kasich picked up the most votes in the democratic and republican primaries. kasich is hoping for a strong showing in new hampshire before south carolina and nevada go to the polls later this month. but the results from the small communities in new hampshire overnight are not considered an indicator of how the rest of the primary will go. look ahead now, republicans and democrats are holding debates later this week in wisconsin and south carolina. the next state to -- states to hold caucuses and primaries are nevada and south carolina. in florida you have just one week left to register to vote or change your party affiliation for the march 15th presidential primary. republican frontrunner donald trump is expected to take the new hampshire primary but we'll be watching to see if his use of a vulgar term will impact him at the polls. monday night he repeated a slur a woman in the crowd used to describe texas senator ted cruz. >> she said i never expect to hear that from you again.

it's terrible, terrible. >> a representative from cruz' campaign called this "the latest episode in the reality show that donald has made the 2016 campaign." reminded voters that cruz beat trump in iowa. as if the 2016 race isn't wild enough, we're getting word a big name could be entering the race this late in the game. >> former new york city mayor michael bloomberg says he may throw his hat in the ring with less than nine months until election day. he told "the financial times" he's looking at the options and would need to make a decision by march in order to mount a serious bid. he says the political discussion so far has been "an insult to voters" and says they deserve a whole lot better. we'll be here tomorrow to wrap up the new hampshire primaries. of course stay tuned for "good morning, america" for live coverage from new hampshire. coming up at 7:00. time now 6:04. new efforts getting underway in hillsborough county this morning to curb gun violence

30s and 40s here, minus the snow it's certainly something we can do, but if you go further north get ready to bundle up. look at the wind chills at this hour. single digits. that's when the things really get serious across the northeast. gwen they are going to get a little more snow, just not as strong as the last storm here. back in our neck of the woods, pretty quiet, if you have not been outside. then we can talk about this storm that exits the northeast, at this point here on the back side of it what we have is gusty winds. yesterday was calm as far as the winds. we were colder yesterday, a little milder today but it will never feel that way because that secondary front moved through last night and brought us the gusty winds that are howling now. futurecast showing showers potentially coming in off the gulf as the winds pick up a little bit of moisture there. this is not going to amount to much. 20% coverage, that would be about it. the story remains today the winds. 30 to 35 mile-per-hour gusts. lake wind advisory and of

feel the winds there too. you want to use both hands on the wheel. in fact one of our viewers tweeted me and says he can actually feel the wind more on the bridge bottom of the sunshine skyway rather than the very top. so be careful driving all across the bridges today. here's what it looks like at i- 275 and ashley. we are expecting to see a less congesttion on i-275 northbound from howard frankland to downtown. that is because overnights crews opened two more lanes around himes heading northbound so hopefully drivers that drive this stretch of 275 will see relief. here are the drive times in that area. down at the bottom it should take about six minutes. we were seeing drive times the past few weeks around 15 minutes so hopefully we will see it closer to this range here. dan? as you check your social media feeds. you will probably notice this
