a meter of snow. this is just an ice sweet winter snowfall. i'm so happy that it is harry. unless you have heard that sailors ha, getting your snowball fights. the storm is expected to continue until sunday morning until then it stay home or get home as soon as possible. well, keep caught in massachusetts is one of the worst hate regions. and from there i'm joined by meteorologist matthew cook preachy, matthew high, at least 10 states have been affected by the storm. that's one 5th of the entire us . what's the situation like where you are? yeah, morning jerry, you're absolutely right. 70000000 people under different winter storm warnings, blizzard warnings at one point with 10000000 people seeing a foot or more snowfall. now the good news, it's pulling us your now the stores moving into the canadian americans and

eventually kind of out of our neck of the woods. but behind me it left the plastering snow, false boss, and 2nd, biggest storm on record and biggest owner days. know total on record, and as you can see where i am and we see about 19, roughly about 5 meters, which is the most recent years on earth. what is the bond that was like make up there? and basically it's an, a low pressure system that drops in incredible amount of air pressure. $24.00 mil bars and 24 hours. it's actually becoming a vacuum cleaner. stacking more air in rapidly and since fine, but this thing breaking at double the rate needed for bama genesis go from barely a blip on weather maps to a 14 for just the days. it's just absolutely incredible weather in the way you're describing it. now this cold is expected to keep the east group east coast in it's group willing to sunday. what do you think the authorities have it all under control? yes,

so the storm pulls off. sure. we have to remember that low for system spin counterclockwise and now we have winds out of the west, north, west, pulling down a frigid canadian air mass. and a lot of people still don't have power. the entire community of province on cape cod without power about 2030 percent of god. doesn't have power either. they're in the dark, you'll be able to heat their homes now suddenly spinning cold outside know what to do. other interesting element. but down there the road was for there, the roads are loud. it's been about 18 to 24 hours since the snow started. the house can buy one and didn't even plow. this is going to drove over the roadway. we have roughly 30 or 40 centimeters or snow on the road and i've been here for decades. these are the worst road conditions i seen really any point in my life time. just because we have, i think so fall rate, the clips in 10 centimeters per hour. there's no way anyone would be able to pilot really keep up. so they just didn't. and now we're kind of snowed in. now matthew,

last year was a year of extreme weather events. the theory shaping up to be no different just quickly if you could the relationship of this to global warming. yes. so in general, we actually expect to see less no year to year. thanks to communities, climate change. it's obviously it's warmer outside war makes it tough to get but we're times when we're still below freezing. in other words, if we'd otherwise be below freezing, we could actually see a little bit more snow in the biggest storms. because for every degrees celsius the air temperature increases. the atmosphere can hold about 7 percent more water. so we're the biggest storm directors are moisture loading, so more snow falls during big events, but here to year less. no. overall, that was matthew computing in cape cod, massachusetts. matthew enjoyed the snow stay warm. many thanks. thank you. let's get a round up of some of the other stories making world news to day. in northern germany storm nadia brought hurricane light. gusts of wind speeds of up to 130

13 unarmed civilians during a protest in the city of london. dairy, also known as dairy, and the consequences can still be felt today. these people are commemorating one of the darkest chapters of the north northern conflict, one that unfolded 5 decades ago. today. thousands of mostly catholic processes had gathered for a rally against a new law, allowing imprisonment without trial. british troops were deployed to block the marches of to you, started throwing bottles and stones. soldiers responded with tear gas rubber, bullets, and water cannon de paratroopers, also open fi with live rounds, shooting at the marches off. less than half an hour of shooting. 13 marches were dead with over it does more injured. the 14th which succumb to their wounds. months later the soldiers claimed their talk did gunman and bon throw us
