virgin islands. what?blicans in the virgin islands held their caucus last week and i remember reporting on it at the time seemed a little weird. we were like the virgin islands had their caucus. so far the result is that uncommitted one, how did that turn out? we knew there was something wrong. well, turns out what happened there is john yob was the virgin island's top vote getter as a delegate and that's kind of weird. i mean, this whole thing is weird. i mean, most particularly just because a week before the caucus, election terribles in the virgin islands had declared john yob and his wife to be ineligible to even vote in the virgin islands. election officials in the virgin islands said he had not lived there long enough to qualify to vote there. they accused him of sneaking around and lying and telling two different stories to try to basically fraudulently get himself onto the voting rolls there even though they thought he had not lived there long enough to qualify. then at the last minute, literally t

we are live on long island. harry c i skrchlt cicma. >> reporter: the travel advisory hours, take a look at the henry hudson parkway behind me here. you can see that traffic is actually moving very nicely here, although the roads are starting to get slick. i wouldn't say icy, but definitely damp as we have the snow flurries beginning to fall. they've been falling maybe about an hour at this point. but the reason there is no accumulation, of course, is because there has been salters around the neighborhood all evening. they've been doing a diligent job salting all the main roadways and side roads as well. and the ground temperature is still pretty high. so when the snow hits the ground, it is melting, which is a good thing. but the concern is that won't continue to happen throughout thnge night and perhaps when you get up in the morning to get in your car and head to work, we really could see some slick conditions. we could see some black ice. that's all within the realm of possibility. so officials are asking fo
