>> -- and all that matters -- >> controversial comments from vice president biden. >> if i took him blindfolded and took him to laguardia airport, you might think i'm in some third world country. i'm not joking. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> people want to know whether letterman and i dislike each other. that's not true. we've had a long relationship. >> if i was jay leno and i was retiring, you know what i'd do? i'm go out and buy myself a car. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota. let's go places. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning," good morning, norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. wow, the olympics are here. >> ready or not. the opening ceremony of the 2014 winter olympics begins in a few hours. it's the most expensive in

history. >> dozens of world leaders are expected to attend today's ceremony and there is extremely heavy security because of terror threats. mark phillips is in sochi where he spoke with a top u.s. official at the games. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah, good morning, charlie. well, the olympics, this is it. the security, anti-gay laws, and even sports. it's all happening. janet napolitano, here is head of the u.s. delegation. in fact, the games have already begun. competitions have started. the skaters twirling, the boarders doing what boarders do, the skiers training on the new runs here. that's perennial u.s. hopeful bode miller. the athletic components of the game, which is, after all, what they're about, is on the way. and the russian organizers all the way to vladimir putin hopes

this stuff becomes the story of their game, but the other stuff won't go away. the political games continue too. napolitano leads the delegation with a message. it contains two openly gay competitors. they're not here just because they're former olympians. they were chosen because of u.s. distaste for russia's controversial app tanti-gay laws. >> right now it's about the focus. they're going do their best. >> it's the code for the fact that there are at least two guy people on the delegation. is that a message being sent to the russians? >> that's a message -- i think the message is an obvious one that we are an open and toll rant company. >> napolitano has never married and describes herself as a

straight up work holik. >> of course, there's the current warning about the threat of bomb material being smuggled on planes in tooth paste tubes. >> did you bring tooth paste? >> yes. anytime you have a major international event, there are security issues. >> president obama told nbc he was satisfied with sochi's security. >> i think the russians have an enormous stake, obviously, in preventing any kind of terrorist act or violence at these venues, and they have put a lot of resources into it. we're in constant communications with them. >> reporter: and a curious twist on the security stories today, a russian official saying they had evidence that people were leaving their showers running too long, posing questions of where the cameras were.

it was later explained, norah and charlie, as a mistranslation. >> all right. thank you. now to the big clean up in the northeast. the cold weather is slowing down power crews. officials are warning many power crews won't see the lights come on until this weekend. terrell brown is north of philadelphia. terrell, good morning. >> reporter: norah, good morning to you. the governor of pennsylvania has compared the efforts to get the lights back on to that of superstorm sandy, but icy conditions. it is 18 degrees out here this morning. along with issues like this, downed trees, this tree is almost out into the roadway. all of that is making job very tough for power crews. utility crews from as far away as arkansas have made their way to the east coast, trying to restore power from maryland to pennsylvania's main line. two days after freezing rain and sleet toppled trees across the

region. record-setting temperatures and snowfall are causing record-breaking cleanup costs along the eastern seaboard. in parts of maine where snow is falling at an average of 17 inches, cruise are out in full force. >> we're probably at 90% on overtime. on salt budget, we've got a couple hundred ton left. sand, we're over. >> reporter: though the worst of the storm is over, many are still dealing with the aftermath. and in columbus, ohio, slick roads caused a salt truck driver to lose control of his vehicle. he was left dangling over the side of an em bankment before he was rescued. homeowners were using gas grills and generators to stay warm. franklin jones has been in the dark for three days. >> in order to breathe properly, it has to be functional 24/7.

i hoave a monitor at home. >> with only enough power for two days, he's staying at abington hospital. >> as soon as i have the power back on, i'll be heading home. >> we're told the temperatures will remain around the freezing mark over the next few days. we're also told by power crews most of the electricity should be restored by sunday but more snow is in the forecast for this weekend, charlie and norah. >> terrell, thanks. the weather is change drastically in the west. interstate 5 was closed because of accidents. more snow is expected today. many schools are closed. >> that same system is bridging much needed rain and snow to california. a downpour hit san francisco yesterday just before dawn. it tied up traffic and caused minor flooding. the rain brought little relief for a region that has its driest winter in memory.

forecasts predict a bigger storm. ma megan glaros of our cbs affiliate, wbbm, has more. >> thank you, charlie and norah. the storm will likely total 7 inches of rainfall in the north bay air forrea. it's called the pineapple express. it's a river of moisture extending from hawaii to the pacific coastline. it will be in place for several days helping with the drought but certainly not ending it. by the way, as the snowstorm pushes eastward, we expect the storms to stay separate, meaning we will likely not see a monster storm going into the end of the weekend. there will be periods of snow and minor snow in the midwest which will deal with bitter cold. charlie, norah? >> this morning hope is fading

for broad overhaul of the nation's immigration system. house speaker john boehner says he can't see a path forward. he blames president obama for the stalemate. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with what is next. nancy, good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah. yes. this came as a big surprise. speaker baner and just about everyone else around here has been saying if congress is going to get anything big done this year it's going to be immigration reform. but now he says it's the much to go forward. just one week after unveiling his roadmap, house speaker boehner announced the plan was in trouble because they don't trust the president. >> now he's running around the country saying he's going to act on his own. he's talking about his phone and his pen and he's created more

distrust. >> boehner was speaking to this warning. >> i've got a pen and i've got a phone. i can use that pen to sign executive orders and actions that move the ball fard. >> reporter: boehner says the white house worries. granting legal status to the nation's 11 million undocumented workers without securing the borders. other republicans think the timing is wrong, that the issue will divide their party in an election year. >> i think it's a police stake for us to have an internal battle and the republican party this year. i do think we need to address the issue. >> but chuck schumer says he still thinks boehner can get his members on board. >> i still hold optimism that we will get this done, but i don't think what speaker boehner said is any different than what he said before, and i know it's his belief that it's going to be

very, very hard to do. >> other democrats were not as diplomatic. they say that the speaker is blaming the president for deep and longstanding divisions on this issue. >> all right, nancy. thank you. and this morning, twitter is worth $8 billion less than it was before its earnings report. slow growth spooked investors. >> twitter stock lost almost 16 points thursday close just above $50 a share. that's a 24% plunge. cbs news contributor mellody hobson joins us. good morning, mellody. >> good morning, charlie. >> what is the news about twitter? >> there was good new and bad news yesterday. the bad news overwhelmed the good news. the good news is the company became profitable. they made 2 cents a share. that was great. the bad news is the growth is

slowing and user engagement actually fell. that was not expected and that spooked investors. >> so is that an indication of the future of twitter? >> well, i think they've admitted to challenges they have. it's not the easiest platform to use. they understand that. they understand also if they're going to be this hot growth stock, they have to grow. they can't have this growth where year over year their users were up 30%, but last quarter only up 4%. that's not great. so they've got a lot of work to do. >> melody, you know, facebook went through some similar difficulties and then recoveringed. can twitter recover? >> well, we've seen this tech crash movie so many times. i mean it was like facebook one. there was zynga, you could go on and on. is it a buzz model or a business

model? what i mean by that, they've had all this hype around them. their investment base bought into the hype thinking it's the next apple or facebook and maybe not necessarily understanding some of the issues that the company has. anything is possible in the tech world. we've learned that before. but we'll have to wait and see on this one. >> all right, mellody. good to see you. thanks so much. and a private funeral will be held today in new york city for actor philip seymour hoffman. celebrities like amy adams and cate blanchett attended his wake. autopsy results remain inconclusive. a public memorial is planned later this month. >> this morning jay leno starts a new chapter in his life. he offered a bittersweet farewell last night and tracy look at the off replacement th
