the bigger picture has cold air wrapping in and des moines is ten degrees right now. so cold air meaning rain mixed with snow and in some cases just snow at the on-set of the system around dawn. and that storm system edging its way through and a new storm works its way up. cold and cloudy and 42 tomorrow and about an inch of snow to the west and more rain to the east and tomorrow night we change to rain and windy and raw conditions as we get into the warmer side of the storm. a mix with storm one through the day tomorrow and clearing to the friday. a little windy on thursday and calm friday before we get new

one in. maybe more snow, too early to call. and windy conditions on sunday and clearing out for the football game late in the day on sunday. tomorrow, the concern is at the first few hours of mid-morning, especially baltimore and dc area. >> and it seems like the temperatures are too high to give us too much snow. >> right on the edge. >> thanks. you may have received a gift that is you are not crazy about. maybe it is good gift for someone else? here are the rules for re-gifting. >> reporter: the hottest trend is re-gifting. it can be fine as long as you know the rules. re-gifting is hot and now

there is a national re-grifting day. but daily finance says you need to be careful and don't want to get caught re-gifted. it was a term used in seinfeld. the item must unopened and double check for names. wrap it in fresh paper so that it looks as though you bought it. and avoiding what daily finance cause the scenario, when you re-gift to the person who gave it to you. give it to someone on the other side or someone who doesn't know

tonight on "nightline," christmas twisters. tornados touch down across the deep south. >> oh, jesus, look at that tornado. >> knocking out power in alabama, leaving behind a path of destruction. unicorns of the sea. we ventured deep into the arctic circle in search of the mysterious narwal, one of the world's most elusive endangered creatures. the frozen planet literally

splits open before our eyes. our team faces a desperate scramble to make it off the ice. from the global resources of abc news with terry moran, cynthia mcfadden, bill weir, and tonight, juju chang in new york city, this is "nightline," december 25th, 2012. good evening. i'm juju chang. tonight, a massive christmas day storm is creating blizzard conditions across the nation's midsection. in texas and oklahoma, icy roads cause major pile-ups and deadly traffic mishaps. the storm system also spawned a cluster of tornados throughout the deep south, causing extensionive damage. thousands of residents lost power in mobile, alabama. the facade was torn off a historic church was 24 hours earlier hosted christmas eve services for hundreds of worshippers. but we turn now to the journey of a lifetime, on a quest in search of an elusive creature known as the unicorn of

the sea. it's the narwal, both rare and endangered. what we discovered was a landscape vast and beautiful, and sometimes deadly and one that's changing rapidly. so now an encore presentation of nbc's lindsay davis and producer alex waterfield's journey to the far north, and just getting there was an adventure of its own. >> reporter: it's the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere in one of the most inhospitable places in the world. aside from my guides, i'm all alone. the wind is punishing and the only thing my iphone is good for is taking video. now we're into our third hour . i can't see much through the fog. my three guides are nice, but they're not exactly inspiring confidence right now.

what happened? >> it broke. >> reporter: it's broken. we're now down to one snowmobile, we just left our backup behind on the ice, and if that wasn't bad enough -- are we lost? i think he's joking, but this does not bode well. we're deep inside the arctic circle on baffin island. it's bigger than california, but with only 11,000 inhabitants, it's not the kind of place you can stop to ask for directions. but this is the price of admission for a shot at seeing one of the most elusive creatures on the planet, the narwal, the so called unicorn of the ocean, with that single tusk that can be up to ten feet long. it's the stuff of fantasy, and i for one need to see it to believe it. and sooner rather than later. the narwal is said to be the most vulnerable species in the arctic to climate change, and here the stark reminders of global warming are all around us, like these big cracks in the

ice, cracks that shouldn't be this wide this early in the summer. my mom would not be happy about this. the arctic sea ice is literally disappearing beneath our feet. on track to be faster this year than any other on record. the effects of the rising temperatures up here are dramatic. just a few hundred miles away from us, these tourists had a narrow escape when an ice wave caused by a fallen glacier almost capsized their boat. despite all the obstacles and dangers this far north, we press on, and suddenly i notice some orange domes on the horizon. it's our campsite. we made it. welcome to the edge of the world, right? >> right. so this is our arctic base camp. >> reporter: i'm greeted by tom lenart. the only tour operator that offers land-based trips this far

north. lesson number one for new arrivals, know what's beneath your feet. >> we're sitting on about four feet of sea ice with about a thousand feet of water below us. it appears like it's firm, but it is actually going up and down with the tides as well. >> how do you know that it's safe? i mean i can -- >> you can jump. >> reporter: and i'm not going to end up in the thousand feet of water? >> no, you won't. >> reporter: the dark hole there, that's the ocean? that's all that's separating us. >> that's it. don't think about it. >> reporter: finally, we head to the edge where the sea ice meets the open water. one of the richest and most diverse ecosystems on the planet. >> i never get sick of it. planet with six billion people and we're one of 20 people watching this. i feel privileged every time we come here. >> reporter: as the ice continues to disappear, so too will this fragile ecosystem, taking the narwal with it. >> it's cold.

got the rain coming down. it's sleet. but we're going to see some narwals and that makes everything okay. >> reporter: eric coombs is a budding wildlife photographer and he's on a mission. >> if we can get those nalwals shooting up their big long ivory tusks, that's the pinnacle moment of seeing a narwal. >> reporter: but before you see them, you can often hear them, which is why these headphones attached to a nifty underwater microphone come in handy. this sound right here might as well be trumpeters announcing their presence. >> in the open water. >> reporter: and then it happens. the rare moment we've come all this way for. >> in the ice over there. >> reporter: when we come back, a close encounter with these mythical creatures and a close brush with a thousand feet of open sea. as an unexpected crack in the ice threatens to leave us

stranded.

"nightline" continues from new york city with juju chang. >> and now, we rejoin lindsay and the team for a very close encount we are the mysterious narwal. and then, the mortal threat they face on the arctic ice. once again, lindsay davis. >> reporter: through the fog, which seems to make this moment all the more mystical -- >> he's just behind that pack of ice over there. >> reporter: they spot it. an arched back off in the distance. quite a sight for sore eyes. >> i can't believe it. we've actually seen our narwal. so they exist.

they're not imaginary. >> reporter: there's actually one right there. and then another. this one much closer to the edge. before we know it, narwals are everywhere. >> there's so many. there's like six or seven of them. >> reporter: but we were hoping for a slightly closer encounter. so we venture out with our fearless leader into narwal territory. >> so, lindsay, you're kayaking in the arctic. >> reporter: i am kayaking in the arctic. this area is t >> this area is the only place in the world to see the narwal. did you hear that? >> reporter: absolutely, we hear something very close take a a massive gasp of air. >> you see that right there? >> reporter: the fog clears just long enough for us to realize we're surrounded. they're all around us now. and for just a second we spot it. don't blink or you'll miss it. that ivory tusk.

that's very cool. >> that was awesome. what got me hooked on the arctic was they've chosen to come to you. >> reporter: and you're not afraid? >> no. they're not going to hurt you. they're just curious. they're just wondering what are you doing here? this is my backyard. >> reporter: but just as quickly as the narwals appear, they're gone. a reminder of just how vulnerable these creatures are to climate change. but rising temperatures aren't just affecting the narwal. there are four million people living here in the arctic. as our guide showed me, this is not a winter safari destination. it's his home. the sea ice is his highway, his livelihood. it's how he feeds his family. >> i love hunting. >> reporter: that's one of your favorite things to do? >> yeah. >> reporter: hunting for seals. >> yeah. >> reporter: we see for ourselves that hunting seal isn't easy. and with temperatures rising, it's getting harder. the ice is too slushy for most

of the gear for him to use a traditional dog team. the iron dog he now uses isn't exactly stealthy. the seals can hear him coming from miles away, and then escape down their holes into the ocean below. >> oh! >> reporter: oh, i think he's very cute. that is when they can escape. we're on our way back from a day of narwal searching when we saw a pup seal. a word of warning, what you're about to see is graphic. is it sad at all? it seemed like such a cute -- it was a little baby that lost its life. >> it's not a baby, it's just an animal. it's given to us. the creator gave us this meat so we can survive on it. >> reporter: how do you explain it to westerners who say it's cruelty to animals. >> this is not cruelty.

this is how we survived for thousands of years. >> reporter: a way of life that's slowly disappearing. weather and ice patterns are becoming more unpredictable, as we are about to find out in a frightening way firsthand. back at camp just a few hours later, a crisis. suddenly we find ourselves at the mercy of the rapidly melting ice. >> there's a big crack that's opening up between us. it's meltsed faster than it should have. the elders have said that we should pack up and go. >> reporter: a crack in the ice that's growing with every passing minute. if it gets any wider, it might become impassable, leaving our entire group stranded on the sea ice. tom, our team leader, is playing it cool. >> no, i'm not stressed. when i have these guys around, i've got complete confidence. we'll get it done. not worried yet. not yet. >> reporter: but wildlife photographer eric puts the situation in starker terms. >> we're going to have to leave immediately and hopefully we'll

be able to make it back before we float off into the ocean. >> reporter: it's all hands on deck to break down the situation as quickly as possible. a bit of trepidation thus far about the crack. we'll see. the race against mother nature is on, and what i see along the way is ominous. >> there's so much more water now compared to when i first came out here. it was just massive expanses of ice before. and now it's like little islands of ice. we press on. not even a smoking snowmobile is good enough reason to stop. until we arrive at the so called crack, which looks a lot more like a lake, and that blue water, open blue ocean, a thousand feet deep. >> this has all happened in less

than six days. basically it will be five times the size that it was a week ago. >> reporter: suddenly, the sound of roaring engines. our guides attempt to cross the 180-foot crack to try to get us home. from a challenge. this is the age of knowing how to make things happen. so, why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. this is the age of taking action. viagra. talk to your doctor.

and now the race against the melting ice in the arctic continues, and our intrepided a adventurers prepare to make their dash for safety. once again, lindsay davis. >> reporter: the snowmobiles make it across the crack. is it intended to go over water like that? >> it's not intended to, but people do it. with enough speed. >> reporter: we see for ourselves what can happen if you don't have enough speed. a very close call. but what about the rest of us? and the sleds. the guides examine a large chunk of ice floating in the middle of the crack to see if it will work as a bridge. team leader tom is still playing it cool, but even he admits it's an audacious plan. >> i've done big cracks. not as big as this one. but i have full in these guys. this is the arctic, and this is their backyard and they know what they're doing. >> reporter: so not a doubt in your mind everybody's going to make it across?

>> i'll get you home, don't worry. >> reporter: i appreciate that. the laughter quickly dissipates. this is the moment of truth. as the natives test the limits of these sleds and their ability to make it across. the first sled does not farewell. it careens across the crack like a runaway train. no one is acting very concerned. i'm thinking that this is pretty dangerous. just as i start to think about the worst case scenario, it's my turn. you think we're going to be fine? >> yeah. should be fine. >> reporter: should be fine. should be? okay, all right. if you say so. all right. we made it. thank you!

the entire team is briefly dipped in the arctic as it makes its way across with varying degrees of success. >> you okay? >> reporter: but success nonetheless. >> that's everyone. we're across the crack. piece of cake. >> reporter: tragedy averted, at least in the short term. but the long-term outlook is rather bleak. take a look at how much ice there was in the arctic during the summer just few decades back. now fast forward to what's left today. scientists say at the current rates, summer sea ice in the arctic will almost certainly be gone in the next ten to 20 years. we saw firsthand the melting of the ice is cause for real concern. let's not talk about it because i might chicken out. in fact, there was only one occasion where we saw the benefit of a crack in the ice. >> you should do the rocky. >> reporter: and that was to fulfill a long-standing arctic tradition that i just had to try

before going home. i'm glad you're so excited about this. taking the polar bear plunge. this is the stupidest thing i've ever done. and trust me, membership is not for the feint of heart. >> whoo! >> reporter: it was pretty fun. i want to do it again. that was great. as we make our way back to solid land, the fog that's been dogging us all week starts to lift, unveiling a bright blue arctic sky. and though i was too exhausted to enjoy it, i'm told the view was breathtaking. for "nightline," i'm lindsay davis. >> our collective hats off and our thanks to lindsay davis and alex waterfield. tomorrow night, a special

coming to visit. you know, we were -- we were not here last night. we were off last night because of election coverage. in case you hadn't heard, president obama defeated mitt romney last night. we know this for sure despite the fact that the returns from florida still have not been counted. some people had to wait five, six hours to vote there. what goes on in florida? they had four years to fix this and -- four years to fix things before that. [ laughter ] we need to make sure florida never gets the olympics. [ laughter ] [ applause ] the president got 303 electoral votes to romney's 206. obama led among women and minority voters while romney led among white means and banana republic mannequins. romney lost his home state of massachusetts. paul ryan lost his home state of wisconsin. i would not want to be paul ryan's shake weight today. probably getting a vigorous.

a lot of people are wondering what the president will do differently in his second term. i'm hoping obama announces this will be the black half of his presidency. [ applause ] the last four years were pretty white. i'd like to see him put a little more funk in it. i'd like to see him turn this mother out for a change. i heard a lot of people sail over the last few weeks that if obama wins, they're going to move to canada. how come nobody threatens to move to mexico? [ laughter ] must be depressing for them. they're just as close. they're closer to us here. the presidential election is that special time every four years when americans gather around their tvs to be reminded where the states are on a map. [ laughter ] when did they put vermont up in the corner there? that was recent, right? they changed that. fox news was definitely the channel to watch last night. they were all over the place. they didn't know what to do. at one point, karl rove, you know karl rove? he's chubby guy, a hulk hogan

hair cut going on. he was demanding that his own network uncall the state of ohio for obama. megan kelly had to slap him across the face a few times to calm him down. things weren't so cheery at republican campaign headquarters. the crowd thinned, people started to leave and it got increasingly quiet. but towards the end, people even started -- people started untying their sweaters from around their necks and wearing them at the end of this thing. but this, the romney rally did provide an opportunity for a fun drinking game. it's called find the black person at the republican campaign headquarters. are you ready to play? [ applause ] prepare yourself a -- run to the liquor cabinet. pour yourself a shot of something and let's begin. all right, here we go. now, let's see. we're looking. panning the audience -- yeah -- no, no. sorry. indian. indian.

ah -- any -- oh, wait, yes. there's -- maybe! there's a maybe. it's a great drinking game to play with people who don't drink. i also enjoyed this. fox reporter in miami, a guy named blake berman, was at the obama rally in chicago. now, will.i.am from the black eyed peas was there was doing an interview, standing right next to him. unfortunately, the reporter got him confused with not one, but two other music performers. >> blake's got some info for us at camp obama. blake? >> not necessarily info, but just kind of giving you a little bit of what you see here. that's wyclef jean giving an interview. he is one of the many surrogates -- sorry? who -- wale. excuse me. wale. >> jimmy: keep going. you'll -- you'll get to it eventually.

you know, i was thinking about this yesterday. voting is a bad lesson. basically what we're telling kids is, it's okay to go into a strange old man's garage as long as he gives you a sticker when you leave. i voted in a very shaky looking apartment building. guillermo, where did you vote? >> in sherman oaks. >> jimmy: where? >> in sherman oaks. >> jimmy: what? >> it was a school. >> jimmy: in sherman oaks. >> yes. >> jimmy: okay. what country do they drink beer, big beers and pretzels in, do you know? >> oh, germany. >> jimmy: okay. germany. it's nowhere near sherman oaks. >> jimmy: no. anyway -- >> jimmy: guillermo -- guillermo was -- there's just no rhyme or reason to it, you understand? >> yeah, i understand.

>> jimmy: you understand, right. guillermo was live tweeting from the line. he was waiting in line and he tweeted, "long line to vote." and then, "i am wondering if i can order pizza while i'm on line, i'm very hungry." i told you not to leave the house without an emergency pizza supply, you didn't listen. >> i was hungry, big lines. >> jimmy: there was a big line, yeah. and then another tweet, "i voted, now time to eat, my belly is happy." and a link to this picture, which -- looks like you saw a ghost. it's not supposed to go there. who took this picture? >> my wife. >> jimmy: your wife took it? >> yeah. >> jimmy: what did you eat afterwards? >> thai food. >> jimmy: thai food? >> yeah. >> jimmy: like the epcot center over there. so, the good news is, the election is over. and now we can all get back to what really matters, which is trying to entangle our ipod headphones.

it's safe to go back on facebook right now. social media has played a major role in this election. anybody who has a twitter account or a facebook page can use it to support a candidate they like. and annoy the relatives they love. but i, for one, have had enough of people and their opinions and i'm hoping this ad -- i spent like $4 million on this ad, to encourage people to put a sock in it for at least the next three years. >> the election is over. and i already voted. >> i cast my vote. >> i also voted. >> so, you can stop sending me e-mails about how you voted. >> and you can stop harassing me on facebook. >> and leaving comments. >> and commenting on comments. >> and tweeting. >> and retweeting. >> and you really don't have to gloat. >> you can stop threatening to move to canada. no one believes you. >> you can stop calling obama a socialist. >> and stop calling mitt romney a scum bag. >> probably a nice guy. probably both nice guys. >> and you can stop forwarding me forwards. >> and forwards of forwards you

forwarded. >> fw, fw, f-u. i get it. >> i get it, you like the one guy better than the other guy. >> i don't know how else to say this. but please stop [ bleep ] on my lawn. >> who [ bleep ] on my lawn? >> stop [ bleep ] on my lawn. >> this election is over. >> just forget about the election. >> and get back to this. >> ow! charlie! that really hurt. >> so, i think what we're trying to say is -- >> please. >> i beg of you. >> leave me alone! >> and seriously who is [ bleep ] in my yard? >> this ad is paid by everyone. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: forward that to your friends. you know, it turned out the election wasn't as close as a lot of people thought it would be. mitt romney, though he had to be disappointed, he gave a very nice concession speech. he was very gracious. he congratulated the president. he urged americans to come

together. if the speech was any indication, i have a feeling mitt romney is going to be just fine. >> i so wish i had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction. but the nation chose another leader and so, ann and i join with you to earnestly pray for him and for this great nation. thank you and god bless america. you guys are the best. thank you. >> jimmy: awesome. if i knew he had a jet pack -- he should have mentioned that months ago. [ applause ] besides the presidential election, a few states passed some unusual ballot initiatives last night. maine and maryland legalized same sex marriage and colorado and washington have become the first states to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. [ applause ] that's a big deal, legalizing pot for recreational use because here in california, you can only

use marijuana legally if you suffer from a fake medical condition. [ laughter ] i got a great idea for a business in colorado or washington. anything that's open at 3:00 a.m. and has food. [ laughter ] we passed a weird measure in l.a. measure b will require porn stars to wear condoms in all adult films shot in los angeles. primarily male porn stars. the women do not have to wear them, but -- i believe this is the first election in which i voted on an erection. it is unique to us in hollywood. the way it works, every adult film shoot in l.a. have to to pay for a permit and the money from the permits will go to fund periodic condom inspections. for real. people will be carrying cards that say condom inspector on them. california governor jerry brown went to the polls to vote near his house yesterday. unfortunately, the guy voting

next to him brought his dogs, one of wish took a particular interest in the governor. [ laughter ] that dog is literally a brown noser. [ laughter ] it's the -- dogs get a lot of information from sniffing your -- equivalent of stalking someone on facebook. and one more thing. a lot of people seem to become very knowledgeable during an election year. all of a sudden, people who never pick up a newspaper suddenly become george stephanopoulos. if there's one thing i learned during this election, it's that a lot of people are completely full of it. we asked people over the last month, we asked people if they voted, we asked them that the day before the election. we asked them who won the debate, the day before the debate happened. we asked people if they saw the first lady debate, which is something that has never happened. [ laughter ] and each time, we found people who had strong opinions on these imaginary events. so, today, we decided to do it again. we went out onto hollywood boulevard. we asked people if they are going to vote in the vice

presidential election today. and here is tonight's edition of "lie witness news." >> will you guys be voting in the vice presidential election today or have you already? >> no. >> we're not able to, because we're from connecticut and it took too long -- >> to get the ballots back. >> would you, if you were able to? >> of course, of course, 100%. >> absolutely. >> and you're aware that there is a vice presidential election going on today? >> yes. >> as you know, today is the vice presidential election, you have voted? >> i have not voted today. >> will you vote later today? >> probably. >> have you voted yet in today's vice presidential election? >> yes. >> yes. >> did you know today is the vice presidential election, have you voted yet today? >> i have not yet. >> you will be later today? >> sure. >> and do you know where your polling place is? >> yes, i do. >> okay. >> as you know, today is the vice presidential election.
