eric fisher is chief meteorologist at our cbs station in boston, wbz. eric. >> reporter: anthony, good evening. we're seeing some impressive snow totals from this storm, especially for areas just north and west of that 90 corridor. that's where we thought heaviest band would set up, 30-inch totals. we could be seeing some three-feet amounts before things wind down. still snowing heavily in parts of new york state and even into northeastern p.a. heavy snowfall continuing for new york state and into parts of northern new england. we'll also be watching areas of snow showers lingering well into the day tomorrow. not inconceivable a few new york towns could approach 40 inches of snow before things wind down. behind us work plenty of cold. temperatures running, 20, 25 degrees below average. it will be a slow melt. and here's the problem -- we had all that warmth in february, and washington, d.c., warmest february, warmest winter on record.

when you have a really warm spring, it usually doesn't last. now behind this storm, look at the lows by tomorrow morning -- teens and 20s, and all those areas where everything started to grow and bloom. so, anthony, this will be a big issue. we might see a lot of crop loss. we might even see a lot of cherry blossom damage in the nation's capital because of this cold. >> eric fisher, thanks, eric. in washington, republican leaders are trying to salvage their health insurance plan after the nonpartisan congressional budget office projected it would leave more americans uninsured than before obamacare was enacted. here's congressional correspondent nancy cordes. >> the cbo report raises some serious concerns. >> reporter: gop opposition to the gop plan mounted today after congressional number crunchers projected that the party's obamacare replacement bill would add 24 million people to the ranks of the uninsured. >> obviously, in a state like mine that had medicaid expansion, we have deep

>> lower taxes, lower deficit. >> reporter: it sounds like you're saying the parts of the cbo analysis you like are accurate and you parts you don't like are flawed. >> um -- that's not what i was saying. i pointed out the part that i think is an accurate reflection of the tax reduction. it's pretty hard to predict coverage when the government stops telling you, you have to buy something you don't want. >> reporter: one of the bill's authors says that he and other gop leaders are considering some changes to the bill's tax credit system. but other republicans aren't waiting around to find out who they come up with, anthony. in fact, just this evening, a florida congresswoman became the latest lawmaker to say she's voting no. >> nancy cordes, thanks, nancy. the fbi is investigating whether the trump campaign had improper contacts with russians who wanted to meddle in the presidential election. earlier this month, roger stone,

a friend and former adviser to mr. trump, told our jeff pegues he had no contact with russian hackers, including the mysterious guccifer 2.0. but stone's story has changed. >> there is no collusion here. >> reporter: despite that claim, roger stone now admits that he was in contact with guccifer 2.0, at least 16 times during the 2016 campaign. that twitter handle released hacked information believed to be stolen from democratic party servers. it targeted hillary clinton and democratic candidates in at least six states. >> at the time i had my one and only communications with him. >> reporter: you had more than just one contact with this person. you had one, two, at least three, between august 12 and september 9. >> right. i would refer to it as an exchange. >> reporter: that exchange appears to have started after guccifer's first account was

suspended, and then reactivated in mid-august. "delighted you are reinstated," stone wrote. guccifer responded, "do you find anything interesting in the docs i posted?" a day later, according to these texts confirmed by stone he asked guccifer to retweet an article stone had written. "please retweet how the election can be rigged against donald trump." guccifer replied, "done." and later on the same day, "please tell me if i can help you anyhow." earlier this year, u.s. intelligence concluded that guccifer sites were a front for russian military intelligence. in a way, you're encouraging them to release more information. >> yeah, that's called networking. remember, i have no idea this gentleman is allegedly a russian. >> reporter: on sunday, arizona senator john mccain called for stone to testify in upcoming hearings. anthony, stone defiantly told us that his response to that is "game on." >> jeff, thanks.

the bowler was an interesting statement. coming up next -- the top marine general faces a barrage of questions over the nude photo scandal. and later, a sheriff channels his inner sajak to capture fugitives. cough doesn't sound so good. take mucinex dm. i'll text you in 4 hours when your cough returns. one pill lasts 12 hours, so... looks like i'm good all night! some cough medicines only last 4 hours. but just one mucinex lasts 12 hours. let's end this. do yno, not really. head & shoulders? i knew that it's the new head & shoulders! the new tri action formula cleans removing up to 100% of flakes protects and even moisturizes for sofia vergara hair

training that females are inferior. >> reporter: general neller testified that about 500 current and former marines have been identified so far as having shared nude photos of female marines over the internet, and that's just one site. investigators have found at least 17 more sites containing thousands of photos. anthony. >> david martin at the pentagon. thank you, david. one republican, one democrat, one car. on the road with will and beto next. bite into magnum double caramel... ♪
