antoinette: good morning. it's 8:12. welcome back.

lake geneva just swallowed up about a dozen cars using the icy surface as a parking lot. doug: not a good idea. the eyeopener's frank holland back now to explain what went wrong here. as we said earlier, a lot. frank: doug and antoinette, it's an annual tradition. there were plenty of people out to watch an ice-sculpting competition nearby. they were parking their cars on the ice. but this year, the weather just really hasn't been cold enough to keep the ice hard enough to support all those cars. as you can see. about a dozen cars fell into a barely-frozen lake geneva. dozens of cars parked closely together. after the break, laurie oberhelman's honda c.r.v. getting pulled to shore. she says she really regrets parking where she did. laurie: i think it's stupid to park on ice now. i won't do that again! but live and learn, right? frank: a tough lesson learned there. luckily no one was injured. temperatures were just above freezing, but wisconsin has seen a fairly mild winter. and many lakes in southern wisconsin are dealing with poor ice conditions.

it is, i don't know if i'd feel safe parking my car like a couple thousand pounds on ice. doug: not a lot of living and learning necessary there. danielle: i wouldn't do that today. our temperatures warming up in the mid 40's. a little bit of melting going on. look what's behind us. that's storm one. then we have storm two. we have two storms on the way. bigger punch. you can see that area of low pressure down to the south strengthening right now off the carolina coast. a lot of heavy bands of rain with this one. flipping over to snow near raleigh. and all of this is going to ride up the eastern seaboard and eventually impact our area. so today we are dry. we are sunny. but by tonight, clouds are rolling on in. as we get towards, say, 8:00 a.m., the snow is flying. it may start off as a rain-snow mix on the cape. quickly transitions to all snow by 8:00. it's in boston by 8:00. worcester as well.

by lunchtime, it backs all the way as far west as the berkshires, southern new hampshire you're involved too. and then heavy, steady bands down along parts of the south shore, the cape and islands continuing. it continues through the afternoon. may let up a little bit in some spots but that ride home from work especially from outside of boston does look like a snowy one. and then overnight continues even into tuesday morning. starting to let up though the farther south and west you are. then we'll let up towards the north and east as we go through late morning on tuesday. when all is said and done, what are we talking'? well, outside of 495, outside of the city of worcester maybe 2-4 inches and the farther west you go, maybe a little less. once you get inside of it and that does include the city of likely. but then you get to this area right in here and i think this is the area because of ocean-enhancement that could see seven inches plus, maybe even close by the end of this to a

we're starting to look at the models. we may even up these totals just a touch. side. winds on the high side with this one as well. coastal flooding on the medium side. and power outages especially on the south shore and southeastern mass. well, your temperatures will be close to the freezing mark when that snow is going. so what are we talking in terms of the wind speed? wind gusts in excess of 45 miles an hour right here to the cape as well as parts of the coastal south shore. that area may even see near blizzard conditions in some locations. so, of course, that could traik down some power lines. the other thing is this wind is going to pile up the water. tides are astronomically high so we're watching that 11:00 a.m. high tide. could see some pockets of minor coastal flooding. so here we go. this area of low pressure rides up the eastern seaboard. it impacts us by tomorrow morning. continues through the afternoon and evening and then here comes this second one developing. this one does look a little weaker and a little farther off shore. so we may only see some snow

regions on tuesday. that is the great news as we continue snow showers continue through wednesday. as we head towards the weekend, here's what you can expect for next weekend. arctic air pushing on in which means high temperatures drop back into the 20's. overnight lows in the teens and even single digits so we have to get through an unsettled week of weather with a lot of snow especially for monday. antoinette and doug. antoinette: we're bracing ourselves, danielle. thank you. time now is 8:17. a check of stories we're following right now. doug: in a special announcement read on state-run north korean t.v., the announcer says the country has put a satellite into orbit on a successful rocket launch. it's believed that technology could carry a missile targeting the u.s. this launch after north korea claimed it tested a hydrogen bomb last month. officials in south korea say they have agreed to begin talks with washington on a possible deployment of a missile defense system in south korea. antoinette: to taiwan where

though it's dry today, we go a high chance tomorrow for our winter storm. we already have that winter storm watch in effect right now. it hats been extended for the north shore into boston, metro west, to the city of worcester. down along the south shore, the cape as well as the islands. when all is said and done, 2-4 inches in that lighter blue color. over search inches though in that bull's eye color down to the south. antoinette and doug. antoinette: we don't seem happy about that. it's super bowl sunday, and kick-off is just hours away. doug: who knew? abc's lauren lyster explains for some, the game is just a side show. reporter: making an appearance at the super bowl this year, marilyn munroe, christopher walkin, and icon of tv show scott bao. >> anybody want to see scott? it's included in the price of admission. reporter: those are just a few of the celebs appearing in ads

you just cannot negotiate that way with terrorists. frank: james foley's mother diane has been very critical of what she calls the "shockingly unresponsive u.s. government's response" to foley's abduction in syria in 2012. mrs. foley says she hopes the federal government will make freeing hostages a bigger priority. antoinette? antoinette: frank, thank you. earlier in the day, one candidate did land a major endorsement. massachusetts governor charlie baker was in bedford, new hampshire, to endorse new jersey governor chris christie. baker said that while he and christie don't see eye to eye on every issue, the new jersey governor has shown a proven ability to work across the political aisle. governor baker: the funny thing about elections, what matters is who shows up and votes. polls? polls are just numbers on a board. what matters is who shows up on election day and votes. christie: so you all are going

vote? antoinette: baker also praised christie's determination and toughness. doug: it wasn't just the republicans in the granite state last night. the democratic presidential hopefuls were also busy campaigning and speaking with potential voters. sanders: if we can bring out a decent vote on tuesday i am confident we're going to win. clinton: right now we need to join together to make sure we serve each other and our country. doug: they're back on the trail today. sanders has an event planned in portsmouth. and clinton will continue campaigning today before travelling to flint, michigan. this morning, a unique perspective on the candidates vying for the white house from the man who keeps a close watch on the new hampshire primary. >> i think that if more people could see candidates behind the scenes, they would have a much better opinion of their government, of congress, and of

amount of data. it will likely give us the angles of the boom of the two pieces that were in action at the time. antoinette: investigators say the crane was being lowered at the time of the accident. the winds were very strong. doug: right now boston police are investigating after a body was discovered at a construction site in the back bay. beacon street for much of the day yesterday. two boston firefighters lost their lives battling a nine-alarm fire next door two years ago. the block of brownstones is being renovated after sustaining heavy damage during that fire. antoinette: right now a hit-and-run is under investigation in fairhaven. police were called to sycamore street just after 2:00 yesterday morning after a snow plow operator discovered a man and woman lying in the street. both were seriously injured but are improving this morning. so far, no arrests. police in new hampshire pulled over this man speeding more than 30 miles per hour over the speed

detect a scam. frank: this morning, the i.r.s. is warning people about a telephone scam where taxpayers are threatened if they don't pay right away. >> we'll put you behind bars. frank: that's the sample of the type of call victims get, someone claiming to be from the i.r.s., demanding payment of back taxes. the i.r.s. telling everyone to be on high alert. the agency is also getting the word out that the i.r.s. generally makes first contact by letter, will never demand immediate payment, and does not threaten force. but starting next month, it may get harder to tell a scammer from a legitimiate tax call. a new law requires the i.r.s. to hire collection agencies to collect taxes, and those agencies may call taxpayers. steve weisman: in the future, when collectors are actually calling on behalf of the i.r.s, people will be more likely to fall for that scam. frank: since october 2013, 5,000 people have lost more than

scammers. if you have any questions about whether you owe taxes, you can still call the i.r.s. directly. >> bernie, how are things going up in new hampshire. sanders: okay. >> just okay. >> well, it's pretty, pretty, pretty pretty good. antoinette: bernie sanders going primetime. the senator briefly taking a break from campaigning to make his debut on saturday night live yesterday. he was alongside his doppelga nger, larry david. doug: the comic does a dead-on impersonation of him. sanders portrayed a passenger on board the titanic as the famous ship began to sink into the ocean. the two arguing over who should be allowed on a lifeboat. >> we need to unite and work together if we're all going to get through this. >> sounds like socialism to me. >> democratic socialism.

>> yuge difference. antoinette: huuuge difference. doug:sanders is the third presidential candidate to appear on "snl" this season. fellow democrat hillary clinton made an appearance last fall, and republican donald trump hosted in november. >> now your storm team 5 focast with meteorologist danielle vollmar. danielle: check it out. here we go. we are live in boston. you're looking up at some bright blue, clear skies out there. boston picking up some snow as of last friday from our first storm. now we're watching another potential storm knocking on our doorstep. so far this year, 17.2 inches of snow. last year though we had 54.2 inches of snow. last season 110.6. inches of snow in boston. now here is storm system number one. this is what we want to pay attention to. we have storm system number two that will follow it but won't be as strong.

let's talk about storm system number one. we are going to stay dry today and warm, in the low to mid 40's. should help to melt the snow. watch after midnight tonight. here we go. by 8:00, the snow is flying on the cape and the islands. even in boston and worcester potentially. and then as we head deeper to about lunchtime or so, we start to see that snow back all the way as far west as the berkshires. all the way as far north as southern new hampshire. and the snow is really starting to fly on the south shore and the cape at a heavy clip. it's going to continue through the afternoon, may lighten up into central mass at some time. but most of the time it's pretty heavy and steady along the south shore. it continues wind on down by tuesday morning although tuesday morning's commute could still be a rough go of it. now when all is said and done, outside of the city of worcester in this lighter blue color, 2-4 inches. the farther west you get and north, you may see less in terms of the totals. you get inside of 495, you also

you're seeing 4-7 inches in boston. the cape and areas as well as down around rhode island and also out toward the outer cape. however, there will be a bull's eye area in here where i think ocean enhancement could lead to seven inches or more and potentially upwards of 10 inches to a foot in some locations. so be aware of that. it's not just the snow. it's also the winds. we could experience near blizzard-like conditions on the cape, islands and maybe even in plymouth. the winds will be very strong. we're also talking about that wind piling up the water. coastal flooding will be an issue. that could lead to some power outages especially in southeastern mass where that snow will be a heavier, wetter snow as temperatures will be right around freezing. so wind gusts in excess of 45 miles an hour on is cape as well as along the coastal regions of the south shore and cape ann. wind gusts in excess of 35 miles an hour in boston. that could lead to the potential for some power outages in this

excess of 45 miles an hour at times. then you pile up that water. tides are astronomically high. we're watching that 11:00 a.m. high tide for maybe some minor coastal flooding. and then as we head towards tuesday, watching our next system. remember i said it's a one-two punch. here we go. our first system exists out of here. here comes that second one developing another coastal low. the same with this one. it will be weaker. its track goes farther off shore. what it will do is probably throw some snow at the coastline as well as the south coast. it is weaker though and we're also talking about just light snow from this maybe tuesday afternoon into early wednesday. then on thursday, we turn breezy. we could see a couple of flurries out there as an arctic front passes through. by next weekend temperatures drop into the 20's and overnight lows in the teens. antoinette and doug. doug: yep, still winter. danielle, thank you. when you think of a student council president, the first

outgoing. antoinette: but this week's "a plus" got the job even though she was shy and felt out of place after a traumatic experience as a child. meet abby schofield of foxborough high school. antoinette: at the podium giving a speech, abby schofield exudes poise and confidence; but the foxborough high school senior says she was actually pretty shy before joining student council. abby: it's been how i found my friends in high school. antoinette: still a little soft spoken, abby found her calling in student government. class treasurer for all four years and now president. teacher: when you draw out your forces-- antoinette: high school wasn't the easiest transition though after a serious boating crash when she was a child. abby: i was in the hospital for four weeks, and then i went to rehab for another three weeks. antoinette: it's not an easy thing to talk about, but abby knows overcoming her injuries

she is-- a leader to her peers. leah cardullo: she makes our lives easier and somehow always manages to seem completely under control even when there's a whole lot of stress and activities happening all at once. holly geffers: she is willing to do the extra work that needs to be done not just simply so that she can get a good grade but so that she can learn. antoinette: juggling her presidency while taking a.p. classes and maintaining a 3.9 g.p.a. just a few reasons abby schofield deserves this a plus. abby has already gotten into her dream school-- b.u. she plans to double major in religion and classical studies and wants to be a museum curator. know an exceptional student worthy of an a-plus? submit a nomination right now at wcvb.com. just click as seen on. abby says going to foxborough high school sports are a big deal. it wasn't something she could necessarily do. it was great to find her place in student council.

it's lucky, you know, a lot of kids have a tough time finding their place and they're a little adrift. she's got it and she's on her way. antoinette: find your way, no matter what, sea says. final faceoff ahead of tuesday's first-in-the-nation primary. doug: the gloves come off in the last g.o.p. debate the biggest hits, coming up. nicole killion joins i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine, i talked to my doctor and

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. there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. but i believe we need to lift our vision

v and look to the american horizon. to a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. t an america where after a lifetime of labor, t there is time for rest and grandchildren. r a nation that defends our people and our values, r but no longer carries so much of that burden alone. v i know we can create that america p if we listen to our conscience and our hearts r and not to the pundits and the naysayers. i'm bernie sanders. i approve this message,

antoinette: commitment 2016. the final faceoff between the republican candidates before tuesday's primary did not disappoint. doug: newscenter 5's nikole killion is live in manchester with some of the most talked about moments. there were plenty of them. reporter: absolutely, doug and antoinette. of course, candidates back on the campaign trail this morning after taking their gloves completely off. in the last debate on abc news before the new hampshire primary, there were tons of fireworks but perhaps the most explosive exchange came from marco rubio and chris christie. >> that's what washington d.c. does. the dry-by at the beginning with incorrect and incomplete information and then the memorized 25-second speech that is exactly what. >> chris, your state got hit by a massive snowstorm two weeks ago. you didn't even want to go back. here's the bottom line. this notion that barak obama doesn't know what eats doing just isn't true. >> there it is. the memorized 25-second speech.

went on for some time. as for the issues they were wide ranging from the president's health care law and immigration to isis. and the latest threats from north korea. in manchester, new hampshire, i'm nikole killion. wcvb, newscenter 5. doug: you can tell we're nearing the end. we want to know if you've seen this face monson police issue an arrest warrant for punxsutawney phil. antoinette: monson's most wanted. have you seen him? they say they were punked by "punxsutawney phil" and they issued this warrant for the the rodent predicted an early spring this year. that, of course, does not seem to be the case. finger. don't listen to that rodent. doug: i think when you were a kid, you must have gotten bit by one of those. you really hate them like nothing i've ever seen before. danielle: i really don't like him.

i have experience as a meteorologist and a scientist. he is a rodent. he is totally wrong on this one too because we have a winter storm watch, folks, in effect beginning tomorrow. this is serious. from monday morning until tuesday morning, it does now include boston, worcester, the north shore and metro west. when all is said and done from this, we'll wrap up tuesday morning 2-4 inches out of 495. you get inside of that. 4-7 inches look likely. then you see that bull's eye of seven-plus inches. frank: you're not rooting for the ground hog? danielle: no. doug: the heavy stuff.
