city's biggest storm ever. surpassing 26.9 inches in central park nine years ago. >> if you do have a flight to the northeast, you can pretty much forget about it. 4,000 flights canceled today and into tomorrow including almost half of the flights into jfk and laguardia. our weather team have got this covered for us. al, let's start with you. >> matt, since we came on the air this morning we've dropped a few degrees and it's going to keep dropping as well the snow. blizzard 15, we have blizzard warnings. 29 million under blizzard warnings, all told over 65 million people under some sort of a winter weather advisory. from new jersey all the way to new england, all along i-95, we're talking about blizzard warnings. snow in pittsburgh, there is snow in philadelphia. both ends of the state. this is the system starting to warm itself up, wind itself up. you can see snow across both areas.

here's what's going to happen. the timing of this. we come out this morning on into later this evening, as the low pressure makes its way up the coast it intensifies, it continues to deepen. we're looking at snowfall rates 2 to 4 inches per hour. thunder snow possible. that's how intense this will be. wind gusts of 65 miles per hour. in order then as we go through tomorrow morning into tomorrow afternoon, boston you're involved, by 1:00 you've got 2 to 4 inches of snowfall per hour. the thunder snow continues, white-out conditions and look at winds, wind gusts of 80 miles per hour. that's why we're worried about major coastal flooding, power outages a big possibility. look at the snowfall totals. you add those winds to snow from 12 to 25 inches of snow, some areas as much as three feet. you could be looking at drifts of snow, guys, anywhere from 4

to 6 feet tall. we're talking major transportation systems shutting down. if it comes to fruition, we think it will, this will be one for the record books. certainly the top five from new york all the way into boston. guys. >> it's going to be so cold the snow is going to stick around. >> absolutely. al mentioned pittsburgh where we find dylan dreyer. snowing off and on. how does it look? >> the snow is light to moderate now and it's hard to believe that this is going to be connected to what will be that blockbuster nor'easter that's going to move to the northeast. i bought this yard stick. i know i'm going to need it in boston. i wanted to put into perspective how this storm is going to mutate and transform once it gets o'ver the water. we have three inches of snow in pittsburgh. as we get into tonight and tomorrow we'll be measuring up to here and even in some cases all the way up to here. especially into tonight and on

tuesday in major cities like new york and hartford, providence and boston. so how does that happen? this storm is going to bomb out once it moves offshore. that is a short-term for a phenomenon called bombogenesis. the storm intensify, we see a 24 mill a bar barometric pressure drop in 24 hours. it causes intense winds, in this case to gust near hurricane force near 70 miles per hour. that leads to coastal flooding and seas as high as 25 feet. we'll also be dealing with thunder snow, as you get to the height of the storm. my question is how am i going to get this on the plane to get to boston, that's if if my flight to boston takes off in a couple hours. we'll see. >> dylan's got a few issues there. thank you. we're going to have more on the storm throughout the morning. >> let's turn to another story, a security scare at the white house, a drone found on the grounds overnight.

nbc's correspondent kristen welker has the latest. >> reporter: good morning. according to a law enforcement official a drone landed in a tree on the white house grounds early this morning, a secret service official says this started at 3:08 eastern time. that's when the officer posted on the south grounds heard and saw the device, this is approximately two feet in diameter. it was flying at a low altitude before crashing. secret service officials searched the grounds on the south lawn. the president and first lady are on a trip in india right now. the daughters and their grandmother are here. josh earnest is traveling with the president, and made these comments while speaking to reporters a short time ago. >> there is a device that has been recovered by the secret service at the white house, early indications are that it does not pose any sort of ongoing threat right now to anybody at the white house. but -- >> reporter: as the interim

director joe receive clancey is with the president he was appointed after a series of security lapses here at the white house including when a man jumped over the fence and made it deep inside the executive mansion. he has not commented but this latest incident clearly raises new questions and concerns, secret service officials say they will have more on the investigation later today. back to you. >> kristin, thanks. >> patriots are flying out ahead of the storm, heading to arizona for the super bowl. and deflategate will be front and center as a star player for the seahawks has weighed in. peter alexander is in boston for us. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. patriots appreciate the change in atmospheric conditions. zero degree, more than 68 degrees quhenl they arrive in the desert in phoenix later today. the fans are going to be out in droves a short time from now, all this against the backdrop of an outspoken seahawks richard sherman calling out the nfl

commissioner and the patriots owner for what he calls a conflict of interest. let the war of words begin. >> just to get that right, i didn't break any rules or do anything. >> richard sherman no stranger to sound bites. >> that's the result you're going to get. >> reporter: took aim at an opponent and the nfl saying the relationship between the patriots owner and league commissioner could prevent the team being punished. >> will they be punished, probably not. not as long as robert kraft and roger goodell are taking pictures at their homes. he was just at kraft's house last week. talk about conflict of interest. >> reporter: his comments came hours after the seahawks touched down in phoenix ahead of sunday's game. while some of the teammates refused to fan the flames. >> our focus is on playing the game. that's all the distraction about

the football have nothing to do with us. >> reporter: sherman's words over deflategate that bill belichick vowed to put behind him. the coach reasserting the team's innocence following days of more research into the matter. >> i believe now 100% that i have personally and we as an organization have absolutely followed every rule to the letter. >> reporter: the league announced it conducted nearly 40 interviews so far. and some scientists took the matter into their own hands. some dismiss the explanation, a lab separately conducted independent tests. to determine cold temperatures and moisture could lower a football's air pressure in certain cases. all of it was fair game for "snl." it had a field day with patriots quarterback tom brady. >> guys, i don't know things. i'm not a banker, i'm not a

science computer. >> did you just say science computer? >> isn't that what you call it? i don't know. >> we'll see the tom brady, he will be in attendance. tomorrow is media day. he will be peppered with more questions from more reporters than you can count. he and the rest hoping the focus is on the game this sunday and not one a sunday ago. >> peter, thank you. >> media day is not going to be fun this year. meantime, the fbi is investigating threats made against several passenger jets over this past weekend. at least two planes forced to evacuate in seattle. nbc's hallie jackson is live in los angeles. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. five planes made emergency landings in all in at least three different places. the alarms were raised after bomb threats including some posted to twitter targeted the flights. >> i was shocked. >> reporter: two flights were

evacuated after landing in seattle sunday afternoon when officials received reports of possible bomb threats. >> when i was getting off the plane i asked the pilot what happened. that's when he said there were -- he was informed there were two planes that got bomb threats and ours is one of them. >> reporter: a jetblue plane from long beach, california and a sky west jet from phoenix were midair when they received the threat. both flights landed safely in seattle where officials later cleared the plane and all passengers and crew of security concerns. >> this is the first time i've been in a situation you had two aircraft fairly close in arrival times for them to be considered a security situation. >> reporter: at the same time, more than 2,000 miles away, another reported bomb threat diverted a delta flight from los angeles to orlando forcing passengers to land in dallas, texas. one passenger says the pilot made the announcement during the flight. >> he said we need to land the plane immediately. we believe there is a security

threat to the plane. somebody tweeted in a bomb threat. >> reporter: officials are investigating several twitter posted related including one that says we planted explosives on board our soldier waiting for signal. the threats come a day after similar posts targeted two jets flying to atlanta prompting fighter jets to escort the planes to safety. so all five of those flights have been cleared of security concerns but officials are still investigating, and right now they cannot confirm if any of those threats are related. >> hally jacksen, thanks very much. >> tamron is in fortunately. big news in the political world. >> some big news. good morning. nbc news has learned new jersey governor chris christie is one step closer to a run for the white house this morning. this after a weekend of key gatherings of republicans. kelly o'donnell is in washington. >> good morning. fast moving changes to the gop field.

orange left but smoke blowing more up than before the wind was actually pretty powerful and that was another difficulty for firefighters so again the good news here is it is still a six-alarm fire keeping the crews here but no homes threatened. they expect to get fuller containment within an hour and at that point they will allow residents back to their homes. so a lot of progress here they say they will keep some crews here, some hand crews to cut some lines and doment so of the maintenance for the duration of the day but when it no homes threatened at this point. live in pacifica stephanie chuang "today in the bay." >> a bit of progress there, thank you very much, steph. let's check with with christina, winds are a slight concern. >> it's still gusty through there, laura, good morning to you. that wind is making all that smoke drift out toward the ocean so you might actually see that on your drive to work this morning, but that is such great news and a testament to our local heroes our local firefighters, thank you for what do you. 42 degrees in the south bay.

scandal when them touch down in arizona for the super bowl later today. the opponent the seahawks arrived sunday. >> miss colombia paulina vega the new miss universe. miss usa was one of the runners-up. >> natalie was there. >> it was a good show. coming up why are so many registered sex offenders winning the lottery and should they be allowed to keep their jackpots? our rossen reports team investigates this one. >> by the way, announcement here. we'll have a live interview with president obama sunday afternoon during nbc's super bowl preshow, we'll have a lot more of that exclusive conversation the following morning here on "today." >> should be fun and interesting. let's begin this half hour with this historic blizzard. as we mentioned a storm this size will make it nearly impossible to travel on the roads and of course at the airports as well.

nbc's tom costello is at washington's reagan national, tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we have a lot of rain, win this morning. it's going to turn in snow later in the afternoon. them as it does, as it hits the mid-atlantic and the northeast corridor we've got several airports that are going to likely be hit hard over the next 48 hours. washington, baltimore, up to philly, of course all three new york airports likely affected, hartford into boston, then all the way into maine. you go west, residual effects in columbus, ohio, pittsburgh, likely chicago as well. and amtrak also worth watching because 720,000 ride every single day. amtrak says they are going to watch their 457 miles of track, 1200 bridge, it's possible they will have to close down certain lines and cancel certain trains over the course of the next 48 hours. so, this may be as calm as it gets before the storm. they were expecting snow in

washington this morning, so far we've got rain. it is awfully cold and windy and likely to get worse over the next 12-48 hours. back to you. >> tom, thank you. nice if that stayed as rain. gels that's not a chance. >> there is always a chance. >> when mary poppins calls. >> i know. a sign of things to come. >> dylan is outside pittsburgh. a little bit of snow there. a lot more. good morning again to you. >> good morning, savannah. we're going to get a few inches in pittsburgh as this gets started. when we use historic, crippling, there are a lot of tips to keep safe. one of them is shoveling. we've got a lot of reports of heart attacks because of shoveling so stay ahead of it and don't try to do it all at once. also keep yourself hydrated. you don't realize how much you southwest.

other tips, you want to have an emergency kit. make sure it's full of water and blankets in case your power goes out. you need flashlights, battery, non-perishable food and the manual can opener. you want to make sure that you keep heaters and generators well ventilated so you don't start fires or carbon monoxide poisoning, make sure your car is filled with gas now. and in case your power goes out the pipes can freeze, so keep a little drip in your fau street relieve some of the pressure so your pipes don't burst. and there is a good thing to note. keep this and write this down. if your power goes out for an extended period of time and you feel unsafe text the sherd shelter to 43362 and they will give you a list of the nearest shelters. and one more thing. if you've got one of these laying around, a good old land line, get it out now, make sure you have a land line set up in

your phone because if your cell phone goes dead you can't reach out. so this is always a very good classic standby to keep yourself safe. >> all right, dylan, thank you so much. we'll talk to you in a bit. so, let's take a look. as far as snowfall here in new york city, record events, well, the number one storm was february 11-12, 2006. almost 27 inches of snow. the blizzard of 1888, matt and i remember that, 21 inches of snow. what actually constitutes a blizzard? here's what it takes. this is boston also. look at some of these top five amounts. we're looking at that. 27.6 inches. a blizzard defined. we see a blizzard as having more than three hours or more sustained wind and gusts 35 miles per hour, blowing snow, dropping visibility, less than a quarter mile, and we expect that to happen. first of all, we're going to get from 1 to 2, maybe 3 feet of snow from bangor to hartford, boston, new york city.

and we've got coastal flood watches and warnings, why, because as this system winds up, the winds are going to be such a massive problem with this. we have hurricane force wind warnings, just off boston all the way to nantucket. these winds will be really strong, there's going to be a lot of blowing and drifting snow, drifts up to 4 to 5 feet of snow. so coastal flooding, hurricane force wind and heavy snow. it's a bad combination. stay off the roads starting in 7:36. good monday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. live look at the san francisco bay, beautiful painted sky overhead. look at how pretty you're waking up in point reyes this morning, just spectacular conditions. another beach day if you can get out there. temps will climb into the upper 70s at some of your beaches especially down in santa cruz. we'll hit 67 in san francisco, and 70 degrees in the north bay. as we get into it tomorrow you might need to bring your umbrella south of the golden

gate bridge with light shower activity working its way to the north and mid-60s wednesday, thursday, 70s by friday. new questions about the alleged kidnapping of professional golfer robert allenbee. he claims he was abducted and robbed after playing in a tournament in hawaii. is that really what happened? >> there is little doubt something bad happened to this australian golfer. his face bruised and bloodied. his cash and credit card missing. the night of january 16th after he failed to make the cut at the sony open golf tournament, he got separated from friends. >> i ended up on the street and got up and i had been thrown out of the trunk of the car. >> proof he said that he was kidnapped. >> the only reason why i know that part is because a homeless lady told me and said she saw it.

>> khnl caught up with that woman. >> i can't say somebody did something. i didn't see it. i just know he was bleeding everywhere. >> rex hubbard was a golf channel investigator on the story. >> the injuries are not conducive with a beating and they have two witnesses who said he fell down and hit his head on a rock. that makes more sense than being beaten. >> he said part of what allenbee can't remember can be explained by employees at a strip club who said he ran up a $3400 tab. >> i asked if he felt like he was drunk at that time. he said he was beyond drink. he felt like he was taking drugs or had been drugged. >> we reached out to him and have not heard back. they are investigating it as a fraud case and not as kidnapping or assault. the tale of the kidnapped golfer, critics warned may now be lying in the rough.

extending their hand for to you shake. what do do you? >> it's a subject recently covered by reader's digest and matt's diary. what's the best way to handle the situations? we go to natalie, an nbc news medical contributor. we have two perspectives. the health perspective and the should you, shouldn't you. the sick coworker. what do you do when you have a coworker who is sneezing and coughing? >> you want to be the good samaritan. you have cough drops and cough medicine nearby and hand sanitizer to share with those who are sick. you are helping to prevent the spread of germs. >> stay home? >> you are sending a message as you say you shouldn't be here. >> you are. if you are the boss definitely say go home. if you are saying i want you here go home. you are doing us a favor. >> i immediately start to be the

detective and i will walk over and say how long have huh that cough? do you have a fever or a sore throat? i find myself taking a medical history. am i more concerned about them or their ability to spread the disease to everybody else. it's more the latter. i want to gauge their level of infectivity. >> you are on a plane and the person next to you as i had runny nose. do you say something about it? do you turn and do what i do and put your back to that person? medically speaking, how dangerous is that? >> you are not sharing utensils or anything other than the arm rest. it's ft because my first instinct is to turn away. the way that person will infect you is if they cough and it gets into your mouth. you keep your hand sanitizer there and use it over and over and over again so anything they touch or sneeze on you don't touch and bring it to your face.

>> woo he a funny thing happen to us at the globes. somebody said they are sick and want to shake your hand. >> a very well-known actress gave me a hug and kiss and held my hand and -- >> she said i had the worst flu and have been throwing up and we did the entry. i said thank you so much and good luck. she said i shouldn't shake your hand i'm sick. she and matt had already. >> as a person who is healthy, you never want to refuse but you get yourself to the wash room to scrub up so you don't spread it to others. if you are sick i don't feel well today and i don't top the get you sick. >> protect yourself and do it in a way that has an element of class. >> don't give them the cold shourder because they have a cold. >> what about the double dipping. >> it's super bowl weekend.

>> with friends and family i draw attention to the fact that i flipped my carrots over and double dipped. have everyone take it on a pleat and make an announcement if somebody is sick in the room. >> thank you so much. coming up next the dos and don'ts of getting a new dog. first, this is "today" on nbc.

>> we are back and it's doifl beat the cuteness of a new puppy. we are helping to raise wrangler in partnership with the guiding eyes for the blind. if you are thinking about one, there is a lot to answer. nice to see you. >> nice to see you. >> jordan and gabby in a second. the first thing is can i make the commitment? >> it's a huge commitment as with any long-term relationship. you need to make sure it's the

right time for you for the next 10 or 15 years. that's how long you hope a dog will live at least. >> how much can i spend and you are not talking about money. you are talking about time. >> a lot of time with initial training and ongoing training and veterinary care and grooming and giving them love. the initial idea of getting a puppy is charping, but remember that they rely on you for all their needs. >> it is costly. pets are costly. the vet bills and the feeding. >> at least $700 a year and probably more. often times there is emergency vet care that rizs that greatly. >> i will talk about adopting in a moment. if you are looking for dogs the american kennel club divides them into the toy, terrier, herding, hound working, sporting and nonsporting group. how do you know what's right for your family? >> start with a wish list.

sit down and paik hay list of what their dream dog will be. things like the activity level of the dog. a dog to go running with or hang out with or are you into grooming or spending monogrooming? you can start by going to local shelters and going to dog shows and talking to people about the dogs they admire. >> know the make up of your family when you decide between a puppy and an adult dog. >> people want puppies, but this is a 9 week old and they are adorable but there is a lot of time spend on training where as if you consider adopting an adult dog, they think well how long am i going to have the dog? you know what you are getting and know their personality and the dog is house train and you can give them a loving second chance.

>> you want to transition your home. you have things you have to think about. >> a few things people have to get. bowls and leash and collar or harness, but toys that are sure to keep your dog busy when you can't occupy their time. these toys that are foodstuffable are great. cheeseburger appreciates this. have an appropriate confinement space. a lot of people feel uncomfortable with crates, but if you feed your dog there, they are likely to enjoy that. >> my dog loves the crate and thinks it's a safe haven. >> cheeseburger you were a hit. natalie, first this is "today" on

the new miss universe was crowned going to 22-year-old paul ina vega from columbia. >> our natalie cohosted the show and joins us from sunny miami. natalie, take me with you. you look fabulous. >> oh, come on. come join me in the sunshine and the palm trees of florida in miami. it was an exciting evening last night. it came down to usa versus columbia and in the end was columbia wearing the new crown.

philadelphia. some 69 million people right now are under a sort of a winter weather advisory. this will probably be a top -- if it comes to fruition, top five snowfall amounts over new york city and boston and providence, rhode island. we could be talking about hurricane-force winds and coastal beach erosion. >> like three feet of snow in parts up there. >> we have to wait for them to set up, but we talking about snowfall at two to four inches per hour. >> i was wondering because of the severity and the trouble it can cause from power outage to damage. as a meteorologist, accuracy is your job but so many people are like -- >> from a meteorological standpoint, this is an exciting

and nurses themselves use to stay healthy. tricks of the trade after in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>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. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today. tonight, every dish came out of the cupboard. literally. can this mess be conquered by a little bit of dawn ultra? yes. one bottle has the grease cleaning power of two bottles of this bargain brand. dawn, it's amazing what a drop can do.
