and 100 outbreaks a year. >> the best way to prevent these outbreaks is to make sure that people who are ill stay home when they're not feeling well. that prevents introduction of the virus into the facility. then it's important to practice good hand washing. reporter: we did reach out to the school this afternoon but did not hear back. tom: tonight we're learning that one of two police departments investigating a threat against sanborn regional high school will not be filing criminal charges against the young man involved. but the case remains open in kingston. jennifer crompton is live at the high school now where the threat at one point was looked at by the f.b.i. jen? reporter: it was, tom. but soon after it came back to the two local departments. the school superintendent says that the perceived threat against the pep rally didn't seem to faze students at all.

so, let me get this straight -- u.s. cellular has the phone you're looking for, a network that's built to give you coverage way out here where the other guys don't, and 6 gigs for only $40 a month. that's a lot less than verizon and at&t. so, why on earth would you ever go with one of those other guys? switch to u.s. cellular now and get 6 gigs of data for $40 a month plus get $300 back. [ echoing ] just sayin'. jean: the free state project says it's reached its goal of getting 0,000 libertarians to pledge to move to new hampshire. so far 20,000 members have already moved to the granite state. the goal is to have the remaining 18,000 come here within five years. this weekend the organization is

in manchester. >> we're just saying move here and whatever do you when you get here, that's up to you. so there's a lot of different free staters who are doing a lot of different things in the state, many are not politically active at all. jean: they'll have an interview tomorrow with edward snowden, the contractor who revealed classified information about government surveillance programs, he will speak live from russia through skype. tom: okay, let's move onto less than seven hours away from the first voting since new hampshire. republicans are appealing to voters ahead of south carolina's primary tomorrow. while democrats are actually in nevada for that state's caucuses. wmur's sally ki has the latest from our washington bureau. reporter: tom and jean, it's attack and counterattack for republicans as they vie for votes this the critical palmetto state primary. if the polls are right, south

march 1st with people in 13 states chooserring their nominees. jean: some snowmobiling trails will be open this weekend, thanks to snow this week. trails are groomed in bear notch and bartlett and some parts of pittsburg. the state says it notified them to modify their trace, and riding should be available for the next few weeks. but payne trails are closed because of lack of snow. a ski resort in california is back open today after an avalanche closed a major road and schools in the area yesterday. heavy snow and wind triggered three avalanches and covered two cars with debris at alpine meadows. rescuers pulled three people to safety, fortunately nobody was injured. it's a very different scene in missouri where fire crews right now are putting out hot spots for a 1500-acre brush fire that whipped i fire tornadoes. warm weather and low humidity

this one sparked by a broken lawn mower. tom: take a look at this, the incredible sight at yosemite national park, it's called fire fall. it shows up at this time of year when the sun hits that water fall at just the right angle to make it glow. there also needs to be enough snow on the ground to help reflect light for that perfect fiery color. mike: that is awesome looking. maybe not so exciting to look up at the cloud cover over warner right now, that gray milky appearance to the sky. the clouds are lowering and thickening ahead of the next system that you do see, producing a little snow back to our west. however, the air mass right now is extremely dry over new hampshire, and even in parts of vermont. so what you're seeing, if any, is just flurries or very light snow showers.

more saturated by mid evening and the disturbance approaching out of central new york will start to trigger light snow over new hampshire. first begins in western parts of the state shortly after 7:00 or 8:00 this evening, shortly after 8:00 or 9:00 in central sections and a little later near the coast. notice that very narrow band of snow will set up shop just enough to make the roads sliply during the mid to late evening. overnight a little more snow will tend to fill in, but also by that time temperatures begin to warm up at very low levels of the atmosphere, that means it will change over to a light mix or some rain especially concord south and east early saturday morning. one batch of precipitation moves away, lingering snow and showers up north. could see some partial sun and then very late in the afternoon towards evening, another band of through. in terms of snow accumulations, not a whole lot to speak of, especially along the coast. but we could see a coating to

southeast of manchester through nashua, possibly an inch and a half in a couple spots, generally one to three elsewhere. could i awe few spots in the higher terrain that get up near four or five. for more on the weekend, here's haley. hayley: we do have she's snow showers moving through, but the good news is we'll likely have a break midday on saturday. so you can still get out and enjoy doing things outdoors, especially with how mild the temperatures will be. here's an event for you to enjoy, the center harbor skate fest, the second annual one, will be going on tomorrow, and it goes from 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. starting at 1:00 they'll have open skating, then at 2:00 they actually have a bonfire going, demonstrations. you can even skate after dark tomorrow night. it ends about 7:00 in the evening, and as you see, temperatures will be quite mild. will climb at center harbor into

7:00 in the evening to the 30's. if ice skating isn't your thing but skiing or boarding is, here's the forecast for you. tomorrow we might have some mixed showers in the afternoon, about 40 degrees on saturday. then on sunday will be the brighter of the two days, with temperatures in the low 40's as well. so mike now has more on the extended forecast. mike: yes, as you talked about those mild temperatures, they're in here. overnight tonight we'll go from the 30's we are right now into the 20's to around 30 by morning. and that will actually happen during the predawn hours. then towards early morning we'll start to see temperatures climbing back above freeze, that's why that change over to light rain. if we get enough partial sun in southern new hampshire, a couple spots may make a run close to 50. but many will line up in the 40's. again this is the break that should develop during the late morning and early afternoon before more rain showers pivot in late day into the evening. notice the highs for tomorrow,

it's low 40's across the north country, and in ski country as well as haley just talked about. it's still mild in the lakes region, monadnock region mid 40's. same story around concord, upper 40's in nashua and along the coast. there is a chance that a couple of spots if we squeeze out enough sun may hit 50 tomorrow. snow develops, now watch the roads not in the next couple hours, but mainly after 8:00. i would tend to think that anything that falls at that point is just a few flurries. then the roads could get slick late evening through the overnight. by morning temperatures rise a little in southeastern parts of the state, so that end as a little rain. couple of rain showers tomorrow night, sunday is looking really good, a little breezy, could be a light dusting of snow in southern new hampshire as the next weak system scoots south of us early monday morning. the rest of the day features clearing. sunshine tuesday, next storm chance on wednesday. looks like snow to start, but we

especially in southern zones during the afternoon. maybe more of a mix and rain on thursday. tom: we'll live with it. jean: thanks, mike. two suspects are in custody tonight, after an attack inside a u. mass dorm, we'll have the new developments when we come back. plus -- >> this is the vehicle that is going to take many hundreds of regular peek into space for the first time. tom: we'll you inside the new spaceship that could lead the

today that these findings are preliminary, but many felt that it was a good start in examining the pressing problem of opioid abuse and treatment. it is the first phase of a review of how insurance companies are handling claims for people seeking help for opioid abuse and addiction in the state. they examined claims from last year and determined that no laws were broke then the way they were handled. >> i think there is a number of folks who are who have private insurance who are seeking substance abuse treatment, some of getting the care they need, some of them are challenged in doing that. reporter: the insurance commission presented their findings friday to this group that is studying substance abuse and treatment in the state. of the more than 11,000 cases they examined, a group of experts looked closely at the four claims that were denied. >> out of the 64 denials, we

eight of them. what the disagreements were primarily regarding in inpatient versus outpatient treatment and that sort of thing. reporter: the preliminary review also found that the network of service was more of a challenge in the foreign part of the state than the south. they also found the few people who were denied care made use of the appeals process. marty bod en works with people struggle with opioid addiction and says very few people who actually need help try to get it. >> i think it's about stigma. people who have problems with alcohol or other drugs are afraid to talk out loud, they're afraid to talk to their health care providers about it. reporter: the second part of this study will examine parity, whether people with addictions are treated the same as people cancer. that review is expected to be done by summer. jean: governor hassan will travel to the nation's capital to meet with governors from across the u.s. this week,

tests, of course that's hugely significant. reporter: that's because virgin galactic has not had a vehicle since a tragic accident in 2014 left its spaceship in pieces and killed one test pilot. >> we're going to learn from what went wrong. reporter: the ntsb ruled the caution of the accident to be human error. spaceship two was already in development at the time of the crash. virgin galactic has made several updates to its new and improved spacecraft. >> the actual accident itself because caused by a control being moved when it shouldn't have been done and we've implemented a new system which prevents that ever happening again. reporter: the building and adding new features has taken time, it's been under construction for more than thee years. this is how it works.

more than three times the speed of sound, reaching between 50 and 62 miles above earth. the six passengers on board will experience about six minute of waitlessness. >> at this point we're going to allow the customers town strap and they can float around. reporter: more than 700 customers will already paid $250,000 for a seat when virgin galactic eventually starts commercial operation. >> it's a sendation al experience of course, but it's the first step in opening up space to the wider world. mike: six spots, me, jean, tom, jamie, i need two seats. are you kidding me? are you bringing your pet? tom says he needs two seats. take a look at dublin right now, the clouds are moving in. we have quite a few changes coming down the road between now and early tomorrow as winter

of the weekend, and then temperatures take off as we go through saturday and on sunday. a wintery start means light snow for many tonight, just enough to make it slick on area roads. then a good part of the day tomorrow the temperatures will be climbing well into the 40's. mixed showers will end early saturday. enough warm air creeps in by morning so we will see the changeover to a little light rain and then milder through the weekend will give way to a cooler stretch next week as the stormy pattern continues, even no the next couple of systems we're tracking for tonight, early tomorrow and another one early monday morning that mainly scoots out, stronger once will try to come close to us and affect us in one form or another during the middle and end of next week. take a look right now at doppler radar showing some action here. the air mass is very dry, could be a few light snow showers that try to scoot in to the upper

after about another hour or so. then more snow will fill in over eastern new york and move in during the course of the mid to late evening. not a lot of snowfall tonight and tomorrow morning. then when it changes over to rain, that will mark an end to any accumulation from concord points south and east early saturday morning. speaking of tomorrow, we've got some breaks of sunshine that will develop, mid to late morning into the early afternoon, boosting temperatures up near 50. but mid to upper 40's for many, and then a line of rain showers will develop and move in very late day in the upper valley and across the rest of the state as we advance into tomorrow evening. a dry sunday, most of the day looking good after a dusting of snow, possibility over southern new hampshire, and even tuesday looks fairly quiet. but beyond that it does turn stormy likely by wednesday, in one form or another. in terms of snow projections, this is one computer model painting about an inch to inch

a coating to an inch near the coast, and the amounts increase in the higher terrain to the north where we could see a general one to three with spot four-inch amounts. temperatures will not fall off that much tonight, by midnight temperatures will rides a little as we go into the early part of tomorrow morning. temperatures beyond that time frame, we do have temperatures in the 40's for both saturday and sunday. maybe near 50 with enough partial sunshine. and then we begin to cool down a little bit for monday. you'll notice by the early part of next week we do see that temperature tumble again. that will set the stage for a mess of weather rolling our way wednesday and thursday, likely starts as snow, may go over to a mix, maybe rain by thursday. but five, six days out, many days to watch it. tom: a little of everything. thank you. wildlife rangers in africa are trying to track down any
