could make history more than two ft of snow could fall in the twin cities in the west, heavy snow keeping state employees in utah home today and authorities issuing an avalanche warning. it comes after three hikers were killed in washington in avalanche, sweeping them about 500 ft. down a mountain. the same winter storm is bringing some of the coldest air of the season to california ahead of the temperature drops strong winds hitting the bay area, damaging homes and knocking down power lines. meanwhile, in texas , several crashes in the panhandle during the so called brownout when the wind kicks up dust, reducing visibility to near zero tornado. there's a tornado and on the east coast, a rare event for february a possible tornado, causing extensive damage in southern new jersey. it got real dark and then things started. it. i never seen. the wind blew like i did

at this apartment complex. dozens of trees uprooted the roof split open and cars smashed . the wind started blowing at our sliding door over here and then my wife and 11 son were home with me. and then we just went into the bathroom and then , like 30. seconds later cars destroyed. it was over. and there's a different extreme in the south. extreme warmth. temperatures topping 80 degrees . in many places. we'll check today's forecast in just a few minutes overseas. there's word this morning about a bold new missile tests by russia. justice president biden is traveling in eastern europe. the test of an intercontinental ballistic missile apparently did not go very well. this could be another embarrassment for vladimir putin , just as he pulls back from a nuclear arms treaty. it comes as president biden doubles down on support for ukraine holding another high stakes meeting today. abc s mm win has the very latest and good morning. good morning. andrew defense experts say russia's new ballistic missile is likely faster and more powerful than their old designs. though it's unlikely

russia will acknowledge their failed test that came the same day president biden was in kiev. this morning as president biden wraps up his four day trip to europe, sources say the u. s. believes russia carried out a test of an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the us, but it appears the launch failed the test happening around the time biden was in ukraine monday. president putin in russia has been highlighting its development for quite some time specifically last year, about two months after the invasion of ukraine. he was highlighting it as this most powerful weapon that would be able to defeat any, um rickon defenses, the missile apparently able to carry 10 warheads and potentially travel further and faster than old russian designs. sources say russia notified the u. s in advance of the launch. potentially maybe this launch was pegged to you the big speech that he gave before the russian congress. but putin didn't mention the launching his speech tuesday, instead formally declaring that russia will be temporarily suspending its

participation in the new start treaty with the us the last packed that regulates the two largest nuclear arsenals. news of the missile launch comes on the heels of president biden's fiery speech in warsaw, poland, where he vowed the us and its allies will not waver. ukraine will never be a victory for russia, never united states together with our allies and partners are going to continue to have ukraine's back as it defends itself. today biden meets with leaders from the bookers. nine reassuring those eastern flank nato allies that his administration is on high alert for any threats that may be spurred by russia's war. russia invaded it wasn't just ukraine being tested. the whole world. face the test for the ages. all democracies are being tested. president biden is also expected to reassert to us allies that nato is stronger and more unified now than before russia's invasion before he heads back to the white house later today, andrew and thank you. meanwhile president biden

has been criticized for traveling to ukraine and poland before visiting the site of that toxic train derailment in ohio. the white house says biden spoke last night to several ohio lawmakers and the head of the epa, who was in east palestine yesterday. vowing to make sure the norfolk southern rail company pays for all cleanup expenses. the company says it's removed enough contaminated dirt from the site to fill 1.5 olympic swimming pools. ohio's governor visited homes and drink the tap water to assure people it's safe. many residents are still skeptical. it's safe to drink the water, water safe, even brushed my teeth just need to continue to test them to continue testing and we think things are all right. we know things are now and we just need to make sure that in the future there are i have seen the transportation secretary pete buddha judges calling on congress to increase the maximum fine railroads pay for violating safety rules. meanwhile amid the new focus on rail safety more than 30 cars of a union pacific

train carrying coal came off the tracks in nebraska. it's the fourth derailment in that area in just the last year administration is proposing a new rule that would turn away most migrants at the southern border. migrants would be required to apply for asylum in the countries. they travel through on their way to the u. s the trump administration tried a similar policy, but it was blocked by the courts. one human rights advocate says the proposed rule would endanger migrants. refugees often don't apply for protection in countries they transit through because they know they won't be safe. the white house says it's committed to providing lawful pathways for asylum seekers. now to the controversy over video from the january 6th attack on the u. s. capitol never made public before it was reportedly turned over to fox news by the new speaker of the house, critics are raising security and ethical concerns. this morning, fox news host tucker carlson says he's been given access to more than 40,000 hours of unreleased surveillance footage from the january 6th attack.

they have not released any of it. um from january, 6th and january. 6th of course, is transformative event in this country. it's been used to change the country. it's unclear where carlson's team was reviewing the footage or who they got it from. but according to multiple reports, house speaker kevin mccarthy granted tucker's team access to the video. mccarthy's office did not respond to an abc news request for comment. carlson has repeatedly spread conspiracy theories about january 6th saying this on the one year anniversary looking back, you could probably call what happened on january 6th. a riot. we have called it that but really, only just a riot, maybe just barely congressman jamie raskin, who sat on the january 6th committee, brandon, the release of the january 6th footage and ethical collapsed tweeting what security precautions were taken to keep this from becoming a roadmap for 2024 insurrection. carlson has already claimed that some of the new footage appears to show contradictions. smartest brochures have been there. uh looking at this stuff and trying

to figure out what it means and how it contradicts or not the story that we've been told for more than two years. we think already that in some ways it does contradict that story. this controversy comes just days after a court filing revealed private messages from fox news personalities, including carlson showing they doubted allegations of voter fraud after the 2020 election, even while publicly pushing the false narrative. the carlson did not provide any more details about the video, saying his team's findings will be made public soon. speaker mccarthy has previously said releasing the video is about transparency . supreme court appears reluctant to limit a law that gives internet companies immunity from lawsuits over content ■posted by users. the court heard arguments in a case brought by the family of a college student killed during a terror attack in paris. they blame google for helping isis spread its message online before the attack. every other industry has to internalize the costs of his conduct. why is it that the tech industry gets a pass? on the other hand? i mean, we're at
