thousands of cars frozen. flights canceled. 500 so far today. >> and it's not over yet. much of the country is expected to plunge into bone-chilling cold like we haven't seen in a decade. we're keeping an eye on the winter blast but first we get the latest from alexandra field. >> reporter: the massive storm that pummeled new york is followed by a massive response. but plummeting temperatures have officials warning that some of the most dangerous conditions are still ahead of us. >> the best option today is to stay close to home. the best option is to not be outside too long. >> reporter: new york's city may bill de blasio shoveled his own driveway, despite the bitter windchill that prompted schools to keep kids home friday. >> it's nasty out. really nasty. if i could have stayed home, i would have stayed home.

stay home. if you don't have to come out, stay home. >> reporter: new york city saw almost 8 inches of snow. a foot of snow fell on long island during the worst of the storm thursday night into friday morning, a driving ban kept cars off of some of new york's busiest interstates. the long island expressway shut down for eight hours because of blizzard conditions. holiday travelers were stopped in their tracks. passengers were grounded in new york city's airports. >> when i talked to them, they said it's going to be a couple days before the next flight. i thought i'd buy myself a bus ticket. >> reporter: that might be one option for people fight get out. but when to do if you're stuck at home waiting for that snow to clear. >> my plan is to wake up early tomorrow, look out the window, see what it looks like. get the snowblower out, try to get to work. >> reporter: if that's the case, connecticut's governor has some advice for you, too. >> if you want some tips on how to deal with the cold, first of all, i'll give you mine. don't put your tongue on a flag

pole. >> all right. making light of the situation there, obviously, a good piece of advice, though. but the truth here, we have to underscore this point is that it's going to be dangerously cold. the mercury fell close to zero degrees in new york city last night. that's the coldest temperature they've seen since january of 1994. we'll get a little warmup, apparently, coming today. but then it's back to those birly cold temperatures, aluisson, victory. >> alexandra field out there. stay warm. >> not looking forward to that. >> it's cold here in atlanta. you don't have to wait until you get to new york. hey, this weather is causing problems for buses, look at this, bus crash in patterson. this is in new jersey. the transit bus apparently hit a patch of ice on a hill. slid backward. and just right into that store. now, the driver was the only one on board. and was just hurt a bit -- slightly hurt. but he'll be okay.

heading our way. but initially, we'll have a ban of snow showers, storm system move across the southern plains over the next 24 hours or so. it is going to bring a fair amount of snow showers through portions of indianapolis, cleveland, all the way to chicago. 7 to 10 incheses of snowfall through monday before this tapers off. detroit could get 10 inches. once this is all past, monday morning into monday night, some of the coldest temperatures we've seen since the 21st centuries. really, the last time we saw temperatures this cold, look at buffalo, going down to the 20s. that seems rather warm right there. detroit, 7 is your high temperature. washington getting up to 43. there's an initial warming trend sunday and monday across the northeast. in new york you go from the 30s, up to the 40s. even 49 by monday. but we think by tuesday and wednesday, that's when the coldest air is going to move in towards the region. there's the culprit out of the canada. a severe plunge of arctic air.

moving as far south as the high temperatures, the best we can do, chicago, 9 on sunday. 10 below is the high temperature on monday. in fact, across chicago, some forecasts indicate they could go 60 consecutive hours with temperatures failing to reach above zero degrees. that would be the third longest stretch of cold weather in chicago history. of course when you look at these temperatures, it is going to be very dangerous when you're talking about the third largest city by population across the country there in chicago. again, when we have warnings and issues for schools being closed, guys, across minneapolis, madison, wisconsin, milwaukee, for the first time in 20 years because of cold temperatures, you know it's a serious situation. >> so many of us have to get used to it. the cold, pedram, thank you. the cdc says the number of states reporting widespread flu activity jumped from 10 to 25 last week. widespread means more than half of the state's geographic regions by county are reporting activity. the most common strain has been

h1n1, formally known as swine flu. six children have died since december and some states have reported adult deaths. and they've reorganized the nsa mass collection phone program. the first time the foreign intelligence surveillance board has ruled since two courts issued rulings on the legality of the program. one court deemed it likely unconstitutional. the other upheld it. both rulings could be appealed and likely head to the supreme court. republican senator rand paul is now leading a class action lawsuit against the obama administration for the nsa's policies. he claims it violates the fourth amendment which protects people from unreasonable search and seizure. >> we now have several hundred thousand people who want to be part of this suit to say to the government and to the nsa, no, you can't have our records

without our permission. or without a warrant specific to an individual. so it's kind of unusual class action suit in the sense we think everybody in america who has a cell phone would be eligible for this class action suit. >> paul has a page on his website for people to sign up to join the lawsuit and it also asks for a $29 donation. one federal judge said last week the nsa program, as we just spoke about, is valid under the patriot act which was approved by congress. rock 'n' roll legend phil everly has passed away. ♪ wake up little susie wake up ♪ >> who doesn't remember that classic from the everly brothers? >> yeah, phil everly and his brother are don soared to the top of the music world in the late '60s -- actually, the late '50s and early '60s. it set a vocal due owe record of 3500 top songs. of course, they influenced the likes of the beatles and simonen

good morning. new york, we have a live look now. >> i don't think the picture tells the wore story what it feels like to be out there. >> it feels good looking at it but when you're out in it and driving in it, it's not as much fun. watch when we have the forecast here, p.j.'s here. paul walker and his friend were traveling faster than 100 miles per hour before the porsche they were riding in crashed.

>> and that new information is from the final coroner's report that was just released. and it describes in detail how the "fast & furious" star and his friend died. here's cnn's alan duke with more. >> victor and alison, this autopsy report answers serious key questions about how "fast & furious" star paul walker died. first of all, we find it was a quick death. soon after the porsche slammed into a light post and a tree bursting into flames, walker and the driver, his friend roger rodas were dead. the autopsy revealed that because there were scant traces of soot in their trachea. also these men suffered severe injuries that killed hem. rodas' head injury was so severe and described in the autopsy that i won't repeat it. and walker skied in a pugilistic stance as if he were bracing for a crash which suggested it

wasn't long after that crash that he was dead. paul walker, roger rodas, they were traveling in a car going over 100 miles an hour. that is another question we asked. they don't know why rodas lost control of this porsche. it was a car he was familiar driving as a race team member, along with walker. but for some reason, it spun out of control and crashed. they don't know why that happened. >> alan duke, thank you. a dark deadline is approaching for the family of a california girl declared brain-dead by doctors. the ajudge ruled that relatives of 13-year-old jahi mcmath have until 5:00 p.m. tuesday to remove her from children's hospital to another facility. >> that ruling came when the corner's office kished a death certificate and it was dated december 12th.

>> reporter: in alameda county court where this tragic case originated, you have the judge and two sides come up with an agreement that allowed an outside medical team to remove jahi's body. that may sound like a simple issue but it's complicated. according to the hospital, you're talking about a dead person. they believe certain protocols need to be met in order to remove a dead person from the hospital. the family wants to move her to a long-term nursing facility. this is what the family lawyer had to say outside of court. >> what we needed to know, when all the balls are in line that we could move quickly and not have to have any impediments so we all understood what the protocol was. and there would be no argument about how it would proceed nor unpleasantries at the hospital. so this is a victory in terms of getting us one step closer to move. >> reporter: now, there's a very big problem here as far as the family's concerned because to move her to a long-term medical

facility you'd have to have a couple of surgical procedures done in advance is, including a trackostomy and putting in a feeding tube. it's unclear that the family will be able to line up some kind of outside doctor. as for the hospital's attorney, here's what he had to say. he said he has one wish for the family. >> personal list, it's horrible that this child has died. it's also hobble that it's so difficult for her family to accept that death. and i wish, and i constantly think that wouldn't it be great if they were able to come to terms with the terrible tragic event and that i didn't have to stand here in front of you all. time after time. >> that was the hospital lawyer getting choked up at the end. so this is a very complicated and emotional case here. you have the hospital, they say they have numerous doctors who say jahi mcmath is brain-dead which they say is synonymous

with death telephone. on the other hand, you have a family which has no intention of letting go. dan simon, cnn, oakland, california. >> thanks. >> such a difficult case. the legal issues. >> and the emotional issues. >> indeed. we're going talk about this for the next few days at least until that deadline comes. and we'll continue to talk about it throughout the morning. up next, what's the definition of a true fan? cheeseheads? how has been rooting for your team in temperatures that feel like 40 below? i think that's dedication, yes. >> need help, we're going to give it to them. >> got to believe. >> got to believe! >> get ready for the ice bowl, take 2. ♪ ♪ get ready for the show man [ bottle ] okay, listen up! i'm here to get the lady of the house back on her feet.

your new day. number one, a psychiatric patient suspected of killing his parent was caught in tennen. this is one day after escaping from a south carolina hospital. in 2006, a court found jason mark charter not guilty by reason of insanity for the murder of his father and stepmother. a judge said carter was not supervised when he escaped in violation of rules. number two, members of an honor guard were seriously hurt when a van hit a load of logs. police cited the van's driver for failure to yield. the driver of the log truck was slightly hurt but refused medical treatment. number 3, a medicaid problem in north carolina. now the state's department of health and human services mailed almost 49,000 medicaid cards to the wrong people. according to our affiliate wral, officials were trying to issue new cards to about 70,000

children being switched from state health coverage to medicaid. but morning half of the cards went to incorrect addresses. health officials say the mix-up will not affect coverage for any of the children. number 4, total whiteout, that's the story across much of the eastern half of the country where more than 100 million people are feeling the eck of a storm that dumped as much as 2 feet of snow. the storm is being blamed for seven deaths, including a wisconsin man who succumbed to hypothermia. >> number 5, if you're headed to the airport, check the status of your flight before you leave home. more than 500 have been delayed. officials warn it could take airlines more than 48 hours to get back on track. and more snow could mean more headaches for people across the country. subzero temperatures are expected to slam into the midwest this weekend. p.j.'s is in for us. meteorologist pedram javaheri is in the weather center.

>> one every two decades do we see a cold spell, a coalout break this expansive across this region. quickly, i want to show you the satellite imagery courtesy of nasa. take a look. that's all snow. the clouds pushing offshore. the entire portion of new york, more than a foot of snow. portions of pocono mountains, pennsylvania seeing that. a polar vortex, essentially a piece of polar cold energy drops right south where it doesn't belong. as it comes south, notice the temperature trend 30 to 40 above average in the north. well above average in parts of south florida, a temperature variance looking like a minus 31 for a high in duluth, guys could be 113 degrees warmer in south florida. pretty incredible stuff. >> all right, pedram, thank you very much. we'll check back. all right. it's the 4th -- that's the day,

right? >> i guess. >> i don't wear a watch. my cell phone's over there. making a new year's resolution is easy. keeping it is probably the hard part. probably some of you have dropped off and it's onlile four days from pledging to work out, promising to pay off your debt, many of us know what it's like to fall off the wagon halfway through the year or even the week. >> how can you set yourself up for success. let's bring in fitness expert desiree nathanson. getting in shape. the first of the year comes, you say i'm going to become the best i can be. how do you keep up with it? >> well, you want to start small. i have five tips i want everyone to take to heart. the first one, you have to be patient. up got to be patient with yourself. you didn't become a sedentary couch potato overnight. be patient. next thing i want you to do is make realistic goals.

they have to be small, they have to be achievable. you can't set huge goals like i want to be the best i can be or lose 20 pounds in two weeks. they need to be small. go to the gym twice this week plg something small. stay away from makes resolutions around the scale. saying oh, i want to get down to 120 pounds. you have no idea what you're going to look like that way. just don't even say numbers. i also want people not to resolve to look like someone else. celebrities -- >> you can't put that picture up? >> you can do that use it for motivation. silents have chefs, personal trainers. they have people standing there saying don't eat that. you need to do that. you can't do that. you can't resolve to look like someone else. >> and air brushing. >> yes. >> and a lot of fitness professionals of celebrities are lying to people about what they do to get in shape. we don't see what's behind the scenes.

so stay away from that. and then finally, you need to ask for support. you need a support system around you. you need people telling you, good job, you can do it. >> a workout buddy? >> exactly. an accountability buddy. >> let's talk about money. people are dropping pounds but want to drop debt, too. paying off student loans. how do they do that considering debt they just acrude during the holiday season? >> i love that you put us together because my tips are almost identical to desiree's. first the top two financial tips are save more money pay down debt. less than 8% of resolutions are actually kept. so my tips are, first of all, we've got to take a step back and look at our underlying behavior that got us to this place first. because i think when people go over and over again breaking the same resolution, it's because something else is going on.

they're getting something out of overspending. so let's assume you have looked deeply and you know what your motivations are. so the first thing is set an achievable goal. if it took you five years to build that debt, you can't kill it in one year. >> yeah. could be tough. >> right? so set it, make it achievable and calculate how long it's going to take you to pay it off. and then the second thing, is break it into smaller goals. one credit card at a time perhaps. and lastly, just like you said, don't go it alone. you are going to have to confess your sins to somebody. and be accountable. it is so easy to lie to ourselves. and we have a lot of shame around our money lies. >> let me ask you, every year comes, people make resolutions. i personally don't make resolutions. i find it kind of silly. what's the point when most of us really don't keep them? how do you keep that momentum going that you feel when the calendar turns? >> i think it's better to have

new month and new week resolutions. why do we focus on the year? what are you going to do this week to change your life, to make yourself healthier, financially healthier. >> it's the baby steps along the way. it's the changing your lifestyle. it's the changing behavior. eventually it will catch up and you'll reach your goals. >> and you can't do it a year at a time. you have to do it a day at a time. >> thank you. working out, saving money sounds easier than it's done, that's for sure. so why is it so hard to stick to your new year's resolution. let's talk about this and bring in "the new york times" best-selling author and reinvention expert steve olcher from skype. why do so many people fail so early on, i'm not talking february, i'm talking january 3rd. >> there's really good reason why this happens. number one if you think about what homer simpson once said, if something is too hard to do,

it's probably just not worth doing. >> first time homer's been quoted on the show. >> hey, you know, i'll take that. you know, reality is, man, most people set these goals and then they realize, oh, my god, it's like hard work to actually do it. so, you know, you don't just go -- what i talk about is reinvention a lot. what people need to do understand is that reinvention is really a process, right? it's not just like a switch that someone can simply turn on and off. and so, it's just --s, you know, we can talk about the unrealistic expectations as well. and your other guests have chatted about that. to that end, what i really like also is just the thought of milestones, you know, small victories, small celebrations. i think that's really important as well. but, you know, lastly, it's just -- i think there's a big confusion around, like, what someone believes that they want. and what it is is that they

actually need. and so it's so important to understand, you know, is this just some sort of a far-fetched fantasy. and is it what i really need it order to be successful or to get to a certain point. >> let's talk about steps for a minute. after a commit to a new year's resolution. is there a time to organize your thought process to achieve those goals? >> it's about a mind-set shift, right? from my perspective, the idea here is, as far as time is concerned, there's only two ways to use your time. you can invest your time. or you can spend your time. and so one of the key shifts is really understanding where your time goes. and are you investing that time or are you spending that time. and clearly, if you want to achieve these goals and objectives, then you really got to be looking at investing over that time. >> well i've learned a lot. the two major points i'm going to take from this. investing time, versus spending tile. steve olsher, thank you from

the next few days, the country is expected to plunge in bone-chilling cold. pedram javaheri is in the cnn weather center. margaret conley in boston. but first from alexandra field. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're waking up to cold temperatures here in long island. with the windchill it feels like 6 below. you can see it's solid ice conditions. this is an icicle that we just pulled off of a store front this morning. these are the kinds of things to be aware of as you head out this morning. these cold temperatures come on the heels of a whole lot of snow dumped out here. parts of island saw a foot of snow. new york city saw 8 inches of snow. people here, yes, are used to dealing with the snow. but officials across the northeast are also warning people that temperatures will continue to fall as the it continues. and they want to warn people, the connecticut governor had a bit of an unusual warning for

cold temperatures there. here's what he had to say. >> if you want some tips on how to deal with the cold. first of all, i'll give you mine, don't put your tongue on a flag pole. >> reporter: all right, a little bit of unusual advice, obviously make something light of the situation, that can help when we're dealing with this tremendous cold. but we'll give you a look at the road here in sayville, the plows have been out, salting, trying to clean up to get ahead of the mess. that's because temperatures are actually going to warm up later today. that could make it messy and slushy. then we'll see the temperatures take that nosedive later this week. so all of us are still in for a lot here. alison, victor. >> alexandra field in sayville, new york. airports, they are struggling to get travelers on their way after thousands of flights were canceled this week. more than 600 have been already canceled today. and that's on top of more than

3,000 flights canceled yesterday. airlines are add justing their policies, of course, to help people get to where they're going. if you're trying today, plan on checking with the airline before you leave home. and in massachusetts, officials are urging residents who live on the coast to evacuate. this is what it looked like in a town there on friday after high tides caused flooding in several homes. residents who plan to stay will have a hard time getting around. many of the streets have coated with a thick sheet of ice thanks to the freezing temperatures. massachusetts also saw some of the heaviest snowfall and now people are just trying to figure out. more than 23 inches of snow fell in foxburg, a town north of boston. now coming the bitter cold, are 1 degrees fahrenheit in beantown. feels like negative 8 with the wind. margaret conley is live there. margaret, how are you holding

up? >> reporter: i'm hanging in there, alison and victor. massachusetts sea up to 2 feet of snow in some areas. near record-low temperatures last night. take a look at the streets. no one is outside. i've maybe seen one person walking on the street. there's also a windchill advisory in place until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. those advisories are issued when it's below 15 or below 24 degrees over a period of three hours. so those are the temperatures that we're dealing with out here. the concern is frostbite. we're going to have a lot of advisories. it's based on the amount of wind and how long do you stay outside. people are advising if you have to go outside for work or you have to be outside to shovel the snow. wear gloves, make sure you pay attention to the warning signs that your body gives off. a lot of the local doctors are saying people are trying to tough it out and that's when they get into trouble. also weather say big factor for travel. logan airport, they have flights going in and out.

a lot of cancellations. at our hotel, a lot of people were stranded. my flight was cancelled. they're expected to resume today but check the schedules before you head to the airport. >> so your flight was canceled. that's why you're up with us live on television this morning? >> reporter: you got it. >> otherwise, she'd probably be in bed. you know one thing i find that actually helps keep at least reporters who are out there, warm, those thermal back pain things -- >> you plaster them all over your body. >> you focus on a warm spot. >> all over the body. >> margaret, i know they're a hardy bunch in boston. i don't really see anybody out? is anybody out this morning? >> reporter: it's still a little early. i think you guys are the only ones that get up that early. yesterday, we saw people playing around in the snow. give it a little bit more time. but it is expected to be very

cold. we'll keep watch for who comes out to join us. >> how about the roads? are they clear? >> reporter: the roads are pretty clear. you got to be careful of black ice. that's the other advisory that we've seen. right now, you're looking down here. you can drive on the roads because a lot of the snow cleared out. but you just got to be really careful. we probably will still see people shoveling. that was the big thing yesterday. but it looks like a lot of the snow has been cleared out and not sustained. >> right tires and maybe chains, if people still do those, they can help you through the snow, but there's nothing that helps you with ice. margaret conley from boston. stay warm. >> i love her hat. >> it is very nice. stylish. >> temperatures are expected to plunge as a dangerous arctic blast moves in. >> some states could see the coldest temperatures in more than a decade. officials are warning bone-cold temps could cause rapid frostbite and hypothermia.

any relief, pedram? is this going to continue for days and days? >> up until at least wednesday. we do see above-average trend later next weekend. that's the good news long term. but right now you're talking about the bone-cold temperatures. as far as the ambient temperatures without the wind. anywhere from zero to minus 10 it would feel as cold as minus 28. 20 to 30 below. that's the forecast for areas across the upper midwest. north portion of the great lakes. you factor in a 10-mile-per-hour wind, it could be 53 below zero. schools across minneapolis, madison and milwaukee have been closed. monday was actually the first day to go back to school from the holiday break. and they don't want kids standing outside at the bus stop when it's some regions 50 below. and the arctic region, it's just settled in.

ahead of it, across the northeast it will actually warm up. so everything we get here will be rain, behind it or across portions of the ohio valley. we're talking snowfall on the order of possibly a foot. that happens sometimes saturday night into sunday night. where indianapolis could be upwards of a foot. chicago, 10 inches, st. louis gets 10 inches. snow, the levels, there which affects the radiation that we get it allows temperatures to cool off more efficiently. and a regular cold front coming in. but what we have in store is one of the coldest air masses in the 21st century. as far as nashville could reach zero by monday night. atlanta, some of the models but atlanta down to 6 degrees monday night. i want to show you the upper midwest. minneapolis could spend upwards of 80 consecutive hours below

zero degrees. the last time this happened was mid1990s. chicago, 10 below. that's your high temperature come monday afternoon. it warms up by tuesday. notice the high for this time of year is right around freezing. far shy of that. even portions of the northeast, alison and victor, new york city 49 monday, drops to 14 come tuesday. boston goes from 50 on monday to 18 degrees. and usually with an arctic air mass, guys, the winds are rather calm. this time around, we're going to see blustery conditions. the windchills some of the coldest in years. >> i was just fascinated by one thing you said that because snow is white it cools quicker. i never considered that. >> it does. it reflects any amount of solar radiation that we get. it's more efficiently cooled off. as it tries to melt, not doing that this time of around, but as it does, it draws the temperature down more efficiently as well. all of that coming together with

one of the coldest air masses that we've seen in a long time. >> pedram, thank you. the cdc says the number of states reporting widespread flu activity jumped from 10 to 25 last week. widespread means more than half of the state's geographic regions like counties or townships are reporting activity. the most common strain has been h1n1. back in 2009 it was known as the swine flu. cdc says six children have died since the end of december. some states have also reported adult deaths. the 1967 ice bowl could be one of the most famous football games ever. >> you know, we could see a sequel on sunday. we'll talk to someone in green bay about that game. you know, some people consider this to be the greatest game ever played. we'll see if we get ice bowl take 2.

explaining my moderate to severe so there i was again, chronic plaque psoriasis to another new stylist. it was a total embarrassment. and not the kind of attention i wanted. so i had a serious talk with my dermatologist about my treatment options. this time, she prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred.

before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible. not a soul on road in sayville, new york. >> everybody's heighting in their house us.

it's 7:14 there. >> hey, one guy. and he's in a hummer. most roads, you got to have something that will handle it. a live look at sayville. the streets are plowed there, be careful of the ice. if you thought the worst was behind us, wait until you hear what's coming our way. p.j.'s here with the forecast. that's coming up later. there's a reason they called lambeau field the frozen tundra. the green bay packers fans are coming out to get the stadium ready for sunday's playoff game against san francisco. the game kicks off tomorrow afternoon in subzero temperatures. >> so to help fans, the team is going to be offering free hot chocolate and coffee during the game. i think they're going to need to drink it fast because i think it's going to freeze solid. >> sunday's game, we understand, is drawing comparisons to the ice bowl of '67. >> it is because in that legendary game, it was so cold.

it was so cold, the field froze. and the refs couldn't use their whistles and a fan even died in the stands. >> hopefully it won't be that bad. chris is the host of "sports line" on 107.5, in green bay. here via skype. chris, we've been talking all morning about what this game will be, comparing it to the ice bowl. i mean, how close are the comparisons here? >> the temperatures are going to be extremely similar when they kick off, the ice bowl was negative 13 degrees. the windchill was around negative 37. green bay, we're looking at temperatures below zero to kick off. windchills could be anywhere from negative 30 to negative 40. obviously, the technology is much better than it was back then. but the temperatures are going to be extremely similar. not expecting any snow because there won't be any moisture, but it's bowing to be close to the exact situation as '67.

>> but, chris, isn't this part of green bay culture, and if so, why couldn't they -- you know, sell it out, the game? >> it's definitely part of green bay's culture. this is what green bay fans pride themselves on. because it's the nfl and they're willing to watch them play. the sellout issue was different from years past. the way they handled ticket sales this year. they had 40,000 tickets to sell on monday when they released for the playoffs. a lot of people weren't sure they were going to make the playoffs. it's difficult to sell out 40,000 tickets. they rely a lot on out of town people to come in and buy the tickets. fans who haven't, trying to book a hotel with the snow in a week's notice is ridiculous. so the problems with the tv, i think that's why you're seeing

these huge ticket sales. it eventually sold out yesterday around 11:00 a.m. >> most of the country, especially people who aren't huge football fans are looking at the folks going to be at this game tomorrow and wondering why are they going in these temperatures. are there people in green bay who are actually looking forward to the challenge of sitting out in 35 below zero temperatures? >> absolutely. as sick and as strange as that sounds, people are getting excited for this. back in 1967, you have people come up all the time, when you bring up the ice bowl. i was there. here's the ticket stub. i braved the weather. we saw that package for the super bowl, that's the same kind of thing. hopefully, they will survive with the packers win. >> where are you watching the game? >> i'm going to be in the press box. i got hand warmers from my grandma for christmas. >> how many naked fans are going to be in the stands?

>> oh, there's normally a few. i've been -- before i got this job up here, i actually went to a game shirtless at 20 degrees. it wasn't the best decision in the world. it's something you brag about when you're not as bright when you were younger. i'd say there will be ten fans crazy enough to try to start the game. they'll hide in the bathrooms halftime those are at least heated. >> thanks, grandma, for the hand warmers. chris terlop, from green bay, thanks. >> thanks. why cheerios have bowed to public pressure to change their ingredients. and facebook under fire again. the social network guilty of snooping and selling -- ♪ who's watching me ♪

were no other cars around them at all. >> reporter: the driver spun, struck a light pole, tree and the video to cnn shows the moment of impact and a minute later, the car bursting into flames. >> there's nothing we tried -- we went to five extinguishers. >> reporter: concerned that walker and rodas may have been alive at that entire time. both bodies were found in a pugilistic stance, much like a boxer. walker had multiple bone fractures. only a scant amount of soot was found in walker's throat indicating he wasn't breathing for long. the body of rodas was an even more gruesome condition. he died instantly. >> in hollywood, we're always driving fast. but we have to be concerned that this could happen to many of us. that's why we ought to follow the rules, follow the speed. we can't be too fast and

furious. >> reporter: the final autopsy confirms the coroner's initial ruling with the cause of death, an accident. walker lives on in film. the "fast & furious" which was partially shot at the time of walker's death scheduled to be released this year. the state's department of health and human services mailed almost 49,000 medicaid cards to the wrong people. according to our affiliate wral tv, officials were trying to issue cards to 70,000 children being switched to medicaid but morning half the cards went to the wrong addresses. this is amazing now. listen to this. this guy didn't even know he was holding the winning ticket. i'm talking about the second winner of last month's $648 million mega millions jackpot. >> can you imagine the moment when you realize what you have. this guy, steve tran, a delivery

>> they wanted to release it february because they wanted everything set up the right way, but, yeah, i think it has oscar potential. it's interesting because it's based on a true story. an historic news reel footage type of reel. it's really interesting. a creative way of doing it. it will probably go viral. it's an interesting way to get people to understand what this movie is about. when you have george clooney and matt damon and bill murray involved, definitely a good movie. >> tom, are you seeing the same thing she's seeing about the movie? >> yes, but i think they moved it primarily to get it out of that oscar corridor. this is really a commercial. is this "oceans 11" goes to world war ii. it's got a lot of comedy. george clooney directed it. it's the first time since "ides of march" a few years ago.

spooky disney role. >> tom, what about action movies? >> action movies, do you want to move to "the hunger games"? >> how about it? >> where we left off "catching fire" first thing out of the dome, and there's a revolution brewing. you know the book series, you know that it's all about that revolution. so what they did, with the movie, was to break it into two parts. part 1 and part 2. and part 1 is coming and if you liked "the hunger games," it's coming out. >> kim, good to see you, editor of "us weekly" -- >> "in touch weekly." i'm sorry. another revolution from former nsa contractor edward snowden, according to documents

of the evncryption may be broke. the scrambled codes that protect our information online shield the most top secret data the government possesses from hackers and cyber spies. the nsa is developing a quantkq computer. when the nsa gets the quantum computer, what will it do? >> it will make it a lot easier for the nsa to break the codes that foreign governments use. >> nsa will be able to break encryption codes that we use to protect bank accounts and e-mails and medical records. that may lead to a world with no secrets where it will be pointless trying to protect anything. >> we don't know for the most fact what the abilities are for the encryption that we rely when we go online to purchase a book

or download music. >> reporter: the computer program is revealed in documents employed by edward snowden and reported by the washington post. how would the computer work? when a regular computer tries to solve a problem, it goes through a possible solution one by one until it arrives at an answer. what makes the quantum computer special, it tries every possible ability and comes to the answer more quickly. quantum computing is so difficult to master. this computer is fragile. it is being built in room-sized cages to seal out any electric troe magnetic energy in the air. how close is the nsa to finishing the computer? five years away or a decade or more. contacted by cnn, the nsa wouldn't comment on the project.

bottom of the hour. welcome back. i'm alison kosik. >> i'm victor blackwell. five things you need to know for your saturday. bitter cold and ice. more than 100 million people are feeling the affects of the blizzard that dumped two feet of snow in places. pushed temperatures in new england to more than 20 below. the storm is being blamed for he seven deaths, including main in wisconsin. deadly fighting under way in iraq. this is near fallujah. the fighting is between al qaeda-backed militants and the security forces of the government. in an unusual partnership, sunni tribesmen are fighting the militants, many of whom are sunnis. 80 people have been killed and

60 were part of al qaeda. three now, tens of thousands of union workers at boeing can expect a pension freeze and higher health care costs after members narrowly approve a contract to build a new generation commercial jet. boeing threatened to have the jet built by a non-union company if workers in washington state did not pass the deal. number four, singer phil everly passed away. he and his brother hit the charts in the '60s. his wife said he died in california from chronic obstructi obstruction pulmonary disease.

and their daughter got incorrect dosages and medications. neither parent has responded to the story. and released the death certificate of the california girl. and sadly, a dark deadline approached. and the hospital can remove jahi on tuesday. three doctors have declared mcmath legally dead. her mom said as long as her heart beats, she is alive. >> how can she be dead and her heart beats and she responds to my touch and voice? how can a dead person do that? >> jahi mcmath had surgery last month to remove her tonsils and extra sinus tissue to help her

sleep apnea. >> well, jahi mcmath's case has stirred controversy around the world over the rights of family members to keep them alive. >> what does it mean to declare a person brain dead? dr. sanjay gupta explains. >> reporter: alison, this is a sad story and heart breaking story. it is confusing for a lot of people as well. let's start off with terms. you need to understand the difference between brain death and other things. it is not the same as coma or vegetative state. by definition, brain death is irrelevant reversible. in the united states it is legally same as death. the brain death means the total loss of brain activity. now, for us doctors, i'm a neuro surgeon. for others to determine, sometimes do a physical exam. you shine light in the pupils

and see if they react. rub the eye with cotton. put ice water in the ears. you check to see what is happening with the brain stem. doctors do what is known as an apnea test. they turn off the ventilator for several minutes to see if there are signs of breathing on their own. they will often do scans to see if there is blood flow to the brain. it is that clinical exam, that detailed exact that is important. now, coma, for an extended time, can be called a vegetative state. there is research in that area. you may have heard on a rare handful of cases, people who have been in a vegetative state for years could come back to some level of consciousness. brain death, there is no activity. no blood flow. something that a trained doctor

is easily able to diagnose. alison. >> thank you, dr. sanjay gupta. >> here is what sanjay mentioned. terry wallace spent 19 years in a vegetative state. we want to make sure that is clear. that happened after he was paralyzed in a car crash and fell into a coma in 1984. again, important to note, we will stress this throughout. he was not brain dead. one day, in 2003, his mother walked into his room and he uttered "mom." the next day, he said, "pepsi." remember this story? the day before father's day, he said, "dad." he kept speaking more and more. >> now wallace is a sicientific legend. his mother and daughter join us from mountain view, arkansas. let me ask you, amber, how is your father doing now? >> he is good.

he is doing awesome. really good. >> can you tell me, angela, about the decision to continue for 19 years as he was in the coma, to continue to hold on to hope that one day he would come out of it. >> there's no other choice. you just have to keep hoping. >> what were you told by doctors that there was a potential he would come out? >> they did not give me much hope he would come out. they didn't know. not much hope. >> and you said he is doing great now. can you tell us is he talking now? how is he doing day-to-day? >> he does talk. if there is something on his mind, he tells us. there's not much he holds in these days. >> it is now sentences that are put together or still single

words that we heard about in 2003? >> oh, no. he has a full vocabulary. he is communicating very well. he talks in full sentences. he vocalizes. >> let me ask you about the day he first said, "mom." >> there's no way to explain that. i waited so long to hear him say anything. for him to say "mom," i was so happy. >> you know, although the jahi mcmath situation is different, angilee, how do you feel about it? >> that is just really sad. it is different. i really really don't know. i just feel so sad for the family. >> amber, what about you?

your father was in a vegetative state, but we know that jahi mcmath is brain dead, meaning no activity to the brain and no blood to the brain. what are your thoughts about this family and their decision? >> i think it is tragic that a little girl would go for an outpatient surgery and the consequences so dire. to put any mother in a situation to have to let go of her child or hold on to something that doctors say is nonexistent. it's terrible. you know, i wouldn't want to ever be in that situation. >> what would you want to say to jahi's family about having hope? >> you don't lose it. every situation is different. i would say keep praying. it is not superficial. it is the only thing that gets you through sometimes. >> angilee, let me ask you. you made the decision to hold on to hope, as you said, for 19 years. again, your son was in a

vegetative state. if you had to make this decision based on the diagnosis of being brain dead, would you be making the same choice? >> i can't say that. i don't know. you just -- you can't give up your child. >> 20 years ago, they did not have the technology they have today to determine brain dead. she would not know if he was brain dead or not. it was almost 30 years ago. you know, it is a little different circumstances there. >> you said something just a second ago, angilee, you can never give up your child. how much of the decision is it not just medically, but difficulty to say good-bye to a child, especially a 13-year-old? >> that is so bad. terry was 20.

i couldn't -- i couldn't not hang on. >> all right. amber and angilee wallis, thank you for talking to us with this. this was in 2003 when he woke up. a lot of people remember the word "pepsi." that is what jogged memories from folks. thank you so much. and your little baby there, too, thank you. >> he's cranky this morning. thanks. >> it's 7:30 in arkansas. get back to bed. thank you. >> thanks. new details in the fatal crash that killed "fast & furio furious" star paul walker. after firing off the controversy, the cast of "duck dynasty" is firing off to do a new line of guns. how fans can get their hands on a piece of the hit series. ♪

released. it stated how "the fast & furious" star died. here is alan duke with more. >> this answers key questions about how "fast & furious" star paul walker died. it was a quick death. soon after the porsche slammed into a light post and tree, bursting into flames, walker and the driver, his friend, roger rodas were dead. the autopsy revealed that. they say there were traces of soot in their trachea. rodas' head injury was severe. so graphically described in the autopsy, i won't repeat it. as far as walker, he died in an defensive position. a pugilistic stance. it wasn't long after the crash he was dead. paul walker, roger rodas were

traveling in a car going over 100 miles an hour. that is another key question. was it speed that caused it? obviously it was, they don't know why rodas lost control of the porsche. it was a car he was familiar driving as a race team member along with walker. for some reason, it spun out of control and crashed. they don't know why that happened. alison and victor. >> alan, thanks. the cast of "duck dynasty" is expanding the empire. the family has teamed up with gunmaker mossberg. the new gun collection will include nine shotguns and semiautomatic pistols. >> it will come with a bandana worn on the show. last month, phil robertson was temporarily suspended after making anti-gay comments to "gq" magazine. another celebrity wardrobe

ipad app, "the human face of big data." we said the phrase five or six times. what is big data? >> you know, this is a question i thought of years ago. i understand what big data was. i spoke to many experts in the area. one of the most interesting quotes about the area of big data came from eric schmidt, the chairman of google. he said all of the information generated by the human race from the dawn of humanity to 2003 was 5,000 xbytes. we are seeing a straight vertical line. every object on earth, including our bodies are starting to generate that. i think that many of the stories that we see in the media tend to focus on the downside of it. i'm concerned about the

information that has been shared with us. i think this is a brand new tool that is offering a tremendous ability for humanity to take control of some of the biggest problems facing us today. >> you know, you called the data the big data. the new oil. how will big data change the world and you are saying it will have a bigger impact than the internet? >> well, i say that after giving some examples of it because it sound grandiose. you need to have micro processors to build couple computers. if you think about it, every single one of his is a human sensor. we are watching the planet develop a nervous system. it sounds like arnold schwarzenegger in sky net. it is feeding back to the large growing brain. it sounds creepy, but there is

tremendous benefits to it. i'll give you a few examples. there is a gentleman, a macarthur fellow. he said imagine you got your bill, would you pay your credit card bill if you would not see what you spent during the month? every month we get an electrical bill. we have no idea what our toaster oven or hair dryer is costing us. he has a gaget. it recognizing the signature of every appliance in your house. that is cool. you can move that into how you are spending your money. i said did you learn anything

that would surprise people that would change their behavior. he thought about it for a second. he said, actually the most surprising thing we learn is the average american spends 11% of their monthly electrical bill on the dvr recording cnn. >> i certainly use mine. >> when it is not recording, it is spinning. instead of building a nuclear power plant, we could redesign the dvrs. we could have a huge impact. i tend to be a glass half empty guy. a lot of the things that surprise me were amazing. when the earthquake hit in japan a few years ago, terrible devastation. a remarkable story about how every bullet train and factory in japan, 15 seconds before the earthquake hit, was brought to a halt. japanese had spent $500 million to put this hardwire sensors

into place to sense the wave before the earthquake hit. it worked. it all worked great, but the big story, the big data story is the group of entrepreneurs in palo alto, california says every laptop has an accelerorometer can be used for other purposes. we said what if we wrote some software to sense the same vibrations that these systems use. all over the world, you have quake catcher. it is free software that you fire up on your laptop before you go to bed. you have a global free earthquake early warning system using data. reusing the sensors that are built into the device. >> big data isn't all bad. onerous. it is good. that is interesting, rick

decision by the court? >> reporter: good morning, alison and victor. the decision could come over the weekend or early next week. under obamacare, it is a mandate for non-profit religious based organizations to provide birth control to workers. churches and house of worships are exceptiempxempt. this week, a home run by nuns in denver, have asked for the block of enforcement of this. they say providing birth control to employees violates their religious beliefs. planned parenthood says it is overcomplicated. that is coming from the businesses. let's take a listen to what they say. >> the bigger question is there are for-profit companies trying to say they don't want to provide birth control coverage although they are for-profit companies. it is because of their ceos personal opposition to birth control. they should not be required to provide this kind of coverage.

that's a very separate and distinct issue than the one this order of nuns has raised. >> reporter: that is also what is really important here. this legal battle is really being fought on two fronts from the religious non-profits, but businesses as well. many corporation, alison and victor, are mounting this very same argument. >> what does it mean for obamacare moving forward permanently? >> reporter: whatever ruling is out will not be the final word. it will not have an overall impact on the law. any decision we get is limited in nature. that means it would only deal with to block enforcement temporarily. later, federal courts could take up the issue further. >> a lot of people believe this is heading to the supremes. sunlen serfaty, thank you. the grass is looking greener for some store owners in colorado. up next, we will talk to a store

i love this. this guy did not know he was holding the winning ticket. the second winner of the $648 million mega millions jackpot. >> his name is steve tran. he is a delivery driver from northern california. according to california lottery officials, tran was oblivious for two weeks about the fortune. >> tran is saying he bought tickets for the game all along his delivery route. it wasn't until a few nights ago that he realized one of them came from the san jose gift shop that sold one of the winning tickets. >> imagine the moment he realized the ticket is his. >> quit his job. >> that is what he did. he left a message for his boss, he was not coming in today,

tomorrow or ever again. congratulations. lots of lines and cash. that is the first week of california's recreational pot sales went this week. customers went outside and braved the cold temperatures. they took advantage of the new law and purchased legal weed. >> tim collins is one of over two dozen pot retailers. he is joining us live. good morning, tim. some did more than $1 million of business on the first day alone. tell me how your sales were doing this week. >> we had a record-breaking week. we have seen as many as 350 people a day. yesterday, almost 400. >> you know, here is my question for you, it is a plant, so it has to have time to grow, right? if you have so many people waiting in line and waiting to buy it, is there going to come a time when supply just does not fulfill the demand?

>> i don't anticipate that will be an issue for us. we have been preparing for today for months now. we're stocked up and able to serve all the customers that show up here. in colorado, resident can purchase as much as an ounce or 28 grams. a non resident can purchase a quarter of an ounce or seven grams. we limited purchases to a quarter for all of our customers. that will get us through. that will get us through. we will not have a shortage. >> give us a sense of who your customers are? women or men or younger or older? buying in plant form or drink form? >> so, it's been amazing to see the people come through the line. the lines are long and they are all shapes and sizes and colors.

i have seen 21-year-olds through 75-year-olds. it is just amazing. there is no stereotype. when people are given the choice of how they like to relax, they are obviously choosing cannabis. there isn't just one type of person we have seen. it is all over the place. as far as products that are in the store, i know there is the stereo typical pot brownie. we have those as well. everything from infused drinks to cannabis flowers can be found. there are chocolate bars. crackers. a whole range of products, including vaporizers which are one of the most popular products on the market right now. >> weed crackers. i imagined everything else. the brownies and fruit, but crackers. i did not know you had those on

shelves. let's talk about a legal issue. a concern about keeping this off the black market. how are you, how are retailers tracking inventory to keep the legal pot off the black market? >> we are the solution to crushing the black market. in colorado, we card people at the door. number one to establish their age and number two to establish residency. there is so many people buying cannabis through a retail store for the first time. i spoke with a frustrated denver post reporter yesterday who was given the assignment of finding someone who had never smoked cannabis and smoking it now as a result of legalization. she could not find anyone. she had been looking for two days. that says the black market has been alive and well for so long. the lines we're experiencing are

a result of people not purchasing on the black market. the regulation and control of cannabis through retail stores will crush the black market. the prohibition that has gone on for the past 70 years is obviously not working. we're able to keep it out of the hands of children, but much less -- or systimilar to a liqu store. once it leaves the store, it is in the hands of the person who purchased it to be responsible. the resale of it or crossing state lines is illegal. we inform people through a public education campaign that it is illegal. >> i was going to say. we're out of time. thanks very much for your time. >> okay. i appreciate it. thank you. >> sorry to cut you off. it is one of the issues that keeps going on and on. >> people have been talking about it for some time. the conversation will continue.

>> the last 50 months have been the most successful on my career. to get an award like this away from the court is great. >> now murray will focus on getting fit in time for the australian open. but where will he store his latest awards? >> the first one like this. i don't know where it will go yet. >> his prized pooch, maggie may may already have the answer. >> "open court" is sponsored by rado.

tomorrow's packers/49ers playoff game could go down as the the coldest in football history. jared greenberg has more in the bleacher report. >> victor, it is compared to a game that is your favorites. the infamous ice bowl. >> i have favorites. '67. >> the frozen tundra at lambeau field. temperatures could reach minus 20 with the wind chill of 40

below. tickets are sold out. hundreds of fans showed up at lambeau field yesterday to shovel out the stands ahead of the game yesterday. in addition to layers of clothing that will be needed to stay warm, the team is planning on providing free coffee and hot chocolate during the game. a local store will give out 70,000 hand warmers to fans. the game could be colder than the 1967 ice bowl. in that game, victor, you may remember, estimated 48 degrees below zero. packers ended up winning that game. maybe that is a good sign for green bay fans as they take on the 49ers. free football for military members in cincinnati in an effort to avoid the bengals playoff blacked out in the cincy television market. local companies bought up tickets and donated them. businesses in green bay and indianapolis stepped up. no nfl games are scheduled to be blacked out this weekend.

that is good news. you have to sell out 100% of tickets for the playoffs for the local market to see the game. >> they were up against it. >> they got an extension from the nfl. >> jared, thank you. coming up at the top of the hour, a football player murders his girlfriend and the dramatic story right here on cnn. pope francis has been known to cold call the faithful. it happened this time in spain. >> francis called five nuns on new year's day, the nuns were not home. he left a voice mail. [ speaking foreign language ] >> an expert says that is the pope's voice. he opened jokingly saying what are the nuns doing that they

can't answer. he continued, i am pope francis. i wish to greet you in the end of the year. i will see if i can call you later. may god bless you. >> the nuns decided they would wait for the pope to call back. sure enough, a few hours later, they say he did. speaking of angels. snow angels. yesterday. three boys in minnesota, they are brothers. they built this ten-foot shark out of snow. took them a whopping 95 hours to make. >> get a look at the fins and tail. it took ten hours to build those alone. they made the first snow sculpture three years ago and it is a family tradition. thanks for watching today. we will see you back at the top of the hour. up next, an all new "your money." new york's billionaire mayor, he is now -- so sad, just a billionaire. what is next for michael bloomberg? christine romans takes you

inside the business of being bloomberg. >> "your money" starts right now. >> see you back at the top of the hour. thanks for joining us this morning. the u.s. economy is taking flight. this year, will there be more room in coach? i'm christine romans. this is "your money." the rich got richer in 2013. is 2014 the year more americans share in the recovery? i'm going on the record with predictions for "your money." the economy will again be the big story. the year of economic growth and growing worry that the recovery is not benefitting everyone. the unemployment rate will likely fall below 7%. that is the trend. the real story is the under employment rate. don't expect that to budge as companies hold back on hiring full-time workers. the recently unemployed. they wille
