four cities in the path of this storm, chicago, cleveland, boston and new york. it's chicago that's feeling the brunt of it today. blizzard conditions that could rival some of the city's biggest snowfalls. we have full coverage. our national correspondent ryan young is in chicago. martin savidge in cleveland and tom joins us from the severe weather center. ryan i always say this. it's best when you're first assignment at cnn is in a blizzard because then you really know what you're in for.cn. how cnn. how is it looking? >> reporter: i've never felt a blizzard before. we've been up since 3:45 amtraking the storm. the conditions have gotten worse. i want to point down this direction. you can see some of the guys trying to clean the side streets here. they done a good job keeping the

roads open. all public transportation is still running. there are more than 300 trucks out on the road trying to employee the roads here. we also learned more than 15,000 people are without power. you can imagine the temperature starting to drop and it's getting cold. you can see the snow blowing sideways at this point. it pelts you in the face. they want to make sure the roads are ready for tomorrow. school will happen. not only will school happen people will be able to get to work. we've seen people all day like this gentleman just walking through the snow saying this is not too bad. they are getting as much snow today as they got all last month. a major snow event. >> when it comes to the airports i've heard it's pretty much a nightmare at o'hare. >> reporter: a nightmare over 1100 flights cancelled. you know how important that airport is to the entire nation. you can imagine the business travelers that will be affected.

with all this snow flowing you never know what's going to happen tomorrow with everybody trying to get out of certain places in the midwest. >> i'll tell you, i grew up in the snow for many many years in minnesota. you'll get used to it. it takes about five or ten years so good luck. >> reporter: everybody in chicago says this is not too bad. >> thank you so much. stay warm. let's go to northern ohio. they are feeling the force of the storm. marty is there in cleveland, his hometown. you were not going to go cover this blizzard. >> reporter: i'm not sure what happened but here i am. great to be back home. that's for certain. cleveland is no chicago, at least when it comes to the weather. like chicago, they're probably dealing with the worst snowfall of this winter season so far. we still got a long way to go. they got about five inches on the ground. it's really pretty. this is where it's a pretty

snowfall. the trees are coated with it. the streets look nice. this is the hour where things are beginning to turn. the amount of snow expected, nine inches or so. we can go from pretty to pretty miserable. it's expected from this point on through the night the most intense snowfall will happen. the streets are snow covered on the square. highs are slushy to wet. it's tricky out there. right now it's sunday super bowl most folks are staying home, staying safe. cleveland not so bad. western ohio facing the conditions that ryan was seeing in chicago. a snow emergency level three. that's toledo. they're expecting a foot of snow. the wind is starting to pick up. >> of course it's beautiful there and people there are used to the snow. i worry about folks after the

super bowl driving home late at night. are the officials warning people in terms of being really careful when driving? >> reporter: they have been. they've been telling people even in the daytime they've been encouraging people to turn their lights on. be aware the it's treacherous out here. maybe it's not the blizzard of the century but if you've stayed out late it snowed while you were inside. the conditions changed. be aware of that. be careful. take that extra measure of care. >> thanks. appreciate it. city's farther east are bracing for their second big snowstorm in a week. boston hometown to the new england patriots expected to get up to a foot of snow late tonight after the super bowl. boston public schools already closed for tomorrow. new york city where i am also preparing for this storm. the storm could create a nightmare in terms of the condition in new york city beginning late tonight. we got this warning from the mayor earlier today.

>> for anyone leaving super bowl parties, you're going to have to be ready to be careful at that point. you could have some beginning of accumulation snow. you could have clip ri driving conditions. i want to urge people to think ahead, have a designated driver. don't drink and drive under any circumstance but not on a night where it could be snowy and icy. >> the temperatures have already plummeted here out east. take a look at these firefighters. this picture i saw this morning and i found it incredible. these are firefighters that were battling a huge blaze in brooklyn yesterday. it was so freezing you can see what happened. it's just as cold today. let's get a look at the big picture of this storm with me. cnn meteorologist. a hundred people people affected by this storm. how is it going to get so bad and what hours are we talking

about where people need to be particularly careful? >> this is an elongated storm. it's unlike like week's nor'easter where half as many people were affected. there's a variety of weather going on here. the blizzard warning is because winds were up to 35. the employeeing snow visibilities dropped. it's a drier snow. you get closer down to where it changes over to rain or that ice line. this is the heavier snowfall. it's a variety. notice columbus pittsburgh in the adviceseory or just below. new york is in the warning. boston too. let's break it down. chicago already some areas. 11 12 13 even 14". if you get 14 in o'hare that will break your top ten greatest snows. indianapolis has been right at

freezing mark. they've seen a bit of a mix. columbus you're above freezing. pittsburgh you're at 33. doesn't mean you're not going to see any snow because the wrap around cold air will give you a blast behind it which could drop a dusting to an inch. if you have heavy rain it will wash off the salt. washington, d.c. you're all rainfall. philadelphia maybe a dusting before it changes over. new york, this is interesting. around midnight hour you'll get into the snowfall. around 4 or 5:00 it changes to an icy mix for your morning rush. then it briefly goes over to rain. again, everything is just crazy. on cape cod you go to rain. that's great for nantucket. in boston you're looking at a foot. that goes over to detroit, cleefds. the cleveland. interior sections of new

england. frigid air which not only single digit low temperatures but wind chills minus ten. it's going to be kaupa couple of day offense this. we'll have a secondary blast to keep the snow around and keep the wind chills dangerously low. >> i know exactly what it's going to look like at the airport trying to get there. thank you so much. the daughter of whitney houston is in a medically induced coma as we speak after being found unresponsive face down in the bathtub. now we have the breaking details on her condition, next.

we have news on the

condition of whitney houston's daughter, bobbikristina. she was found unresponsive in a bathtub by her husband. i know you just severreceived some new information about her condition. >> reporter: we have known she was in this medically induced coma but a source says that bobbi kristina is in the intensive care unit. her condition has been stabilized. she's breathing with the use of a ventilator. we have received a statement from bobby brown, singer bobby brown in which he says privacy is requested this this matter. allow for my family to deal with this matter and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time. obviously a very difficult time for mr. brown as well. >> i know there's been a lot of talk about how doctors are going to be able to measure her brain

function, her brain condition because she was found unresponsive. do we know anything about that if they're going to be reducing the medication at all? what the steps are going forward? >> reporter: they have to determine once the sedatives dissipate they will have to determine how much brain activity she has. tat relates to why they put her in the medically induced coma in the first place. a doctor told me this that when the brain is robbed of oxygen or blood for an extended period of time there's difficulty in getting blood to parts of the brain. they reduce the need for blood to get to all the parts of the brain by reducing the activity. that's why she's in this coma. sometimes people are in it for days weeks and in rare cases months. not many details coming from the hospital. a source tells sonni that this

will be waiting game. >> stay with me. i want to play our viewers some audio. this is police dispatch audio obtained from yesterday. listen. >> responding to an echo level response. possible cardia arrest. 21-year-old family in the bathtub, face down. >> there's still a lot of questions. was anything happening? we know there are these instagram photos of her just normal self-ies the night before. do we know her husband and friend found her. were they in that home at the time or had they come home to find her like this. >> police have not, if they not that they have not made that public. she was found at 10:30 a.m. on saturday morning. the question is were they or her husband gordon was he inside the home all night or just come home and find her in that condition.

that's one of the things we do not know. we do not know why she was face down in that bathtub and how long she had been there. >> reporting live for us from outside of that hospital. bring us any updates as you get them. thank you. coming up next japan mourning the loss of kenji. a 47-year-old journalist killed by isis. the nation's emotional tribute to him, next. >> all these months later he's the boogeyman that scares the west. he's articulate. he's scary looking. you can't see anything about him besides the knife and his eyes. >> he's got a nickname jihadi john. the british militant fighting for isis and the man behind the gruesome beheading of several hostages. the fbi believes they know who he is and where he's from. why has he been so hard to track down. we'll discuss, next. push your enterprise and you can move the world. ♪ ♪

military pilot captured by isis now more than a month ago. so far they have gotten no proof of life no evidence has been offered to assure jordan that this 26-year-old pilot is indeed still alive. isis has suggested it would kill him if jordan does not release a convicted terrorist in prison there. the mother of kenji goto is vocalizing her grief. she wants people to remember her son's efforts to make this world a better place. >> translator: i don't want this sorrow to create a chain of hatred. kenji worked for children who suffered from conflicts and poverty and his goal was to create a society without war. >> he also leaves behind a wife and two young daughters. japan is refusing to let isis dominate the news cycle as this

nation mourns. they are focusing their attention on telling powerful stories about how he lived his life instead of dwelling on his brutal murder. >> reporter: when the word around him was at its worst, friends say he was at his best. a heart that pulled goto where few others dared go. >> i found him different from the others. >> reporter: he remembers his strong handshake and stronger passion for journalism. >> why do you think he went into dangerous places like iraq allepo? >> the terrorists. >> reporter: stories he shared with anyone who would listen giving lectures like this one for unicef about syria's bloody conflict.

he made this video in late october before his final trip to syria. he disappeared hours later in isis held territory and reappeared two weeks ago in this propaganda video next to his friend captured by isis two months earlier. >> why do you think he went to syria? >> maybe he want to rescue his friend. >> reporter: long time friend and wartime journalist said he always made time to call his family when on the road which made his direct pleas to his wife in separate isis videos all the more heartbreaking. >> why they kill him? >> reporter: the final video showed goto facing death with courage and dignity. >> translator: i have nothing now by tears said his mother hours after the news broke. >> reporter: goto was the lead story on every channel.

protesters stood in silence. >> it's very sad. japanese journalist have to go coverage the war zone. >> reporter: he fears he paid the price for his prime minister's public pledge to support the coalition against isis. he says despite be risk he's willing to go back. >> we have to continue. >> reporter: he says his final story is his own life, a story of kindness courage and compassion. a story to share with his two young daughters who lost their father to the same conflict he dedicated his life to cover. cnn, tokyo. >> will thank you. he's the monster inside of isis who has brutally murdered hostages on camera. he speaks english. he will not show his face. security officials here and i broad are pretty sure they know who he is. we'll talk about the isis executioner known as jihadi

now to the hunt for the so-called jihadi john. the isis militant with the menacing voice and british accent showing up in another video appearing to behead another hostage. beginning with james foley and japanese journalist kenji goto. >> isis is capturing the pr war, using this individual. all these months later he's the boogeyman that scares the west. he's articulate. he's scary looking. you can't see anything about him besides the knife and his eyes. >> back in september officials said the hunt for jihadi john is getting warmer. he is still taunting the world

five months later. let's talk about it with former fbi director. not only officials in britain but those in the fbi telling our pamela brown here she reported extensively on it they're pretty certain they know where he's from in the uk but who he is. however, they are keeping his identity a secret. why is that? >> the main reason is they don't want to alert everybody who may be in communication that they're onto him or onto them. they have to try to identity his support cell. who he communicates with back in england or in other western countries. i think they are trying to keep his band together in that sense so they can try to track them better have better opportunity to track him. >> it's a good point in the hunt for bin laden, one of the keys wa was a courier who went to and

from the home where he was camping out and that's what led intelligence officials to be certain that's where he was. that's the same tactic being used here? >> i think so. i think that's a big part of what they're doing here. >> when you look at the importance of him, do you believe that he is strategically important to isis or see him much more as a propaganda tool? >> i think both. i think the fact that someone becomes that big of a propaganda tools makes them important. he was just talking and promoting jihad and he did so much success at recruiting people, putting out his dvds and extremist literature that it elevated his status to becoming increasingly more powerful within al qaeda and the arabian

peninsula. i think that would apply to jihadi john. the more he gets people to go to syria and join up gives him great value. >> the fight against isis is a fight not just in one place. it's a fight in iraq. many have said we're making much more headway in iraq than syria. are you concerned about the lack of ability to gather intelligence on isis in syria in particular? >> absolutely. we don't have the same extenseive networks to penetrate them. we had people in iraq. we don't have in place with handful of syrian fighters in syria. when you're not there or given sump a such a head start to place themselves in powerful position in syria and iraq you make it difficult to try to penetrate

them afterward to get in. now it does become a battle of the propaganda war. >> isis holding three more hostages at this point in time and there could be more. thank you. we appreciate it. >> thank you. president obama defending his decision to not label the fight against terrorism as a war on radical islam. the president sitting down for an exclusive interview discussing just that. >> i don't quibble with labels. i think we all recognize this is a particular problem that has roots in muslim communities, and that the middle east and south asia are sort of ground zero for us needing to win back hearts and minds when it comes to young people. i think we do ourselves a disservice in this fight if we are not taking into account the fact that the overwhelming majority of muslims reject this

ideology. >> a republican senator slamming the president for his stance on that. labeling the enemy is critical. >> it very much matters because you have to define your enemy. here's the problem. i think they should spend less time on being worried about being politically correct, about how we define or enemies and more time on a strategy to defeat them. >> that from her appearance this morning on fox news. also some republicans still criticizing the president's response to the deadly attacks in paris last month. that's when the president described the shooting and hostage taking as violent extremism instead of rooting them in radical islam. coming up a new report that that could change the deflate-great controversy. a lot of people in the winter storm zone.

hello, chicago. you got a lot of snow to deal with right now and the airport is an absolute nightmare. if you're watching us from chicago, stay in cozy up and enjoy the super bowl. also cleveland taking the brunt of this storm. the city could get up to half a foot of snow tonight alone. joining me on the phone dan williams. how you guys doing preparing for this storm? i know it's coming down heavy. >> it is. it's coming on and off kind of sporadic now. i think the snow started up a little while ago again. it was coming down pretty heavy earlier today around noon. >> what do we know about what you -- go ahead. >> i was going to say as far as preparation for the city this is cleveland. we do prepare well. last night and during the day today we had 20 crews on two

different shifts during the day today and last night in preparation for the snow that came this morning. tonight at 11:00 p.m. there will be 40 crews on throughout the night to make sure the roads remain clear. focus really is on the emergency routes first to make sure those remain clear for emergency response vehicles of those who need to respond across the city and those critical corridors. >> i think one of the big concerns is with the super bowl tonight. folks are going to be out at super bowl parties at the bars. many people will be drinking. what are you saying to people warning them about driving in these conditions when the snow will be coming down harder? >> people make decisions like that. in light of the weather i think they might use a little more caution. we're cautioning people to do

that, to check the weather reports to make sure it's clear. if they can stay home we encourage them to do that. there's a few points here. one, watch the weather reports. it changes hourly. stay home if you can. then check on your neighbors and friends and the elderly especially. for those who are emergency workers, we just want to remind them and thank them first of all. the police the fire emergency medical services the hospital workers. those who have to be on duty we want to say thanks to them for their work during the difficult challenging weather that's ahead. >> yeah. no question about it. enjoy the super bowl. thanks for calling in. good luck to everyone dealing with the storm. it's coming our way as well. some incredible images. three climbers had to be rescued

from high up. it was two separate accidents. man and a woman teethered together fell nearly 600 feet down be mountains. they were air lifted to an area hospital. >> they fell and slid into a volcanic vent. a mountain rescue team was in the area training when the emergency call went out. they were all rescued. coming up next guess what? deflate deflate-gate has been solved and the culprits have come forward, sort of. a live report from the super bowl. andy has that for us. >> weaver're under an hour away from kickoff. give you the latest on deflate-gate. it's good. does it make the short list? you remembered that too. yea, i'm afraid so. knowing our clients personally is what we do.

time for a little bit of fun. the mystery over deflate-gate has finally, really finally, totally solved all over and done with. not totally. take a look at how the locker room guy finally revealed himself to talk show host jimmy kimmel. >> i did it. i'm the perpetrator. you don't want to believe me. i'm turning myself in.

i'm from massachusetts. you don't believe me go [ bleep ] yourself. i love you touchdown tommy. >> it was me. >> it was me. sg it was all me. >> it was totally me. >> i am the locker room guy. >> i am the locker room guy. >> i'm the locker room guy. >> i'm the locker room guy. >> take a good look america. i'm the locker room guy. >> tom brady has nothing to do with this because he was too busy being awesome. >> let me ask you a question. who are you going to believe tom brady, the greatest man in all of humanity or a bunch of [ bleep ] on twitter. >> six super bowls, three championships, two mvps. >> and those lips. >> amen those lips. >> it wasn't brady. >> unless he deflated those footballs with his piercing baby blew eyes. >> belichick was my chemistry teacher. you don't know. >> i acted alone.

>> do you know why you acted alone? because nobody wants to act with you. >> all right. maybe jimmy hasn't exactly found the real locker room guy. on a much more serious note a new report from the nfl network just out today could shed light on this deflate-gate controversy. it says 11 of 12 footballs were judged to be under the minimum of 12.5 psi but just one was two pounds under significantly under. many of them were a few ticks under the minimum. what does this mean? what report should we believe? andy is joining us from the big game. what do you make of this report? >> it's really nothing that new. they've just changed the fact that the 11 of 12 were under inflated.

one of them by 2 psi. the other by just a tick. what a tick exactly is that's up for interpretation. this may play into patriots head coach that the weather actually deflated the balls. we'll have to wait and see. the findings are supposed tom out a week or two after the super bowl. the quarterback took a lot of heat. the first quarterback to start in six super bowls and if he wins he's join terry bradshaw as the only quarterbacks to win four. >> it's amazing sitting here thinking that this is the sixth time i'll be doing this and it's really a privilege. i've been very lucky over the years to play on great teams and you really want to be as best i don't say can be because the margin of error against these teams you're playing and against

the seahawks there's no real mor margin for error. we'll have to play our best. >> if you're trying to get a ticket to today's game sometime this afternoon or this morning unless you sold your car you're probably out of luck. all day tickets on stub hub was about $10,000. the ticket for the super bowl today is probably going to go down as the most expensive in sports history. some other fun facts, according to pregame.com an estimated $10 billion is expected to be wagered on the super bowl worldwide. you can bet on all kinds of stuff whether bill belichick will smile on the sideline. what katy perry will be wearing. you can bet on what color drink will get poured on the winning coach. >> belichick not smiling until that gatorade is over his head. we'll see what happens. thank you very much. when the super bowl kicks off in

just about an hour's time you can bet the reves, players, fans will be paying attention to those footballs. coach bill belichick said they tested their own balls. gary talked to the people who make the footballs. they say belichick's explanation doesn't exactly square. >> reporter: before any nfl player receives a football from the quarterback, the team receives the footballs from here. the wilson sporting goods football factory in tiny ada, ohio. every single football in an nfl game or practice is manufactured here. it's been that way for 74 seasons. >> putting the laces in. just one long lace. >> donna is closing in on 30 years with wilson. she's aware of the scandal known as deflategate. she heard maybe the football

lost air due to changing temperature or weather. no way, she says. >> this ball will not leak unless you put a needle in it. >> i am responsible for the footballs that come out of this factory. >> reporter: he's a 34-year veteran. he wants to be diplomatic in the midst of this nfl investigation and doesn't want people blaming his football. the quality control of the balls should not lose air on their own brought to a stadium played in cold rainy, snowy weather. >> that is correct. >> reporter: they are manufactured to hold the proper amount of psi at all times? >> yes, that's correct. >> reporter: this is the only factory in the world where the sole business is the manufacture of footballs. 3,000 to 4,000 balls are made here each day and 50% of them go

to nfl teams. 50% of footballs go to teams from college to pee-wee and 35% are sold in stores and online. they include these, official super bowl xlix game balls. 108 of them have been sent to the super bowl site in arizona. >> makes us very proud and excited to see the football on the field thinking maybe i sewed that ball they are playing with. >> reporter: each ball is calibrated with the proper pressure. there are a lot of uncertainties on the playing field. here in ada, ohio they say there are no sun certainties in the football. you take pride in your ball? >> absolutely. >> reporter: gary tuckman, cnn, ada, ohio. >> thank you for that. we appreciate it. 100 million people in this country are either getting snow already or getting ready for a lot of itd. take a look at chicago.

live picture this is evening. a full update of where the storm is headed next. before then fit nation is back for the sixth year in a row. dr. sanjay gupta selected six cnn viewers, looking to change their lives. >> reporter: this year is a year of firsts for fit nation. our first married couple, julia and eugene. julia is a midwife who wants to set the right example for patients. linda is the first in her 60s. taking on the challenge at 67 years old. robert a 34-year-old attorney from new mexico saying being diagnose with type ii diabetes. erica got fat eating drinking and having fun. george chip says he's tired of watching people in his community die from preventable diseases.
