and then another storm system moves in. i'll show you when. we're going to start with new concerns about that mysterious oil sheen on the potomac river. it is a lot bigger than first thought. >> and it's endangering geese and ducks and other animals at a wildlife sanctuary. the spill first showed up near reagan national airport and now stretches several miles down river. mark segraves has been tracking this story all day and join us live from the wildlife sanctuary with more on the cleanup effort. mark? >> reporter: this is roach's run wild fowl sanctuary right across the street from reagan national airport. everybody knows that parking lot where the limos hang out before they pick you up at the airport. i just got brand new information. i just got off the phone with the department of environment in the district, and they say a coast guard flyover of this area that was just concluded about an hour ago has determined that the oil spill originated here in this lake, this wild fowl

sanctuary, roach's run. this is where the highest concentration of oil is, and then it's spread into the river. they still don't know the source of it, but they have determined this is as far up river as the oil is. now, earlier today wildlife officials were on scene here at roach's run trying to gather geese. dozens and dozens of geese covered in oil had to be rounded up today to be taken back and cleaned and released later on. we know at least two dozen geese were recovered. you can see the sheen spreads now for eight miles down the potomac river from reagan national airport all the way down to the wilson bridge and there are reports as far down as mt. vernon of sightings of this oil. the big impact in this area is on the wildlife. earlier today we spoke with an official from the u.s. coast guard who is overseeing the r recovery efforts about what this is doing to the environment and to the waterways. >> right now we haven't been made aware of any public health threat, and the water quality is

being monitored. it's sampled, and there's a number of procedures in place to make sure that's safe. >> reporter: now, we can tell you that a public utility that has a substation close to here in crystal city actually here had a mineral oil spill about a week ago. now, they say they've cleaned that up and that it is not related to this. coast guard officials again can't determine what the original source of the oil is, but coming up at 5:00, we'll hear more from the officials from the utility as well as from the coast guard. back to you, chris. >> thanks a lot, mark. a developing story this afternoon. we have new video of a deadly crane collapse in lower manhattan. it happened right in the middle of the morning rush. a man was walking on the sidewalk when he was killed by the falling debris. three other people were injured. the crane was extended more than 500 feet in the air. workers were trying to lower and secure it when it collapsed. the snow squall was passing through and winds were gusting

president obama stress ed - the labor department announced today that u.s. employers added more than 15,000 jobs last month. this was enough to make the unemployment rate drop to 4.9%. president obama cautioned against taking complaints about -- making complaints about the economy from republican presidential candidates too seriously. he says don't take them -- >> the united states of america right now has the strongest, most durable economy in the world. i know that's still inconvenient for republican stump speeches as their doom and despair tour plays in new hampshire. i guess you cannot please everybody. >> the unemployment rate is the lowest level since early 2008. we're looking for some changes in the weather. >> yeah, doug, i told us

yesterday some people were going to see a few flakes, and we certainly did, although you were right, never really stuck around very long. >> yeah. you know, temperatures stayed above freezing for the most part in most locations. we saw some snow on the roadways for a brief period of time but that was it, and by around noon today, all that snow that fell on the ground, southern maryland, up to the baltimore area, that was all melted. take a look at the storm system and one thing you can tell here, it's all moving off towards the north and east. this only takes you through about 10:00 a.m. you can see the whole storm moving away from our region. so it brought the snow in. we saw some snow for five straight hours in d.c. but didn't pick up any real accumulation as a result of the warmer temperatures. watch this though. look at these bands coming in way. most of the storm heading this way, right? well, then you get this little band here coming off the great lakes and interacting with the bay. that actually produced upwards of an inch down warned the bowie area where you saw some

accumulation. that whole system is out of here and we're dealing with breezy conditions, nothing on the radar now. right now current temperatures are on the cool side. 43 degrees, sunshine. winds out of the northwest at 13 miles per hour. we've seen those winds though gusting upwards of 20. look at the windchill. 29 in gaithersburg. 32 in manassas. 33 in camp springs. if you're heading out this evening, make sure you take the coat. this friday night is going to be a cold one for sure. here is our system. again, you can see the air coming right off the great lakes here, right down into our area. that's a very cold air mass. look back to the west. we've got some clouds moving our way but no real storm system moving in. and that tells me this weekend is looking pretty good. good weekend to get up there and do a little skiing. don't go to liberty though. it's 1 o100% open but i'm going sunday so if we could keep the lines down. winter green looking good. 24 to 48 inch base. snow shoe has seen 70 inches of snow so far.

you're going to get sent home because you fall flat op your face. >> reporter: next up for meek-bradley, restaurant wars. this is a show tradition and fan favorite in which competing teams have to open a restaurant in one day. she says it's one of the toughest jobs she's ever done. >> it's just so fast. you don't have time to make a mistake. you don't have time to think about anything hardly. you get up at god knows what time in the morning, go, go, go, and then go to bed, don't sleep, get up the next morning. it was very much this intense, like, oh, my god, here we go. >> marjorie meek-bradley says she can take the heat. after all, she wanted to go on "top chef" for the competition, the challenge, and the experience, not for tv stardom. but even this camera-shy chef knows that is the price of admission. >> chefs are competitive by nature. kitchens are loud and hot and fast, so if you're going to put us all together and make us cook competitively, like there's going to be drama. let's be real.
