that has upset the u.s. military. uwell, i have to tell you much of the east coast is still being pounded. the storm is being blamed for at least 18 deaths. about 750,000 homes and businesses lost power. the storm is also effected some of the country's busiest airports, roughly 6400 flights have been canceled. stranded passengers have been stuck in airports for hours. and people actually use skis to get around washington, d.c. which is paralyzed by the snowfall. mayor city mayor is on the defensive. during a news conference today, the major said the heavy snow came faster than expected and sanitation crews struggle to keep up. during a morning rush.

well, the teachers union, criticized for keeping the city's public schools open during near blizzard conditions. my on the storm, okay, i am looking around you, it looks like you have a slushy mess out there. >> i am thinking right now being stuck at an airport doesn't sound that terrible compared to what is being seen out here. mother nature not holding anything back. at a rate of two to four inches an hour, before it turns into what you are seeing now. this slushy mixture, although it is expected it will turn back into snow later this evening. the city has declare add state of emergency, and

the mayor has increased the winter weather budget. he has raised it by 60%, to $92 million that money will go toward maintenance, crews, equipment, and of course one of the big challenges to date is open cooing those streets cleared. and in brooklyn, a woman a pregnant woman was struck by a snowplow. and she was actually killed. we unction that her unborn child was delivered by c section, and that child is said to be in critical condition. ten that's an example of just the deadly nature of this storm, and the difficulty that the screws are having trying to keep the streets clear. new jersey has a state of emergency, the schools are closed for the fifth time this year. schools are also closed in boston. so the whole northeast area is getting hit by this storm.

>> it is. appreciate it, so the storm isn't done with the east coast just yet. a look at the path, over the next few hoursble kevin. >> closer to the south where they were dealing with a lot of icing in the carolinas. you can see that is pretty much gone. at 46, at lan 25 is at 45 degrees. pretty much for them it is a done deal. so for washington, d.c., right here, you can see they had rain. now it is turning back, and once the system comes back it will be turning back to snow. we did have a break, picking up rain sweat some more icing and more snow coming into play.

here in central park, 9 1/2 inches it was quite pretty there, but over towards new york which is out on long island, they saw about 14 inches of snow. we are not over with it yet. especially across parts of new york, that's going to be really big snow event there, they expect to see another 30 inches of snow. boston can see up to 12. 11:00 o'clock this evening all the way to 6:00 o'clock tomorrow morning. and washington, well you will probably only see about one to two more inches. tomorrow, things will be better, but we will see light snow across pennsylvania. up towards the northern part of new england, so we will keep you informed on this. nose snow totals continue to rise. >> about 25,000 of those

are in atlanta. maybe you can cecotto me on my numbers here. on what looks like a darn nice day. >> it is what kevin just said, way have had the temperatures go up to almost 45 degrees here. and very quickly. this morning when way were reporting lye, it was still snowing the roads were completely iced over, but what a difference 12 hours makes. most of that is gone. the snow gone from the grass here. so the city seems to be back to normal. i was just off the phone with georgia power, about 20n't manies ago, they tell me about 165,000 outages are statewide right now. as the day has gone by, about 25,000, and an isolated to the very southern suburbs of the city.

pretty much nothing to the north where i am right now. a p showing parking loot, where people have decided to come out of their houses because the storm has passed and they are back into normal life. i don't think anyone imagined that 12 hours later we would have a scene like this, where it is almost like we didn't have a storm here. but certainly, yesterday that was not the feeling. >> so tomorrow, kids are back in school, and businesses are open and functioning. >> exactly. the ice situation that the governor reminded people of to be careful. looks like we won't really have that. lukes like somebody is trying to get by you, a

taxi cab or something, look out. joining me more with the power outages, she is a spokesperson for georgia power, kathryn i appreciate your taking the time. let me check these numbers with you. you have about 165,000 customers still without power subpoena is that accurate? we have our lines out there working to ensure power as quickly as possible, and it is going down practically by the minute. it is about 81 now now. >> 158,000 plus. and where are most of the outages right now? in the state. >> so the really heavy damage. in the southern part of atlanta, so that continues to be ask area we are, workerring on.
