and not even that. big differences across a very short distance with this nor'easter. the cape taking the blunt of it as expected. right now that lull moving well east of our coastline. leaving in its wake, some coastal flooding concerns. but temperatures today in the lower 30s. with sunshine moving in to the cape and islands as well. but that's where we're concerned with the 11:00 high tide for some overwash and the roads could get some water into the basements in those normally flood prone areas. more on that straight ahead. >> heather: our team coverage morning. where now for the second day in a row, flooding concerns remain. >> gene: fox 45's stephanie coueignoux is there this morning and an a report on how things are progressing right now. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: and gene, in just the last 30 minutes, it seems like the waves picked up a little bit but the evwas as well. there, some of the waves crashing -- oh my goodness, it is gusting out there. high decide is 11:00 a.m. scituate officials are saying they expect minor to moderate flooding. this is something we're going to have to monitor very closely over the next several hours. meantime, flooding continues to be an issue elsewhere. in fact, this is video from plymouth. no flooding issues there yesterday. but emergency management said again today, there could also be moderate to minor flooding there. taylor avenue, that he's one street that they specifically mentioned. they do have 150 snowplows out on the road yesterday to clear all of the roads to hopefully minimize the issue if that flooding did occur because those roads would be clear later on today and this morning. i've already seen about five or they've done a superb job. wind also an issue. in fact, you could hear a few minutes ago, you could hear, i couldn't get the words out. it was just that wind gust. i'll have the latest for the minutes. in scituate, stephanie coueignoux, fox news. >> gene: parts of coastal new jersey under water. this is

clearly got the worse in our area. again. jim morelli live in sandwich this morning. about a foot of snow fell. but this morning, the real story >> reporter: yeah, it certainly is. and we're seeing a trend here that we hope does not continue. it has to do with power outages. when we got down here this morning, there were 81 customers out in barnstable and a handful in other places on the cape. i reported half an hour ago that we had about 22 customers newly out. we now have 39 customers without power in sandwich. and something new in dennis, about 140 customers eversource reporting now without power and you got to believe it's this wind. apparently, it has dropped a little bit. although i certainly haven't felt that. the wind has been 25, 35 miles an hour. so the wind a big concern. possibility of more power outages. we hope not. but we got to think it might happen with the way it is flowing out here. the other concern, of course, is flooding. there is that coastal flood warning until 2:00. it goes until 2:00 because high tide comes in here at 11:11. minor to moderate flooding is what's expected. live in sandwich. jim morelli, fox 25 news. >> gene: and as we've been reporting

of snow northward, lift the forecast yesterday evening for a higher amount in boston. the other areas clobbered, the cape and islands as expected. you can see here not much at all as you went farther to the north and west, even more there in southern new hampshire. there goes the nor'easter, last of the flurries wrapped up a moment or so ago. meanwhile the coastal flood flood prone areas, particularly the northeast facing the shores of the cape and nantucket really need to be on guard. second. back to you. >> gene: the cape and islands got the worse of the storm in our area, this video taken by crews early yesterday as they sandwich. visibility was a big problem in a lot of areas of the roadways. this morning, as we mentioned snow no longer falling on the cape. in fact, it's moved out to sea for all of us. >> heather: absolutely. but fox 25 jim morelli is in sandwich continuing with our team coverage and all morning hang, long you've been reporting to us a wind being a real problem there. >> reporter: yeah and it's now feeling consequences. an increasing number of power outages down here. i don't want to overstate the case, it's not like we've got massive black outs. but they are rising. in hyannis, in dennis, 140 here in sandwich, just about 14 without power. you got to believe that this it. it e it seems to be diminishing a little bit of you it's still quite strong. i'm going to step out of the way and show you the ocean. the high tide is coming in at 11:11 today. and the big concern is there may be some coastal flooding. again, even though there's a coastal flooding warning, they're not talking about major. minor to moderate flooding. i think there's -- i'm sorry. the hat almost came off here. the wind is that strong. but i think we have seen the wave height increase a little bit. so even though the winds may be diminishing, the winds are really roaring in here. really a miserable morning. if you're waking up without power, quite a chilly one as well. jim morelli. >> heather: i have an extra fox 25 hat, in case you lose that we've been monitoring scituate for the past 24 hours and the storms over there as well but the wind and flooding are issues there. >> gene: yeah, fox 45's stephanie coueignoux is there. stephanie, coming up at 11:30 they're worried about the tide. but likewise, the wind is blowing pretty strong. >> reporter: oh, yeah, the wind gusts keep on coming. the sun finally peaking out of the clouds. so some good news. also good news, eversource now reporting all 622 power out knowledge -- outages now been restored. look at this, all of that snow, a coating of ice now. slippery conditions out there. once again, that american flag whipping around. also whipping around, take a look at the either with a. its now starting to churn a little bit more. those waves starting to grow a little higher. and evwe've been seeing this water level rising throughout the morning. some of the sea walls now being covered as that tide continues to rise. 11:11 is high tide. because of all of that, scituate has extra staffing this morning. they are expecting some minor to moderate flooding in their usual places, including sand hills. and, again, we're going to continue to monitor those waves certainly picking up as that wind continues to whip around this morning. but we had seen some preparations already underway throughout this morning and also other towns preparing yesterday as well. coming up in 30 minutes, we're going to detail out this preparations for you. in scituate, i'm stephanie coueignoux, fox 25 news. >> gene: all right. stephanie, new this morning, if you're trying to fly out, it is going to be challenging. weather trend in all flights especial the at local rooej airports, especially barnstable, martha's vineyard. be sure to check flights. because airlines are working more than 10,000 flights across the country were cancelled over the last two days. airports in philadelphia and washington, d.c. are still working to dig out after totally stopping operations yesterday. and in new york, the storm went well into the morning. planes sitting armed at jfk and la guardia, unable to move because of all of the snow. even though we didn't get hit as bad, logan airport still did have some problems our very own shiri spear tweeted this out late last night she got stuck after landing, because there were no free gates she had to wait it out on the tarmac. >> heather: what a mess. an emergency parking ban is over in one community. newton's ban was lifted at the start of our 6:00 hour. the police department there telling fox 25 that ban was issued late last night but no cars had to be towed. and the major storm did not stop people from heading out to times square in new york city yesterday. the fox 25 morning news yesterday morning, it looked like a ghost town out there. walking around, throwing snowballs. still the blizzard did catch the city that never sleeps off guard with totals in some areas that were nearly doubled what were predicted and did lead to serious conditions to report to you as well. this morning, that storm is being claimed for at least 18 deaths in five states. from the carolinas to new york, tens of thousands of people to our south were without power overnight. chris welch reporting one of the hardest hit areas our nation's capital. >> reporter: an epic and slow moving storm knocked out power for thousands. shut down cities, emptied airports and grounded flights. what's worse, this historic storm has become deadly. killing people from north carolina to new york. >> this is bad and it is getting worse rapidly. >> reporter: drivers in several states stranded on the road. even emergency vehicles having trouble. >> this is a historic snowstorm. this is a huge challenge. hundreds of cars stranded for hours on the turnpike, including buses of high school students. in central kentucky some drivers stuck on the enter state for 19 hours having to decide whether to stay warm and keep their cars running or conserve gas. in new york, the governor imposed a travel ban for parts of the state to encourage people to go inside. >> the situation is getting worse. >> reporter: the city that never sleeps will be a little quieter, all broadway shows cancelled bridge bridges and tunnels leading into and out of the city are closed. and the nypd enforcing the ban. you can see how massive this storm is from outer space and will continue throughout the weekend with more people in its path. in washington, i'm chris welch reporting. >> heather: we have just learned that travel ban in new york state was lifted at 7 a.m. so people can travel again through that area. >> gene: take a look at this. this is how the new york's governor cuomo helping a man to get out of the snow. attaching a pole there and henge him get out of the mess. so certainly a lifelong supporter there perhaps or somebody whose vote he can count on in the future. today's issue of the daily news taking on the brady manning rivalry by photo shopping "star wars" onto the quarterback. game time 3:00 this afternoon. of course denver, colorado will be the center of our sports universe as the patriots and broncos kick off the afc championship game. the super bowl is on the line for the mood of the teams and the town for that matter, we join butch stearns live in the mile high city this morning, where the sun is finally coming out there. >> reporter: yes. yes, gene. the sun is finally shining, just about 7:00 here in denver. it is game day. and the brady manning story line is clearly the biggest story line in this game for the afc championship. you know the conventional wisdom says peyton manning has to win this game with his were a. left in that forward to get it done. don't tell that to the patriots because the process are not underestimating manning. >> he's peyton manning and when you hear about him, everybody knows who he is, you can't underestimate him. he's a baller and he's playing good. he's going to lead his team. and we're going to try to do the same thing, go out there and try to get this w. >> i have a lot of respect for him. everything he's done in his career. and you know, the way he's playing now, still impressive. and i mean, we definitely have to be ready on our toes. >> reporter: when we look at the tail of the tape, brady has clearly had the better seasonal. every quarterback had a better season than peyton manning. looking at the interceptions. 17 interceptions for manning this year. of course, the history between the two of them. brady is 11 and 5 against manning. but manning has won two of the three afc championships against each other. can throw out all of the numbers and all of the stats, because the bottom line is one of those two legendary quarterbacks will be going back to a super bowl and the bottom line of the patriots at the end of this day, either they're going home or going to their record breaking 9th super bowl. either way, we'll have it all covered. tom leydon and myself and our crew out here, so from now, from denver, i'm butch stearns, back to you gene. >>

evening hours. and then as the overnight progressed. things started to get better. we were -- definitely didn't measure up to anything we had last year. it was still a significant blow. >> gene: if you were talking about inches of snow, can you give us a rough estimate as to how many you got? >> yeah, roughly to 9 and a half inches in downtown area and southern parts of town up to a foot. >> gene: what's your biggest concern after the storm, the live shot there and the wind really whipping up this morning? >> yeah, the wind is still churning and 11:00 high tide is what we're watching now

through, but this was a lay up compared to what we >> yeah, it was definitely on the piles last year -- and, again, all of the work that the dpw, the police, fire, everybody did an excellent job. >>

this morning that will see some coastal flooding, heard from jim and stephanie there situate add at the coast. east facing shore lines are most concerned about the overwash, some road closures, even some water coming up into those normally flood prone basements. if you live in those areas, you can expect that potential today. now gusty winds are still out there. 35 to 38 miles an hour. hyannis over toward nantucket ket. the good news is, wind gusts will subside. there's 4.30. so up towards sunset. not dealing with much more of that wind. only 20 miles an hour gusts with standard fair.

2012 and 2013. apparently, that's because the instruments that were used weren't properly disinfected. the hospital says they think there's a relatively low chance anyone was actually infected. >> i'm extremely confident that patients were at low risk. but now our job is to be certain there was no patient harm. >> heather: the hospital says they have notified all affected patients and do hope to have the results of the r of the testing phase within a few weeks. in the meantime, concerns at another local hospital, this one nurse telling fox 25 there have not been enough changes in the past

stephanie coueignoux is there this morning, assessing the situation at this hour. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: gene, certainly blustery conditions throughout the morning. that is cause, the waves right here behind me to churn up a little built. it was relatively calm just a few hours ago but you can see those peaks, crests starting to build. with that high tide coming up at around 11:00 a.m., you can see the water line creeping up this wall. in, fat, some of those waves are splashing up onto those rocks. a big concern for folks here in scituate. in fact, the town is saying they're expecting a potential minor to moderate flooding. and that's also an issue, you know, along the coast. in fact, this is video from plymouth. this is from yesterday. there yesterday. but emergency management is saying that area could see flooding again today. in fact, they were mentioning taylor avenue specifically. they also said they had about 150 snowplows out on the roads. and they were clearing all of the snow. not just to make it easier for drivers. but also ahead of that flooding, so if the roads started flooding, it would be a little bit easier to handle that situation throughout the morning here in scituate. we have seen similar. in fact, a snowplow actually just driving by the road down here. we've been seeing quite a few. good news, though, if you're waking up here in scituate. we've been mentioning power outages all morning long. about an hour ago, no reported outages. all of that has been restored. about 162 customers at one point throughout the morning had no
