>> broke a huge record. she is now the most accomplished skier in the history of the sport on the female side. and we're going to talk to her live in a few minutes. >> natalie is too humble but i think it has to do with the training run. she's kissing tiger. exciting. talk to her in a bit. our top story, the weather. slick roads a concern in parts of length today in the wake of icy conditions that led to accidents. al, that ice is so dangerous. >> it really is. and at least six people have been killed in this situation. and here's what happened. you get cold air near the surface, it's warmer in the upper atmosphere so when the rain falls, it fall as rain but as soon as it hits temperatures that are at or below freezing you get ice. be honest with you, the forecast was not right on this. we were expecting the moisture to move in after the colder air, it moved out but you can see yesterday morning a wide area of icy precipitation, and then heavy rain on top of that exacerbated it leading to

flooding. but if you stepped outside anywhere in the northeast from boston to washington, d.c., it felt like a slap in the face. if you got behind the wheel, it was white-knuckle driving all the way. deadly roadways and crumbled cars. a mangled mess. three people were killed in a pair of chain reaction crashes in pennsylvania. >> i hit the car, the car behind me hits me and then i'm spinning around. >> troopers saw 420 crashes, in parts of the state cars were abandoned to rising water. then there is this suv gliding down like a bowling ball in yonkers, new york. and there a witness on the left taking a spill as well. new york city calling in extra blankses to help deal with all of the people injured from slips and falls. >> i'm trying to walk slowly for not to get hurt and then when there's no ice, then we can walk

fast. >> across the nation more vicious weather, black ice blamed for a major pileup in oregon saturday. and this is what's left of caleb's truck after being sandwiched between two semis. he survived. >> it didn't hurt, i kind of wiggled my head around, looked at my arms, my hands, i could move my knees and feet. >> he managed to walk away with only minor bruises and scrapes. >> i just know that there's a reason that i was able to get out of it, and it's something i'm going to have to live with and learn from. >> they only had two band aids out of the whole thing. he realized he was only truly safe when he got to hug his wife and 2-year-old son. all over the northeast it was just a mess. there could be refreezing this morning so folks need to take it slow. good news is rush hour probably less because of the martin luther king jr. holiday. >> almost everyone in this panel wiped out yesterday. al, thanks.

the secret service is on alert as agents search for whoever fired shots near the delaware home of vice president joe biden over the weekend. nbc's senior white house correspondent chris jansing has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. investigators have a mystery on their hands this morning, local law enforcement in delaware describe the vice president's neighborhood as very up scale, absolutely not the kind of place where shots are fired out of a speeding car. that's exactly what happened and while the secret service increases security around the biden home, the fbi is looking for whoever did it. for hours investigators searched the area around the vice president's delaware home, and his neighbors looking for bullets or any other clues after a series of shots were fired near the residence saturday night from a speeding car. the bidens were out for the evening but secret service was there and gave chase, along with local police, but the vehicle got away. the gun fire came from a public road outside the security

perimeter, the house cannot be seen from there but the shots were clearly heard. the chase search of the area and questioning neighbors turned up nothing. leaving investigators with a range of possibilities. >> who was having a dispute in the area, is it known street criminals, is it unrelated to the vice president, is it somebody who is mentally defective. >> reporter: there is always a security perimeter around the estate with its home and guard shack at the entrance. the vice president and dr. jill biden often spend weekends there away from public duty but not out of the public eye. locals report he was at the home depot on saturday morning. a man was taken into custody less than an hour after the shoot, he had been trying to get around officers who were securing the perimeter but police haven't charged him with anything to do with the shooting itself. none of the area homes were damaged. leaving investigators questions of who and why unanswered. investigators tell me they don't even know if the biden home was the target or if this was a

random shooting. the vice president was still in delaware this morning to speak at a martin luther king day breakfast, he and president obama have been briefed on the shooting. willie. >> chris jansing this morning, thanks. >> we've got news about a top secret cyber operation, nbc news confirmed a report in "the new york times" that u.s. cyber spies penetrated north korea's computer systems and that's how the u.s. knew it was the north behind the massive and crippling hack of the sony corporation. andrea mitchell joins us. i guess this explains why the president was confident about accusing the north even when some security companies were saying no, this was the an inside job. >> that's exactly right. that's why there was so much push back when the president accused north korea being behind that sony attack, because the nsa penetrated the cyber warfare unit starting four years ago. according to "the new york times" and confirmed ta nbc news i'm told the u.s. did not have

advance warning of the hackings through its monitoring of north korean computer, only learned about it november 24 when season iy alerted the fbi. they were able to go over the surveillance and confirm that north korea was behind it. the fbi director told a cyber cofrens the north koreans were sloppy in hiding their tracks and they could see that the i.t. addresses being used to post and send e-mails were from e-mails used by the north koreans. when intelligence chief clapper bent to bring home the two americans who had been in prison he was surprised to find he was having dinner with a north korean intelligence chief in charge of the hacking program. the nsa says because of the sensitivities around the effort to bring back the two americans the general did not want to derail progress on it by discussing the hacking. such as north korea's cyber war program. either way, the north koreans ended up sending the general a large bill for that meal.

>> andrea, i guess it's a new frontier. thank you very much. >> as we mentioned the matchup for super bowl xlix is set. tom brady and the patriots cruised to victory. it's the comeback by the seattle seahawks that has people talking this morning. seattle is back in the super bowl. thanks to a stunner. >> seattle's going to the super bowl! >> up by 12 points the green bay packers imploded in the game's final five minutes, unable to stop the seahawks from pulling off two quick touchdowns. and onside kick and a prayer of a 2-point conversion. >> up for grabs, and caught. >> that helped set up overtime. they capped off with a deep strike that sent seattle's fans into hysterics. but the comeback was so unexpected that some of the fans left the stadium early. and were forced to watch the exciting finish from the outside. the seahawks are now looking to

be the first back-to-back champs since the patriots in '04 and that's exactly who is standing in their way. >> he's in for the touchdown. >> as tom brady's team made quick work of the colts, 45-7. >> a touchdown again. >> brady's sixth super bowl. he's come up empty in the last two and has not raised the lombardi trophy in over a decade. while the celebrations went all night in the northwest and the northeast, all eyes are now on arizona where preparations are already under way. >> seems like it's going to be an amazing partly. >> for the biggest sports sunday of the year and all of the drama that comes with it. >> two teams that demonstrate they are heads and shoulders above everybody not only in ability but determination and strength of will. it's going to be a heck of a football game. >> and kevin writes these are the two best. the packers probably should have won that but i think we got the two best teams and a great super

bowl sunday, february 1. did we mention it's here on nbc. >> could be the most watched sporting event ever. >> east coast, west coast. great. >> and tom brady which makes my wife happy. >> that's what it's all about. >> natalie's here, more about cuba and our restoring relations there. >> right. a u.s. congressional delegation is going to sit down with cuban officials in havana in a meeting that could include president raul castro. the dell grags arrived over the weekend. it's the first congressional visit since last month's historic policy shift between the two countries. the u.s. lawmakers are looking for more hints of cuba's attitude toward renewed ties. a quick update on the airasia flight that crashed. investigators said today they found no evidence so far that terrorism played a part in the crash. they say there was nothing to indicate foul play in the cockpit voice recordings, 162 were killed when airasia flight

8501 went down on december 28. >> investigators in california say they are not sure why well known fitness model greg plitt was filming on train tracks when he was hit and killed by a train. it happened saturday in california. plitt and two other men were filming on the tracks. plitt was hit. witnesses saw him on the track even as the train's horn was blaring. plitt appeared on more than 200 covers and on "days of our lives." investigators ruled out suicide. >> the faa's investigating a close call at new york's jfk airport where a jetblue flight was forced to abort a take-off when a plane crossed its path. the flight was cleared for takeoff saturday and heading down the runway at full speed when a caribbean airways flight crossed the runway with no authorization. the jetblue pilot slammed on the brakes, the faa says the two planes never came closer than 2800 feet. no one was injured.

>> and proof this morning that some people will stop at nothing to pull off a great prank. roman atwood waited until his wife went away. he set up cameras, brought in those colorful plastic balls, filled his entire ground floor, even set up a trampoline. >> my gosh. >> when the wife got home when she opened the doors you see all of the balls spilled out. first thing she said, are you kidding me? >> i was going to say, a think a lot followed. >> here is the sofa. enjoy it. >> going best dad ever. >> yeah. i don't know. >> natalie, thank you. >> let's take a quick look. we've got a clipper system coming across bringing snow up through the northern tier of states, some wet weather in the pacific northwest, sunshine continues through the gulf coast.

there has been a surge of cases worldwide. some cases are simply imported from abroad, but probably the argument is that we have seen a decrease in vaccination rates that translated in a rise in cases because of that. >> the cdc said measles is one of the most contagious illnesses and you can catch it just by being in a room where a person with measles has been even if the person has left. >> that's correct. not only is it respiratory and spread through coughing and sneezing and touching your hand to your mouth, but it can survive on dry surfaces. >> there was a big outbreak in the late '80s. you had to be vaccinated as a little one and have a booster before preschool. if you are born or you were vaccinated before 1989, you may not be fully protected. >> you may not be. i wonder what my own status is.

most pregnant women get checked and a lot of schools and colleges require and demonstrate that you are immune. if you were born in the 1970s and '80s, you may not have received that second booster that we are recommending. the first is done around 12 months and you get the second around 4 or 5 years old. if you haven't had that and you are unclear, it's a blood test. you can see whether you are immune to measles, mumps and rubella. if you're not, you have one shot and one month later you are fully protected if you get both shots. >> we can see how quickly it can spread. over to willie. >> thanks. it was a record breaking weekend at the box office for the iraq war drama american sniper days after landing six oscar nominations for best picture and it opened to huge ticket sales. lester holt is here. >> huge weekend.

did the numbers of a huge crowd pleaser. >> bradley cooper is getting praise for his performance. >> would you be surprised if i told you that they credited you over 160 films? >> cooper never met kyle, but spoke to him on the phone when he prepared for the role. >> did he have skepticism about hollywood tackling his story? >> i think he was trepidatious. i wanted to call him and let him know that i want to get to know you. >> humility from the military's most lethal sniper came through loud and clear when i sat down with chris in 2012. >> i could care less about the numbers. everyone said i'm the most lethal and i may have the most number of kills, but i'm not the best sniper. the people i saved is to brag about. i just want to get the bad guys. >> tia posted a message on his

facebook page saying she over-welmed with gratitude of how the movie is being received. >> bradley credits this and said it's a tribute to him and when they come home as well. >> when he came home, he was trying to figure out how do i continue to serve and he started advocating. turning to carson. >> pope francis wrapped up his visit with a record setting mass. i heard wrangler, good morning. six million people came out to put this into perspective. here's a look at the shot. unbelievable. a photo there and the record five million with john paul ii. let's put that in context. 1.8 million at president obama's first inauguration. roughly a million in london on new year's eve. about a million people there. incredible and stunning photos

don't stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

insists she will do what she wants to.youngis there something legal that can be done? >> this is difficult because the intention is good. you want to keep this heirloom. it's important to your family, but yet there is no intention that she wants to relinquish her rights in her property. ultimately it's hers. she can do with it what she wants. >> okay. so no legal road there. okay. >> pawn shop. okay. next questions about child support. i dated a guy for two years. i worked two full-time jobs. i never asked him for anything. i became pregnant. when ied to him i wanted to quit one of my job, he told me he can't help me because he has a wife at home and is paying all the bills. i was mad that he lied to me and asked him to leave. i had the baby. he has not helped in any way. you how do ibly the bring the guy

to justice. >> that would be the wake-up call, right? this is difficult because even though he's a liar low down dirty dog, he doesn't have a legal obligation to take care of her. now, if this child is his, he will have a lel obligation to pay child support for the child. so basically she needs -- i see it in my courtroom all the time. you come in you have to get that dna test. because unless he acknowledges paternity voluntarily, there is no protection because they're not married. >> so she'll get the money vis-a-vis the child if it's his. >> the child deserves child support. but basically and unfortunately, she's in a club that a lot the of women have found themselves in dating a man that didn't tell them they were married. >> so you advise pa stern ititytern >> so you advise pa stern itityternity testing. >> absolutely. >> all right.

this is sort of sad here. this says my 29-year-old son is has five children. when my last grand child was born, i found out about it on facebook. my granddaughters are 11 and 9, we always had a great relationship. high son my son won't respond to any messages. sounds like this is not the whole story. >> does the grandma have any legal rights? >> some states have grandparents rights. but the court will take into consideration what is in the best interests of the child. and that's a lot of factors. they will take into account the relationship with the child. she doesn't know this child, but she does know the older children. whether the son is married. if the son is married, in many states there is a presumption that parents get to decide who their child gets for see or doesn't get to see. and this is a family that needs to get in the family room and work this out.

>> this sounds like a huge issue that blew up. >> before they can make a decision, they want topt tont to know their rights. >> don't deprive your children's rights to have a sgrand children. >> and my ex-husband and i had an amicable divorce online without lawyers or are a fight. divorce documents clearly state that he would keep the house and be financially responsible for it after four years he still has not taken my name off the title and mortgage. he says he can't afford to refi thanks. what can i do. >> this is tricky. a lot of information there, but something key isn't there. when you did your do it yourself divorce and he could keep the house and be responsible for it does it mean that he has to also take you off the of the mortgage? did it you say that specifically? because he is keeping the house and he is paying for it. he's just not getting you off the mortgage. you can divorce your spouse, but

you don't divorce your mortgage. you are still on the hook. and that's why i say when do you it the do it yourself divorce, if you have real property homes, things to divide like that, get a lawyer to handle if because you need those specific details. unfortunately, he might have to refinance but you can't get blood from a turnip. what if he can't qualify. so you need to get a lawyer. >> great information. really useful stuff. thank you. homemade sweets that won't cost you a ton of calories. joy is here. plus a big workout that will help you between the sheets.
