[ laughter ] the embarrassing thing about that dog gnat knockthat knocked me over actually, it was a small dog. >> what does that say about you? >> technically, meteorologists consider this to be the first day of spring. in actuality, the weather is not cooperating today. look at the map. we have a snowstorm marching out of the south and up into the deeply, deeply snow-weary northeast. >> and in the southwest, a separate system is bringing heavy rains and possible flooding. florida not being spared either. we want you to look at the

floods there. after nearly a foot of rain. the big story this morning? thousands of flights canceled and delayed by snow and ice. it's forcing some, look at this, to stake drastic measures and sleep at dallas-ft. worth airport overnight. that's where we find gloria riviera this morning. good morning, gloria. >> reporter: good morning, paula. that's right. over the weekend, 5,000 people forced to sleep -- try anyway -- here at dallas-ft. worth. this morning, many of them now back here trying to get out to get on a plane. one man told me his flight canceled last night. he's now confirmed on another one. it doesn't leave until tuesday. this morning, working the backlog is the new nightmare. overnight, thousands of travelers trapped again. >> i -- it's just mind-boggling. >> reporter: winter weather causing nearly 3,000 flight delays across the country. here in dallas, more than 1,000 cancellations. leaving some here for their second day of torment.

apology to those on board, writing -- we wish we could have done even more to overcome the severe conditions we all faced. we remain committed to operating safely and reliably. for good measure, adding in 25,000 bonus miles. one traveler told me that the airline called him last night. they said we've got you on plane that leafs at 6:30 in the morning. when he got to the airport, the lines at check-in were so long, he missed it. the weather is supposed to improve. a bit of good news. dan? paula? >> thank you. maybe getting better where you are. the nasty weather is heading up into the northeast. yet again, new england is in the cross harris. look at this. the collapsed roof of a skating rink. across the country today, tens of millions of people will be affected by lots of storms. rob is tracking it from atlanta. they've had a truly incredible week of weather. good morning to you. >> good morning, dan. this week, the past couple of weeks, have been very active across atlanta, northern georgia.

ohio. now jersey, philadelphia, you'll probably see some icing later on today. southeastern parts of boston. here comes the snow. we have already seen 6 inches of it in st. louis. we'll see from 4 to 8 inches in some spots. as it continues to push across the north and east. good news is tomorrow across much of the area things should creep a little bit above the freezing mark. but, it's march 1st, guys. we're still in the throngs of winter. back to you. >> spring can't come soon enough. rob, great to see you in atlanta this morning. we'll check in with you a little bit later. next to the international manhunt for the world's most wanted terrorist. the big question, are we any bigger to bringing jihadi john, the masked executioner to justice justice? our chief investigative correspondent brian ross is in london with the very latest on the manhunt. brian? >> reporter: well, good morning, paula. now that the name of mohammad

emwazi has been made public, the search has intensified. authorities tried to keep his name secret in hopes that he might give away his location by contacting family or friends in london. that never happened. authorities say he practiced incredibly good operational security, no indication of him using phones. almost as if he has scrubbed his name from social media sites. as best it's known now, he's somewhere in syria and he's still alive. >> you're learning more about mohammad emwazi's days in schools, childhood, reported obsession with violent video games. >> reporter: that's right. at the age of 11, teachers at his school already detected what they called a violent streak. so much so they put him in anger management therapy. he told his teachers he liked violent video games including one called duke nukem, a time to kill. by the time he was in his late teens, he had joined a group of young men, called the london boys, the north london boys, who

were extremist, islamist, and some of them preceded him in going off to fight in terror groups in syria and somalia. he joined up two years later at the age of 23, 24. he went off to syria and became part of isis, carrying out, presiding over these brutal executions of three americans and at least four others. today, he's very much a wanted man. one of the most reviled and perhaps the most wanted man in the world, paula. >> the pieces beginning to assemble. so many wondering how much longer he can hide since all of the executions have been in the open. brian ross in london for us this morning, thank you, brian. >> one of the most wanted men in the world. and abc's martha raddatz is just back from the syrian border not far from where jihadi john is supposedly hiding. she joins us from istanbul, turkey. what are the odds of finding this guy? >> reporter: well, the real problem, dan, is we don't really have any intelligence assets on

the ground in syria. nothing. we have the drones. we have the reconnaissance aircraft. we have surveillance. as brian said, jihadi john practices operational security. he doesn't use a cell phone. he doesn't use a satellite phone. unless you get somebody infiltrating, it will be hard to find him. on the other hand officials i have talked to say, eventually, we'll find him. i don't know how. they seem somewhat optimistic that eventually they'll find him. >> let me ask a bigger picture question. you have just been to the syrian border. near the town of kobani. where a major battle was fought with isis. what did you conclude about how difficult it will be to take this group on and perhaps take them down militarily? >> reporter: it's quite stunning. you look over the border and you can see kobani. there's so much destruction. you think, they took it back from isis. yet it's a small town.

the u.s.-led coalition carried out 750 air strikes on that town. and plus in the process, they displaced the entire town. we were in refugee camps. we saw almost the entire population of kobani living there in refugee camps. they won't be going back for a very, very long time, if at all. you think about trying to take back a town like mosul, about 33 times as large, that is a very, very tough fight. >> mosul, the second largest city in iraq. it is not going to be clean or easy. martha, thank you. martha has an exclusive interview with john kerry coming up. "this week." you can tweet her questions @martharaddatz. >> her name a lot easier to spell than george stephanopoulos, if you wanted to tweet. >> fact. ron is here with all of the other stories we've been tracking. >> good morning, paula. good morning, dan. miss haines. good morning, everyone.
