good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. here in buffalo, new york, this is the second round of wintry weather. they got a good dose of it earlier this week, which is what you're seeing on the ground now. but the snow is back. it's starting to pick up, which could cause problems for the morning commute. but the real danger here, isn't just the snow, but the thick layer of ice that's on the ground. this morning, a big portion of the country, waking up to a late winter wallop, snow from tennessee to new england. the hardest hit areas, upstate new york and maine, which could see up to two feet of snow. in the south, the intense rain and wind making a mess. the weather quickly going from bad to worse. >> we're driving in a tornado. >> i've never seen nothing that bad before. >> reporter: strong storms toppled trees on to homes and

power lines. and one tree came crashing down on a busy georgia highway, clipping a passing car. firefighters in florida rescued a woman and her dog. a tree fell on their mobile home, trapping them inside. the woman was later air-lifted to a trauma center. in tennessee, a fourth grade teacher was killed after a tree slammed into this van carrying city workers. at least three additional weather-related deaths have been reported across the south. heavy rain soaked parts of south carolina, turning roads into rushing rivers. this group of 30 workers had to be rescued from a flooded building in greenville. >> i can't swim, so we need help. >> reporter: in north carolina, a home surveillance camera captured a possible twister as it raced through the backyard. in south carolina, teachers had these young students sing in an effort to keep them calm during a tornado warning. back here in buffalo, new york,

the snow is expected to intensify throughout the morning. because of the bad weather, dozens of schools have been cancelled for the day. when the system finally moves out of here, we're looking at up to 5 inches of snow. with temperatures in the 20s, don't expect much melting in the area. hoda, back to you. >> all right, kathy. thank you. singing "wheels on the bus" was a smart touch there. al is here with more on where the storm has been and more importantly, where it is headed? >> we're looking at 37 million people under winter weather advisories. high wind advisories, high wind warnings from florida to new england. we're looking at a line of showers and thunderstorms that stretch over 1,700 miles. this storm will be a fast mover and intensifying. heavy snow from buffalo, binghamton to caribou, maine. with bitter windchills as the storm pushes through. big problems today will be the

winds, from new england to the delmarva peninsula. wind gusts will be tropical force. that'll cause major airport delays. heavy snow from western new york to interior sections and northern of new england, upwards of a foot of snow before it is all over. and airport delays, back from cleveland, pittsburgh, baltimore and washington and up into boston. craig? >> al, thank you. now the victory lap that president trump took in the week of his impeachment acquittal, putting his rivals, democrat and republican, on notice. we have two stories for you. starting with kristen welker. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. president trump is taking an emboldened stance in the wake of his acquittal on thursday, holding what he called a celebration at the white house. it was a chance for him to thank his republican supporters and also to vent his anger over impeachment. true to trump form, no apology to the country.

this morning, the president's defiant, free-wheeling white house event is still reverberating. >> we went through hell, unfairly. did nothing wrong. this is what the end result is. the only good headlines i've had in "the washington post." >> reporter: in a greatest hits of grievances, mr. trump rifted for more than an hour. even using a profanity. >> we were treated unbelievably unfairly. you have to understand, we first went through russia, russia, russia. it was all [ bleep ]. >> reporter: it's the first time a president has used profanity at a formal event in front of cameras in the east room. at times, the event echoed a campaign rally and those who stood by him. >> mitch mcconnell, i want to tell you, you did a fantastic job. >> reporter: and settled scores, including with the lone republican who voted to convict him of abuse of power, senator mitt romney.

>> and the only one that voted against was a guy that can't stand the fact that he ran one of the worst campaigns in the history of the presidency. >> reporter: even questioning the faith of house speaker nancy pelosi. >> when she said, i pray for the president. i pray for the president. she doesn't pray. >> reporter: that echo veiled his swipe at pelosi and romney that he made earlier in the day at the prayer breakfast. the president was introduced by conservative writer arthur brooks, who gave this message. >> you heard it was said, love your neighbor and hate your enemy. but i tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. >> i don't know if i agree with you. but i don't know if arthur is going to like what i have to say. i don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong.

nor do i like people who say, i pray for you, when they know that that's not so. >> reporter: pelosi firing back. >> he's talking about things that he knows little about, faith and prayer. >> reporter: romney defending his decision. >> i believe that when i swear an oath to god, i have a responsibility to be exactly truthful. and i am truthful and did what i believe was absolutely right for our country. >> reporter: a little bit of historical perspective. former president bill clinton notably apologized to the country in his first public comments after his acquittal in 1999. president trump did not do that. he did offer one apology, that was to his family, for having them go through what he called a, quote, phony, rotten deal. the president will travel to north carolina later today to talk about economic opportunities in low-income areas as he tries to turn the page. craig? >> kristen welker from the white house. thank you. also, this morning, there's

new turmoil in the wake of the epic meltdown of the iowa caucuses. the final batch of results were released overnight, but there are lingering questions this morning about the accuracy of that vote count. as the democratic candidates attempt to move on in new hampshire. the next debate, just hours away. nbc's morgan radford joins us from manchester, new hampshire. morgan, good morning to you. >> reporter: that's right, craig. good morning. right now, all eyes are here on new hampshire, where former mayor pete buttigieg and senator bernie sanders will have to face off after they both each independently declare victory in iowa. now, they're coming face-to-face with five other presidential candidates ahead of tonight's debate here in the granite state. mixed messages this morning in new hampshire. bernie sanders moving past the caucus chaos. >> we've had enough of iowa. i think we should move on to new hampshire. >> reporter: pete buttigieg is focusing on the results.

>> that's fantastic news to hear we won. first of all, senator sanders clearly had a great night, too, and i congratulate him and his supporters. >> reporter: the only thing that's clear, both sides are claiming victory. >> what i want to do today, three days late, is to thank the people of iowa for the very strong victory they gave us at the iowa caucuses on monday night. >> we are absolutely electrified by the energy that we are coming here with and by the extraordinary validation of this campaign's vision that we had in iowa. >> reporter: we caught up with sanders on the trail on thursday. >> this process, run by the iowa democratic party, has been a disaster, unmitigated disaster. >> reporter: everyone wants to know, are you claiming victory in iowa? >> well, from where i come from, morgan, when you get 6,000 more votes than your opponent, where i come from, that sounds like a victory to me. >> reporter: overnight, the iowa democratic party released what

they say are the full results. but the national dnc chair has called for a re-canvas in iowa. and nbc news is not calling the race. the head of the dnc speaking out on msnbc overnight. >> that's not going to affect the national delegate map. there's 2,000 or so state delegate equivalents. >> reporter: as for the next set of votes, the latest monmouth university poll shows buttigieg closing in on sanders in new hampshire. with biden and warren trailing behind. but that same poll shows about half of likely primary voters have their minds made up. former vice president joe biden decided not to campaign here in new hampshire yesterday and instead focused on tonight's debate. he's hoping to avoid another disappointing fourth place finish, which is what happened in iowa, as he gets ready to prepare for nevada. back to you. >> morgan radford in

is better than the criminal in the white house. we all have progressive plans to address the big challenges facing our country. what makes me different, is i've been working for ten years outside of washington, to end the corporate takeover of our democracy, and to return power to the american people. i started need to impeach to hold this lawless president accountable. i'm proposing big reforms like term limits... ...a national referendum... ...and ending corporate money in politics. as president, i'll declare climate change an emergency on day 1. and, use those powers to finally address the climate crisis. and, i've spent 30 years building a successful international business. so, i can take on donald trump on the economy - and beat him. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message -

we're back with "heart smart today. this morning, warning signs of a heart attack, everybody should know >> according to the american heart association, someone in this country will have a heart attack approximately every 40 seconds. dr. mehmet oz, a cardio thoracic surgeon, also, the host of "the dr. oz show. here to teach us to reduce our risk always good to see ya. we want to talk about the signs. everyone knows about the sharp pains. but you say there's other signs perhaps we don't pay attention to >> the heart doesn't have sensory firing it's the most poetic organ it's all about what the heart is next to. they touch it, and short circuit. and for example, you will get pressure pain. but not just in your chest you get it in your chin, your left arm that's called referred pain. that's off of like a vice squeezing on you and you get a problem of indigestion. when someone passes away, you know what we do?

we look in the stomach for antacids it means they were having chest pain and indigestion they thought they were having problems with their heart. and you want to make sure you're not short of breath. the most important sign, by far. >> you say shortness of breath, we're not talking about shortness of breath someone might get -- >> like carson would get walking out? no >> oh. >> all right >> way out of proportion >> wait until you get to my section. >> it's way out of proportion, to what normally was okay. you can usually walk a block now, you can't walk a block anymore. that's a shortness of breath that means the blood is back in your lungs these are easy and simple. you have to share them with everybody. i'll put them on the facebook page today.com. give us two people you care about in your lives. >> we're going to play a little game it's called good, better, best >> let's fall into the trap. we're going to assume best is the broccoli i'll say, probably, the nuts are going to be -- chocolate will be good the nuts will be better. >> trying to trick you >> assuming that's what you

want >> 100% right. what's important, genetics are important to all disease, but they are dwarfed by lifestyle choices. food is where it starts. chocolate counts it has flavonoids. antioxidants good for the heart, relaxes the heart arteries one square a day would be ideal. >> dark chocolate. >> 70% cocoa or greater. nuts have healthy fats in them not all fats are bad bad fats are hard at room temperature. they're a problem. but saturated -- unsaturated fats that come from nuts are fantastic. one big handful, about this much broccoli, and vegetables, as much as you want every study, they reduce the incidents of heart disease by 30%. when i operate on somebody, my day job, i give people that i operated on vegetables the chance of getting another heart problem goes down dramatically >> thanks, buddy >> exercise. >> i'm ready, dr. oz what are my choices.

>> we'll talk about exercise the biggest problem in america, we're all sitting. sitting is our new cancer. if you're sitting half the day, you can elevate that number. that's a good thing to do. >> what are our three choices? >> every 30 minutes, you have to walk around. >> what are the other choices? >> ten minutes of vigorous exercise every day that was actually -- and 7,500 steps per day. >> i say good is standing up ten minutes of exercise is probably better. and all of the steps, best >> because we're sitting so much, standing every 30 minutes is good, every commercial break, stand. the better thing is 7,500 steps. flip those we used to take 10,000 steps a big study on women in particular, says 7,500 is fine this is critical. >> just ten minutes of vigorous exercise is better than walking that much? >> if you're working so hard,

get up the breath, that's the best thing you can do. >> that's good to know >> let's talk about reducing the risk reducing stress i'll give you three choices. you have meditation. being with your family doing something for your community. good, better, best >> this is good. good is that better is meditate family time is best. >> let me break it down, if you do something for yourself, meditation is good do something with people, that's a building block of the world, your family, that's better if you do something that's altruistic for other people, that's the best. this is the crazy thing. when you donate and give, when you support the world in general, it's the single thing that elevates you. the safety net is the support of each other. if you're not falling in the ocean of humanity, it breeds isolation, the biggest single problem of stress. and people don't appreciate it

>> family history. we hear a lot of family history. how much does that affect one person's heart health? >> it's probably one-third of the risk that counts. you can overwhelm your family history by making sure you take advantage of the lifestyles. diet, exercise, and managing stress which, of course, feeds into stress, will dramatically change your future and the side effects of heart disease it is not just your heart. brain, your sex organs, kidney, and everything are affected. >> dr. oz. >> all of a sudden, carson is listening. >> dr. oz. you can watch dr. oz on the dr. oz show. check your local listings. we will perk up. >> now, i'm incentivized >> flavonoids going, baby. coming up, next, the hottest headband trends taking over hollywood. we'll show you how to pull off the look

fighting climate change isn't just about polar bears. we're fighting for our lives, we're fighting for clean air and clean water. that's why i wrote the law to send billions from polluters to communities suffering the most. and only one candidate for president was with us back then, tom steyer. and he's still fighting for us, pledging to make clean air and clean water a right for everyone, regardless of your zip code.

that's the truth. that's tom steyer. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message.
