activity. you don t make it a scourge of something the kid has to eat. you want the kid to clean the plate-they get anything. the more adults, i m as guilty as the rest, bring broccoli and fresh carrots, green, leafy vegetables into their normal diets, kids look up to us. if you re eating on the fast, in front of the television, that s what kids emulate. we have to sit down at the table more often, make vegetables a part of what we do together as a family and make it a part of the diet. the earlier you start, the better. there s always bribing. cold, hard cash. here s the cookie at the end of the meal. you hate to resort to the bribery part. thanks for joining us today. weather warning of dangerous blizzards and icing conditions for 30 states. when and where, that s what s topping the news now. everybody s talking about honey bunches of oats. whoa.with cinnamon! it s got warm, freshly baked cinnamon in one delicious heart healthy cereal.
thrust and had to make an emergency landing, but it s a rare event and pilots are doing what they can to avideo them and when they can t they manage the situation, what we need is a better program of mitigating the risks and their habitats, ground and finding ways of detecting them if they re flying, migratory through the area. were there any modifications done to the airplane engines to make them safer and to screen out the birds? is that a possibility? well, of course, as you can imagine, the jet engine has to have an unimpeded flow of air into the intake part of the engine and that s especially important in icing conditions that there be no surface around the opening of the engines that might ice up and block the flow of air. so there are technical innovations if terms of weight and material and cost, but there are people looking at that and i think that the best way forward at this moment is to have airports nowhere near
and the heaviest snow so far has fallen in southern arkansas and parts of texas and oklahoma. on top of that, parts of mississippi and alabama are expecting their worst icing conditions in more than a decade. governors in a number of southern states are simply telling people to stay home today to avoid all those dangerous conditions on the roadways. been through it here in the northeast. welcome to it. states of emergency have been declared in louisiana, alabama, georgia and tennessee. what is next? and where is this huge storm going next? accuweather meteorologist ava dinges has the latest. hi, ava. good morning, rob and vinita. vinita, you mentioned the northeast has been through it. they may be going through it again into the upcoming days and it will be because of these storms. two storms right now. one in the southeast bringing the heavy snow. also the icing and another one on the heels in the plains bringing up to a foot of snow in cities like omaha and kansas city. obvious
they ll be caught off guard by this major winter storm. and we have not only the heavy snow, mainly north of atlanta, but also that icing. and parts of i-20, absolutely treacherous travel conditions. in fact, south of i-20 right now, many counties are closed right now into central alabama because of the icing conditions. and we expect these emergencies to continue at least through most of tuesday. then we ll continue to track that heavy snow building across the carolinas as well where even charlotte could see 3 to 6 inches. we are expecting widespread travel delays not only across the interstates but also at the airports as well. many flights have already been canceled and that s going to be the story as we go throughout the day. some places may be getting upwards of 6 even 12 inches of snow. for atlanta, this mainly changing over to an icy mix. here is yet to come for the northeast. they re not in the clear. these two snowstorms are going to come together and create a disruptive snows
northeast corridor. and actually, we sit down and make decisions based upon not only the snow, but the wind and the ice and whether or not we feel that the trip would go from point a to point b, and the experts we use within our transportation and engineering department determined yesterday it wasn t prudent to send people out in those conditions with the fear they would not be able to make it to the end point. so we do deal with snow. the trains can run with snow, we have mechanisms built in on the tracks to alleviate icing conditions. so we can deal with snow better than some of the other modes of transportation, but when you get a storm of this magnitude, again, just to play it safe, that s the decision we would make 100% of the time. what kind of impact are you seeing from all of those air travelers. all those folks who, you know, saw their flights scrubbed for perhaps a couple of days now. they probably will be going to the train station i would imagine.
