some places will get more than a foot of snow. we've got storms all around the country. jersey philadelphia new york and boston too. jericka duncan is in chester county that's in new jersey where the snow is coming down pretty fast. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the snow so far is pretty light. it started falling at about 3:00 this morning. let me set the scene. we're in the park where people were jogging, walking, you could see ducks on the pond. totally didn't picture right now. it's not just the snow you have to deal with but the wind that's affecting the visibility. bottom line communities up and down the east coast are bracing for a long snowy day. the plowing started early this morning. truck drivers are working to keep up with the big snow blanketing the roads. >> please stay home if you can. >> reporter: overnight temperatures plunged as the storm moved in and snow began to

fall. forecasters are predicting more than a foot of snow could fall in some places. the storm is expected to strengthen through the morning commute. >> don't be threatened by the warm weather. >> new york city peeked at a record 62 degrees. but with the conditions turning back to winter the city's emergency management department is experiencing caution. >> we're going to be experiencing a very fast snow fall. it could be up to 3 inches an hour. that could create whiteout conditions. the visibility could be very very poor. >> the national weather service is also warning it could create dangerous driving conditions from philadelphia to boston a more than 300-mile stretch in the northeast. officials are telling people to travel in emergencies only. now last year morris county actually received 30 inches of snow in one single storm. so this community is used to

dealing with snowstorms. schools have been closed and the new jj governor chris christie said all state offices will be closed for nonessential personnel. and you can guess why. because of the snowstorm. anthony? >> thanks. 18 hours ago it was 60 degrees here. mother nature having a bit of a mood swing. it's creating treacherous driving conditions all along new york. here's a look. philadelphia has issued a snow emergency. tony dokoupil is there where around half a foot is expected. tony, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i don't know go f you can tell where i'm standing. the philadelphia art museum the famous rocky steps. typically you can see the entire building behind me. this just began. it looks as though the school kids of philadelphia might have been paying off the forecasters because just a few hours ago it was all rain class were

canceled, it looked like a bust. now it's falling as much as 2 inches per hour and major roads are closed already. the majority of flights at philadelphia international airport are canceled and the plowed are trying to keep up. 50,000 tons of salt being spread on the road. but locals here being skreekted to expect a twice as long morning commute. they're communicating a message of stay home if you can. but forecasters are now casting. it is snow guys. >> wow.- it's a beautiful shot tony. thank you so much. the snow is causing chaos on the road. about 2,800 flights, to from, and in the u.s. are already canceled today according to flight aware.com. kris van cleave is at jfk airport with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

here at jfk over 500 flights have been canceled. at least half of the flights have been canceled. in boston more than 60%. that's expected to climb. the airlines preemptively canceled to get ahead of the storms in the northeast. all have made waivers. the nation's largest carrier american airlines plan to cancel at least 750 flights today. the biggest impact will be felt at many of the american hubs. that includes washington philadelphia, and here in new york. new york city-based jetblue planned to cancel 700 flights. delta put the number around 350. southwest was expecting about 250 to be canceled. now, the hope is that as the storm passes airlines will be able to restart service late today into tomorrow. but as these things can cause a ripple effect across the country. if you're flying today, the best

bet is to check your flight status. gail gayle? >> if you're expecting to fly, you're not happy right now. meanwhile danielle is tracking the system. what do you see? >> good morning gayle. this is going to be a major impact event. we've got blizzard warnings through long island all the way to massachusetts and cape code. snow fall rates continue to cross southern new england over the next several hours. the most intense bands will create zero visibility across northeastern new england and intensifies. all the way from eastern and southeastern new york stretching back up into eastern maine. i wouldn't be surprised to see 14, 16 18-inch amounts with localized banding and amounts will taper off well north and

west. it's more like 6 to 12 when you get down across new york and pennsylvania. the wind may cause pockets of outages tonight and the windchill will be subzero. anthony? >> that's frosty. danielle thanks. here's a look at the snow still piling up in new york city. that's right outside the broadcast center. we'll continue to bring you updates throughout the newscast this morning. >> president trump faces criticism from an unlikely source his own, supreme court nominee neil gorsuch who called the travel ban demoralizing and disheartening. they were revealed in a closed door meeting on capitol hill. major garrett is at the white house where the president is not letting up. good morning. >> good morning. as you suggested, it's drawn the attention of supreme court nominee neil gorsuch and he was reportedly not impressed. as the federal courts continue

to review it the president said the time for tighter security is now. #. >> terrorism is a far greater threat than the people of our country understand. >> reporter: president trump's startling words about attacks came amid a criticism of the federal court order halting his travel ban. >> courts seem to be so political, and it would be so great for our justice system if they would be able to read a statement and do what's right. >> reporter: the president's legal jousting did not extend to supreme court nominee and federal supreme court justice neil gorsuch. >> i'm very proud to have picked judge gorsuch who i think is going to be an outstanding member of the supreme court, outstanding. >> reporter: on capitol hill gorsuch told senator richard blumenthal, he considered mr. trump's recent comments about

the federal judiciary disheartening and demoralizing. asked about the judge's sentiment, republican senator lindsey graham said i think that was an honest answer so good for the judge. >> as for the restrictions sean spicer said terrorism concerns validate the move. >> there's some criticism that have come over to this country and convicted of charges of terrorism. >> they're representative of people who targeted or intend to target americans either inside or outside of the u.s. many are naturalized citizens who later became radicalized. moments ago president trump tweeted. senator richard blumenthal who never fought in vietnam when he said for years he had, major

lie, now misrepresents what judge gorsuch told him? it just leaves the question hanging out there. >> senate democrats say judge gorsuch gorsuch's criticism of the president may not be enough to get them to vote yes on his nomination. jan crawford looks at the context behind gorsuch's remarks. good morning. >> good morning. in an interview after the meeting, bloom enthaul said gorsuch's concerns weren't going to be enough to sway his votes and he suggested gour such should make his comments publicly and more. it is highly unusual to see a nominee criticize a president who nominated him. what makes this more unusual is it is nothing new to see a president complaining about the judiciary. i mean president obama bee rated

conservative justices who were sitting right in front of him during the 2010 state of the union address, and president clinton suggested at one point he would ask a lower federal court judge to resign over one of his controversial decisions. in fact, one president, franklin delano roosevelt tried to change the entire composition of the supreme court because he was so unhappy with its rulings. so that's why i think you see some outside groups suggest this issing in more than a ploy for the white house to show gorsuch is an independent. senator jeff sessions will be sworn in as u.s. attorney general. in a few hours. he resigned overnight. alabama's governor is expected to name a replacement later today. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the final hours of a sentence debate. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. and now that sessions has been

confirmed, that's eight cabinet positions down about a dozen to go. and each fight over confirmation seems to get more bitter than the last. now that sessions is leaving the senate he has some advice for the battle scarred senators he is leaving behind. >> in the future maybe the intensity of the last few weeks would die down. >> in what now passes for bipartisanship, one democrat joined every republican in voting for sessions for attorney general. sessions urged miss ex-colleagues to treat other nominations with less heat than his. >> denigrating people i think is not a healthy trend for our body. >> but the rest of the senate is not in the mood for healthy discourse. >> the democrats are angry and they're out of their minds, foaming at the mouth practically. >> the decision by republicans to bardem carat elizabeth warren

from the debate only drove both sides further into their own camps. democrats say she was silenced. >> leader mcconnell owed warren an apology. >> they say it was longover due. >> the bottom line is it was long overdue. >> i don't understand how he can say that. >> republicans say senator warren broke an obscure rule when she read aloud from a 30-year-old letter. >> mr. sessions has used the power of his office to chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens. >> the rules are very clear that you don't impugn another senator. >> for warren the drama had some upsides. >> you sent out a fund-raiser letter shortly after all of this happened. how much did you raise off of

this? >> i don't have that number. but i'll tell you this. lots of people have seen coretta scott king's letter. i think it's more a part of our history. >> coming today they're going to debate the issue of tom price to be secretary of health and human services. democrats say he wrote legislation to benefit some of his investments while republicans insist he obeyed the law. norah? >> nancy thank you so much. protesters fighting the deportation of a 36-year-old arizona mom tried to block a van from carrying her away. police arrested seven protesters rallying in mesa arizona, on behalf of the woman. she was reportedly arrested under a 2013 judicial deportation order. the order was not enforced during the obama administration but president obama has set a stricter policy. don dahler is here with what could be the first in a new wave of deportations. good morning. >> good morning.

guadeloupe garcia dede rayos was checked in. she'll be reportedly returned to mention yeo, a country she left as a teenager 21 years oeg. protesters banded together wednesday night to block an immigrations and customs ban near phoenix arizona. locked inside was guadeloupe garcia de rayos, a 36-year-old mother of two who lives in arizona illegally. de rayos was convicted for using a fake social security number. she served six months in an i.c.e. detention facility. in 2013 the judge rule shed had no legal standing to remain in the country. on appeal she was allowed to stay with regular check-ins but when she showed up wednesday, she was taken into custody. minor defenders like de rayos were given a pass.

recent executive orders brown ss broaderned the definition of an illegal alien charged with any crime. the families say her arrest is a direct result of the president's crackdown. her two children including 16-year-old angel are heartbroken. >> nobody should have to be separated from their mother. my mom is my evening. she's always there. no one should have to go through this. >> i.c.e. says de rayos is being deported because of a court order. her e they aerd her arrest was unconstitutional during a raid and she should be allowed to say. circus
