early this morning in all, 19 manatees were rescued. they should all be just fine. meantime interestingly, this month, florida and hawaii are the only two states that have not seen any snow at all. oddly, in alaska they had to cancel a sled race because they didn't have enough snow. folks are wonder figure their living rooms are caught in an ice age. back to you. >> there is that fire we were talking about. thanks so much. >> let's go to dylan dwyer on the icy hudson river. dylan, good morning to you. >> it's hard to hear. no surprise that water freezes at 32 degrees. we are so far below freezing for a period of time that ice is becoming a major issue on the hudson river. take a look at how much ice has

developed along this major waterway. we are surrounded by it. they use it to transport 70% of the northeast home heating oil. two to three cutters are out on the water every day, breaking through this ice. that is why we are on the u.s. coast guard cutter willow doing just that. it's a delicate balance. the river tends to freeze and if you break up too much it flows downstream. this is one of the worst winters they had seen. we are breaking more record lows this morning and with this cold not expected to stop any time soon cutters like this won't be

stopping either. >> thanks very much. >> they made their way out. >> it's crazy cold and going to continue. right now where it feels like it's 19 below, as you get to the north, we are looking at altoona, pennsylvania 6 below and 8 above in philadelphia. that's right now. you head out west and chicago is warmer. it's minus 1 in ft. wayne. we are looking at minus 7. they are anywhere from 10 to 30 degrees below normal. you get down into the south and temperatures are into the 40s in texas where they had icing. atlanta, we have seen a ground stop at hartsfield airport. here comes more cold air. 10 degrees milder than behind

he was in the u.s. special forces. >> special forces? what year? i was in special forces. >> the comment last month when he was speaking with a homeless man in los angeles. he offered his apology after being contacted by the "huffington post." i have no excuse, he said. i was not in the special force. he was hired to fix an ailing va following reports of scandals at va hospitals across the country. he i is an army veteran having served with the 82nd airborne. the white house is standing behind him, issuing a statement. we take him at his word and expect that will not impact the important work he is doing to promote the health and well being. this is the second time in two weeks that he had been forced to correct his own record. on "meet the press" february 15th he discussed his efforts to repair the va.

>> 900 people have been fired. 60 people will be fired for manipulating. >> turns out only 20 were dismissed. >> any public statements about military service or battlefield sbex ploits are coming under scrutiny about claims of their own battlefield coverage. from brian williams and fox news bill o'reilly. in a statement just released secretary mcdonald said in talking to this homeless vet, he said i incorrectly stated i had been in special forces. that was inaccurate and i apologize to anyone who was offended by my misstatement. savannah? >> jim miklaszewski at the pentagon thank you so much. >> there is a fight over funding for homeland security. this comes amid terror threats

aimed at malls in the u.s. peter alexander is at the white house. >> good morning to you. a possible shut down. it sounds familiar. this is the latest between president obama and republicans. the president's critics insist the white house is overstating the threat to try to put pressure on congress for something the white house denies. either way the knock is ticking. with federal law enforcement calling for increased vigilance, the department of homeland security that controls tsa to fema to the skeet service is on the verge of a partial shut down set to run out of money at the end of the day on friday. >> this is no way to run a government. >> how did we get here? blame a stalemate. they are refusing to pass a spending bill unless it rolls back executive actions on immigration that would attack

about 4 million undocumented immigrants from being deported. democrats want it passed without delay and republicans may get blamed for a shut down. the president warned about the potential consequences on monday. >> it will have a direct impact on your economy and on america's national security. >> what would a shut down look like? homeland officials estimate 30,000 employees would be forced to stay home. nearly 200,000 others would keep working without getting paid. that includes agents controlling the borders and officers at the airport checking your bags and crews assigned to respond to natural disasters. >> that is not good for the homeland security of this nation and public safety and not in public's best interest. >> federal law enforcement insists there is no specific credible threats from al shabaab for attacks on several western

shopping malls, including minnesota's mall of america. senate leaders are, wooing to find a solution to end this standoff and the majority leader is pushing for separate ropes on funding homeland security and dismantling the actions. less than 90 hours to go. >> peter alexander at the white house. >> natalie is following a strange case out of connecticut. >> police in connecticut still trying to put together the pieces of a bizarre bank robbery after the bank's manager was found with a fake bomb strapped to his body. >> good morning. no one is in custody and no one has been injuried in a bizarre robbery. >> tense moments on monday where police say two men wearing masks and gloves force them into a bank manager's home strapping a fake bomb on him and hearded him

to drive to the credit union and empty the vault. the manager who was the chief financial officer of the credit union was taken away from the scene in an license after they removed the explosive device he was wearing. heavily armed state and local authorities responded using trucks as shields. >> we witnessed ourselves with a suspicious device. those vehicles are large enough to sustain a blast. >> his mother was tied to her bed with what the suspects claim was an explosive underneath it. after an investigation, both devices were determined to be fake. authorities say they are searching for more than one suspect and determining if the bank manager was involved. >> certainly we are considering all possibilities. whether or not he was coerced

doing something against his will or a suspect. there is an active investigation. >> police say there have been no arrests yet. they have not disclosed whether the suspects fled the scene with any money. very bizarre. >> sure is. thanks so much. alaska becomes the third state where it is legal to grow own, and smoke marijuana. alaska voters passed a measure legalizing pot in november. daals 21 and older will be able to have up to one ounce and grow up to six plants at home. buying and selling is still illegal is so is smoking it in public. witnesses were shocked that no one was killed when a boat veered off course and slammed into a busy restaurant late monday in florida. seven people were on board and two were taken to the hospital with minor injuries and i don't know in the restaurant was hurt. heavy fog in the area may be to blame. >> the traffic camera out of

between 4 and 11 months. we would never recommend to give a whole peanut to those kids because of the hazard. peanut butter to banana is what what they used in the study. >> you don't want certain children exposed. who is highest at risk. >> children with eczema and cow's milk and egg allergy and a strong family history. >> remind parents of what the symptoms are. >> correct. what we typically see is an itchy ratch, hives, some of them may have nasal congestion and nausea and thingy ytingling around the mouth or shortness of breath would warrant intervention much sooner. >> they expose them in infancy

leave. >> you think he lost his confidence. is that harder to get back than the physical? >> absolutely. he is standing over the back and you have to chip it and you hold it back. all those gremlins are going to be sitting in. >> it's interesting. not long from now. happy birthday. >> thank you. good to see you. >> coming up kid rock heats up the studio with a live performance. but first, this is "today" on nb

so my suspicion is that it's the wedding that's taking up so much of their time that they're not having enough quality time with each other right now, which is why she's the mistress. >> okay. rebecca says she's 20 years old. lately i have been having a lot of dreams of me dying. but they're not necessarily scary. but in one particular dream, i got in a car crash and died but continued walking with a huge crowd of people toward heaven. >> oh! >> at least she's going the right direction. >> death dreams are common. we'll dream of our own death when there's a big change or ending going on in our life, letting go of the old to embrace the new. >> healthy dreams? >> it could. they're allowing her to mourn what is lost to embrace what is coming. >> i have a dream that's been driving me crazy.

on the scene that an elderly woman lost control of her jeep went over a guardrail and land on top of three cars. >> we had one older female victim trapped in the car. through the efforts of the firefighters and rescue companies, we stabilized the car and got the victim out. >> that victim was rushed to the hospital. investigators are now trying to figure out why the driver of the jeep lost control. new castle county police and fbi are getting ready to come out with an update about the amber alert for elinor trotta. they will hold a news conference at 11:00 a.m. in about half an hour. police say the 3-year-old was snatched by her father michael trotta, after allegedly attacking the little girl's mother. police believe trotta is driving a red suv, possibly a ford explorer and may have fled to new jersey or new york city. we'll get a live report from nbc 10 delaware bureau reporter tim furlong on nbc 10 news at 11:00. our first look at the forecast now from meteorologist bill henley. bill? >> vai, still brutally cold outside. we have bright sunshine we're

we're back with more of "today" on this brain teaser "boozeday tuesday." before we went to break, we left you with a riddle. >> here it is. what gets wetter and wetter the more it dries? >> and the answer is a towel. okay. >> thank you, zach. our phone director got it right. now to something a lot of women who want to have children think about as they age, which is their fertility. >> whether in you're 20s or 40s one expert is helping women understand their biological clock in "the whole life fertility plan". >> it's written by the director of the nyu fertility center and he'll help you answer the questions of these two ladies, jimmie and rachel. >> women talk about an age

there's an age that you may be on the edge. what is the median age for getting -- >> the peak fertility is age 25. but there's a progressive decline starting at that young age. but most of the drop happens late 30s, over 40s. pretty much over age 44, women aren't getting pregnant with their own eggs. but it mostly happens at 38 and 39. but you can't measure fertility. there's only one test. you don't know at any age if you're fertile until you try. >> and there are thoughts that you may have had problems along the way with end mee trio sis and other kinds of menstrual problems. >> well, they get less likely to make a healthy embryo. and their eggs become less viable. >> for a young girl watching in her 20s and wants to make sure her eggs are viable, is there

something within her control she can do. >> there are tests to give us an idea. but the only test of fertility is trying to get pregnant. but don't be alarmed. just get information. >> we have jenny here. jenny's newly married but you're not ready to have children just at this point in time. what question do you have for the doctor? >> i'm somebody who'd rather wait. i'm a performer so it's not really a lifestyle to introduce a child into it. and my mom had me at 36. and one of my aunts had her kids at 35, 36. that's more of the age that i'm looking at. is that more genetic or luck of the draw. >> there is a genetic component. but just because your mom was fertile at 30 or 34, doesn't mean you will be. there are things you could do to get an idea about your current fertility and maybe make better plans.

you can do a test and find out if you want to that maybe it's not doing so well and maybe you shouldn't wait. it puts a lot of pressure on you. that's not the intent. but knowledge is power. >> right. >> you have control over your decisions, that's it. you don't have control over what's going to happen. >> the outcome. >> rachel did something that some young women are doing as well. you froze your eggs. >> yes. >> how long ago was that? >> two years ago. >> you're in your 30s now. why did you decide to do that? >> i was 32 at the time. and i was already dating my current fiance. but i had been through enough relationships that i thought i wanted some sort of insurance. >> and he's fine with all that. >> your egg anyway, right? >> right. >> did anybody question that and try to talk you out of it? >> yes, they did. they just thought it was early and -- >> not necessary? >> exactly. >> doctor, is she doing the right thing, freezing her eggs at this age?

>> that's a personal decision. it's an insurance policy. it's a hope, not a promise. it's an option, not an obligation. it affords women the ability to have their own eggs in the freezer if they turn out to be one of our patients who can't get pregnant with her own eggs then she's her own egg donor. >> is it expensive to do that? >> yes. it's costly. but there are advantages, too. it's the security of knowing you did something and for many women, that's a really good choice. but it's not for everybody. >> i think a lot of women, especially when they look at hollywood and see celebs having babies or getting pregnant at 40 and beyond and they go i can wait, i can wait look at so-and-so -- >> i've been doing this for 25 years. very few of my patients over the age of 44 get pregnant with their own eggs. >> you say it's not the amount of eggs that are -- it's the quality. >> yeah. mother nature is very cruel. you had all the eggs you were

ever going to have when you were a fetus in your mother's womb. every month you waste 500 eggs to ovulate that one good egg. which isn't always good. as you get older, the number and quality goes down. it's hard to get that one good egg. >> a lot of time couples try to get pregnant and then the minute they stop trying, they either adopt and you hear about them having a baby or they're finally relaxed. is there anything in the brain -- >> i don't think it's psychology. it's the baseline pregnancy rate that exists. i've seen people after years of infertility have a spontaneous pregnancy out of the blue. and it's just good luck. >> all right. thank you all very much. >> we appreciate it. why a simple patch may be the answer to treating peanut allergies. and the cabin kings take your wildest dreams and turn

do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

now to what could be a major breakthrough for millions who deal with peanut allergies. in the past ten years, the number of people who suffer from them has doubled. >> now there may be some new hope when it comes to treating those allergies and possibly preventing them in young children altogether. >> here to explain is dr. natalie azar. a couple of studies. the first one talks about a

patch containing some peanut oils. tell us how this is changing things. >> it's changing things -- first and foremost it's not a cure for peanut allergies. but the endpoint of this study was the people who had the patch were able to tolerate the equivalent of i think, four peanuts a day. >> without symptoms? >> without symptoms. these are people who are diagnosed with a peanut allergy they have to be very concerned about peanut-containing foods. things that could be contaminating, like candy in the manufacturer's plant. so the message is it gives them that extra blanket of security. if they are accidentally exposed, they may not have such a severe allergic reaction. >> do you wear it forever or you just wear it once and it takes care of it? >> excellent question. they didn't actually go into that in this particular study. it was done for one year. the issue is tolerance, when you have -- you're making an antibody, you have an immune

reaction to something, you want to continue exposure typically with those things rather than stopping and reexposing. in all likelihood, they may wear it maybe for life. >> is the patch available now? >> no. it's a couple of years away. a lot of different studies have looked into this idea of slowly desensitizing people by giving small amounts of it until they build up their immunity. >> wanted to ask you again a lot of people probably thinking the same thing out there. when i was growing up in the 1800s, nobody had a peanut allergy. i thought it was silly. i never heard of it. why now? >> there are a few different theories. but the most common one is that we've become too clean of a society. we're not exposing kids to different allergens. so everything your body sees suddenly is foreign and then you

start attacking it as opposed to giving people a little bit of this, a little bit that, bacteria, viruses, you're building up your immune system. >> there's a second study which is interesting. they exposed infants between the ages of 4 and 11 months to peanuts three times a week, what did they find? >> this is huge. if you are concerned about a food allergy you avoid that thing completely. they flipped this on its head and they took infants at high risk, basically having a history of eczema or egg allergies and expose them three or more times a week and they found they reduced the incident of peanut allergy by 80%. >> surprised parents would have allowed that on their children. >> these are high-risk kids. without doing this, they are so likely to develop the peanut allergy. it's done -- we'll stress this -- medical supervision with small amounts so that should there be a significant allergic

reaction, they can treat that. >> parents shouldn't be giving tiny bits of peanuts to their children to build up immunity. >> peanut allergies happen between 3 and 6 months. eczema as well as other food allergies are at major risk for that. we are not recommending parents test their children at home. do it under the guidance of an allergist or pediatrician. >> dr. natalie, thank you. if you can picture your dream home, these guys can make it. >> the cabin kings help build us up on a few skills of our own. there's a place for vacationers who seek more than just a little time off. the ones who choose to go big or stay home. ♪ come with me now ♪ where every amazing, despicable wizarding adventure reveals moments that are truly epic. this place is made for those who do more than just vacation ...

and you can ice fish. >> what you've done in our own studio is fascinating. you've created a toilet there too. show us what you did. >> i built this for my partner because he doesn't like going out in the woods. this is just something simple. >> what is it? a chair you cut the bottom out, a bucket is underneath -- >> up against a tree. then you take this out. and off you go. >> off you go! >> i think it's more comfortable just to go out in the woods. >> guys, thank you so much. you can see the show premiering tonight on the national geographic channel. >> we are back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.
