temperatures have changed in the last 24-hours. we have antarctic front that produced muggy conditions across parts of the east yesterday. but today in terms of precipitation much colder temperatures drop by more than 50 degrees in parts of the north carolina in the past 24-hours. incredible stuff with the storm system. otherwise the actual current temperatures in the single digits in new york city, below zero in cities like cleveland, chicago and also minneapolis. you can see the city of memphis. this is an area that is typically a little warmer this time of year but even in parts of tennessee we are talking current temperatures in the single digits. atlanta current temperature 8 degrees. you factor in a wind you are looking at sub zero. we had temperatures reported 32 below zero in cleveland. that is dangerous.

extension but there are some in the gop who want to see some changes to the way feds support america's jobless before they write that big check. >> this plan treats the symptoms. it is like giving aspirin for somebody suffering from cancer for some time. we have to deal with the underlying problems of unemployment in america. the white house wants it done. it would be cruel to deny benefit checks for unemployed families. his team is holding up a history book telling republicans under president bush they were extended five times and the unemployment rate is lower today than it was back then. >> we have just emergent situation right now. we have as i said -- today is the day when people have been cut off. but today is the day they find the check not there.

apples you get more apples. oo you subsidize unemployment you get more of it. that's what economic studies show. we will accept the short term but foenl you build into the bill an unwinding. it isn't an entitlement it is a way to help people temporarily. that would be a good solution. >> krauthammer goes on to say most americans want to work keeping the handouts going would have the opposite effect. obamacare opposition reaching a new high. 68 percent of voters are against the requirement that every american be covered by health insurance. last week 61 percent say healthcare would decline because of obamacare. they dodge questions of how many young people have signed up so far. >> i can tell you the demographic data hasn't
