@ @ republicans have said @absolutely they are not going @to give any obama nominee a @hearing, but the committee that @would do that questioning, we @have now learned the led of @that committee is going to be @sitting down with president @obama to talk about it. @now the white house and the

@grassley, the republican head @of the judiciary committee that @holds supreme court @confirmation hearings will meet @with president obama next week. @nbc news has confirmed the @white house is betting a @republican -v is vetting a @republican, brian sandoval to @replace justice scalia. @>> i think it will be very @difficult for mr. mccolonel to @explain how, if the public @concludes the person is very @well qualified, that the senate @should stand in the way simply @for political reasons. @>> this is a way for democrats @in the white house to extract @maximum pain on republicans. @>> reporter: democrats have a @petition. @1.3million people who say the @senate should not block the @president's nominee. @>> it is wrong. @the american people, i really @believe, won't stand for this. @the senate needs to do its job. @>> reporter: republican leaders @insist they won't even consider @an obama appointee during an

@ and we still don't know how @long it might be or how soon it @might be before the president @names someone. @>> and before we go, you are @hearing republicans are using @vice president joe biden's own @words as leverage? @>> reporter: yeah so 24 years @ago vibe biden was the head of @the judiciary committee and @presided over a number of @hearings for supreme court @justices. @and back then when there was @not an opening he was making an @argument for reforming the @process and said the same thing @we are hearing republicans say @now, that you should not be @holding these hearings during @an election year and @republicans are waving fingers @saying see? @vice president biden when he @was in charge of this committee @said the same thing. @on the flip side you have @republican strom thurmond, the @top republican on that @committee at that point now @making the same argument then @that the democrats are making @now that we should go ahead @with these type of hearings @during an election year. @so both sides sort of trying to

@what they would like to do this @year. @>> i'm glad we have you @following all this for us @tracy. @thank you very much. @ we have snow coming and @holly and greg both here. @>> rain yesterday, snow today. @>> a little bit of everything. @watching the radar, it is @really starting to pick up and @we may be seeing a little bit @of wind off the lakes. @right now as we are talking the @roads. @>> reporter: we'd love to hear @from you. @it is great to have you know, @your report. @at the bus stop. @so far we are going to school. @temperatures are in the 30s. @and we've got our snow shovels @ready. @greg and i believe you will be @shoveling out by later today. @we are planning on accumulation @with this heavy, wet snow that @will be impacting our day. @5:14 right now. @if you are just getting the @lunches packed, here's the @deal. @we have winter weather

@in general a 2 to 4-inch snow. @if that happens you out a @little bit. @i know some you are excited @about the snow. @others are please get out of @here. @the weekend will do just that. @32 degrees and steady through i @think midday, and then we'll @fall back into the upper 20s @this evening. @snowy and blustery, pretty much @is the case. @still a bit of a transition @happening this morning as greg @mentioned you know, we are @seeing a lot of change over to @flow. @even in spots that are showing @something rain mixing in. @so it is a wet snow i think. @is the best way to look at @this. @west side of cleveland is where @we are seeing more of a @moderate snow at this point. @we head further east and you @can see the snow showers are @moderate in intensity. @we have the winter weather @advisory that continues through @7:00 for cleveland, lake @counties. @as we track through the day, @this is 9:30 this morning. @so as the commute continues, so

@and i think more of the @problems are going to happen @probably from say 6:00 a.m. @through midmorning, as the snow @is moderate to each heavy at @times and lake enhanced, @getting into the afternoon. @greg, this brings us to 2:30 @this afternoon. @look at the band showing up. @>> yeah that band could be @heavy in some spots local any @morning, especially off the @lake, which may be starting to @happen as an area of low @pressure pulls away. @look at the close radar, the @bands filling in across @cuyahoga county and 271 on the @east side, part of the larger @flow off the west basin of the @lake. @so in terms of snowfall, @generally 1 to 3 inches outside @of cleveland, but watch that @little dark blue area, @cuyahoga, over toward lake @county, places like @strongsville, willoughby, @burton, and the east side of @cleveland, cleveland heights, @mayfield heights, you are going

@higher elevations, generally @looking at 2 to 4 inches, @though with this being a lake- @effect, you could see isolated @spots come up with maybe 5, @maybe even close to 6, @depending on how long that @fetch off the lake lasts. @this isn't a long amount of @snow in terms of time. @we will see dry weather holly @as we head into the day @tomorrow. @>> yes it does look like an @improvement. @we have your forecast right @here, as greg mentioned 2 to 4 @inches for most and that @includes the area under the @advisory as steve was talking @about our primary know belt @region temperatures in the 30s @today and falling to the upper @20s toward evening. @blustery. @as we see any kind of snow @tomorrow, it would be early in @the day and really scattered. @i think otherwise, sunshine and @just a chilly friday. @then a much warmer weekend on @your window nation 7-day. @low 40s, breezy for saturday, @mild with around 50 degrees on

@scattered, wet and even snowy @weatherly next week. @5:17 right now. @ good morning to you. @thank you for allowing us to @start your day. @we started this traffic report @in streetsboro, because this is @the biggest traffic alert we @have in our region at 5:18. @state route 303 closed at the @bypass because of flooding. @for those of you in this area, @you are familiar with this, it @typically closes every time we @have heavy rain, but you can @get around this by using the @303 bypass. @only will add a few minutes to @your commute. @no accidents right now, but @remember we have the snow @coming in, and when we see the @snow during the morning rush, @we typically have more @accidents. @so i'll be keeping my eyes on @this for you. @back to you. @ republican presidential @hope feels are set to face off @in houston tonight for their @tenth debate. @coming off his win in nevada

@to build on his momentum as @super tuesday approaches. @senators marco rubio and ted @cruz are locked in a race for @second. @joining them will be john @kasich and dr. ben carson. @ more than 2200 flights @across the great lakes and @northeast have been canceled. @the biggest headache has been @at chicago's o'hare airport, @where almost 1000 flights have @been canceled due to the snow. @and flights have been canceled @today that were supposed to @leave from cleveland hopkins. @check the status of your @flights throughout the day, @call the airlines. @ the u.s. department of @labor set to release their @weekly jobless claims later @this morning. @last week's report saw the @number of weekly applications @for unemployment assistance @fall 7000 to a seasonally @adjusted 273,000. @this marked the lowest number @of people seeking jobless @benefits since november.

@that the job market is getting @healthier. @ more internet service will @remain tax free permanently, @effect today. @president obama just signed a @new piece of legislation that @makes it illegal for companies @to collect tax on internet @services and dsl access. @the legislation does not @resolve the hotly contested @purchases. @last summer they started @collecting from amazon and @other epurchases. @>> stores were happy for that @because they could compete. @ 5:20 right now. @still ahead a cleveland group @not only offer jobs but help @workers become homeowners. @find out how about -- find out @about a 5 year program that is @transforming lives one day of

@ @ the homeownership rate in @america sits at the lowest @level in half a century. @>> but one company here in @cleveland is taking action, @building its work force and @community through an innovative @program that turns employees @diana reports. @>> reporter: it was a dream to @own your own home. @>> reporter: a dream and a @prayer that weekend unanswered @for granted parents tim and @charla coleman for half a @until now. @>> i was out of work for about @a year, looking for a job. @>> reporter: tim found one at a @unique cleveland cooperative. @founded in 2009, ever green is @a worker-owned and operated @business that runs a commercial

@the business also helps the @employee owners become @homeowners. @>> as we are hiring from these @cleveland neighborhoods, @oftentimes, you know, one of @the barriers to employment is @stable housing. @>> reporter: so with some help @from the county on taxes and @the local housing authority, @which had homes available @through an existing program, @evergreen offered employees a 5- @year plan to homeownership. @>> after financial training and @qualifications, our eligible @employees are able to purchase @a home that they then pay for @via payroll deduction. @>> reporter: from charla's pay @at the grown house and tim's at @the laundry. @>> that is in your neighborhood @where you came from. @>> reporter: together they are @paying for and living in this @house, right in the @neighborhood where they work. @>> one thing i like about it,

@before you even see it. @>> reporter: cleveland is @ranked the most affordable @urban housing market in @america. @homes here are very cheap and @there are thousands after @bandoned properties leftover @from the foreclosure crisis. @that is why this program works @so well here. @the question is, would it work @as well in a priceier city? @>> reporter: but for now, at @least it is working for the @coal man's, who have always @loved their community and now, @finally, have a real stake in @it. @a home all their own. @>> and the story is getting @national attention, just @another great thing for @cleveland. @ the other thing that is @going to get a lot of attention @around here is our weather. @it is the snow, holly? @>> reporter: john and lena, it @is all about preparing. @snows are picking up as we @speak across northeast ohio. @we are seeing more and more. @many of you tweeting us, @facebooking us saying roads are @so far so good in my @neighborhood. @keep them coming in, because we @will keep you updated with

@you are our eyes, we love that. @temperatures are going to hover @in the low 30 range, i think @through this morning and @midday, before we start to see @a drop in the upper 20s on the @travel map. @we have made transition and @from all that rain yesterday @over an inch to report at @hopkins, guys. @we are expecting accumulation. @we'll let you know exactly how @much and when this is all going @to come to an end, coming up. @ still ahead at 5:30, @governor john kasich barely @holding on. @coming up. @>> reporter: had his take on @whether he should drop out of @the presidential race. @ and former brown, reggie @rutger was from court. @the turn this case took when

@>> we were talking about that @lovely weather. @>> perfect. @>> better by the weekend. @we should mention we have a few @delays coming in. @ these are mainly west. @because the snow there was @falling earlier. @>> do keep in mind, i think we @might see a combination of @delays and closings this @morning the way this is all @going down. @greg is going to look at @specifics with totals and @things, we are tweaking kind of @as we go. @you all know how a snow @forecast works. @winter weather advisories in @place and snowy travel is @expected throughout the day. @a general 2 to 4 inches for @most of you, but greg is going @to expand on that in just a @moment. @we'll hover in the low 30s @through midday and drop into @the upper 20s for this evening. @snow this morning, this @afternoon and into your evening @commute. @and you can see that the @intensity has picked up if @several locations, areas west @where we are seeing school

@snow has been heavy from @sandusky into lorraine county @and persistent now for the past @couple of hours. @as we get into cuyahoga county, @it is much more scattered. @but we are seeing it west ask @east suburbs at this point and @pretty light. @the thing is, it is going to @continue through the day, and @the plan is with these winter @weather advisories going @through 7:00 tonight with the @snow becoming lake enhanced, @the potential for what could be @heavier amounts. @>> reporter: especially the @banding off the east side here, @coming off the lake. @look at the current radar. @may be seeing some banding @setting up here in cuyahoga @county. @the higher elevations too, @where the temperatures are a @little bit cool. @that is a big factor with the @storm system today. @the wider band shows additional @heavier amounts coming in this @morning. @that is part of the banding @coming in off the lake. @here is the general snowfall @around the region. @i think overall, we are in that

@places like mansfield, @worcester, nor walk, even @toward even downtown in the @west side of cleveland. @but you get closer in on the @primary snowbelt and you see @these are elevations the model @is picking up here. @that is where you are going to @see the 3 to 6-inch amounts, @places like burton and the 271 @corridor euclid and beachwood @toward 480 and even the @southern portions of cuyahoga @county toward independence you @could see lightly higher @amounts. @snow all day today, 2 to 4 @inches with the primary @snowbelt east especially, @seeing maybe some amounts @approaching 4, 5 or 6 inches. @and holly, this is going to be @another heavy, very wet snow @too. @>> similar to the one we had @not too long ago. @that is going to mean you just @taking extra patience and time @as you are commuting through @the day today.

@might want to reschedule or @make sure you are allowing for @extra time getting the kids in @school and things like that @too. @30s is what we are seeing for @highs, we are hovering in the @low 30 range here through a lot @of this morning and afternoon, @before we see it drop. @temperatures will fall, snow @will continue. @tomorrow will be colder but @generally quieter. @maybe a few left over lake- @effect snow showers but not a @big deal. @we are in the upper 20s. @and then the warmer weekend. @look at that. @saturday 43, breezy. @50s on sunday. @looks like a really nice trend, @and it will be very well- @deserved after the busy middle @of the week forecast. @ you have to look at your tv @right now. @because joey is taking over. @how cute is joey? @he just turned one, and he @loves to play out in the snow. @you see the snowflakes all over @him there? @he chases the squirrels and the @birds. @sean and april from cuyahoga @falls sent this picture in.

@afternoon into tonight. @we have live team coverage, @guys. @ he was bundled up. @here he is. @>> this is nice. @>> reporter: this is not just @an electric blanket or heated @blanket. @first of all it is soft, it is @luscious, it is an energy @saver. @i just turned it on 10 seconds @ago. @we'll see what happens at the @end of the segment. @>> oh i feel it. @>> it is good though. @>> it is not to the edges yet. @>> reporter: you just wait. @so many of us are reaching for @our thermostat on days like @today for two reasons. @you are not warm enough on the @couch or you are not warm @enough in bed. @so you crank up the thermostat @another degree or two and you @are overheating all of these @unoccupied rooms in your home. @the key? @this pre sheet bed warmer. @take a look. @oh they are touching it.

@economically and efficiently @will warm all of your sheets @before bedtime. @highest safety rating, 10 @temperature controls. @top rated, and look at the user @reviews on your screen. @no one is ever happy but this @is pretty darn close. @51% off, 44 bucks down from @$90. @i tested 15 different blankets @and this one from sun beam was @my favorite pick. @do you start to feel the warmth @here? @>> yeah i do and i want to pet @it. @>> reporter: so many heated @blankets are not soft, they are @rigid. @and all of cheap ones are @complete fire hazards. @so it was really difficult to @find one that looked good that @felt good that heated well and @that preheat feature. @oh my goodness. @>> i do worry about spilling my @hot chocolate on the blanket. @>> you drink hot chocolate in @bed? @>> what if you are on the @couch? @>> actually i have a throw that @is the color of hot chocolate.

@yesterday, very bright. @>> younger, cheaper. @>> maybe not. @ good morning. @>> great school district. @>> so far you are not delayed @or closed. @but we do have some delays @coming in west. @a lot out of huron and erie @county. @so pay close attention. @temperatures in the 30s with @snowy weather expected through @the day. @2 to 4 inches for most of you. @greg and i have coverage as far @as when this is all going to @wind down, and we will track

@ @ crews are on the roads and @the snow starts mixing in with @the rain and we are going to @see accumulations today. @>> it is all going to make for @a tricky morning, afternoon and @evening commute. @as you get ready to head out @the door, we've got you @covered. @>> first let's start with @holly, who has been tracking @not only when it is coming, and @how much we are going to get. @>> it is true.
