level, but we'll have that dinner for breakfast here because that's what we do on saturday mornings. >> and we're hungry. >> always. first to the weather and that monster storm wreaking havoc here on the east coast, tens of millions of americans from virginia to maine facing blizzard conditions with up to 2 feet of snow and 70-mile-per-hour winds. >> it's already whipping wind out there, several governors declaring emergencies as the winter nor'easter is on the move. the conditions making travel nearly impossible. close to 3,500 flights have already been canceled, and amtrak suspended service between new york and boston. we have team coverage all across the northeast this morning, let's go back to rob marciano in boston. rob, good morning once again. >> reporter: good morning, whit. it continues to come down here but we're just getting started. i mean, the peak of this storm is going to be midday through mid afternoon. that's when it's really going to start to come down. we might even have some thunder and light, it is so dynamic. wind is whipping around.

three, four inches but already starting to see the wavegh go down to places like new jersey, which some spots have already seen over a foot of snow. a half a foot of snow has fallen in long island. this is a fast-moving system. very explosive system so when it does snow it comes down pretty hard and blowing sideways in 30 to 50 to 60-mile-per-hour winds as it slow tracks right up what is traditionally the path for these blockbuster storms, especially for eastern new england. but the snow does end tonight by 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, but the damage will be done by then. 6 to 12 inches east of philly, up through new york city, hartford, connecticut, ask then east of there and through eastern massachusetts, 12 to 24 inches and i think outside of boston and some of the more favored spots south and west, we could very well see 30 plus inches of snow. and the travel dynamics are

going to be difficult. hopefully it's a saturday, people stay inside because the roads are going to be difficult to keep clear. we'll see drifts, three, four, five feet of snow up against doorways to get out of your house, hunker down, wait till tomorrow and take it slow today. back to you. >> all right, rob, more than 2 feet of snow, that is something to be aware of. thank you so much. all eyes on the weather obviously as we noted, the whipping winds combining with high tides making for a recipe for flooding as well. abc's ike ejiochi is in port washington, new york, with the latest on that part of the story. ike, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, whit. i'm definitely going to take a lesson from rob and remember to get my eyewear next time because the wind coming right now, it makes this snow that's hitting my face feel like little pieces of sand. right now we're seeing wind gusts of about 40 miles per hour here on long island. what that's doing, it's bringing all this water from the sound, pushing it up onto shore creating issues of coastal flooding all the way down from new jersey all the way up to the new england area around massachusetts affecting

potentially millions of americans, and right now this wind gust feels like 1 degree right now. what that is going to do, make the snow stick actually a lot faster and make the roads over here very, very slick. now, here on long island, this community should expect up to 14 inches of snow, but they also could see a storm surge of about 4 feet due to that water right now that's being pushed onto shore. one of the main things making the coastal flooding a possibility, believe it or not is actually the position of the moon. high tide happens twice a day in the morning and in the evening and the way the moon is positioned right now, this weekend actually making those conditions for the water a lot worse. so we're seeing this high wind coming right now. you can see it's blowing me back right now trying to make sure i don't fall into the sound here, it's definitely going to threaten these communities, the businesses, boats and small houses here on the water could threaten with potential flooding. guys.

>> get your footing right. ike, don't fall into the sound. busy out there. thank you so much. we appreciate it. coming up here our sit-down with the oregon mom taking on tech titans in a lawsuit and what parents need to know now about safety on social media. up ahead, it'll make you scream. meet the group of moms leading a stres stress relief revolution. plus, "deals & steals" with sensational savings on saturday skin care. we'll be right back. ♪ i'm gonna get you, get you, get you ♪

effects but also stress parents >> long-term effects from social media, overexposure to social media and overexposure to criticisms on these social media platforms can affect them in numerous ways. they should also be able to talk about balance with their child. >> reporter: facebook has previously said that they work day and night to address any kind of harm by creating systems and policies that will do so. like, for example, if you were on their site and you see a post relating to body image issues or eating disorders, a pop-up will appear offering to connect you with an expert, facebook has also said they do not allow any posts about suicide or self-harm. they have removed certain hashtags completely and also options for things like break reminders, whit. >> zohreen, such a struggle for parents to keep up with all of

endorphins. >> this allowed them to just do something that was a total release for a few minutes and reset themselves. >> reporter: as for the group of moms who let out that collective roar they say there was relief in joining forces. >> to be with moms and allow for our feelings to be expressed is so healing. to release and to let the body intuitively let go of some of what we've been holding for the past two years. if >> reporter: look, as parents here, we were all just saying we would like to get our screams out so we may have to start one of those group. >> not good for the microphone here. >> it is nice to scream with other people. at least you're not alone. >> exactly. >> and not screaming at your family so let it out. now to someone we love to scream with, to boston. >> or at. >> or at. >> sometimes. >> a check of the weather with rob. >> reporter: good morning. again, scream at the top of your lungs if you are a snow lover because it is coming. what is it, ten minutes ago we

it's a saturday. a snow day. haven't had one in over a month. haven't had a storm like this likely since we were here seven years ago almost to the day back in 2015. this is likely going to be a top ten storm for the boston area. not just inland but coastal impacts and fresh video coming out of weymouth, high tide happening a few minutes ago, they had a storm surge of over 3 feet, so some of the roadways there and neighborhoods getting flooded. and we'll see another high tide cycle later on tonight. that's part of the coastal threat with waves 15 to 20 feet high and homes that are precariously perched on some of the cliffs there. snow totals so far, these numbers will go up, over a foot in atlantic city, nearly that in forked river and bridgeport, connecticut, a half a foot and counting. i think this storm overall is going to over perform -- excuse me. my mouth is freezing. so i'm just goi

i feel for rob. i know what it's like to not be able to talk in the cold. we've all done it. >> even with the beard. >> at least we can feel for him because he can't feel his mouth. >> exactly. >> now it's time to bring your own bouquet. the countdown to valentine's day is on and this morning everything is coming up roses because we are saying di why not to putting together our very own blossom bundles. anna is a florist with hundreds of thousands of followers on tiktok. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so i guess let's start with what is in bloom right now? >> so right now a few of my

favorite things are hydrangeas, roses and lilies, flowers you can get at any grocery store right now and what i really love about them is you can get a variety of colors and customize your arrangement and they all have amazing vase life. >> we've got those in front of us now. i'm sorry. we've got those in front of us so our viewers can see and you're going to put us to work, and we're trying our hand at makes these bouquets. how do you get them in tiptop shape? >> so, the first thing you'll want to do is focus on picking out good blooms. one great tip with roses, when you're picking them out, you're going to want to squeeze the base of your bloom, if it's hard, it's fresh, it's going to last ha lot longer. if it's really soft, it's a little bit older and is not going to last quite as long. another great thing to do is use lilies that are closed. that way you can watch them bloom and when picking out hydrangeas, make sure there's no brown spots or any wilting to get started. once you have your blooms and pick the perfect ones you'll start prepping them. for your roses you will take off all your leaves. this is going to keep any

bacteria out of the water and remove your guard petals, they are these coarser, smaller petals. so take those off. you don't need them anymore. same thing for your lilies, go ahead and remove any of the extra leaves. and then hydrangeas are so thirsty. you want to make sure you remove all of their leaves as well. once you've done that. you will be all ready to start building. >> then comes the fun part. the arranging, what is the best way to arrange flowers because i feel like i'm not that great at it. >> so i love to create. a hand tied design. so what you're going to do is you're going to start with one hydrangea, and we're just going to layer in your other blooms. so add in a lily, i like to add my roses in two at a time, so add in a couple of those, and then one more hydrangea, and we're just going to keep layering. so go ahead and add in your next lily. two more of those roses. >> i broke apart and they're showing me.

>> and then so you should have three hydrangeas for this and add in the last one, your last lily and then you're going to add in two more of your roses, and you should have a very nice, well-rounded arrangement. and now what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to take your floral tape, and you're going to want to tie it. this is really going to make sure that when you change your water and taking care of your arrangement it's easy to do so so this floral tape is heat activated by your hand so may not feel sticky but as you pull it around, it's really going to start to stick. >> wow. okay, let's put the petal to the metal. i didn't write this. with the rapid-fire round. first off, a question i always have about flowers. how often should you change the water? >> so this is actually the most important thing, change your water every other day and when you do that make sure you retrim your stems, and you also add a little fresh flower food to your base. >> what can you feed your flowers? anything from your own pantry?

>> yes, so a great diy is actually to add a scoop of sugar to your water. it gives your flowers like a sugar rush and really keeps them nice and perky. so should we put the whole packet of that flower food in the a third of the packet that comes with the flowers. that way you have plenty to last you every time you change the water. >> i think i'm going to leave this one to the professionals. >> i think your flowers look lovely. >> thanks, anna. check out her tips on tiktok at anna the florist. >> coming up here on layering up the lasagna, food, we'll be right back.

we are back on "gma." perfect winter weekend for some comfort food, right? we are layering up the lasagna this morning, chef rocco dispirito is warming us up as well and joins us from the 18th

annual sun, wine and food festival in connecticut. rocco, good morning. it's great to have you. >> good morning, what's going on, guys? i have a lasagna ready for you. i understand you have one in the studio. >> yeah, we got it right here. and this is a duck lasagna, tell us about why the duck and the ingredients we need to get started. >> well, you know, it's the 18th year for mohican sun. i wanted to do something super special. duck is a special occasion lasagna even in italy where it's pretty common and you make it the same way you'd make any lasagna bolognese. a white sauce that's made with cheese and milk and a red sauce that's made with the meat. i start with the red sauce at the bottom of the pan, do that because i'm using what's called a no boil lasagna and you just layer it like you would any other lasagna, white sauce, red sauce and in this case i'm using myataki mushrooms which are really good mushrooms that are available locally now.

those are most commonly used in chinese and japanese dishes. what is the advantage of using them here in this lasagna? >> you know, like all great ingredients, the advantage is flavor, tastes really, really good and available local which is awesome and they're no longer like this exotic mushroom you have to go far and wide for. i'm just layering it white sauce, red sauce, mushroom, another layer of pasta, you bake it for about 40 minutes. >> talking about those layers, you said that you start with a layer of your red sauce, your ragout at the bottom of the pan. why is that? yes, so i'm usiing -- these are no boil lasagna sheets. if you don't want to go through the trouble of boiling the noodles, you can use these no boil, but they do need moisture on top and on bottom. that's a great way to do it, use the sauces to provide the moisture that they need.

>> ooh. >> rocco, we are eating. >> takes an hour off the lasagna cooking time. >> thank you so much. the lasagna is fantastic. it's always great to have you. we'll be right back here in just a moment. hi, my name is cherrie. i'm 76 and i live on the oregon coast. my husband, sam, we've been married 53 years. we love to walk on the beach. i have two daughters and then two granddaughters. i noticed that memories were not there like they were when i was much younger. since taking prevagen, my memory has gotten better
