and early this evening in the south, and then we are looking for the good weather tomorrow. clearer weather, and sunny weather to help to melt some of the snow, and in fact, give us an opportunity to get everything cleaned up to be ready by monday. and also, i forgot to mention the new jersey transit obviously is closed. it is closed as of 2:00 a.m. last night, and that is predominantly to get the plows on the trains to clear the snow awe of the train tracks to get a head start for getting ahead of the monday commute. we can't make any guarantees yet, because we have not seen the full extent of the storm, but i would hope that new jersey transit is up and ready to go for the people hoping to make their commute monday morning. so i will stop there, and take any questions from the media here. i want to thank the mayor for hosting us, and i will be continuing to travel all over the state today. >> i know that you said at 7:00

p.m., there is a high tide expected that won't be as severe, but what can you tell us about the areas that have been flooded? >> well, the water is receding, and we have seen high tide at 7:00 a.m. this morning, and as of now, the water is receding back out. and what we are hearing is that there is not enough water stayed when combined with the more water coming in at the 7:00 p.m. high tide in order to necessitate evacuations broadly or be concerned tb significant property damage. and we are always going to have a property damage, and this is a good opportunity the talk about this. if you look at what is happening in margate, in point pleasant beach, and two places that are fighting hard gaiagainst the du you know. i saw today on the philadelphia affiliates that early this morning already, there was significant water in the streets of margate, and ice floating up the street s ths that had gone the wall, and that the residents and the government in margate

says is good enough to protect them from any storm. and this is certainly not super storm sandy, and those streets were flooded this morning at 8:00 a.m., an point pleasant beach the same thing. significant tide, and again, these are the folks fighting against i. and this is the result of it, and not just pleasant beach, but ortley beach, and that project that has been stopped because of the objections of 17 people in point pleasant beach, and 30 people in bay head, and ortley beach is being pounded. now, we put a lot of sand up there at the request of the mayor of toms river, but that sand has already washed away, and if the we had the dune project moving an close the completion in that area, those people in ortley beach would not be suffering the damage and the loss they are today. and so for the people who want to sustain that loss and damage, they can send their thank you notes to the people in bayhead and point pleasant who are continuing to fight what is an environmentally sound and necessary project. to give you a point of contrast

n manniloke with the sheet project, where there is route 35, it is open there in man manniloke, and this is held up by what i believe is a few selfish homeowners who don't want to give into the idea that we have to build the dunes by using the fake excuse that somehow i want to build a boardwalk or the ferris wheel or the public bathrooms on the strip of land that we are take. it is ridiculous idea put forth by the selfish folks and lawyers who are looking to make money on this, and so i will go down there to take a look at this myself today, and not the margate, be tow the point pleasant place as well. and you can see exactly what you need to the speak to the people in the public and to also provide more information no

court when this is ultimately litigate litigated. >> what is the advice for the folks who voluntarily left? >> well, stay where you are. tomorrow, you can travel back to your home safely and stay there safely if you have power, and that we won't know until the whole storm passes, but assuming they have power in those places, i believe they will be able to travel safely home during the day tomorrow, and certainly not 7:00 a.m., but later in the afternoon they can go home, and so if they have voluntarily evacuated as barnagut did, then stay where you are, and the weather is not good for traveling on the roads in particular, and we don't want to see you get hurt traveling back to your home n. those places, i authorized the state police to deploy force, and national guard

forces to the far part of the state the, and along with high-water vehicles, and swift water rescue teams, and the regular troops to make sure that we are patrolling the areas to make sure that you don't have to worry about the crime in those areas, and if we need to take any rescue steps if things were unexpectedly worse, we have the assets prepositioned and ready the go. >> and notwithstanding the -- [ inaudible ] -- do you have a response to the -- >> well, the unfortunate thing is that we never got any head's up from the federal government about this, and we didn't get a call from secretary castro before he announced the decision. that is unfortunate, and it is contrary to the good working relationship that we had with housing and urban development when secretary donovan was in charge. i spoke to terry brodie who is the head of the governor's office in government and rebuilding, and we have a complete report to put out and our side of the story, and how we participated in the process,

but you one side of the story so far, and so we will be happy to fill it in. and this intervene and something that we had to deal w but we will be ready for next week and those issues. >> can you tell us about what -- [ inaudible ]. >> well, there is little to do about it. when the snow melts, it melts, and that is a usually a good thing for us. and i don't think that given the dry conditions in the winter and the fall, we are worried too much about say the reservoir flooding or the rivers and the creeks flooding, because it has been a relatively dry winter and fall, so many that respect, we are fairly lucky. on the coastline fortunate willy, they are not seeing as much as we are getting inland. on the coast maybe 8 to 0, but inland, 12 to 24.

and eplainland where it is relatively dry, we can absorb it fairly well, because we have been dry. but on the coastline, they don't have as much snow so the melt is not so much. the only thing that i'm concerned about is the back bay. and the back bay is not given the attention of the ocean front, but the back bay can be a point, so the commissioner of bp is goi is going to keep an eye on that. and with respect to the dry fall and winter, a lot of the reservoirs and the rivers and the creeks will absorb a lot of this as it melts. on the coastline, they will get less snow than anybody else, because of the warmer weather there at the coast with the wind blowing off of the ocean. >> can you assess how you feel about the -- numbers in respect

to the -- [ inaudible ]. >> about what we anticipated and maybe a few more inches up north, and than we anticipated, you know, 3 to 6, but again, we have 3,800 pieces of equipment that d.o.t. has put out there, and 32,000 tons of salt, and so on the state highways and roads we are doing a great job, and the dpw workers here and in sayerville, they are doing a good job and working hard. so i don't see any problems or big problems so far. but listen, i was on interstate 287 and the biggest problem right now is the visibility, and because of the wind and the blowing snow, as i said before, only a quarter mile of visibility, and that makes it harder for the tow truck drivers, because they have to go slower in part because despite me asking them not to get on the roads, some people do, and they don't want to hit a stranded vehicle with a plow, and so they are taking their time and slower and because of that, lit take longer to clear the road, but

once the winds die down, it will help the visibility, and they can go much more quickly. i was at the command center and watching the real time camerases of many of the roads that i saw more of the blacktop than i thought, and so there is more snow to come, and we are not taking a victory lap yet, but as i said before, this is my 17th, and we know the right questions to ask and the things to be worried about and concerned about, and what folks should be feeling good about, the gover r governor, lieutenant governor and i have done this many times before, and we are hopeful that most people will get out of their homes tomorrow, and get around most of the state, and by monday when people are ready for work, we should be just fine. >> [ inaudible ].

>> not really. i just met with all of them. and the storm team, we are focusing on the sheltering of the southern part of the state to make sure that cape may, atlantic, cumberland, salem, gloucester, that all of the shelters are open, and ready to go so that people as it is later in the day, if they lose power, that they can get to the shelter, and there is a shelter open and near them. that is one. second thing is just keeping an eye on the flooding. i don't think that we are going to have a big problem as i said before, but you can never count on it. so you are to keep your eye on it. i think that those are the two big things, and the biggest things that we are looking at, and third is to have the d.o.t. on top of keeping the roadways clear, and try not the to fall behind. that is a difficult task in parts of the storm, because in the heavier bands you are getting two the three inches an hour, and that is a lot to keep up with low visibility. and 287 as i told the commissioner, there were some places that were very, very good, and some were spotty, and

i let him know where the spots were, and that is a more of a function of visibility and not a function off having enough equipment out there. and we have 3,800 trucks, and in the southern part of the state as the snow is lessening now, we are going to the salting routine, because we want to make sure that as it melts, we don't have a lot of the refreezing going on and making the roads that much slicker. you are listening the new jersey governor chris krchristi coming off of the presidential campaign trail in iowa and new hampshire to coordinate the storm efforts. he makes the point that he is working closely alongside the new york governor andrew cuomo, and he has made the point that the snow is expected to stop in the early evening across the southern part of new jersey, later evening with northern new jersey and also making a point that he is keeping a close eye on the high tide set to hit around 7:00 p.m., which will

coordinate with the cessation of the snow in the e lower part of the state. that is something they have been watching very, very closely, and the flooding in margate, and mount pleasant and he did chronicle a tiff, shall we say, among the environmentalists who want to build up the dune, and those who want to keep dunes down, but he is doing his best to keep everybody informed. he is saying, look, stay inside, and it is not that bad and things will stop tomorrow, and tomorrow, it is a sunny day, and a big cleanup sunday there in the state of new jersey. this is all part of the breaking news this hour of the blizzard of 2016. we have new pictures of the flooding in parts of new jersey which is again maybe the most damaging aspect of the state. and spilling waters is spilling over the picket fences and offwalls and into living rooms. and the storm is sweeping across the east coast from philadelphia

to new york where the blizzard conditions are dropping. good day to all of you. i'm alex witt, and i'm at the msnbc world headquarters, and this is the thick of it. in new york city, the snow totals could pass 2 feet now. new york governor andrew cuomo declares a state of emergency as the storm paralyzes the i-95 corridor. tens of thousands of people are affected here by this storm. and many of the shore town, and 34,000 along new jersey's coast are without power at this hour. the nation's capital is still at a standstill. heavy snow is expected to continue there throughout the afternoon, and wind gusts of 40 miles per hour causing the extreme whiteouts, and the storm is being blamed for ten deaths across four states, and some traffic along the icy roads. air traffic ground to a halt. all flights have been canceled at the the airports in

washington, baltimore and philadelphia. we have reporters stationed for you up and down the east coast. rehema ellis on the jersey shore, and adam reiss in new york city's central park, but first, staying in studio the go to meteorologist bill karins who is monitoring the latest. >> find the locations on the coast with the heavy wind and snow, and even coming close to the blizzard condition, but it is apparent that the storm won't protus the high enough winds as a blizzard. this is going to be a storm rereferred to as a nor'easter from here on and in the history books. there are gusts, but they are not blizzard criteria, because you have to hit 35 miles per hour sustained, and no evidence of that. the storm shield itself goes from southern new england into the mix, and southern connecticut with the heavy band, and rhode island into the mix, and cape cod, with the snow break out for you, and we have ended the backside starting to clear out in portions of west

virginia and the mountainous efforts, and filled back in, an one of the cities that didn't get as much snow as they were expecting is the richmond area. and you have a lot of sleet, and now you are getting the backend of the snow there, so you still have some shoveling the do. and d.c. the same for you, but the heaviest bands are in upper new jersey. as far as the snow totals go, we ended up with 30 inches of snow in the mountains of virginia which is the highest i have seen. a lot of the cities are hovering around a foot. and a lot of the estimates are 10 inches. i saw a picture from a viewer with 19 inches of snow in long island and so some areas are hit hard and very close to the new york city area. the blue bands will show you the 1, 2-inch snowfall rates, and you will often hear a clap of thirnd, but not too many though. and going from the border of pennsylvania into the poconos, still very heavy for you.

and as far as the blizzard warnings, they continue in fredericksburg and areas to long island and i mentioned the wind gusts earlier, and as far as the windchill goes, the windchills are holding in the teens. it is chilly, but not brutally cold. the timing of this as we go throughout, 5:00 p.m., and notice the show shutting off d.c. at mild knight, and philadelphia, you will be done about midnight, and new york city around 2:00 p.m., and then cape cod as we go tobreak tomorrow. so sunday is clear day for everybody out there on the east coast. so as far as the snow totals go, d.c. did not get to the 20, but as far as in the d.c. area, maybe another two or four, but that is it. and new york city, alex, they could end up with another foot on top of what we have. there is the white house, and they sent in a measurement of 13 inches this morning, and waiting for their update. we are not sure who stuck the

ru ruler in the snow. it did not list a name there at the white house. i am curious. >> and new york had 6 inches? >> well, that is old, but most of it is 10 to 12 inches, and new york could get another foot. the biggest snowstorm is 24 inches of snow, and we did it in 2006. it is going to be close. i mean, this could be a close call to the biggest snowfall that new york city has ever seen. >> wow. bill karins is keeping it very busy. thank you for that. now, back to new jersey as you are looking at the major flooding in several towns along the coast. high winds are pushing the water ashore, and rehema elvis is there in point pleasant, and when we had you on the air earlier this morning, rehema, it was as if you could barely stand, and how is it now? >> well, it is a little bit better, and still fierce winds. if i step away from the breaker that is mitigating the forces of the wind, it is really difficult. the wind is blowing and coming from the ocean, and it is blowing on to the sand, and it

ma makes it very difficult to stand here, because now it is sand and wind and it feels like sleet hits yo new the face, and it is like pins and needles, and extremely unkcomfortable. the governor said in a short news conference na yes, he has declared a state of emergency, and the new jersey transit lines and rail lines are down because of the condition of the rail lines an concerns about safety. he also talked about something like 40,000 people in the area of new jersey who a-- are withot power and working to restore, that and still 8 to 12 inches of snow expected along the coast with perhaps 2 feet of snow inland in some areas. and i have to tell you that i hope that we can pan off of me for a little bit and look off into the ocean, and see the waves. they are high waves. they were at one point 4 feet tall. they look a little bit smaller right now, and even though the wind is still blowing quite

fierce fiercely. the sand and the beach erosion is something that they are concerned about here, because it has really been, and it has really been blowing fiercely out here. that is a big, big concern. some concern about coastal flooding here in the area, and they are keeping a close eye on all of it, alex. >> all right. rehemale ellis, we will let you go and my admiration for getting through the live shot, and that has to hurt. thank you very much. and now, ra e hee ma said that the governor did have a conference where he made statements that we have as much as another 18 hours to go. >> we are fully deployed with the national guard deployed and hundr hundreds of pieces of equipment

moved down from the department of transportation, and the state police have been dispatched. unless there is an emergency situation or critical need, you should not be on the roads. i have been on the roads in new york, and they are dangerous. >> and adam reece, it was a near whiteout this morning when we spoke to you, and not too many people were out, but it is looking like there is not the case there, and there are folks out, and even somebody out jogging. >> yes, out here in central park, and the heavy snow continues and the blizzard-like conditions off and on, and as you heard earlier, two inches an hour, and when this is all said and done, we could have two feet of snow here in new york city. the blizzard warning continuing in through tomorrow afternoon, and as you said, you can see the people here, and this is an opportunity for the new yorkers to come out to enjoy the e snow as long as they are not driving

top street. we have two people actually skiing in sen tall park this morning. tell us your names. >> kathleen. >> kirsten. >> and you can ski in central park, and what is the conditions? >> when the wind is whippinging, it is bad, but otherwise it is great and calm. >> and it is deep, and you are able to cut through? >> yes, the key is to make sure that the pole does not hit the pavement, and that is not a problem today. >> and i bet that you have not been able to ski in new york city or central park in a long time? >> well, you have. >> last year we did a little bit, but the year before that the snow was incredible, and i got out here a ton, so i keep them here in my small apartment just in case for days like today. >> and aside from the skiing conditions, what do you make of the winter wonderland? >> it is great. we will have a dinner party tonight, and we are not stopping. >> enjoy the skiing, and you are off. and i will have to tell you, alex, despite the fun here in central park, we are seeing the people in snowshoes and skis and

actually one guy was running by in his shorts, and another guy on the bike. the major has declared a winter emergency for here in new york city. he wants to make sure that people stay off of the roads and stay home. they have 6,000 miles of streets to plow. and that is something that they want to be able to do constantly as the snow continues to come. and one last things flooding is a major issue not only here in new york, but in new jersey where you heard governor christie a moment ago declaring a it is the of emergency, and governor cuomo also in new york as they keep an eye on the coastline. >> absolutely richlgt i can't believe somebody was running in central park in shorts, adam, but we will take your word for it, adam. we did see the dogs. thank you. and now to luke russert who is in the nation's capitol wheal, y

stoppage there? >> no, we are expecting it to continue into the early evening hours tonight, and that is why the mayor has emphatically told the residents of washington, literally since 3:00 p.m. yesterday, please stay home, please stay off of the streets. we know that a lot of folks want to come out to enjoy the snow, and do that, but avoid the roads. take a listen to d.c. mayor muriel bowser. >> our message, and we need the public to listen. stay home and stay off of the streets. that includes people attempting to drive and also people walking. our plows and the emergency vehicles cannot do their jobs with you on the streets. >> so that is the issue, alex. we are starting to move towards the cleanup effort ever so slowly, and when people walk on the streets because the sidewalks are all blocked off, it causes the vehicles to wait

and perhaps go around and it is also a safety concern more than anything else. i want to show you something here. this is a guy who parked his compact here, this little toyota prias and this is what happens when you are are out on the streets in a compact car. i saw people trying to drive around in these things, and absolute disaster, and shouldn't do it, and stay home. if you have a suv and working on the lift kit all of the time, and trying to look like a cowboy and hot, stay home. we don't need you out here, because we need the emergency vehicles and plows out front. and one more thing, alex, we are seeing a lot of the social immediamedia and everybody trying to outinstagram each other and outtweet each other, but be safe from it, and don't do it in the middle of the street, and allow the people to do their jobs. and we have had a horrendous history of cleaning up after the storms, but the mayor is trying to do a better job. and i don't think that the

school or the governments will be open monday, because quite honestly, it was a huge dump on d.c. >> thank you, luke. and besides you are the only one who can look hot out there on the streets of d.c. >> that's it. that's it. >> and now, we go to meteorologist dylan dreyer at the delaware state line, and you were approach iing the line, an you were none too pleased because of the winds. how'd it go? >> well, it was very are very windy going over the delaware bridge, and every once in a while, you will maintain and get a wind gust and not that i am driving but frank my photographer,/driver/ extraordinaire is driving and telling me. and now, you can see that we are in a snowplow caravan and you heard governor christie the e earlier say that they have more than 3800 vehicles out and the road roads, and you can tell. the road conditions are pretty phenomenal from what we have seen from i-95 and the turnpike

here in new jersey. it is looking like the trucks are doing the maintenance right now. if we had a radar for you, which whichm a sure that bill karins has been showing you often today, there is a little dry spot to the south of philadelphia which is what we happy to be driving through the right now. so as we are approaching camden, and stay south of philadelphia, that will change when we get to trenton, new jersey, where the heavy snow is, and we will drive right into it. but if we stay behind the snowplows, we should be in okay shape, because they are keeping it clean. but the big bonus, because there are not many vehicles at all on the road, because of the state of the emergency, and the driving restriction, and because we are a news vehicle, we can be out on the road with certain vehicles that are necessary, and you know, obviously, anybody who is carrying food and water and any vehicles offering public service, and helping out in the

storm. so we are seeing the things moving along very nicely on the new jersey turnpike which can't always be said when there is not a storm. so it is nice to see that things are moving along well even in the storm, alex. >> good news that it is moving well, well, and people are not ob the roads and the perfect place to be, behind a snowplow. that is the excellent kind of of the clean road that you can get there. and dylan, i know that we will check in with you again as we travel northwards. thank you so much. and coming up next, talk about travel, and delays and cancellations and how vast are they and when could flights get back on schedule? and also, some incredible pictures of this storm tweeted from the international space station and some creative ways that the people are dealing with the snow. >> it is powder. it is better than nothing. i can't complain. i need to get back into shape, and hopefully this is going to help.

governor andrew cuomo, and at 2:00 p.m., the metro will be closed as well as external subway lines at 4:00 p.m. if you have travel plans you need to know two more hours for the long island highways and 3 1/2 hours to go with the metro north and any external subway route routes. let's listen to governor's briefing. >> and all of the city and the state roads within the down state area, and the mta closures and the long island railroad and the metro north and the exterior subway routes. you will hear more details in a second. with that, let me turn it over first to kocounty executive ed mangano who i have mentioned has done an extraordinary job with the team, and then you will hear from the county executive steve balone and then we will go to

the officials are from the mbta. now, we go to ed mangano. >> we want to thank the governor nor the cooperation, and the communication with the office of emergency management, and with each storm, it is better. obviously, you have to heed the warnings here, and in particular, the visibility out on the roadways is very, very poor, and you should not be out there unless you have to be out there, and the governor said that the state roadways will be closed. and we will keep the county roadways open as much as possible, because we need to get to the hospitals and other services, but you should not be out there on the roadways unless you have to be for a very, very important purpose. and secondly, we are concerned about the coastal flooding and the high tide forecast ed for between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. this evening that. high tide could have serious effects on the south shore, and

in particular, if your home is prone to flooding, this is maybe a time to relocate to somebody in the higher land through the friend friends and family plan. and for instance, if it does flood to that degree, as the forecasters said, and you plan to get out of your home for a few hours for health or work reasons, now is the time to move out of the harm's way. that is the forecast for the coastal flooding and we are concerned with that and we will monitor it. stay in touch with the media for the instructions that we provide through my office and office of emergency management, and lastly, we want to congratulate and thank all tof the men and women of the department of public works doing an outstanding job to keep the roadways as clear as possible in the treacherous blizzard-like conditions. thank you. >> thanks. >> thank you very much. i want to first thank the governor for his efforts. we have been through this as he has said, we have been through ate a number of time, and over the last four years since i have been in office, we have seen a

series of storms that have always at the end of the day been a little worse than, and sometimes much worse than predicted so we coordinate very closely. the governor has been terrific from the start, and in providing the resources, that are necessary to help us do what we need to do on the ground here, and both of my colleagues here have said that the roads are treacherous, and it is a combination of the significant amount of snowfall combined with high winds, and those create dangerous condition on the roadway, and i was traveling on the long island expressway not long ago and we had several vehicles stuck, and we helped one of those escape. we have reports of an overturned vehicle. and those roads are dangerous. this is a time the stay at home, and with your family, and fortunately this storm is hitting on the saturday and that is the one bit of good news that we have here. as the county executive said, we

have a big concern with the coastal flooding. post souper storm sandy, we hav seen the low-lying areas and for us certainly on the fire island as well, flooding more frequently than we have ever seen before. so a storm like this is a big concern to us, and we are closely monitoring that high tide cycle coming up this evening, tonight. so that is a concern, and we will be working closely with our partners, and we have coordinated with town supervisors and mayors over at fire island and i want to thank all of the department and the public works personnel, and the commissioner of police and seniors here presiding with the officer dewayne gregory who is here as well. and our great thank s s to the governor who has provided additional resources to long island and has them at the ready for us when they are in needed

in this storm event. thank you, governor, for your leadership and partnership. >> thank you. we will now hear from joseph giulietta and ronnie hickham who is in charge of the new york city transit system. >> thank you, governor. and i'm here on behalf of the power and gas companies we are extremely grateful for the help and support and staff that we have had and also grateful for the employees who have come in to make sure that we are providing service. at this time, we are starting to get the switch failures and some of the issue s with the trains that are getting stalled, and we have to make the decisions that are best for all of the passengers that are out there as well as the employees that are involved. so we are going to begin an orderly shutting down of the systems. and the trains inbound and

outbound will be for the service, and as we hear from ronnie for the transit authority and the passengers out there, stay tuned to the mta info section, and you will see the trains operating on that section. >> thank you. let me echo what the governor said earlier which is that public safety is paramount, and that is the safety of the customers and the employees. as you know, we have already suspended bus service in new york city, so mta, new york city transit, the buses are no longer running. we will also be suspending above ground subway service at 4:00. what does that mean? it means that we are seeing the issues with the third rail. subway service relies on the third rail power and when the outdoor third rail is iced or

drifts or under these blizzard conditions, there can be times when the trains and the subway cars in particular cannot run. that is a dangerous condition obviously for the customers as well as for our employees. so we are doing to the best thing that we think is reasonable which is to recommend that we suspend service on the above-ground stations at 4:00. in order to make that information user-friendly and readily available, we will post on mta.info extreme weather service plan. that is a map that will clearly indicate what service will be running which is basically our underground service. so please go the mta.info and look for the extreme weather map, and you will be able to clearly see whether or not subway service will be running for you. thank you. >> as you heard from the county executives, the snow is nothing new.

it is a lot of it, and we know how the deal with the snow. the wind is compounding the situation. but, we understand that also. the most dangerous pitch from o mother nature is flooding. that is the greatest threat to public safety. it does the most damage. flooding is a problem in some areas of new york city, low-lying areas, brooklyn, staten island, and et cetera, and some areas that are off of the hudson, but it is most likely a problem on long island. and it is a problem that we have gone through before with super storm sandy. with a lot of pain, a lot of hardship, and lot of loss, and a lot of tears and aggravation. so that is the primary concern here. this morning at high tide, it was small amount of flooding.

and tonight's high tide is what we are concerned about, and we are organizing and prioritizing all of the resources to be responsive to that. and we have the national guard on the ground, and nassau and suffolk county have done an extraordinary job to organize the resources, and state police, and everything that can be done in terms of the equipment, boats, high axle vehicles, et cetera, that is in place. rest assured that unfortunately we have had too much experiences to respond to these circumstances, but we are poised for the circumstance, and we will hope for the best and prepare for the worst. i want to thank all of the executives and employees for this plan, because without all of this coordination there is no suffolk county or manhattan or queens, but it is just one eare

that is affect bade storm. and the coordination has been extraordinary. i want to thank the county executive balone and county executive mangano, and also mayor de blasio, and i want to thank governor chris christie. it was my request that he close the port authority close the bridges and the tunnels coming from new jersey to down state new york, and i want to thank the port authority and the governor in particular for their cooperation. and all of the men and women who are out there today, thousands and thousands of public servants who are doing extraordinary work under difficult circumstances. you don't see them. but they are driving the trucks, and they are driving the trains, and they are part of the dpw crews, and they left their family and they left their homes to come tout ser-- come out to

serve the public, and it is inspirationally and we thank each and every one of them and we want them to be safe. with that, any questions of myself, the county executives or the mta officials? >> and governor, with the damage of the storms, and i know that the storm fell on the weekend, but what is your thoughts of the loss of business? >> well, you are right, luckily it did fall on a saturday, and probably saturday and sunday for the storm itself, and we will see what monday brings. we are doing the best to get back to work on monday. the economic damage will be nothing like what we went through in the past. super storm sandy was horrendous. this is a fraction of that in terms of the economics. and we hope in terms of public safety, it is the same. there will be a cost to the state and to the local

governments for the response, and the crews that are out, there and the overtime that people have to work. but in the scope of things, that is not a major issue in this circumstance, luckily. and there you heard new york governor andrew cuomo talking about the economic impact, and it is hard to tell how much it will be, and there is certainly some, but it is not as much as they thought it could have been, and it is a saturday afterall. and talking about the road closu closures which is the most notable thing to come are from that and specifically 2:30, the railways will be shutdown and any subway that has an exterior above-ground element to it. that is going to be closing at 4:00 p.m. as well. we will go the msnbc me meteorologist bill karins, and so my question is how long does it come down like this? >> well, it is amazing and all-day event, and it started to come down and everybody thought

that it would stop coming down, but that is looking like a night time shot there of new york city, but it is not, the middle of the day. and we had 24 inches of snow that was an isolated event, and thundersnow over central park, and that is the snowfall of record at central park in 2006. and then in 1947 we had 22 and in 1988, 16. and already we have estimates of 10 to 12 inches, and we have not had an update since 7:00 a.m., and if we say 10 inches, and if you are looking at the radar, and continuing like this until midnight and then about over, and accumulating snow another 10 or 11 hours, and if you get another inch, we could end up in the 20 to 22 inch range, and if we get into any of the heavy bands, that is where you get 1 to 2 inches, and our friends in

connecticut are getting them in new london and providence, and so with the estimate of how much additional snow, i went from 10:00 a.m. to when the snow ends, and they were saying another 10 to 12, and from trenton to islip, and that is going to put us easily into the 20-inch range. and southern portions of new england, the 5 to 10 range, but that is more than a plowable snow and annoyance, and the cutoff line is hartford to boston who gets missed. now shifting fur this ther to the south to washington, d.c., the top snowstorm of all time going back to 2009 was 28 inches. but we may slide into second time for all-time snowstorms, and top three all time for new york city and d.c. with the same storm. as far as the snowfall totals,

gaithersburg with the reports of the two foot club we call it in the mountains of virginia and washington, d.c., and this has to pivot around, and in d.c., the computers are estimating another 3 to 6 inches by the time we are done. yes, very historic, and the one saving grace for a lot of sus powdery snow, and not sticking to the trees with the strong winds, and this is why we haven't lost a lot of power, and right now, only about 20,000 people without power, and i am so glad that i am wrong because i thought it would be more. >> and my son is texting me in boston area, and he says not a flurry there. >> and yes, they thought that they would get it, but they lucked out. they had it last year for the entire winter. >> yes, they had it almost into summer. thank you so much, bill karins. and pictures from space and intense flooding, and we will look at the incredible images popping up on social media.

i sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to.

eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

>> 49 past the hour, and north carolina in some parts 18 inches of snow has fallen in the last 24 hours. sarah dallof is there for us, and i understand that the weather is affecting some sporting events? >> yes, that is correct, alex. it is a big sports weekend. and the game in north carolina is a go and the team practiced in the snow yesterday, and they will play sunday against the warm weather cardinals. they will start to airing off the field, and get it cleaned up pretty soon. there is also a huge north carolina state game scheduled for this afternoon, and that is going ahead as well, but the officials have asked the fans to not go to the game, and stay home, and watch it from there, and so it is very likely that you could have two teams on the floor, and hardly anybody in the stands. and the airport is starting to

slowly reopen, and the traffic on the streets behind me, be the officials are warning that the danger is not over here. there is a lot of snow with the possibility of the black ice as the things move forward and the officials were kind of stressing that so many of the accidents happened after the storm, because the people are lulled into the false sense of security, and they believe that the worst is over, and they get out there on the roads and it is very slick and slippery. and to put it in context, the state has set up a transportation employee was found dead in his snowplow and truck after it slid off of the road. that speaks to the level of danger and the conditions of the condition of the road and the snowplow drivers and trucks are getting into trouble out there. and the crews are working to restore some power to some 150,000 homes across the state.

the hardest hit area is north of here, alex, more towards the state's border. >> okay. sarah dallof, thank you very much for the latest. we appreciate that. meantime, incredible imags s of the massive storm are cropping up on social media. we will show you those after the break. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid.

do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. this bale of hay cannot be controlled. when a wildfire raged through elkhorn ranch, the sudden loss of pasture became a serious problem for a family business. faced with horses that needed feeding and a texas drought that sent hay prices soaring, the owners had to act fast.

catching up on the sleep. and in all of the mess, we have caught up with andrew who was one of the hundreds of drivers stuck on the highway for many hours, and he is saying that he is finally moving again after a long cold night on the road. we wish you luck, andrew. and now, some flooding from new jersey to the stunning pictures from space, and msnbc director of digital content cal perry, what have you been seeing? >> a lot of great stuff coming up. you mentioned new york city police department tweeting out, don't think about driving. as you said, they are going to be fining people, and potentially arresting e people. this is what we are worrying about still, the coastal flooding and the coast of new jersey and you heard governor christie earlier in the morning talk about the concern there. and let me show the viewers here what we are talking about. we are not talking about the situation as bad as sandy, but

this is what is going on, on the new jersey coast right now. if you have been told to evacuate, this is why you need to evacuate, and this is not a joke. we have gotten through one high tide, but as governor cuomo talked about, there is another high tide and something they are keeping the eyes on, and we are also talking about ocean city, maryland, here, and this is a great piece of video, icebergs in people's front yards and reminiscent of what we saw in sandy, and again, this is the danger here talking about the power lines coming down in the water, but again, we have not seen as many power outages as we thought that we would, and that is good news. the police wants you to stay off of the roads for this reason, so they don't have to do this. this is new jersey, this is not what they want to go on, and everybody needs to stay home. and alex, the undisputed internet winner without a doubt t , and i don't really have a lot the say, but this is like my anchor man moment here, the panda at the national zoo which is going beyond viral, and playing over and over again for all of the obvious reasons, and

the storm surge coming ashore along the new jersey coastline and a frightening reminder of hurricane sandy's impact. but for most of the coast, there could be still another foot to two feet of snow. welcome to our headquarters and "weekends with alex witt." at this hour, snow totals could reach two feet. the governor of new york announced a traffic ban. the ban will take effect at 2:30

p.m. new york mayor bill de blasio just reiterated that nonessential travel on new york city roads is banned after 2:00 p.m., and all of the commuter trains will begin to shutdown at 4:00 p.m., and above-ground subways will also shutdown at h: 4:00 p.m., and bus service is already shutdown. and along the coast, the tide is bringing in flooding. new jersey governor chris christie has declared a state of emergency, and urged residents to stay put. the nation's capital is also at a standstill with heavy snow expected. wind gus at near 40 miles per hour, and are reducing visibility is to zero. the storm has been blamed for at least 10 deaths. air traffic has ground to a h t halt. more than 7,800 flights have been canceled today alone, and all flights canceled in

washington, baltimore and philadelphia. we have reports are from luke russert in washington, and adam reece in new york city's central park, and jacob rascon in philadelphia. and bill karins, i know that you have been monitoring all of the warnings and what is the latest? >> well, the storm doesn't want to let go, and we guy the highest snow report to tunnelton, west virginia, you are only two inches away from a three-foot snowfall, and couple of areas had 30 inches on the pennsylvania/virginia border, and there in winchester, and roaring springs, and those are the highest totals, and as far as the big city, we are average ing in the d.c. area anywhere from a foot and half h to a foot of snow, abphiladelphia the same for you, and new york city is the same with 10 to 12 inches right now, and the totals will go up in the afternoon. ap most of the accumulating snow totals will accumulate until midnight. this is going to show the wind's

directions around the shore. and the winds are still the along the jersey shore, and now, montauk is getting there in long island with the gusting of 49. and still hopefully more people won't lose power. about 200,000 people without power. you have a shield of snow, and still a burst of heavy snow from eastern pennsylvania and northern and central new jersey and across new york and now into the southern portions of new england. the blizzard warnings will continue in the area, and you have the heavy snow to continue for ten hours, and by that time, the snowfall totals will be close to two feet. the only thing that we have not done, alex is the ice in the carolinas, and the flooding in the high tide, but it is not like it is going to be reaching blizzard criteria, and technically speaking, it is not called a blizzard, because we didn't see any location with 35

miles per hour or greater for three plus hours. and it is going to be likely be a billion dollar weather disaster mostly because of the flooding. >> and so what about the bl blizzard? >> well, it is more of a technicality. >> and bill karins, we will get to you in a few minutes. okay. adam reese is at central park, and now with up to 30 inches in the forecast, it is not keeping people inside there. >> no, they are coming out here nevertheless, but the heavy snow continues to pound us. i know it may not be a blizzard, but it is certainly going feel like one. as you mentioned earlier, the mbta suspending bus service, and airports of laguardia and kennedy shutting down, and metro railroads shutting down this afternoon, and most importantly, they don't want any cars on the road s.

that happens at 2:30 this afternoon when all cars will be off of the road. but here in central park, people are having a party and enjoying i. we are seeing the people with the snowshoes, and actually riding the bikes and jogging through central park. philip is with me, and you have been e skiing through the park, and something that you feel lucky for today, right? >> oh, it is fantastic. i love this weather. the skiing has been very nice so far. >> and you came from the east side? >> well, the west side and skied from the north of the park and did a couple off laps around the reservoir. really nice skiing conditions are great today. >> well, enjoy the e skiing today. is all of the fun that we are having here in central park it is a serious situation out there and mayor de blasio declaring a winter weather emergency, and all cars off of the roads at 2:30, and 6,000 miles of streets they need to plow, and they are keeping an eye on the flooding on the jersey coast, and here in

new york, on brak lynn and even here in the island of manhattan for possible flooding. alex? >> thank you. >> and now, the city of brotherly love is set to continue, and any sips of let up in the city of brotherly love? >> well, no. it is expected to hit hardener the evening, and the snow is not expected to stop until completely midnight that. number 17 inches was recorded this morning a 9:00 a.m. when we had 12 hours or more of snow to go. so it seems that we may hit the 2 feet mark that some thought that we would get here in philadelphia which is more than

we thought initially with the storm announced. out on the roads, it is people listen ing listening to the city officials, and we have not seen many people, and a view of a few roads here, and really the snowplows are go g bing back an forth on the primary roads, and they say that they are so busy with the primary roads, they may not get to the residential areas, and excuse me, all of the neighborhoods in philadelphia and all of them with a foot and half to two feet of snow, that snow going to be sitting there until tomorrow when the city snowplows can get there. and another blast of wind. the winds were steady this morning in the 30-mile-an-hour range, and gusting up to 60, and we expect those conditions to come back this afternoon. alex. >> are you seeing any flooding at all? it looks pretty choppy water there, and any whipping of the water up over the edge there? >> yeah. the delaware river behind me is really choppy and look like an ocean, but there is not any

flood i flooding here. of course, in the philadelphia tv viewing area is the jersey shore. we have been watching those pictures all day, and they are incredible. >> yes, they are. jacob rascon, thank you very much from the city of brotherly love. and luke russert is in the nation's capital which has seen a foot of snow, and same question to you, any letup in sight? >> well, no, not really, alex. it is steady since 4:00 p.m. yesterday. it has come to near historic totals here. the mayor muriel bowser has been imploring people to stay the off of the roads, and don't drive and don't walk down the middle of the road, because we have the plows coming through and we don't need anybody to be hit by a car and we need space for the emergency vehicles. if you are looking over the left shoulder there, and not a lot of people are taking the advice,

and there are a few walking down pennsylvania avenue and the shadow of the capital dome which is emerging after being hidden from the winter whiteout conditions for quite some time. and as for what is going to happen for the rest of the day, well, stay inside and don't try to come out here and drive around especially if you don't have a suv and four-wheel drive. i have seen a few dc cabs import small compacts, and it is a terrible situation. they will try to get the $15 fee from you. and another thing that is important, we have dojd a bullet here in d.c. so far, alex, but not having a lot of the power outages. that is a big wor i r because a lot of the residential communities here are built around old trees and powerlines, but that is not the case, because this is softer snow and not that heavy stuff. so hunkerer down for the rest of the night, and the plowing will start up big time tomorrow, and we will see what happens monday. i think that it is a stretch to

think that the schools and the government are back at it, because there is so much snow accumulated and this is not buffalo, new york, when it comes the plowing, alex. >> okay. we will see what happens as of tomorrow, and how much they can cleanup before monday or you may have predicted just right. thank you, luke russert. >> and now, to western pennsylvania where a group of high school students have been stranded on the bus since 7:30, and they are a mile away from the hotel they are staying, and they were headed there after at the ending the march for life in washington, d.c. on the phone is tina edge chaperoning the students, and i understand that your kids from the owensboro high skochool in kentucky, and you were about a mile away from the hotel, and tell me what happened. >> yes, thank you. we were heading back to the our hotel, and it is actually one exit away and it is about 15 miles, and we were heading to the hotel about 11 to 2 inches

of snow on the time, and we were chucking along at 40 miles and how, and nice pace. unfortunately, two tractor-trailers did jackknife and a horrible accident. we stopped. and now, let's say that one to two inches have turned into 11 to 12, and we are have stayed overnight. >> and so you have pushed 18 hours since you were stranded at 7:30 p.m. tell me about it, because i know that you were on a bus and making a travel with the high school students, but is it more of the luxury bus and not typical school bus, and you have a bathroom. >> yes, it is a nice charter bus from nashville, tennessee, and the wise coaches, and we were leaving the march for life in d.c. and last when we left, it was flurrying, and we had good time to make time to the hotel that we had reservations at. >> and i know that there are a lot of people stuck around you, tina, and you have opened up your doors to let some other

frantic drivers what, get a little bit of the snacks, and you guys had food and the like for the kids. >> we have an abundance of water, and we came prepared with that and we do have heat and a restroom. our snacks are dwindling, but have opened up the doors for the heat and the restroom definitely, and we have three neighbors we call them visiting right now, and they are here. and we have checked on several cars. we are blessed to have three nurses on board and plus a prie priest. so we have been helping out to see if anybody else needed anything throughout the night. >> welling it sounds like if you are going to be stuck, you have made the best of it. >> yes. >> any work crews around there, and have you seen anybody, tina, police in contact with you, and do you know when you will be on the road? >> absolutely. we have had the first contact in the last 20 minutes, so it was nice to see a state trooper.

up to that point, we had not seen anybody, and we had a number of call s s to the road crews, and they were telling us that the national guard were out, and i know they were out working very, very hard, for all around, but we did not see anybody until the reare cently. they said they will pave a way for us to try to get back to the hotel tonight, and they feel certain that we could get to the next exit, and that is good news, and we are hopeful. >> well, tina edge, i know what it is like to be a mom signing up to chaperone a school event, but i have never done anything like what you are doing, so my hat is off to you. >> thank you, thank you. >> and good luck to all tof the students, and safe travels and we hope you get back on the radd very soon. >> thank you, too. and imagine trying to drive through the storm. well, dylan dreyer is on the road today, and she going to see how people who dared to drive are faring. we will check in with dylan in a moment. they say when mr. clean saw all the

different things his new smart phone does... ...it reminded him of his magic eraser. it's not just for marks on walls... it's tough on kitchen grease... and bathroom grime too. he's your... ...all around-tough-cleaner, mr. clean.

>> 17 past, and new york city now bearing the brunt of the massive snowstorm to dday. and andrew cuomo a short time ago announcing a travel ban covering new york city and nassau county roads and as well as the port authority crossings to new jersey. the ban takes effect in an hour from now at 2:30 eastern time. and joining me again, msnbc meteorologist bill karins, and so how long is this snow going to last? any prediction as to when it is going to be wrapping up? >> well, hopefully sooner than later, and the next six hours could produce as much as ten inch, and the plow operator s are going to be going to work when we go to sleep, and working all day tomorrow as well in shifts. tomorrow is a day of cleanup. and so, atlanta city jumped to above freeze wig is good, because it will help with the roads in that ear yax and i saw a thing on the social media that the pennsylvania turnpike has been closed, too. and a lot of the areas with the one, and the two and above that feet, and the pennsylvania

turnpike, and portions of northern and central jersey and the travel ban of all of new york city, and that is where the snow is piling up, and they are saying to get out of the way, and let the professional op rayer or thes get off of the road. this is the timing of it. at 5:00 p.m., we have the storm along the coast, and then lit stall out and accelerate this evening and the narrow band from d.c. to philly to trenton and new york and southern portions of new england where the heaviest will be through the afternoon and until sunset. then midnight, it will taper off, abfull out. it is going to be pulling out in maryland at the same time of new york, and then it will be lasting longer in cape, and then cape cod by-- 6:00 a.m. when th sun comes up, it will be goep. and tomorrow, the sun comes out, and the temperatures will be warmer, too. and now, dylan dreyer started yesterday in the mountains of virginia, and msnbc

meteorologist and weather channel meteorologist as well, and what are you seeing? >> we left d.c. at 7:00 this morning, and we have been in the car for a long time between the nine hours it took us yesterday to get from outside of roanoke to washington, d.c., and now we are doing it again, but it seems like we have to beat the clock now considering that the bridges and the tunnels into new york city we just found out are closing at 2:30. so i am sure they will make an exception for a giant blue mobile, but we will see what happens when we get closer. the last, i'd say half hour to 45 minutes up to the hour of driving have been okay. we were in that dry slot just to the south of philadelphia where there really was not a whole lot going on, and the roads were fairly clear. the road crews had cleared away what did accumulate, and now we are getting closer to trenton and running into the next band of snow. you see that we are seeing the

roads are more snow covered right now, and wet and slushy, and if we are going at the pace of 30 miles per hour, and just taking it slow and steady, the conditions have been okay. because of the fact that there aren't many other drivers on the ro road. so you have, kind of all of the lanes to yourself here as we continue to track back to new york city. but it is going to be getting a little bit trickier i assume as we continue up north at the new jersey turnpike as we get the heavier bands of snow. >> all right. dylan dreyer, we have been watching the travels, and i nknw that you are going to want to go to pet a-- pedal to the metal t get home. >> yes. >> and so thank you, dylan. and now, the number of cars have increased because perhaps people heard about the travel ban going into effect 2:30 p.m., announced by new york governor

cuomo and new york city mayor bill de blasio, and they said that if you are out in your vehicle after 2:30 p.m., you could risk arrest. and so those folks have to clear o out. we will keep an eye on them, and hope that they will right here on msnbc. lost shipments, lost invoices, lost prospects, lost respect. well-crafted solutions for today's problems in commerce. pitney bowes, the craftsmen of commerce.

ground to a halt. more than 7,500 flights have been canceled today at loan. all flights at washington, baltimore and philadelphia have been canceled. our meteorologist bill karins is here. any guesstimate on the snow totals? >> well, the airports are updating, and we have weather watchers with the totals, and we know near baltimore 20, and d.c., 14 to 1, and new york city around there about 16 foot. but they only do the measurements every six hours, and so the last time they did it was 7p:00 a.m., and so we are waiting for all of the major airports, and we had 14 inches at reagan, and we could be close to 20 at this point, and so when we get those, i will bring them to you. and now, this is going to be as bad snow-wise as the other areas. as far as the snow goes, as we zoom out, and do some drawing, the storm itself is located off of the coast of the chesapeake. you can see that is where the

center of the storm is, and the nor'easter is at the same time. and the high pressure to the north by the way is sitting up here in quebec, and this area of of high pressure is dealing with the rm stock, and this is why new england has not gotten the snow, because it is blocking the storm from going to the north, and so now it has to shoot off of the coast. the wind directions with this and the cold air is funneling in from the north, and at the same exact time, all of the storm is throwing the warm atlantic moisture like this, and that is why in middle here of all of this mess is all of the bright white, and that is the snow, and the atmosphere is working right no now, and the cold is working right now, and the warm frth the bottom and the air is lifting and then it is ringing itself out, and the heavy snow has set up in the next six hours, d.c., trenton, phillie and southern new england, and that is the area of greatest concern. that is the two-foot bull's eye. and you is had a foot of snow, and now all of this on top of

it, and incredible stuff, and the winds are howling. we won't reach blizzard criteria, but the snow is starting to blow and drift around and the temperature s s in the 20s and light and fluffy, and one more high tide cycle to go through where we won't get as bad as this morning, but it won't be pleasure. some water in the streets, but not as high as earlier. so alex, if the water is two feet in the house or business and now only a foot, it is not going to be causing too much additional damage, but that is 7:00 this evening and then after that, the high tide cycles won't be an issue tomorrow. >> and it is what you have to do, look for the silver linings in these issues. >> yes. >> thank you, bill karins. and let's bring the drirector o apparitions for the new york center for emergency management. frank, thank you for join g ing. we have heard that the governor and the mayor announcing a travel ban and can you reiterate the details? >> absolutely. the travel ban begins at 2:30 here in new york city, and we are asking all of the people to remain off of the road except

for emergencies, and that is enforced by the nypd and, you know, as the train service then starts to, as the governor announced the trains will start to by 4:00 also, and the buses have been off of the road since noon. so this is a good time right now for people that are in the city to leave. and a good time for the people to hunker down, a allow the department of sanitation the to do their job. it is an important time for us, because we want the city back in the order in the next 24 hours so we are ready for the commute. >> and you may have heard bill karins talking a tb flo-- talki about the flooding and what precautions can you taking, frank, to stave it off? >> well, we are seeing the minimal effects from the particular issues. we are seeing the issues in queens, and we did, i say we as being the department of parks build some berns in rockaway and

coney island, and we are not seeing the flooding from it, because it is more of a wind/e snow event right now, and we have been in touch with the national weather service embedded with us here in the emergency operations center, and what we are hearing is the next tide cycle is going to be less, and we did not see that flooding in the first tide cycle at 7:30 this morning. >> and frank, how concerned for this much snow coming down this quickly, and the predictions of the weather to be warmer. any flooding concerns as a result of that? >> no, we will look like actually speaking with the department of sanitation, and it looks like the melt iing of the snow is going to be grinding to a halt, and one with which will create a flooding condition, but we always watch that, and we have a flood flan place that we can use in place if e needed where we move all of the snow off of the catch basin, but this is -- listen, the silver lining

of this particular storm if there is one, it happened on a saturday. if this were happening on monday or tuesday or wednesday, it would have been a lot more affected, and not that it is not an inconvenience, but it is not one in which -- the thank goodness it is a saturday. >> yes. it could have been worse. and frank, the travel ban in new york city going into effect in an hour, and what if somebody is caught but making their way slowly and safely back the their home, a little bit of the grace window if they can say, look, i was here, and i am moving the best i can to get there. >> i think that we have to take this with common sense, right? common sense will tell everybody where they should be going and how they be going, and common sense in mind. as you travel today. so i think that's really what i want to leave people with. common sense. >> all right. it is like aim for 2:30 and get where you need to go as safely

and quickly as you can, and that is pretty much common sense there. >> and it all about being safe today and that is what we want the new yorkers to do, traveling in and out. >> frank mccarton, thank you so much. busy day for you and thank you for taking the time out for msnbc. we appreciate it. >> thank you very much. the winter storm has caused some of the professional sports team to cancel some events, but in charlotte, the game is on for the afc championship as they host the arizona cardinals. and the big question is, sarah, will transportation be an issue, and what about the stadium, it will be ready for the big game? >> well, those are big question, and the officials are pledging that it is going to be going ahead for the big game. we are starting to see the sun poke through the clouds here in charlotte. the ice is beginning to melt off of the roads, and they are getting to otake the tarp off of the field to air it out, and

clean it up before tomorrow. we stau cardinals have a snow day practice yesterday, practicing out in all tof the elements. and the coach saying that he hoped it gave them an edge against the arizona cardinals who are used to practicing in a much warmer and mild conditios.s now, there is another game happening to today. the duke and north carolina state basketball game happening this afternoon. however, officials have asked the fans, please, don't go to that game. we don't want to see you in the stands for once. we want to have you home watching on the television. and also in the general region hit by the storm, two nba game, and two nhl games postponed to keep people off of the streets and give time to shake out before they proceed with the games. alex? >> thank you, sarah dallof. and well we have more big news from new york, and it is not the weather. le forrer three-time mayor michael bloomberg is reportedly considering a white house run.

his late entry could topple donald trump from the top spot. kristen welker is at the white house, and what do you know about this and at what point will we learn about the decision? >> well, it is a great story for the snow day, rite, alex? well, multiple sources are confirming that former mayor michael bloomberg is considering a potential third party run, but there are a num bber of thes an caveat and he said that he would only run if it were trump/cruz and then a bernie sanders nomination on the democratic side. because he does not think that there is a path of victory if secretary clinton were the nominee. i am also told that he is willing to put his own money into the race and as much as a $1 billion. he has done some polling, alex. he will do some more polling after new hampshire and see writ stands. the reason to get into the race, i am told that he is frustrated with the debate on the republican side, and he believes that secretary clinton has

stumbled as various points. so he is taking a serious look at this. but he knows as the independent candidate, it is an uphill battle no doubt about it. because the independents historically have not had a whole lot of success running for president. one source telling me, alex, that bloomberg would certainly like to be president, and he doesn't like to the lose and he does not like the go on hopeless journeys, and he is expected to make a final decision in march, alex. >> and in march. that is even if they don't know for sure that trump or cruz the gop nominee and sanders for the dnc. and this is a new wrinkle. >> yes, indeed. thank you, kristen welker. and this is the worst day to travel on the east coast, and going by air is no exception. the latest in the air cancellations in a moment. and an outside... to clear inside mode. transitions® signature™ adaptive lenses... ...are more responsive than ever. so why settle for a lens with just one mode?

after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines.

tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. ♪ beth, i hear you calling.♪.s ♪ but i can't come home right now... ♪ ♪ me and the boys are playing.♪. ♪ ... all nig♪t text beth, what can i do... [siri:] message. pick up milk. oh, right. milk. introducing the newly redesigned passat. from volkswagen. if there are any cars out there right now, that should not be the case at 2:30 p.m. eastern time. new york state's governor has banned all nonemergency vehicles

from hitting the roads and the police will make sure that happens. let's bring in bill karins, msnbc meteorologist and i understand that you got the snow totals. what are the update sfls >> well, the big ones watching and waiting for central park and reagan national. and that is airport in downtown d.c. and they had a dry slot, and reportedly only one inch, so they went from 14 to 15 inches, and still a ways to get to the 20 inch mark. and now, new york central park six hours ago reported 6 inches of snow on the ground and now they are reporting 14.7 inches already in new york central park. that is not in the top ten. they will get in the top ten all-time snowfalls for new york central park, they have to get to 18 inches, and so we will have a legitimate shot. the biggest snowfall ever was

26.9 inches, and we are obl 11 inches from that, and it could be a close call by the time it is said and done. we also got a e-mail from my friends at the weather channel, they are saying that redhouse, maryland s is the new leader. 38 inches of snow. that is our first 3 foot snow total in redhouse, maryland, and i have to google map it to find out where it is, but i am guessing up there in the western sections of the high country in maryland. but that is the widespread two the three feet of snow. and let me show you where that area is. there is maryland an d.c. and north of that, and maryland sneaks all of the way back up into the mountains, and this is according to was in washington there, that is the most area, there and they have the blue bands there, too, and that is where they are getting the incredible snowfall rates. and now, all of the sudden the poconos in the eastern pennsylvania, you are stuck in the heavy band, and those totals are jumping nup a hurry, too.

and so we have some bad stuff out, there alex, and the storm has not disappointed. it has lived up to the hype. and remember the blizzard that crushed boston and missed new york city and other areas were grazed. this one, new york city ended up jumping in the forecast right before the storm started, but besides this, the storm has pretty much performed as all of the computer said it would as much as three or four days ago. and the slight wobble over new york city is not a big deal, because 8 million people live here, but meteor ol logical-wis logical-wise, it is not that incredible to have a storm jump a few miles. incredible. and is it is going to be studied by the meteorologist students for years to come, and this is going to get into the climate change discussion. after this storm is over, new york city will have 7 of the 10 largest snowfalls all within the last 20 years. new york city's records go back to the 1870s, so that is a

little bit of the head scratcher there, and why is new york city seeing so many huge snowfalls in the last 20 years. >>le with, it is a e head scratcher. >> and let's hear it for the weather forecasters atop the list bill karins for getting it right. and now, we go to kristen dahlgren and the flight delays. it looked like a ghost town there earlier, and looks like it still is. >> yes, it is not any better, alex. now even the gate agents have left. there are some people though if we swing around this way over here in the most happening place in the airport, the food court, and these are all of the unfortunate souls who got here and found out that the flights are canceled and now kind of stuck here. they have been trying to figure out other ways. my friend, willie, over there in the corner was looking at buses and trains, but he is still here, and not figuring out another way to get to atlanta. i spoke with another woman who said that she is trying to get to nashville, and she is stuck here, and they said that she can't get out until tuesday now,

so asked her what to do, and she said, i'm going to stay here and sleep here. she is from russia, and said she is a strong russian woman, and she can take it. she is going to be wait iing he. a lot of the people don't have any other options at this point. some people have left and got hotel rooms, and a lot of these people say they are in it for the long hall and going to stay. the airlines are hoping to fly some tomorrow. but it is definitely going to be a long haul. we looked out earlier, and they are keeping the run ways clear, and the planes have been taken elsewhere and they have to come back in. and when you talk about the cancellations nationwide, the numbers are staggering more than 4,300 cancellations for today and i looked and flightaware is reporting 1,600 cancellations for tomorrow. it is going to continue and take a little bit while to get it up and running, and so a long, long wait for these people unfortunately. >> let's hope they have their

luggage with them to change and get some amenities with them there at laguardia. all right. kristen dahlgren, thank you hav listen to donald trump. we're going to take you there in just a moment. and take a look at a live picture on the new jersey turnpike heading to new york city, we were just seeing it there once again. looks like lots snow and tricky roadways and wind is blowing on the new jersey northbound turnpike. cannot be controlled. when a wildfire raged through elkhorn ranch, the sudden loss of pasture became a serious problem for a family business. faced with horses that needed feeding and a texas drought that sent hay prices soaring, the owners had to act fast. thankfully, mary miller banks with chase for business. and with greater financial clarity and a relationship built for the unexpected, she could control her cash flow, and keep the ranch running. chase for business. so you can own it. chase for business.

featuring his mother the former first lady. >> when push comes to shove people will realize that jeb has real solutions rather than talking about how popular and great they are. he does it because he sees a huge need and it's not being filled by everybody. of all the people running he seems to be the ones who could solve the problems. i think he'll be a great president. >> nbc's kerry sanders is in pella, iowa, where trump will be holding two events later today. what's going on in this tit for tat if you will? >> reporter: it's a blizzard of words today back and forth. but let me take you to the first stop that trump made today in sioux city, iowa, where he came out brashly talking about his momentum saying that he could -- let me get the actual quote here because it's really quite amazing. he said he could stand on fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose votes. that's how confident he is in

his momentum. all of this coming at the same time as you just saw that commercial and that commercial produced a rather surprising tweet many say when donald trump decided that he would respond to that tweet with jeb bush by saying, just watched jeb's ad where he desperately needed mommy to help him. jeb, mom can't help you with isis, the chinese or with putin. then, of course, jeb bush hours later tweeted back, i'd be careful, donald, and there you see this picture of barbara bush, former first lady, dressed like a football player. that's not a photoshop, that's from another photo shoot he'd done before. that was the back and forth. i was curious talking to about 500 or so people coming in here to listen to donald trump. these are the ardent supporters, i was curious how did they feel about donald trump's tweet talking about barbara bush calling her mommy and sort of throwing her into the mix of what some people felt was in

that vein of high school, your momma is so, fill in the blank. this is what those voters had to say. >> i think mr. trump hit the nail on the head. we need a leader and mr. trump is going to be a leader and that's what america needs. >> reporter: is it okay to take down barbara bush, his mother? >> well, he wasn't taking her down. and we all realize some of this is antics so you got to separate the antics from what is real. but i think his tweet was appropriate. >> yes, the words might have been a little harsh from mr. trump, but i think public perception, if i saw the commercial, which i haven't yet, but if i saw it, i would think the exact same thing. there we go, pulling out momma to help with your campaign. >> reporter: and so even though you're not embracing the idea of the tweet and the words he used, you conclude the same thing? >> i conclude the same thing. >> reporter: you may have noticed that everybody i spoke to outside was bundled up.

it's in teens. imagine this, some of the people began lining up here six hours before the scheduled arrival of donald trump. the line now snakes around. this area's going to hold about 500. i'm not sure everybody's going to be able to come in and actually listen to donald trump, but he certainly has a following and those who are here strongly believe in his campaign. alex? >> okay. i guess you can call what he was saying earlier about standing on a corner of fifth avenue and shooting someone as losing a vote confidence or reckless arrogance, either/or works. kerry sanders, thank you. that's a wrap. the new york city ban on travel begins in about half an hour. my colleague thomas roberts will bring the very latest on what the authorities are doing to clear the streets. i'm alex witt, see you tomorrow. . but what if you could wake up to lower blood sugar? imagine loving your numbers. discover once-daily invokana®. with over 6 million prescriptions and counting,
