worst has already occurred. many of us will be looking at improvement over the next 24 hours but lots to talk about on the busiest travel day of the year, retain close it to the coast, winter remix west of there, snow farther inland, we will wind down through the afternoon. a lot of rainfall from north carolina all the way into maine. you see yellows in the mix indicative of pockets of heavier rain, certainly looking at a localized flooding along parts of the i-95 corridor and improvement in the afternoon in new york city but rain will continue into the evening from boston into parts of new england. you cease and pink starting to develop west of the main band of rain. in a place like new york city the rain could end as a little bit of snow. if that comes down hard enough it could code those roadways albeit briefly so still looking at the potential for slippery travel as we head into the course of the afternoon. the passage of the system will usher in a cold air mass for the

1:05 pm
friends this precipitation could end in the northeast in washington and new york in freezing precipitation. what is the problem? >> the problem is we will get this winter remix in the d.c. metro area so that could cause delays and cancellationss and we know there could be a ripple effect. for new york it sounds like the good news is it may not insulated tonight, most folks tried to get a destination. >> we will keep our fingers crossed. the line is not bad. here's a good piece of news, you know we had the merger news, approval of the merger and look at the airline stocks today. delays on the board, cancellations but stocks are flying high. everybody likes the merger in terms of airline stocks, some people would argue the reason is a little bit of decreased competition out there. however you want to slice it is a good day for the airlines at
1:06 pm
least on wall street if not in the air. dennis: might have to do with target capacity. you are inside and warm, good to see you having a wonderful thanksgiving. this holiday travel season will see the most air travelers since 2007 but with nasty weather sweeping across the united states, traveling to see your loved ones could become complicated. travel zoo and senior editor knows what to do to help you get around this holiday travel season. what do you do right now if you are on one of those flights they talked about being delayed or canceled? what do you do if stuck at o'hare or one of those airports? >> you want to get really show me with your airline, stay connected, download their apps, they will let you know where the airport delays are and check their iphone apps, an hour at la guardia and jfk. maybe you are connecting to
1:07 pm
these estimations or airline apps, where your flight is coming from the subject a flight or two back to see how backed up your flight might be in the system. having a hundred for the airline all is a smart idea because usually you get help ttere before getting to the front of the line at the counter should your flight be canceled. adam: delta, if you two@delta to their support staffs they respond quite quickly. would that be one avenue of assistance? >> this is a new generation of communications. tweeting the airlines love to respond to positive tweets and responsive with negative ones as well. often times it is travelers on the ground that elders airlines to what is going on in real time answering counters, certain airports, certain terminals that busier airports so certainly that is a new wave of letting airlines know what is going on and how you are reacting as consumers and you often get a lot of things done more quickly. adam: is it good on days like
1:08 pm
the day -- today? >> if you are proactive and got insurance before the flight took off there's always known carol where if there's a storm already brewing, tried to buy insurance for your ticket a day or two ago when we knew based on what was rolling toward the northeast odds were slim that an insurance character -- carrier would cover the flight for cheaper but generally speaking you can buy insurance for your ticket up to 24 hours before you actually fly so you have to fly on sunday or monday if you are looking at potential for ripple effect and want to be extra safe, 5% or 10% more on not $200 tickets would ensure things like whether delays. adam: what does the insurance coverage? doesn't put you in a hotel or reimburse you for the missed flight? >> it varies from carrier to carrier but it will cover the essentials. let's say you are stuck for 24 hours you have extra food costs,
1:09 pm
pind a hotel room, some have concierge services that will help you tweet rental car reservations and certainly with limits on extra costs when it comes to things like whether delays it is some of the extra costs that you will incur before the airline puts you on the next flight. adam: what is the reality of collecting on that? have you crunch data? sounds like a great idea but to get reimbursed isn't it hansel -- a hassle? >> when people fly who were proactive and actually have their flights or trips in short for a weekend like this the insurance companies will be very proactive, people who are spending more money on food having to spend an extra night in new york these are expenses with certain limits that will be reimbursed. there is a really good sort of editorial job comparing these different plans out there but you are paying 5% to 10%

1:48 pm
30 percent of their holdings, but you add to that the problem of those funds, not necessarily oppenheimer, but a lot of funds holding unrated debt. for instance, jefferson county alabama some of the agencies would not rated, but the people bought it. >> that is the case. when you are buying mutual funds are hoping to get diversification, but it is important to understand where. some funds have loaded up on puerto rican bonds, although a few of them, but some of those are doing so. other funds are really stretching for yields combine things that are not rated. non rated bonds tend to offer a higher yield. you have to go inside, look at the portfolio and be able to understand what you're buying because you're not buying an individual bond but a collection across the country in all likelihood. adam: if my bond fund is chasing yield what is wrong with that? chances are i notice this year, don't like? >> hopefully you do. but if you bought it in that time when the high-yield
1:49 pm
municipal bond market was doing well which was what was happening in 2012, you are rewarded for taking on risk. the funds that are offering above average yields and those taking an above-average rest are getting hurt quite badly in 2013, among the worst performing funds, the ones that either have a lot of non rated bonds or bonds that are rated, but are tied to burger rico, where, as i am sure you've talked about, bonds are not performing very well. adam: the last one we had was the state's downgrade with the potential target of jim going to jog, but at the end of the day those funds are performing well. having to sell perhaps rated bonds that actually do perform better in order to meet the cash calls that might be takingace. he wants to buy an unrated bonds or even some of these high-yield per rican bonds that are just too risky. >> that is the case for some of them. a bit of a circular problem and that we are seeing money moves out of municipal bond funds because of the bad performance. and as we have seen, the money
1:50 pm
