>> leon, this storm has certainly made its mark on the northeast. the most incredible images we've seen have been from coastal massachusetts. they haven't seen stuff like this since the blizzard of '78. in fact, they tied a record 15-foot high tide. you had near whiteout conditions in new york. the storm crippling many places in the northeast. airports, they're starting to pickup again. at last check there were than 2700 delays. dulles international airport tells us it handled 24 international flight diversions and seven domestic flight diversions also here. ohio was shut in, frozen to death on his front porch and two men in their 50s on long island died from apparent heart attacks while shoveling snow. those deaths are among the 20 or so people who have died during the storm. at the live desk, i'm erika gonzalez. >> just sounds awful. thank you, erika. now, this weather is going to be brutal. that's why you need to have the nbc washington app on your phone. get the power of storm team4 any time anywhere. >> we are following some breaking news in maryland where a former school aide who was accused of abusing dozens of boys and trying to transmit hiv has now pled guilty. carlos bell faced dozens of charges related to alleged abuse of 42 under aged boys. bell had been county schools since 2014 working most recently at stoddard middle school in waldorf. he also coached track at la plata high. investigators say he was h.i.v. positive and tried to transmit the virus. they are not aware of his victims contracting it. >> dramatic video you saw on 4, we pushed it on the nbc washington app. it shows the end of a police chase that brought traffic to a halt last week. >> news4's david culver is the first to get a look at how close those bullets came to hitting the officers and other drivers. david is live in stafford to walk us through more of this video. david? >> reporter: it is absolutely remarkable video, wendy and leon. i just got my hands on it within the past hour as i met with the stafford county sheriff. and you're about to see it, i'm about to walk you through it.it. but all of this started, we should getting a call for a man who shot and killed his wife. that suspect was identified as gregory lee. it wasn't too far from here. but in this parking lot, the courthouse parking lot at the time that that call came out, was deputy cody mccormick. he was in a cruiser much like this one. he heard it come across the radio and he immediately took off towards 95. this is the view out of deputy cody mccormick's windshield. going down 95 toward the on ramp. as he turns on, his timing just about perfect. notice the suspect's black suv in the far lane of the highway. a virginia state trooper in pursuit. investigators say the man behind the wheel of that suv, 42-year-old gregory lee, they say he just shot and killed his wife in their herron drive apartment. after a few miles watch the suv swerve into the middle lane. trooper and deputy keeping close. suddenly the driver stops on the highway. watch as he into the left lane. deputy mccormick maneuvering his cruiser on the far-right shoulder. he saw what we couldn't see. i'll slow it down. that's a hand gun pointed out the window. it hit both the troopers and deputy mccormick's windshields. look at the aftermath. the bullet went into his head rest. notice the frayed fabric. incredibly it didn't touch him. he continued with the chase. deputies believe he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. incredibly that was the only serious injury after the chaos on the highway. it is one thing to see the aftermath, the images of that chaos on the highway. another thing to be along with deputy mccormick as he is driving through it and watching it all play out. it is incredible when you see in that moment that the driver puts that gun out the window. it was tough for me to even see that was a gun. ut noticed it, dodged to the left of his vehicle, and moved that cruiser to the side of the road. it was able to escape it quite narrowly. wendy and leon, just something that takes your breath away when you see it for the first time. >> right. and we remember what a crazy awful, complicated afternoon that was. so, it's interesting to see it from the police point of view. thank you, david. >> that's why we have to admire what they do. that's a day at work. amazing. >> you never know. >> they never know. could happen any time. >> never know. >> "fire and fury" is billed as the book president trump doesn't want you to read. the white house tell-all flying off the shelves here in wash as we hear directly from the book's author for the first time. blayne alexander standing by on capitol hill. blayne, we're going to be talking about this all weekend. >> reporter: leon, to give you a sense of how popular this book is, it was cold in washington. it got down to a chilly 13 degrees. that didn't stop plenty of people from coming out to buy the book at midnight. today the book's author is thanking president trump. early delivery, "fire and fury" released four days ahead of schedule and already a best seller. despite threats of legal action from president trump. >> not only is he helping me sell books, but he's helping me prove the point of the book. i mean, it is extraordinary that a president of the united states would try to stop the publication of a book. >> reporter: in a today show exclusive, author michael wolff defending the book that airs dirty white house laundry and calls into question the president's fitness for office. slammed by the white house as complete fantasy. >> should steve bannon be fired? >> reporter: president trump leaving for camp david ignoring shouted questions about his former advisor steve bannon who, in the book, attacks and belittles. president's children but on at which timer unveiling a new nickname, calling him sloppy steve. and on wolff, saying he never spoke to the author on the book. >> i absolutely whether he realized it was an interview or not, i don't know. it certainly was not off the record. >> reporter: another vexing read for the white house, new reporting from "the new york times" that the president sent his top white house lawyer to stop attorney general jeff sessions from recusing himself in the russia investigation which sessions ultimately did anyway. >> the president got very, very angry, saying to white house officials that he needed an attorney general who would protect him. >> reporter: later the president reportedly demanded sessions' resignation which he submitted but president trump did not accept. and it's a safe bet the conversation as round that tell-all book are just getting started. leon and wendy, the author is set to appear on "meet the press" and other shows in the coming days. >> we're going to see a lot of him. >> we're just starting to see. >> exactly. thank you, blayne. a story first seen on news4, a local high school for catholic girls fires a teacher after learning that he's involved in the alt-right movement. the questions about who knew this and what leaders. >> and the desperate search for a missing local man who has dementia, his family speaks out to news4 about why they're not giving up hope after all these days. >> plus, a frigid friday leading into a wicked weekend. doug and amelia back with how cold and why they're keeping a close eye o your daughter wants to stay organic. your husband wants to stay free from artificial ingredients. you want to stay free from artificial preservatives. fill your cart with small victories like giant's nature's promise brand. great prices on over 1,300 items. eat well for less. only at my giant. let's get back to this bitter blast of cold weather, frigid friday. wind chills near 0 tonight. the sun hasn't gone down and we're heading that way. storm team4 weather alert day. >> team coverage on this friday so you can plan your weekend. doug and amelia are back with us in just moments. >> in the meantime, a teacher leading a double life has lost his job. news4's mark segraves broke this story on twitter not too long ago. >> the academy of the holy cross has now fired greg conchi after learning he was a leader in the alt-right movement. conti also goes by the name greg ritter and he is a supporter and advisor to richard spencer. mark is live this afternoon in kensington. mark?

[ inaudible ]. >> we just lost mark's audio, but we will be coming back to this. but, again, greg conti of the holy cross academy in kensington fired now because of his connection to the alt-right group that was part of that charlottesville demonstration and richard spencer who was a leader of that group. he's his advisor. >> all right. let's get over to storm team4 now. dangerous cold settling

we were that cold again last night. and tonight we're going to be equally as cold. maybe a little colder. >> another wind chill advisory effect, this one starting a few until noontime tomorrow. take a look at the headlines, dangerously cold out there again tonight. it's not till monday when temperatures are finally above freezing. so, sunday we are also below 32 degrees for a high. thankfully we lose the wind. and then warmer air moves in next week. doug is going to have more on that coming up in just a moment. but currently our temperatures right now in the teens to around 20 degrees. 20 in washington, gaithersburg actually one of the cooler spots coming in at 15. and 14 back in winchester. but it's all about when you factor in the wind. take a look at these gusts out there right now. anywhere from about 20 to almost 40 miles an hour in leesburg. a wind gust right now of 37. so, what that means is the feels like temperature as you're out walking around in the single digits for just about everybody. feeling about 4 right now in the district, 6 over in annapolis, and then we look up to hagerstown where it's feeling about 4 degrees below 0 already. and as the sun goes down, thankfully sunset is finally after 5:00 p.m. at 5:01 tonight, we're going to see t temperatures drop. everybody here in blue once again under a wind chill advisory. we have the more serious wind chill warning for the blue ridge. back in far western maryland, parts of west virginia. this runs through lunchtime saturday. getting out tomorrow to run errands, make sure you're bundled. we're tracking winds anywhere from about 25 to 35 miles an hour. wind chills during the advisory anywhere from about 15 below to around 0 overnight tonight. some relief on sunday, doug, throughout the day tomorrow as we tralk the wind chill temperatures, just uncomfortable out there. >> very similar to what we've seen out there across our region today. everybody is asking, is this going to be changing? it will, but not tomorrow. and really not for the weekend. take a look. wind chills that we're going to be dealing with as we move on through the day on your saturday, first off tonight's wind chill sitting into the negative numbers already. but notice by 11:00, we're down to 6 below, gaithersburg 2 below in leagues burg. tomorrow morning waking up to numbers around 10 below, 5 to 10 below in many locations and with the wind chill, with the wind 20 below. we did see some wind chills today into the 15 to 20 below region. i think we'll be back there again tomorrow morning and even tomorrow afternoon. here we are 1:00 wind chill close to 0. negative to the north. that's what we've seen across the region today. cold one for sure. cold again tomorrow night if you're going to head out on saturday night. just know you're going to be on the cold side. here we go, a pattern change coming. we have a deep tropical depression. we've had it here for weeks. the pattern has not changed, the cold air has been locked in. the cold air is going to be pulled back to the north and west, in towards the plains. we have a little warmer air starting to come into the southeast. that's going to set the stage for a possible storm next week. but it also does a few things for us, something i think we're going to like. much warmer next week. we're not talking much above average, but temperatures may get above average. the average high is 44. we may get to near 50 by the end of next week and tracking a late week storm, this one i think is really going to be one that we're going to have to watch. we have anoth not tomorrow or sunday we have to watch, but monday. staying on the cold side. and because we've been so cold, the ground is frozen in many areas. any rain that forms on monday, we could see it come down and freeze. we're talking about mostly rain, but may freeze on roadways. that could be a big issue for us on monday afternoon. that's something we'll watch. but here comes the warmer temperatures. near 50 on tuesday. pretty nice during the day on wednesday. now, thursday and friday another chance of rain. right now is what we're calling for, but i expect this to change. we'll continue to keep you posted on everything going on weather wise. amelia and i are here all night and all weekend and all next week and really we can't leave. >> glamorous job, isn't it? >> that's by

feels a little bit better. here's monday. we're going to 39 degrees, but even at 39 we could still have some problems. let's talk a little bit more about that monday forecast. amelia, this is not a big storm, but it may be just big enough to cause some problems. a >> yeah, it's one of those storms in our area where it's so light and the chance for it to be so disastrous is kind of tiny, but if it does pan out, it could wreak havoc on the evening commute. here's what we're thinking right now. remember, it's friday so you need to tune in over the weekend to update the forecast. schools likely okay on monday. i think the kids will get home no problem. the morning commute looking dry. it's the evening commute where we'll be tracking some light rain showers across the area and the chance for ice and here's why. take a look at your future temperatures. i'm starting you off monday right around lunch time. notice monday at lunch we're still below that freezing mark. so, surfaces, especially roads, sidewalks still frozen. it's not until we hitut in the afternoon where we finally see our temperatures go above freezing. at that point some rain starts to move into the area. so, as the evening commute gets underway 5:00, 6:00 p.m., it's only been a few hours that our temperatures have actually been above freezing and with that i think it's one of those events where we could see rain falling, but as it hits the surface, it freezes. that's the name, freezing rain. my biggest concern monday is the mason dick son line and areas back winchester, leesburg, hagerstown and martinsburg. something we'll continue to keep a close eye on. road conditions monday morning and around the midday hours dry. during the evening hours i think we could be dealing with some slick spots. but, again, any rain that falls will be very light. so, if we can get those surfaces above freezing this is going to be a very low impact event. after that it's going to feel like the caribbean around here. >> that's right. we're going for a high of 48 degrees on tuesday. it's amazing when you think about it, well above twice where and we stay that way right on through the middle of next week. 45 on your wednesday, 49 on thursday. chance of rain coming in late thursday night into friday. this is another storm. i'm going to be watching very closely. some of the computer models and and you guys will love these computer models. they have us in the 60s with some rain coming in. 60s would be great, but i wouldn't be surprised if this system kind of stalls out and keeps things a little bit colder, maybe even brings us some snow, ice and all that stuff. i'm going optimistic right now. just letting you know. >> downtown harsh our bods. come on, i have something to live for now, 60 degrees. >> thanks, doug. >> we have a consumer alert, romaine lettuce may be the source of a nationwide e. coli outbreak. >> u.s. health officials are not ready to say definitively that's what the source of this is. let's get right to our consumer reporter susan hogan working for you with important information you need to know. >> that's right. lets archigo let's get right to it. in canada and the united states, 58 people in toetdal have gotten sick. two people have died, one in the united states, that was in california, and now also in canada. this is according to the centers for disease control. according to the cdc, the infections occurred in 13 states, including virginia, pennsylvania and ohio. canadian health authorities identified romaine lettuce as the source of the e. coli outbreak in canada. u.s. health officials are investigating. they are interviewing people who are sick to determine what they ate in the week right before their illness. u.s. officials have not issued a recall nor are they warning you against eating romaine lettuce. however, other food safety experts at consumer reports are advise youing to stop eating the lettuce just out of precaution. the cdc did confirm, though, that the type of e. coli in the canadian cases is similar to what's making the round here and what's making people sick in the >> this is the kind of thing that can be washed off of the lettuce? >> this is a strain that cannot be washed off. i had romaine lettuce last night. i didn't even know about this when we were eating it so this is one of those things where it cannot be washed off. the other thing is, we were talking about it -- >> you had it last week. >> i had it. unlike neurovirus, e. coli, these symptoms won't appear for five to seven days. that's what the cdc is battling with as well. they have to wait for the symptoms. it's one of those things people think, if i eat it last night, am i going to get sick in 24 hours. that most likely is a neurovirus. >> we could have eaten it a week a go. >> right. healthy people, you know, you're not going to feel these symptoms. if you're unhealthy, your children would. you might get cramps or bloody diarrhea which are the common symptoms of e. coli, but you'll be fine. it's in thel those are the people you have to be mindful of as well. again, five to seven days is that window of when things would occur. >> it incubates. >> if something does happen and you have had it, you really should let your public health officials know. >> you can't wash it off. you think that's what makes you sick no matter what. >> it's yucky. thank you, susan. >> sure. >> the anticipation is building in the world of winter olympics. it's becoming clearer who is going to make it to the team usa. some say veteran ashley
