presidential republican contenders move on from november november, minnesota and colorado. after a big loss to romney saturday, newt gingrich says he is still charging ahead with his campaign. nbc's brian mooar joins us from washington with the latest. >> reporter: mitt romney lashed out at president obama and the president had a chance to answer back on a big national stage. in a presuper bowl interview with matt lauer, president obama cited the improving economy as one reason for americans to give him another four years. >> we're not done. we've made progress. the key right now is not turning in a new direction. >> not so fast, mr. president. >> reporter: mitt romney aimed his attacks after the president. >> we're not going to settle for a president that tells us it could be worse. >> reporter: he's looking every

bit the front-runner as he goes into colorado, minnesota and missouri. >> this is a state he won last time and he won it this time. our goal is to get to super tuesday where we're in much more favorable territory. >> reporter: gingrich and ron paul are hoping to collect enough delegates to give romney a fight. santorum is hoping for a sudden game changer but he's running out of time. romney has fewer than 100 delegates. he needs 1,044 for the nomination. lynn? >> brian mooar in washington, thank. a two-year long story of a missing mother took a terrible twist. more now from nbc's francisco. >> reporter: firefighters sift through the litter that is now the home where josh powell lived. earlier in the day, a social

worker arrived with his two young sons. later, the house exploded. >> we believed he intentionally schedule the fire. >> reporter: this is the latest twist in the two-year long saga. susan powell was reported missing in 2009. her husband had told detectives he had taken their 2 and 4-year-old sons camping. detectives could never disprove or corroborate his story. he became a person of interest in the case. for months on end searchers combed the powell's utah neighborhood, even isolated desert areas, hoping to find any trace of the 28-year-old mother. her husband's family told investigators and press that susan may have run off with another man. but her family called those accusations ludicrous, saying she'd never leave her children. last september, josh powell's

father, steven, was arrested on several charges, including vowierism and child pornography. following that arrest, custody of the powell children who had been living in the same house as steven powell was given to susan's parents. just days ago, a judge denied josh powell's attempt to regain custody of the children. now a tragic end with no real answers and a community and family in mourning. francis koe, nbc news. >> just a horrible story there. here is your "first look" at some of the other news going on around america today. it is hard to believe no one was seriously hurt after a small plane crashed into a montana home. three people were aboard. witnesses say the plane hit some trees before slamming into the house. the homeowner was there at the time but everyone walked away from the crash. in wisconsin, a propane explosion was all captured on video. >> oh, my god. >> it happened at a propane facility near madison after a

truck driver filling his tanker had a malfunction which caused the hose to break loose. the blast shook the ground for miles around. thankfully no one there was hurt. in california, a car dealership left the motor running on a toyota camry and left it alone. probably not a smart idea. a man was walking by and took full advantage, making sure no one was around before he just took off with the car. the police chased the man until he crashed and kept going for another block until he was captured. finally, proof that even black magic couldn't save the new england patriots last night. a group of witches in where else, salem, massachusetts, tried to cast a victory spell on the team. they even had an inflatable tom brady watching over them. in the end, only the giants had the winning spirit or spirits. was that look the snooki witch? did you see her with the poof? good morning, todd santos.

>> i think the snooki witch needs to focus on the team they want to lose. maybe try that. >> i guess so. >> whatever it takes. a lot of us, traveling back from indianapolis or elsewhere across the country, a quiet setup for most of us this morning. there are a few bumps in the road. you find a couple of those through south florida with better chances for rain showers today, all thanks to an area of low pressure after western cuba. you see a few showers in the western gulf of mexico. that activity should remain off the coast and back in through colorado, a few light areas of snowfall to start. we could see the peaks, topping off upwards of 8 inches by later on tonight. decent numbers there through western colorado, not in the front range where we saw the last big snow. fairly quiet across the northeast. you may have noticed something on bigger picture, light snow here and there across northern reaches of maine, maybe a flurry towards burlington. activity pushing off the

maybe extending towards wolf creek. the big story across the west is that monster low pressure system. as it moves into the coastline will be a big-time rainmaker, especially across the coast to california, starting later on this evening. maybe the tail end around san francisco and the bay area. overnight tonight and into tomorrow, that will bring some snow to the higher peaks and rain to the rest of us. big gusty winds across the california coastline as well. that's later this afternoon. for many of us, quiet conditions. billings, snowflakes by later on this evening. easy travel weather for most of us. we take a closer look, lynn, coming up at temperatures as we step out the door this morning. job numbers looking up. france will still fly. and why a giants super bowl victory may be good for your stocks. a "first look" at this morning's business headlines is straight ahead. you're watching "first look" on
