this is the "cbs morning news" for friday, march 20 ft,th 2015. good morning. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. today is the first day of spring, but winter isn't taking the hint. this morning a storm is pushing over the atlantic and by tonight into new england. 3 to 6 inches of snow is expected, and that adds insult to injury to places like boston which has seen a record amount of snow this year and could get an inch or two more today. meteorologist eric fisher of our boston station wbz says behind the snow is more cold. >> well spring may start today, but it didn't mean it can't snow. weather doesn't necessarily have to match. we've got a storm moving its way northward. for the commute, we're watching the dc area, much of maryland working in.

it's creeping noordrthward into the day. philly, new jersey and southwestern connecticut that's where you could see bands of heavier snow adding up making for difficult travel. snow at the airports before it rolls out to sea friday night. during the totals we'll see much across central p.a. northern new jersey. 3 to 6. a coating of as much as 2 inches in washington, d.c. the storm booted out to sea by another strong cold front. what that means is more below average temperatures moving in especially for sunday and monday. sunday's highs mainly in the 30s and 40s. the cherry blossoms and daffodils, things you expect for spring, we're gang to wait a little longer than average this year. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu seems to be reversing his stance on the palestinian state. late in his election he ruled out a two-state solution, but yesterday he backed away from those statements.

none of this sits well with obama's officials. say they're reassessing their approach to the issue. susan mcginnis is in washington. good morning. >> good morning, anne-marie. it was quite a stunning reversal. netanyahu saying now he supports a two-state solution for israel and palestinians after he stated so strongly before the election there will be no palestinian state under his watch. the reversal is not being received very warmly at the white house. two days after a sweeping victory in the israeli election prime minister benjamin netanyahu is backtracking on a major declaration he made before the vote when he asserted should he win, there will be no palestinian state. >> i haven't changed my policy. >> now in an interview with msnbc, netanyahu brushed off those comments. >> i don't want a one-state solution. i want a peaceful two-state solution but for that to

happen circumstances have to change. >> he committed to it despite netanyahu's latest remarks. >> words matter and it does prompt the administration and policy maker here's to eval val yat our thinking about the approach to these issues. >> another frustration to the white house has been netanyahu's deal about iran. he said he could live with iran holding some uranium enriching century fujs. obama marked the new year urging them to compromise. >> i believe our countries can resolve this pieceeacefully with diplomacy. the deal would inpart eliminate iran's ability to build a nuclear weapon for at least a decade. the latest indications are though, that a nuclear deal with iran and those five world powers

are no longer on track for an end of march agreement. anne-marie? >> susan mcginnis in washington. thank you, susan. the virginia state police are investigating the arrest of a university of virginia student that trigger protests over race and the use of force by police. martese johnson was arrested outside a charlottes voice bar. it's been reported that he tried to use a fake i.d. his attorney says that is not so. craig boswell is in char lotsville and has more. >> i'm shocked my face was slammed into the brick payment. >> reporter: martese johnson's attorney raid a state state why he remained silent. hi head had blood gushing. >> three officers press med to the ground pinning their knees in my back while the blood flowed freely from the gash in my head. >> reporter: the 20-year-old needed ten stitches. johnson is a popular student who was recently elected vice
