screen. jeanne moos, cnn, new york. >> leave it to jeanne. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer. join us weekdays in the situation room from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. eastern. every saturday at 6:00 p.m. eastern. and at this time every weekend on cnn international. the news continues next. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com top of the hour, thanks for joining us. the last week of october feels a lot like the depths of winter for millions of people tonight. you're lucky if you're at home and be out in it. snow is falling from the mid-atlantic states through the northeast. and the winter, well, the winter-like blast, i should say, is causing all kinds of problems. snarling air travel and knocking out power to thousands of people. we're on top of all this for

you. cnn reporters and anchors out in forceful our weather anchor chad smirs in pennsylvania. and standing by in the severe weather center. we want to start with our meteorologist out in the field. i spoke to you a little while ago. is it still snowing? >> reporter: it's still snowing and it is noticeably colder than a couple hours ago. so the slush on the ground right now is starting to turn into ice. and you may say, what are you in the parking lot for? we're in the parking lot where there is electricity. people are literally out driving around, looking for something with power. because their houses are without power. there are so many houses without power in this area, they're getting cold and hungry. they're driving around looking for a restaurant that's open. this happens to be one that's

open. this is very heavy snow, don. it is just a perfect snowman's snow. the problem, there are still leaves on the trees everywhere here. so these trees are literally splitting in half. and especially the pears. they have no chance in this weather. those trees and power lines and branchs are all coming down all at once. the power is just about, i just saw lights go out right there. in fact over may shoulder. this will be the case for all of the northeast. we have at least now a half a million people without power and almost 100,000 people in pennsylvania alone. this is one of the hardest hit areas and we don't even have the wind that's coming up later tonight. and jacque will tell us about. we can show her. she is helping to operate the radar for you. as we talk about this, let's continue to talk to chad out there. you're standing there, it looks like a packing lot. what people don't realize know we're in the field. the viewer would like to know where we are.

you showed us the snow but i would imagine this is indicative of what people are facing. >> reporter: this is what we're seeing. i'll walk around the area and show you this slop. this is what's on the roadway. this is just slush at this point in time. when temperature get to 27, 28 degrees, that won't take very long for that to happen. this is all going to freeze up. this is going to be one skating rink here. a sheet of ice coming up in the next hour. there are people driving here from new york because they don't have any power. they're seeing the lights on. hey, we can have dinner. let's watch the football game them get inside and have a a great time and a couple cocktails and then they're driving home on a sheet of ice. this will be kind of a wreck for some people. this will be a at that cal place to drive around with the power lines coming down for the rest of the day and night, people are still hearing cracks in the distance. you hear a crack. the lights flash. the power go out and the power companies are telling us, as soon as they get one power line up, literally, they're called to the next line.

trees are coming down left and right. >> all right. chad myers standing by. thank you. just got noticed, the governor just declared a state of emergency for saturday evening for the garden state because of poor weather conditions. >> 500,000. he just tweeted in new jersey alone. and chad just mentioned 500,000 in pennsylvania. so you add those numbers together know we're talking a million people and i know that there are hundreds of thousands on top of that in places like connecticut, into new york as well as into maryland. this is a lot of people without power and i hate to say this, but chad kind of alluded to it there. those winds are going to start picking up. the storm is still getting stronger as we speak. so we've got these limbs that are hanging by a thread right now. heavy snow. these limbs are covered with leaves in many of the areas. once those winds continue to kick up, we'll see more. this happening overnight. so it is a good idea, certainly,

to stay home. as you can see on the radar picture, chad is in this area. his snow is starting to taper off at this time. look at this heavy snow out there. upstate new york, down through poughkeepsie into northern new jersey, into western parts of connecticut, into western parts of massachusetts. this is we are we're seeing as much as two inches of snow per hour. so those accumulations are really going to start kicking in. and those winds, sustained now about 20 plus miles per hour. and over here off long island, we're starting to see reports around 40. that's the sustained winds. that's the average three-minute wind speed. that doesn't even have to do anything with the gusts which could reach 50 to 60 miles per hour. so certainly very extensive with this thing. let's talk about the totals that we'll expect all together once this thing is said and done. well over a fat in those areas. i-95, really, the big key corridor if you're west of there. forget about it. definitely stay home tonight. on the coast, this is mostly a rain event for you. if you're right in that

corridor, overall you can expect to see one to two inches. a fast-moving storm. that's the best thing i can tell you. by this time tomorrow, bye-bye. over and done with. the temperatures will warm up, too. tomorrow you'll be in the upper 40s to 50s. a lot of melting will take place very, very quickly. if you're trying to travel, that could take a little longer. we have other major delays. cnn confirming that all flights have been canceled in newark. jfk, five hours. over two hours in philadelphia l.a. guard i can't, not reporting those delays. but i'm going to guess that has a lot to do with cancellations. we were looking at 5-hour delays earlier today. it has been a mess for travelers. >> we're trying to get in touch with richard roth. >> he's been on the plane for hours. i think we're talking six hours maybe now in connecticut. >> where is he stuck? hartford. so there we go. we say it and it comes up. hartford. >> there is a tower cam.

>> courtesy of our affiliate. the camera is focusing. we don't have control of these cameras. >> people are still out there driving tonight. >> you said forget about it. we talked about new jersey, what the governor is doing. let's go to new york now. another neighboring state. the cold wet weather, testing the result of the occupy protesters in new york. that's we are we find susan candiotti standing by for us. take us inside that park. give us the conditions and tell us what people, how they're dealing with it. >> reporter: i think you can see by looking at the conditions and the rain blowing side warks it is ugly. you can see the tents in some cases are barely holding on. a lot of people have tacked them down as best they can. we've seen more than one blow apart. so it is miserable. they had heavy wet snow earlier on in the day. the only good thing if you can put it that way is that these

trees here are relatively young. and you can see that the snow, even if it had stuck to them, wouldn't weigh them down too much. so that branches would be breaking down and falling on top of people. thank goodness that hasn't happened. we did have a kansas to talk to the protesters here and how they're roughing it. despite the conditions, the chant is, in the snow, in the street, occupy wall street. they're still marching in this sleet. it's rough out here. you spend the night here? >> i've been here 20 days. >> reporter: what was it like all night? >> it was freezing cold all night. terrible. >> reporter: how did you manage to stay warm? >> just huddled together and try to keep our body heat together and stay warm that way. >> reporter: the obvious question is, how can you bear this? >> i don't know. it's just for the cause, i

suppose. >> reporter: how long do you think you can stand these conditions? >> until something gets resolved in washington. >> reporter: who whngs that will be? >> that's true. >> reporter: it could be a long know hard winter. >> it could be a long, hard winter. >> reporter: that's correct. walking through the park here, it is fill with tents. over here, you've got the place that's always had everyone serving food. they've got -- some fresh fruit coming in here. you've got a shipment of bananas to hand out to people. is this your ten? can you show us? >> everything is folded up. you're more than welcome to come in. you're prepared to stick this out through the winter. >> yep. >> reporter: why? >> it's worth it. i'm so passionate. it's worth it. i'm ready to see change. >> reporter: and i think the immediate change they would like to see now is a change in the weather. that sleet is hitting may face. so far they've taken away about ten people to be treated for

hypothermia. we saw an ambulance hear a little while ago. back to you. >> susan candiotti in new york. thank you very much. we're seeing major air travel, slowdowns across the region. new york and philadelphia among hardest hit. richard was stranded aboard a jet blue flight in hartford, could not kochbl i think he is off the plane now. how is it going? >> reporter: after four hours and more trapped on this plane on the ground at bradley international airport, i'm off the plane. 100 passengers got off, not knowing if we will take off. there are several planes here. many cancellations at bradley international. our jet blue flight from syracuse to jfk, new york, almost made it in. but it was diverted at the last minute and the crew said the ground navigational gear may have broke. i always hear of these travel horror stories and you hope one day you're not one of those

stories. and so a flight that would normally take 45 minutes has taken so far seven hours. and we don't know yet if we'll be taking off. a remarkably calm and good humored group of passengers. if it was a different set of people traveling from new york, i would say people would have lost more patience. there was at one point a call for a doctor on the plane and someone was administered oxygen. back to you. >> we're looking at a shot of you on the plane. it looks like you're surrounded by some very frustrated passengers. one of the passengers on board your plane e-mailed us and described the nation as a nightmare. so i guess you would concur as well. richard roth, thank you. best of luck to you. we'll check back with richard roth a little later on. in two minutes, something you don't satisfy every day. a high-speed chase where the car being pursued is a police car and it is driven by a cop. >> and later this hour, do you ever get auto corrected?

( laughing ) it's actually a pretty good day when you consider. that's great. . the question is who wins between a police officer and a state trooper? this wasn't exactly a race. you're looking at, and live were put in danger. on october 11th, this speeding police officer refused to pull over for a florida trooper leading her on a chase in excess of, get this, 120 miles per hour. the officer's skews when he was pulled over at gunpoint, he was

late for a second job. joining me now on the phone, the detective steve rogers from nutley, new jersey. first, this story sounds crazy. have you heard anything like this before? >> it's not only crazy, it's very troubling. no excuse for anyone let alone a police officer to take another police officer on a 120-mile-an-hour chase. it troubles me, it bothers me. wave got a lot of good cops out there who work so hard to gain the trust of the public. and one incident like this actually causes the public to question all of us. it's terrible. >> many times, some police departments don't do high speed chases or pursuits because they're too dangerous. and to satisfy an officer doing it, it sort of goes along with your sentiment. did the florida highway officer, d.j. watts, handle the chase and the arrest properly? >> a high-speed chase results in

putting many lives in danger. not only the person that is initiating the chase but also the officers who are chasing that person. and as you look at the video, look at all the traffic around. if that officer who was violating the law lost control of that car, we would be seeing a video with multiple injuries and perhaps death. >> the officer has been charged with second-degree reckless driving, a misdemeanor. is this punishment, does it fit the crime? >> well, each state has different policies and procedures and laws. i can tell what you will happen here. the florida the police department, the miami pd is awaiting the court case, which is the right thing to do. i'm sure there will be an internal affairs investigation. i can bet may bottom dollar this officer will be us is penaltied perhaps, for a long time. it's aer is a just crime. this is not careless driving. this is reckless driving.

this never should have happen. no excuse. i have to tell you. i have to hand it to that trapper. she did her job professionally and i hope that people look at her as a model more than the officer who committed this act. >> you said would probably be suspended for a long time. do you think he'll lose his job? >> there is a possibility, i can tell you that. in new jersey if an officer lost his driver's license, he is in danger of losing his job. and this guy could very well lose his job. >> thank you very much. retired detective steven rogerers rogers. up next, a suicide bomber takes aim and there are believed to be american casualties. omorr. your husband put this all together when emma was born. he was an amazing man. this is for you. it's all paid off. ♪ and this is for emma. so where do you think she'll go?

there was a suicide bombing in kabul today. americans are believed among 17 people killed in the attack on an armored personnel carrier. the strike was one of three across the country. nick peyton walsh has more from kabul tonight. >> reporter: a suicide bomber driving a vehicle laden with explosives ran into a nato convoy. detonating this device and hitting an armored bus known as a rhino. they haven't clarified casualties in this. there are eight isaf civilian person and he will five military. the nationality is not clear. a u.s. official saying then all

13 of them americans. but it now transpires, one according to canadian military was a canadian soldier. so really this fluid situation perhaps a testament to the sheer scale of the blast here. an enormous amount of explosive required to blow up these buses used to ferry personnel. this is one of a number inassistants during the day. another blast, a suicide bomber, age 25, we understand from afghan officials. they're detonating a device hidden under her burqa outside the afghan intelligence service. >> as deadly as this month has been for our troops, it still trails far behind august. 71 american troops were killed that month. it was the deadliest for u.s. forces in afghanistan since the campaign began. 30 of those casualties came in a rocket propelled grenade took down a chinook helicopter in wardak province. 17 of those victim were nay
