more than 50 million americans are bracing for a massive late winter storm. heavy snow is already creating treacherous driving conditions across the midwest and this is just a taste of what's to come. two systems are expected to combine over the mid-atlantic states. forecasters say the storm will slam the northeast late tonight and tomorrow. >> and get this. the nor'easter is forecasted to dump heavy snow all along the i-95 corridor. new york city could see between 1 and 2 feet of hello. boston will get up to 18 edges. dean reynolds is in chicago where snow has been falling for hours. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, more than 400 flights have been canceled at o'hare international airport in chicago so far today and that's likely to increase as this storm has a cascading effect on other airports over much of the country. mid-march seems more like the middle of winder. heavy snow and ice blanketed the midwest overnight making it nearly impossible to see the roads and sending some cars careening off of them. >> very slippery. whiteout conditions. visibility is pretty much nonexistent. >> reporter: several cars were stranded on snowy south dakota roads.

snowstorm of the winter. lonnie quinn of our wbz-tv has more. you heard how bad it can get. >> chicago, you're talking 4 to 8 inches today. but this system in chicago, let me show you how it's going to interact with the system around the gulf of mexico. it's not really all ha big, but it's going be a combination of the two. they're going to push toward the carolinas. we expect they're going to be somewhere around the outer banks. this is one. then it tracks to the northeast. if it hugs the shoreline, all the shorelines will be getting rain. but if, however, it goes a little bit further to the east and this is where we believe it's going to go, then we're washington, d.c. all the way up to new england. timing looks like this. 6:00 a.m. snow in new york city. you go through your day. 1:00 p.m., heavy snow in boston as well. then you wind things down. tomorrow night to early wednesday morning with just some snow bands up in northern new england. how much snow. the crazy part about this

boston, 12 to 18. this is a lot of snow. for new york city, just for example, it's possible we could double it tomorrow. i to think new york could be in the 12- to 16-inch range. >> wow. lonnie, thank you so much. by the end of the day we may -- there we go. demarco morgan. hey, demarco. >> reporter: good morning. this is just one of the many salt storage facilities in the city that's getting ready

emergency system will be activated sometime later this evening and all state agencies are on heightened alert as we speak. for those of you at home who may be wondering is this the first time for a blizzard in march, absolutely not. it's rare. it happened in 1993 and way back in 1988. this time last year the city got up to 32 inches of snow. this year we're sitting at 22 inches. new york, i remember two years ago, the subway commuter trains in and around the city had to be shut down. we're hoping's not the case this time around. we'll have to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. we'll send things back to you. by the end of the day we should be able to hear the cost of the health care plan and how many people it will cover. the analysis expected to show that fewer americans will have health coverage under the proposal. house speaker paul ryan told our john dickerson he does not know how many will be affected. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the importance of the cbo numbers. good morning. >> good morning and welcome back. that's a lot of numbers. administration officials were out in force arguing that no matter what the numbers show, they're wrong. >>

said. >> they have not been good about providing good statisticing. >> reporter: they've already revealed it could looft 10 to 15 million americans to lose coverage. it cuts pack subsidies, cuts coverage. >> how many will be affected? >> i can't answer that question. >> house speaker paul ryan told "face the nation" it will unleash coverage. >> what we're trying to do is bringing down the cost or karks insurance, not through government monopolies but by having more choice in the competition. >> but he's facing opposition by congressmen like tom cotton of arkansas. >> i don't want to see the house majority put a risk on a bill that's not going to pass the senate. that's why i think we should take a pause. >> they're still encountering opposition back hoemt too. it cuts taxes for the wealthy that were inpofld to help with it. >> this has nothing to do with health care. what it has everything to do with is shifting to the very richest people of the country. >> the head was chosen by republican leaders which could complicate their efforts to pan his calculations and this cbo score could be critical, gayle, republicans get on board. >> thank you so much. we're all watching. there's a claim that his phones were tapped. there's no proof to back up the charges he made more than a week ago. margaret brennan is at the white house with pressure coming from other republicans. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. it was a working weekend at white house from dew point who avoided claim last week. it's an unsubstantiated claim that president obama wiretapped his phone. >> i have no reason to believe that the charge is true. >> but on sunday fellow congressman john mccain says it cannot be i ignored. >> the president has one of two choices, either retract or provide information that the american people deserve because if his pred set sore violated the law, we've got a serious issue. >> kellyanne conway said that's not the only method of surveillance. >> there was an article that you can survey someone through their fones. >> speaker paul ryan did not expect to get any. former trump campaign aide roger stone has previously denied having >> he did claim to have conversation with doan. and alt the time ee he was. now, the house intelligence committee has asked the justice department to turn over any proof they might have of the wire tapping by the end of today. charlie. >> >> margaret, thank you so much. cbs news moderator of "face the nation," john dickerson is with us. >> good morning. >> the king has returned. >> the court is in session. >> yes. i have many questions. i've been following this. it seems to me that it might be a problem in selling this if they can't tell you who's going to be covered. >> well, that's a big numb befrmt and the white house and is on obama will be covered. in fact, the president went furth further. he said, everybody will be covered. it will come up with a number that will be bad. it centers on the uncertainty. >> is it possible that the people who are part of the core supporters of donald trump will lose some of their coverage and rise up against it? >> there's been plenty of analysis to show that. it's the trump voter who has the most to be fearful about. also the plan that paul ryan has put forward is the thee. he's done a lot of work. he believes in it passionately and thinks it will cover more people but the other colleagues have to face face the political sector that's not going to look good. promise. we saw a clip from a year ago where donald trump said it will be cheap, more people will be covered, it will be better. yet the republicans have had two years. it's not all on the same page. >> have you ever gone out to dinner with high school friends? you can all agree you're hungry but what about where you're going to eat >> how can you predict when you don't know how much it's going to cost. >> that's the point. that's why they're saying, hey, wait a minute, slow down. you want to get it right. if you pass a bill and it doesn't work out and you rushed through, critics have a reason. >> speaking of facts on evidence, one other thing you have seen any evidence of this charge that the president wiretapped -- >> of eight. he gets the most sense active information, so i asked him did you see any proof of this wiretap that president trump said exists. he said no. that ice another person. that's such an incendiary charge for the president to have made. >> how will it work out? >> there are two committees looking at this and they'll be rendering a judgment yay or nay whether this happened. what did he have to make this claim? did he have something to put it on or did he do it on a women. >> the president's budget is out. we're going to see it. we're going to see a big change. >> shrink government, stop spending money on stupid stuff. >> thesh proposed it's likely to it. that's since anyone has seen. the cutting of the worse force. >> not just the snow storm but
