the winter ather is here. the question is how much snow are we in for and when will it leave? we have a team of meteorologists here. we start with chief meteorologist topper shutt. >> i'll tell you what. the scary thing is this is not even the heavy snow. the heavy snow will develop in the next hour and continue through the afternoon. let me show you where the snow is now. we'll widen out the radar just a little bit. you can see a good amount of snow around the immediate metro area and another batch back into the southwest of us, out toward west virginia and kentucky. that's really the center of the storm. we'll actually take a track much different than the last few clippers. the last few clippers tracked north. this will track south off a pretty good spot, about cape hatteras and move northeastward. not going to hug the coast and hammer us but give us a good, healthy snow. we'll doom in a little bit more. we see a good area of snow around most of the mets toe area, -- metro area, up 270. had reports of breaks near the shenandoah valley north of warrenton. some good bands are

option in most states here in pennsylvania as an example to continue on their curre coverage plan for atherup to a year in some cases. so we did that in conjunctn with and also with approval of the insurance department. there were political decisions that were made not to continue people on their coverage. so my judgment is making it difficult for people in the states who might not haveeen able to get onto the obamacare exchange. melissa: that the two options are part of this. you can go to a private insurance exchange and we have enrolled people like that. we call that part of the exchange and woman and we have enrolled a fair number of people in those situations as well. melissa: how do you find a private insurance they know who high mark is, they know less, and we have made that with advertising. >> so how would that be different if they went to the obamacare website. >> you work with thefamily members that are trying to ge coverage and so. >> of you don't qualify for the subsidy, you are the ceo of an insurance company. is it cheaper to get the plan on the obamacare website if you don't

as athers us because people we are united by the belief that every american deserves the equal opportunity to achieve six -- success. fifty years ago today, president lyndon johnson sought to address the plight of poverty by waging a war against it. on that day, he stood before a joint session of congress and vowed, "it will not be a short or easy struggle, no single weapon or strategy will suffice, but we shall not rest until that war is won." his very next sentence served as a small window into his big- government vision for this war, and its future failures. he said that " "the richest nation on earth can afford to win it." and with those words, he foreshadowed the belief still held by liberals to this very day, that government spending is the central answer to healing the wounds of poverty. today, the debate on poverty is primarily focused on the growing income gap between the rich and poor. from 1979 to 2007, income for the highest-earning americans grew by more than it did for anyone else. from 1980 to 2005, over 80% of the total increase in income went to the top 1% of american s. t

checks, whether it's raising the minimum wage, whethers the unemployment insurance extension, we would ather have all of these pass and make progress than not and have an issue in november. for us it's so urgent, so immediate. quite frankly for me, when we left here in december without passing it, i think most of us thought when we come back in january they will do it right away and it will be retroactive and it will be off the table. that's why i said, one of the biggest decippingses between democratics and republicans is our concern for american working families. they have been clear they don't intend to take this up. unless there is a great deal of public pressure for them to do so, it won't happen. i in no way want this to be an issue in november. i want this to be an exent history by then. by the way, for every dollar spent injects $1.52 into the economy. it is a stimulus. not the kind we prefer but it is a stimulus. we would rather them pass merican jobs, make it in america, buy american bonds. we rather they pass those kind of initiatives alongside this so we are creating big initiati
