trying to held onto second place and it looked like he might be able to pass trump and that's not the case. numbers dipped after the debate performance he was all over the losses. on his heels is ohio governor john kasich who move in the average of polls up to third place some polls have him in second place and he had big endorsements that helped him hang into tomorrow. he helped throw mall -- held thee maller events in barrington raymond and manchester. senator ted cruz dropped to 4th place and he had the evangelical voting block in iowabut doesn't have it here. it's much more moderate voting block among the g-op voters here in new hampshire and jeb bush is hoping for a late push just four points separate him in 5th place from second place marco rubio to show you how bunched up they are. he has been going after trump

we will be with you all nighttomorrow on wbz and my tv38 from the moments the polls close. good evening from plymouth where we have been battered by the rain and wind and snowfall and blizzard conditions did farevie here-- verify here and the islands all verifying a blizzard. good job by national weather service for getting the warnings out. hazardous travel and a lot of accidents considering the snowfall has not been tremendous and the rates have not been that strong outside of far southeastern massachusetts. a lot of wind is out there this evening still. let's look at storm set up. we have a big storm that's spinning well-off to the east. we are talking about 400 miles offshore and actually formed a eye today many if you want a weather phrase of the night it's warm seclusion when warm

it's warmer in the middle of the storm than outside it in a way very similar to a hurricane. people sues the phrase belies a cane when you have a situation like this. throwing mostture in new england and we have light to state. and all the way back into southwestern parts of connecticut and the snow continues at lod to moderate clip until midnight. an additional 1 to 3 inches of important thing. certainly not the type of storm we had on friday with that heavy wet stuff region wide. this is fluff and easy to move. in the south shore in cape anne and plymouth county 3 to 6 inches. and another high tide cycle between 10 and 2 a.m. there's coastal flood advisories in southeastern mass and it won't be nearly as intense as earlier on today. we had the high tide waves were coming up to the second story

across the parking lot covered in water and the road was shut down and all the things you significant coastal storm. earlier today. good news is as winds subside the water level worries also subside and we have an overall lower tide coming in later tonight compared to one this morning a bury burbank is looking at -- berry -- barry burbank is in the studio and so much participation in the storms people sending in numbers and pictures. >> helps out the now cast and in the forecast as well. as you know, for sure. weather watchers all checking in with temperatures all in the lower 20s for the most part right now. in terms of the amount of snow which has fallen it's variablethat 3 1/2 to 4 inches is a report in many areas. way up in belmont new hampshire they haven't had much but guardners at 112 to 2 inches and that's northwestern worcester county 1 or 2 inches and around the rest of the region, worcester had 4 inches

and shirley has been 2 inches so they are out of the pretty much out of that as well. plymouth coming in with 7 inches so you see the higher amounts over southeastern mass where as only about 2 inches around hollis so we will look at temperatures holding about steady tonight and snow tapering off eventually after a few moreinches in some locations a quiet day tomorrow without wind with temperatures around 30 degrees. that's the forecast. we will have a lot more in the next half-hour. >> quiet sound bites. boston public schools announcing they will have school tomorrow. already made the announcement. >> plan accordingly. some watched the super bowl for the game. >> others for the commercials and which ads came out on top plus... >> emotionally this is horrible. >> she is fighting hepatitis c and an insurance company says treated. up next the man coming to her

as john kasich has risen, rubio and bush have gone negative. doing "whatever it takes to win," is not presidential. john kasich did cut ohio's taxes. cut state spending. turned a deficit into a surplus. brought back jobs from mexico and china. that's john kasich, that's conservative, and that's presidential. new day for america is responsible for the content of

that's 1,000 bucks per pill. way too much for nicole until mark saw the story. >> putting myself in the shoes of a feaive with three kids and disbelief and shock and sad. and upset. >> reporter: mark is the financial officer at all car police specialty pharmacy. >> i saw the story and know this is something our patients face offer a daily -- on a daily basis ies. >> reporter: he made a couple calls to contacts with a competing drug with within hours he secured nicole's cure for free. >> and i want to thank everybody who helped out and thank you for sharing my story. >> reporter: now with the second chance nicole vows to fight for others in her shoes. denied the drugs they need. >> i didn't think that i would be able to move on from what happened to mow and that is gift i will never forget. >> reporter: a attorney general
