kevin spacey. and that is going to do it for me. it has been a pleasure hanging out with you. don lemmon continues now next live from new york. >> i really enjoyed watching you too as well. thank you for that. you are in the cnn newsroom. at the top of the hour we are going to talk about ice and snow. it wasn't long ago that a rare winter storm brought a major city right to its knees. >> hey, hey, hey. so that was a little bit. that was atlanta. not even two weeks ago. people who lived there had fun calling it a snow jam when one million cars were stuck on the

highway. other cities were slammed as well. alabama and mississippi. that was the end of january. look at this. the latest forecast puts atlanta smack in the middle of yet another winter storm coming in just two days. atlanta was scrip scriple crippd georgia other ficials were chris sized for not acting appropriately. the governor assesmentled officials to help him respond to the next storm better and smarter. now it looks like the next storm has come sooner and not later. and we are going to talk to a severe weather expert. first karen mcginnis shows us now. winter weather is on the way. it is not going to be pretty.

we start around the arc of texas. it may start out as ice. we have a weather system that is pushing down across the southeast. it is going to have moisture that it is going to meet up with. as we see during the winter months, classic icing situations there is that fine line where it transitions over to freezing rain before it becomes snow fall. here you can see across northern louisiana, southern arkansas. icing through the ozarks, birmingham, could see a layer of ice before it is all said and done. and into south carolina and then we could see it transition over to snow. how much? computer models haven't nailed

it down but it looks like anything before one to four inches. and then we go later into the forecast and it pushes towards the carolinas. interstate 20 in the southeast is going to be treacherous. and into south carolina. north carolina, maybe into south eastern virginia, we could see this event in a broad area that is going to be difficult to pin down but you need to stay aware. could see troubles as far as airline traffic is considered too. >> thank you very much. is it going to be a repeat on the phone with me right now glen burns he is at wsb and used to to be my weather man until this past summer when i moved up here. you have become a repeat of that

disaster two weeks ago. we have the forecast, ice and snow and it may hit atlanta again. you have gotten off a conference call. what are they doing different to prepare? >> this is a whole difference ballgame here. what we had two weeks ago is a minor event. we are going to have rain mixing with snow and sleet. rain back to freezing rain and the big difference here is going to be a longer duration. two weeks ago we had four hours of snow and this coulding 30 plus hours of wintry precipitation across georgia. we got off the meeting with the national weather service. the people from the georgia department of transportation and this time we have had the local meteorologist involved and the

school superintendants involved and everybody getting the same information is going to be key to how we respond. so simply. glen, are they ready? and your task force will they be ready as well? everyone. >> the task force is ready to go. as karen eluded to a little while ago we don't know yet about the precipitation. we don't know about how it is going to fall yet and what type. but we are all ready to go and ready to respond. we don't know which areas are going to need the most response. i believe it is going to be in the gainsville area. to the north georgia mountains. that is subject to serious icing issues. so georgia power is going to be in on that. and we are going to have major

icing issues and we are ready >> glen, okay we will be watching. glen burns part of the georgia governor's new task force. we will be watching glen, we will get you back. thank you very much. right now a search for a missing american under way on two continents a mother waiting in north for word on her son. 32-year-old harry dever planned to ride to the tip of south america. he was in a volatile part of mexico known for clashes in drug cartels. tell us what about this there is a chilling text that he sent before he went missing. >> certainly family and friends concerned that they haven't

heard from him. he said quote just got an hour and a half long military escort out of some area it was too dangerous for me to be. he said hopefully they were going to talk. he had been staying west of mexico city. no one has heard from him and authorities in mexico are searching for him in a place where kidnapping and murders have spiked since the drug war. >> people always look to family for reaction and things that they can do. are we hearing from the family? >> deeply concerned. but what they want is help. they are looking to officials in the u.s. to give them some sort of help. here is what his mother had to say. >> he dropped off the face of

the earth it seems and that is not who he is. and i can only think that he is hurt and needs us. there is no way he wouldn't have gotten word out to us. i keep thinking my life makes no sense without him in it. >> dever had traveled extensively. he blogs about his adventures. but his mother and girlfriend say he has always been careful to stay in contact or let them know when he won't have access to a vel phone cell phone or in moving on now to a man who claims that he spent months drifting in the ocean. his boat wash add shore nearly two weeks ago. doctors must clear him medically before he is allowed to return him to mexico. the owners of his boat say the

f fishermand and another man died after four months at sea. >> and we'll hear the talk about possible hillary clinton's possible run for a president seat. imagine if everything you learned led to the one job you always wanted. at university of phoenix, we believe every education- not just ours- should be built around the career that you want. imagine that. wow, this hoh no.s amazing. who are you? who are you? wrong answer. wait, daddy, this is blair, he booked this room with priceline express deals and saved a ton. yeah, i didn't have to bid i got everything i wanted.

oh good i always do. oh good he seemed nice. express deals. priceline savings without the bidding. but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i had to do something. i saw my doctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can restore t levels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms, decreased sperm count, ankle, feet or body swelling, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing while sleeping

and blood clots in the legs. common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa. ask your doctor about axiron. and his new boss told him two things -- cook what you love, and save your money. joe doesn't know it yet, but he'll work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he'll start investing early, he'll find some good people to help guide him, and he'll set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade.

on monday, i will issue a new policy memorandum that will for the first time in history instruct all justice department employees to give lawful same sex marriages full recognition to the greatest extent possible under the law. >> it is a major milestone for gay rights in his country.

the expansion will include the benefits where same sex marriage is not legal. >> time to get reunited with my two political commentate tors. the band is back together you all. is it over now. is this like you know is it over get used to it it is going to happen throughout the country. >> don, i think it was over the day the supreme court decided. you know, to in favor of gay rights. this is happening.

there are gay families all over america. there are couples living as a family all over america. you cannot take these rights away. what eric holder announced yesterday was an extension of what they said they were going to have. that they were going to extend benp fefits to those that got married. they already have a number of federal benefits and now they are going to have protection under the law. under sernl federal issues and rights and testimony indiana in a federal court of law. if you are go in alabama and going to get married in new york. if you are going to mary a criminal, make sure they are federal not state crime. >> you are on your own with that

comment too. >> this is coming from a conservative. i didn't plan to talk to you guys about this. anna ate up your time. >> well, i would say that you know, it was over much earlier than that. it was over the day that the drag queens stood up and stone walled and said enough. dr. king we stood up straight and this has been a long time coming. hillary clinton now, always is a hot topic in the political world and a new book coming out this week saying that this will be her next run for the white house. here is one of the book's co authors today on "meet the press." >> they share different goals. that is going to think an interesting moment if bill clinton can be the one he was for barack obama. she has it made.

she can take it all wait to the white house. i think if he is the bill clinton from 2008 that is a precarious situation. >> so anna, will bill clinton help or hurt the campaign in 2016? >> first let's admit we don't know, this is a premature conversation. assuming there is, i think there are pros and cons. there is a pro to having a political professional who has a wide and strong fund raising network all over the country. it simimportant if she runs we are not judging her on her last night. we are judging her on her actions and proposals. she has to stand on her own two legs and heels. i was going to say do you want to make a wager on that. if i had i would have been wrong

i'm republican, i don't bet unless it is $10,000 darling. >> in case you don't remember, that was mitt romney 2012 you are on fire. >> rand paul is a potential hillary opponent and looking more likely than chris christie. he is already trying to make bill clinton an issue recently calling him a sexual predator from the monica lewinski affair. >> i don't know senator paul at all. if he is willing to take advice stop it. if you are ryou are trying to c bill clinton in a scandal that happens 20 years ago. you need to think about a new

skraty. bill clinton had his highest approval rating. his highest. if you think this is the strategy to derail her campaign, then you are -- that is a very, very poor strategy. >> okay, i want you to do me a favor, right? anna, can you move your shoulders to the left so we can see behind you and look at the opposite. can you see that? look at miami behind anna and look at chicago behind lz and look at the snow behind me anna i'm coming where you are. >> where you are, gay marriage is legal. >> it is legal here in chicago as well. >> i like having my own money and keeping my own property as well. >> get married. everyone wants to get mary.

>> with many of those things come divorce. i know we have to go, relax pro vieweders. so stand by guys. just when we thought the bus around chris christie was fading. up next why new jersey's major newspaper said it made a mistake during the re-election campaign. ish ♪ ♪ abe! get in! punch it!
