welcome to "cbs this morning." seattle will see temperatures as much as 40 degrees. it is below freezing in much of the midwest and rockies mountains. the winter chill has followed by a snowstorm that caused problems from colorado to wisconsin. >> the snow hit minnesota the hardest. some parts of the state had more than a foot on the ground this morning. icy roads are blamed for two deaths. wcco is in minneapolis, where the storm is not over net. nina, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, this storm system has dropped 7 inches of snow across nine states, affecting millions of people. here in minnesota, we're dealing with ice all over our roads, ice like this. but the entire region is bracing for a cold snap that could last for weeks. digging out from a major snowstorm isn't what you'd expect with winter well over a month away. but instead of rakes, people

across the upper midwest are using shovels, after a monster early season storm dumped snow from montana and the dakotas to michigan's upper peninsula. the big concern this morning are the temperatures which have dipped here overnight into the low 20s. causing roads to freeze. crews are working around the clock to get the surfaces ready for this morning's commute. >> it's a little scary the first time because people are relearning how to drive on snow. i like the snow. but the driving part i could deal without. >> reporter: in minnesota alone, state patrol units responded to 475 weather-related crashes. vehicles littered the sides of roadways with more than 700 accident it's reported, including this pileup in duluth. headaches weren't only felt on the roadways. at minneapolis st. paul

international airport, over 450 flights were cancelled or delayed. >> i did expect this much snow. not at all, only in minnesota, right? >> reporter: but not everyone is complaining. many kids have the day off from school here in minnesota, enjoying the season's first significant snowfall. >> it came early, so we're going to another long winter like last year. >> reporter: more snow is expected to fall throughout today an this evening but the good news, the temperatures should stay around the 20 degree mark. >> thanks, nina. i get cold just looking at you. meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station wbbm is tracking conditions in much of the country. megan, good morning. >> good morning to you. good morning to our viewers in the west. the midwest being hit by very heavy snow hat will continue during the day today and into tomorrow. we are looking at 12 to 18 inches in parts of wisconsin and the up of michigan.

a system will impact cities like portland and seattle into wednesday and thursday. winds are going to be a big issue as the cold air moves in. so much of an issue that dangerous chill will happen. parts of montana can drop to wind chills of 35 below tonight and that cold air keeps moving in for everyone but south florida and the southwest. the high temperature today in los angeles 67 degrees. 69 in sacramento. president obama reached a new trade deal with china. the president is attending day two of a global economic summit in beijing. he also had brief talks with russian president vladimir putin over the fighting in ukraine. major garrett is traveling with the president in beijing. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the u.s./chinese relationship is by all objective standards among the most important in the world, but as we learned here, the two countries sometimes have to make room for russia, even as they pursue common economic interests. president obama and chinese

president xi jinping mingled at the economic summit before a largely meeting defined largely by economic competition. russian president vladimir putin demanded the attention of both leaders by sending more tanks and separatists to eastern ukraine. prompting three unscheduled obama/putin encounters lasting a total of 20 minutes on the summit sideline. >> the president knows full well where we stand. leading not only to our policies but our sanctions and that continues to be our approach here. >> reporter: when it comes to china, mr. obama brought demands. curb cyberattacks in the u.s. reduce greenhouse gases, and stop using a beefed-up navy to intimidate neighbors in the south china sea. china doesn't want to give ground on mr. obama's grievance, but is willing to cut economic deals. the biggest, a deal on economic

tariffs on information technology products. this could mean billions of new high-tech energy exports. >> it benefits the producers and also the consumers as they will see more access to products more easily. >> reporter: mr. obama also took the time to phrase china's work in fighting ebola in africa. and its support of a deal to denuclearize iran. back to putin, he made a move here that captured the attention of the chinese people and at the fireworks, he lent a coat to china's first lady, an act of gallantry or that of a player. norah, my guess is you three will gladly reinvigorate the debate. >> wasn't that an incredible picture, and you know he loves pictures of putting that shawl around the first lady. >> i'm going with gallantry, giving him the benefit of the doubt. nobody else?

>> i'll give him the benefit of the doubt. >> yeah. as the two presidents met in beijing, the u.s. postal service revealed chinese hackers are suspected of breaking into its computer network. the attack was discovered in september. it exposed personal information of the postmaster general and more than 800,000 workers and retirees. postal officials believe the hackers did not see the credit card numbers of post office customers. america is ebola-free this morning. dr. craig spencer will be released from the hospital today. he is the last person in the united states receiving treatment for the disease. jericka duncan is at bellevue hospital in new york city where the doctor became the patient. jericka, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, new york health officials say dr. craig spencer had been cured of ebola after spending 19 days

here at bellevue hospital. now it was with an experimental drug and blood droplets donated by nancy writebol that kept dr. spencer alive. >> reporter: dr. spencer's recovery marked the last case of ebola in the u.s., the first case diagnosed in new york. concern about the deadly disease spreading grew after it was learned that spencer rode the subway ate at a restaurant in manhattan and was bowling with friends in brooklyn just one day before he showed symptoms. >> how in the world this man could be over in west africa treating these sick people and get this to come back here, no screening, anything. >> reporter: both the restaurant and bowling alley closed for a short time to be professionally cleaned. new york's mayor bill de blasio even stopped for a very public lunch to calm people's fears. >> ebola is a disease that can only be contracted with direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is infected.

>> reporter: infectious disease expert dr. william schaffner said fears of ebola spreading were unfounded because dr. spencer followed all the rules set out by the centers for disease control. >> he wasn't sick. when he was out in new york as we fully sect yy expected. the citizens of new york was really at no risk. >> reporter: nurse kaci hickox was free from monitoring late last night. he fought quarantines from new jersey and maine after she returned from west africa. both spencer and hickox were working for doctors without borders which continues to send american medical personnel to west africa to eradicate ebola. more than 2,000 american troops are overseas helping to build ebola treatment centers. the first u.s.-constructed facility opened in liberia this week. >> people who come back from west africa having worked with ebola patients, if they're not sick, we should not turn them into pariahs. >> reporter: city and health officials are expected to hold a

news conference within a matter of minutes. we are told dr. craig spencer will make a statement but will not answer questions and will not give interviews. the captain of the ferry that sank in south korea was found guilty of negligence and abandoning his passengers. 14 other crew members were also sentenced. the ship's crew were among the first to be rescued. for the first time, a slow-moving river of lava in hawaii swallowed a house. melika lincoln is there. where homeowners face another agonizing wait to see what's next. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the molten rock that set fire to one home on this street in pahoa has been threatening this town since october. now with one home destroyed, other residents are worried their properties could meet a similar state. the menacing stream of lava

moved slowly towards this three bedroom home on pahoa on the big island. just before noon, the home was in a raging fire. in about 45 minutes the 1100-square foot home was destroyed. >> our wait is kind of over. it's okay, we can close the book on that because, you know, the house burned finally, you know. it's like, okay, so we're on to our new story. >> reporter: the lava coming from the kilauea volcano has been advancing for weeks. after crossing the country road on edge the molten walk covered forests and water ways and buried a local cemetery. officials have done their best to monitor the flow but with temperatures reaching up to 2100 degrees, there's nothing that can be done to stop it. >> the at least 400 yards -- 400 to 500 yards from the next closest residence. >> reporter: with lava claiming private property, the threat to residents has become all too real. >> i don't think it's short-lived. it's still pumping. it's going to be agonizing for a lot of folks. >> reporter: there are about 50

other houses in the lava's projected path. although mandatory evacuations are not issued residents are packing and prepared to leave. a new study this morning reveals the damaging effects of marijuana use. this research comes from the proceedings of the national academy of sciences. >> it finds that long-term marijuana use detearierates the part of the brain needed for decision making. the effects are more severe for people who start using at a younger age. dr. agus is with us. >> good morning. >> there have been studies shown in mice that chronic marijuana use makes the frontal lobe of the brain smaller. we can clearly say that people who use marijuana have a smaller frontal lobe, the decision making part of the brain. what's interesting is, there's more connection out of that

area. and the more structural changes that happen the younger they start. but after six or seven years those structural changes go away. >> so did they already have a smaller frontal lobe or did the marijuana shrink their brain? >> key question. we just don't know. it took people by questionnaire who used marijuana versus those who did not, they looked at those. marijuana is a class one narcotic. it's difficult to do a study. that part needs to change so we can study it. >> you know, dr. david agus here in new york city, they just announce they had would no longer be arresting people caught with small amounts of marijuana. we just had an election where recreation marijuana became legal in certain states. do you think it could have an impact on public policy? >> no question. i feel like i should be holding up a bag of oregano when i answer this. but there's no question, a study like this, really puts into our

heads there are changes in the brain especially young people when they use marijuana. i think it's somewhat premature to go forward with this legislation. again, i'm not a policy expert but i think we need more studies to understand that. i'm afraid after seeing data like this what could happen. >> what would you need to know before you would recommend medicinal marijuana? >> two things. i want to follow people before and after they use marijuana to show that the changes in the brain are actually subject to marijuana use. people who used marijuana had a significantly lower i.q. than people who didn't, and again we want to follow that over time. >> david agus, important information. thank you so much. 15 missing hikers in california are safe this morning. they spent sunday morning in the san gabriel mountains. one said, quote, it was just safer for us to wait until the morning. searchers found eaton canyon a

popular but dangerous hiking spot. >> reporter: the hikers ranging in age from their mid-teens to mid-30s were part of a church group who set out sunday to scale a dangerous canyon. when they ran out of daylight, they called 911 for help, stranded at 2,000 feet in the san gabriel mountains east of los angeles. >> it was cold. we were wet, we were tired. but we just decided that the best thing we could do is just stay there and rest. >> reporter: an l.a. county sheriff's rescue helicopter located the group on monday morning. and airlifted them to safety one at a time. >> i've been on this detail 13 years, this is by far probably the largest single rescue operation that i've been involved in. >> reporter: one person was treated for a minor leg injury and two others for possible cases of hypothermia. >> there are few people that get out of here who aren't in critical condition. >> reporter: the group were hiking near waterfalls in eaton canyon where five people have

died since 2011 and hundreds more have been seriously injured. the steepest part of the canyon was closed in august to prevent deaths. >> they all appear to be in good shape. >> reporter: their families know the outcome could have been much worse. >> we're really happy for our everybody. we're just a little tired. we're thankful. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," carter evans, los angeles. >> a good way for it that story to end. it could have gone so much worse. we've got another remarkable story of survival. this one in northern california. this morning a 4-year-old boy is recovering after a 230-foot fall on monday. a fire captain and two paramedics propelled to his rescue. the boy was conscious and crying as they hoisted him to safety. he is okay. his injuries include a broken arm, a leg and a couple of scratches. six florida families are out of their homes this morning after an apparent sinkhole

don, good morning. >> good morning. in august 81-year-old joan rivers went in for what was to be a routine outpatient procedure to examine her vocal chords. it examined and including failing to get rivers' consent on all the procedures that were performed on her. >> what you had were multiple avoidable and preventible failures. those failures led to joan rivers essentially suffocating. >> reporter: joan rivers went to yorkville endoscopy on august 28th. she agreed to a routine throat exam. but through interviews with the staff at the clinic new york state department of health investigators uncovered a series of problems with medical protocol. a an ear, nose and throat doctor did not have privileges to practice at the clinic but did so anyway. the anesthesiologist didn't weigh riverses before sedating

her with propofol. the staff did not respond to rivers' deteriorating vital signs and failed timely intervention when the blood oxygen level dropped. although she was resuscitated after cardiac arrest rivers was taken off of life support. attorneys for melissa rivers what happened to her mother will not occur with any other patient. >> made sure for real that the next doctor who's getting ready to perform a mundane, no big-deal procedure treatments it just as seriously as if the doctor were performing brain surgery. >> reporter: yorkville endoscopy responded monday saying the clinic has addressed all issues raised in the report. and that the physicians involved in the direct care and treatment

referenced in the report no longer practice or provide services at yorkville. >> and it's been reported that a staffer used his phone to take a picture of joan rivers during one of the procedures. >> just the words "multiple, avoidable failures." i keep thinking about melissa. more heartbreak for her daughter. now to a major development in the high school football sexual assault scandal in new jersey. the seven teens charged in the case will not be tried as adults. the county prosecutor says the sayreville high school students will appear in family court. legal analyst rikki klieman used to prosecute those crimes. good morning. you're surprised they're not being tried as adults? >> i am surprised but with this county, much more than any other county in new jersey waived to adult status. i might have expected the

15-year-old because we look more at rehabilitation for someone of that tender age. but when you look at the 17 year olds, you might have expected them to be transferred. so what would the prosecutor do? i think that he -- the prosecutor really did a humane act. what the prosecutor did was basically say to himself what if that were my child? what he did was, he looked at all of the factors, not justify the severity of the crime which would have been enough to transfer them. but also to look at their criminal history, if any. their ages. what possible rehabilitation they might. he reports all of these teens are amenable to rehabilitation. >> so if in fact found guilty would it be different in terms of sentencing? >> huge difference charlie. if they were found guilty as adults of the top count, that's a 20-year maximum. here the top count is aggravated sexual assault.

remember this was a very depraved act in this locker room, many acts. and now the juvenile top count is five years detention maximum. it is also possible they may not be detained. >> but as a prosecutor are you supposed to look at it what if it was my child. aren't you supposed to look at the facts and make a decision based on that? is that a common thing? >> well that's a very wise question gayle and yes, you're supposed to look at the facts. and one of the reasons you do that you look at all the factors mentioned. you also take in the views of the victim. by the way as a live thought before you go on one thing that's important is, in this state, there was a seton hall poll, we awe 43% adults, 41% juveniles. >> we're going on rikki klieman, thank you. only on "cbs this morning" -- the technology to help our troops fight on the next generation battlefield.

has played a key role in developing technologies ranging from guided missiles to the internet. they gave us an inside look at how they turned science fiction into science facts. >> reporter: what jason kerestes goes for a run he gets a boost from a strange contraption on his back. he calls it air legs. kerestes, a graduate student at arizona state university and professor tom sugar are developing this device for the penalty gone. the power comes from a tank of compressed air which is connected by pulleys and electronic sensors to braces on the knees. how does this pulley system work? >> we fire air and pull up on the person's leg to give them assistance at the right time. then this goes back down and back up. >> reporter: so basically, it's helping you lift your leg? >> yes, it's helping you lift your leg and run faster. >> reporter: and height. >> with wearable robot, these robots will assist them while

smartphones, including siri. some of the wildest ideas comes from nature like their research on mini robots. this reminds me of an ant colony. >> that's exactly what it looks like, doesn't it? >> reporter: just like they come together as army of ants darpa hopes to collect robots for action. >> it looks like climbing on ten toes, but when you zoom in what you find is they're actually points of contact. >> reporter: so they created a gecko-like material that supports the waste a human. in the never before seen video that a special forces soldier uses to climb straight up a glass wall. a technology that might be one day used in hostage rescue missions. by the way, the inventors of that air legs device that they allowed me to try out, they said

they hope one day it will help the military but also help people with disabilities to give them greater mobility. norah. >> wow. fascinating report. >> like a gecko, you could be like spider-man walking up the wall. >> i'm looking at the four-minute mile. i clocked in at 17:10 the other day. i'm thinking that's pretty good. bill nye the science guy is coming on later. from stealth fighter, you can find out more go to cbsnews.com. it is looking like a mostly cloudy start to the day. out the door we go in the san jose we've got clouds overhead now. and that low cloud deck has moved well on shore today so a slow burnoff. and some cooler temperatures coming our way. in fact not only that, a chance of some rain coming in our direction as early as tomorrow evening. and possibly into early
