here's what happens when you combine a broken water main in scranton, pennsylvania, and brutally cold air. it's an instant ice sculpture. coating power lines and homes. they finally have gotten it mess. we'll see more scenes like this over the next 48 hours. here's what's happening, again, as we mentioned. the polar vortex is always over the north pole, but it's now shifting over the northern atlantic. it releases the arctic air into the eastern u.s. and spills across the canadian border as the jet stream dips into the east coast. right now, we've got, by friday, this morning, it feels like 4. new york city, 14 currently. in cleveland, it feels like 10. out in minneapolis, 8 below. then the cold air really starts to sink in. 5:00 a.m. saturday, washington is 18. 7 in cleveland. 2 in indianapolis.

become a big factor. cleveland, also beckley, new york city, feels like below zero. saturday afternoon, it's even colder. we bottom out sunday morning. look at these temperatures. we'll see records in boston, new york, washington and roanoke. chicago, you're going to be cold, as well. tibbles. i hope you have the cold weather gear ready because it's going to be brutal, my friend. >> al, it's a >> al, it's a balmy 20 degrees here right now. overnight as you mentioned, the mercury is just going to drop. the bottom is going to come out of the floor. there's going to be a wind chill advisory starting tonight, lasting until tomorrow morning. the temperatures are going to be about zero here in chicago. who knows what they're going to be further out midwest, where the winds really blow. they're calling for the wind chill in the minus 10 to minus 15 area. people are being urged to check

take a tip from me and dress in layers. i'm missing a couple layers this morning. pay closer attention to pets. should they go outside? feed them more because they use more energy. most important thing, these things don't work well in the cold, either. if it gets down to minus 40, which we all pray it doesn't, they don't work at all. make your call to the travel agent before it gets that cold. >> if you're thinking of traveling, don't head to florida. it'll be chilly. head out west. go west, young man or woman. spring-like warm temperatures will feel like they're in the april or may range. san francisco, phoenix, pueblo and seattle. that's where we need to go. >> we'll have you back inside in a couple minutes. it was a chill between bernie sanders and hillary

democratic debate. their first since sanders won in new hampshire. clinton turning to new lines of attack to try to slow his momentum. let's begin our campaign coverage with andrea mitchell. good morning. >> hillary clinton trying to regain her footing after her big loss in new hampshire. accused bernie sanders of being a one-issue candidate, and of disloyalty to president obama, which was hugely popular with minority voters in nevada and south carolina, the next state to vote. >> reporter: clinton tried to put sanders on the defensive. >> the kind of criticism that we've heard from senator sanders about our president i expect from republicans, i do not expect from someone running for the democratic nomination to succeed president obama. >> that is, madame secretary, a low blow.

on obama's record in dealing with congress. >> you don't think president obama successfully closed the gap? >> i don't. >> reporter: it was clinton's first chance since new hampshire to regain the trust of women voters. >> i've spent my entire adult life working towards making sure women are empowered to make their own choice, even if the choice is not to vote for me. >> reporter: sanders sees his candidacy as historic. >> somebody with my background, somebody with my views, i think a sanders victory would be a historical accomplishment, as well. >> reporter: they hammered each other on immigration, the economy, health care. >> i have fought my entire life to make sure health care is a right for all people. we're not going to dismantle anything. >> the numbers don't add up. i believe i can get the money that i need by taxing the wealthy, by closing loopholes, things we're way overdo for doing, and i think once i'm in the white house, we will have enough political capital to be able to do that. >> secretary clinton, you're not in the white house yet.

>> journalists ask who you listen to on foreign policy. we have yet to know who that is. >> well it a't henry kissinger, that's for sure. >> that's fine. >> reporter: when asked if race relations would be better under his presidency -- >> absolutely. we are going to create millions of jobs for low-income kids. >> reporter: with clinton earning the endorsement of the congressional black caucus pack and a slam of sanders against john lewis. >> i never saw him. i was in the sit-ins, freedom ride, but i met hillary clinton. i met president clinton. >> reporter: sanders releasing an endorsement video from the young daughter of eric garner. who died after new york police put him in a chokehold. >> that's why i'm for bernie. >> clinton is digging in for a fight as sanders continues to out raise her by a big margin since his new hampshire victory. >> andrea mitchell, thanks.

political analyst nicolle wallace and political good morning. >> good morning. >> let's take it piece by piece. if you watch the debate, you see there are certain voter groups and issues that keep cropping up. let's start with this battle, and it is an all-out battle for the african-american vote. steve, we saw hillary clinton really usher in this strategy that she's been trying out, which is to wrap her arms around president obama and his legacy. not only that, say that bernie sanders didn't do so sufficiently. >> that's the interesting thing. president obama is still extremely popular with african-american voters. more than 50% of the electorate in south carolina. all of the areas where bernie sanders would try to come after hillary clinton, so many of them, the criticism he levelled against her could also be applied to president obama. she pointed that out time and again. basically put him on the defensive.

criticizing hillary clinton but it's not meant as a criticism of president obama. it's tough to accomplish. >> who do you think did better in terms of attracting minority voters? >> i think what was more interesting on that front didn't happen on the stage. john lewis is an american icon, not just in the african-american community. i thought it was one of the harsher criticisms of bernie sanders absenteeism on the movement i've heard so far. >> his response to a question. he didn't just say that. >> correct. >> we know hillary clinton has a problem with women voters. we saw it in new hampshire. tough week with gloria steinem and madeleine albright saying things that didn't help. how did she go? >> someone just beat you for over 20 points. i've been there. she held her own last night and had one of her strongest performances. for her to do better among women, she has to do better, period. she did better. some of the things that have

>> she said, don't vote for me because i'm a woman. she said it before. the fact i'm a woman is one of my qualities. didn't bernie sanders have an interesting reply. >> he was asked, are you blocking history? he didn't come out and say it, but we've never had a jewish president. when he won new hampshire, that's the first time a jewish candidate ever won a primary. for that matter, we haven't had too many people who call themselves socialists, either. >> the last topic, wall street. she said she wouldn't be influenced by the big banks. he said, let's not think of the voters as dumb. >> front page of the wall street journal has a story about how gushy her talks were. she's not going to get away with not releasing more information. >> when she was speaking in the paid speeches for the banks. >> she made hundreds of thousands of dollars speaking to the banks. this issue is not going away. he has a distinct advantage over

>> she said president obama took some of the money from wall street and nobody said he didn't stand up to the banks. >> again, that comeback from sanders, why did they give the money then, that's easy to understand. >> nico lle, steve, thank you very much. the next republican debate is in south carolina tomorrow night. most of the candidates are already in the palmetto state. last night, donald trump took his message to louisiana. nbc national correspondent peter alexander is following the gop. good morning to you. >> matt, good morning. south carolina, of course, famous for its rough and tumble politics. donald trump's opponents are hitting him for his use of vulgarity. trump with the opportunity to swear last night. he says, in fact, he's swearing off foul language. as the candidates get ready to square off for the next debate tomorrow night. >> reporter: the billionaire barrelling into baton rouge. >> unbelievable. look at this crowd. >> reporter: donald trump earlier taking aim

tricks, charging cruz's allies with spreading misinformation in south carolina with push polls. we are watching, trump tweeted. cruz denying any involvement. >> i have read reports of what is being said, but somebody else is doing them, not us. >> reporter: cruz is fighting on two fronts. targeting trump and marco rubio with his ad accusing rubio of broken promises. spoofing a support group. >> making me feel dumb for trusting them. >> vote for more than just a pretty face next time. >> reporter: the cruz campaign yanked the ad after finding out that actress was in adult films. telling nbc news, unfortunate fatlily she was not vetted by the casting company. we would not have let her appear in the ad, they said. a familiar face is giving jeb bush a boost. george w. bush will campaign with his brother, appearing here monday night. >> i'm proud of the fact he's coming and honored. >> reporter: john kasich is

positive. >> i don't know what he's thinking. does he realize the family legacy? spending all your time being negative. >> reporter: bush, who described himself as a joyful tortoise, is now campaigning with the joy of the texas chainsaw massacre, rubio is trying to shed his robotic image. loosening up in front of the cameras. according to an opposition aid. days after cracking under pressure on stage, rubio cracked a molar on a frozen candy bar. he said, it's not going to slow him down. >> we're not suspending our campaign. >> last night, you've heard of kissing babies? try signing toddlers. check this out. at donald trump's rally, 11,000 people in attendance, he found a 19-month old in the crowd with a bejewelled binky and the mohawk. signing the back of his hand. not clear if there's a baby wipe for that. matt and savannah, back to you. >> thank you, peter. appreciate that.

crisis overnight. secretary of state john kerry announced big strides toward a potential cease-fire. keir simmons is in syria this morning. good morning. >> matt and savannah, good morning. there are people at damascus this morning who are optimistic and others do not believe there will be an end to the fighting. the hostility is still here. it won't apply to isis or the al qaeda-affiliated group. nusra. leaders say they have agreed to accelerate and expand the delivery of aid to communities under siege in syria, where some people, including children, have been dying of starvation. the secretary of state says he knows the agreement is ambitious, but the humanitarian push is crucial. >> we have agreed to accelerate and expand the delivery of humanitarian aid beginning immediately. sustained delivery will begin this week.

syrian army, backed by russian air strikes, is advancing in the strategically important area of aleppo. a province pushing back rebels and possibly threatening another siege. there are pictures of president assad here. he's still in control here. one question, will he really want to stop the fighting when his forces are on the offensively? matt and savannah, back to you. >> keir simmons, thank you. let's go now to a disturbing scene in ohio. this morning, four people are recovering after a man armed with a machete stormed into a restaurant and started attacking people randomly. nbc's justice correspondent pete williams has the latest on this. what can you tell us? >> matt, good morning. i can tell you that four people were hurt in this brutal attack at a mediterranean restaurant in columbus. the fbi is helping local police. while authorities say they don't yet know the motive, they're looking into whether this was an

>> reporter: frightening moments for diners at a columbus, ohio, restaurant thursday, when a man wielding a machete began randomly attacking customers. >> they've got at least four injured if you can send some more medics. >> copy. >> reporter: police say the man walked into the nazareth restaurant and deli around 5:30, had a conversation with an employee and left, but came back to the restaurant half an hour later. police say he approached a couple sitting at a booth just inside. >> this was a brutal attack. the man walks in to people that are just there having dinner, and starts attacking them. >> some of the patrons started throwing chairs at him, trying to get him out of there. >> reporter: after the attack, the man drove away in a white car, leading police on a chase. >> are you behind him? >> that was the car, following it. >> reporter: police officers forced him off the road a few miles away and tried to subdue him with tasers but he managed to get out of his car with the machete and a knife.

the officers. officers fired a couple shots at him and put him down. >> reporter: regulars at a popular restaurant in a quiet neighborhood are shaken. >> it scared the crap out of me. i just got here. i'm trying to figure out what's going on. my friends work there. >> four people are at the hospital. all are in stable condition and expected to survive. investigators are digging into the attacker's past, trying to figure out why this happened. matt, savannah. >> pete williams, thank you very much. we have mr. roker back and out of his attire. >> we'll explain why that coat is a hot item later. >> exactly right. >> first, let's show you what's going on out there for today. we're looking at heavy rain in the pacific northwest. lake-effect snow continues in the northeast. look at those temperatures in l.a. 86.
