problem here. public officials are not only worried about 2 to 3 feet of snow, a problem in and of it but the fact there will be 50-mile-an-hour winds inland and 70 miles per hour on the coast approaching hurricane strength. that will cause coastal flooding for all the communities up and down the massachusetts and new england coastline. that also coincides with high tide tomorrow morning. so there are many, many problem. they're expecting power outages scattered inland but widespread down on cape cod out on the islands because of this heavy snow that's falling and the high winds. so it should be a real mess in boston over the next several days. >> chris pollone, thank you. can we make the point while we don't want any kind of blizzard conditions like they're having there, can we be honest and say that doug is really disappointing they're getting all the action u boston? >> not just doug. some of the f us would like to have a little more.

>> it would be kind of nice to see a nice little, you know foot snowfall here in our area. everybody out there right now cursing at the tv. sorry about that. but we do have some snow continuing to come down and even if we see an inch tonight it will pose some problems on our roadways. we're dealing with that now. boston could be dealing with this for days. we will be dealing with this for about another 12 to say 18 hours or so before the storm system is out of here. at the airport reporting light snow but we e area areas that will see snow through the rest of the evening.e sitting in the thirty at the airport, 32 degrees right now, 34 degrees right now and temperatures will falling to about 33 at 7:00 32 degrees by the 9:00 hour and 11:00 around 31. snow at 7:00 snow showers at 9:00 and then again at 11:00. we will continue to see snow tonight. look at the numbers here. here's why we're already seeing problems. 27 in gaithersburg 28 in rockville getting numerous reports in montgomery county

streets being covered with snow now and that will be the problem as we move in through the overnight hours. we didn't see the snow early this morning but we saw some an inch or two with the clipper but that clipper moved all its energy off to the coast and now that coastal storm is developing. that one is now putting moisture back into our region. that's why we had the lull today but you can see what's happening around our area. snow pretty good back towards leeswarrenton, around the gainesville area parts of montgomery county prince gecounty through the district and this will all continue to move the the southwest in throu of fair and accurate. we are going to see some snow on the roadways here over the next few hours. i really think the next few hours will be critical if you'll be making your way out and about. u might want to say inside if you can over the next few hours. high temperatures tomorrow 36 degrees, light snow showers early, could be delays tomorrow morning, 39 on thursday with a chance for snow late in the day, but that's not going to be a big issue. looking at the next storm, though next sunday coming out

so you know what doreen said as soon as she heard what you were going to report who didn't know they'd find some lowly, nonofficial, throw him all under the bus with spikes on it? right? >> didn't you expect that? the coach and the quarterback both said, we don't kn >> yep. >> nobody was surprised on this one. the nfl investigation is zeroing in on a patriots locker room attendant, this according to fox sports. accord the report they say the attendant allegedly took footballs from the officials locker room to another area on the way to the field. there'ly video of this as well. the nfl has also interviewed and is now trying to figure out if there was any wrongdoing that occurred during e game.
