first, to chad myers. and, chad, just walk me through, you know, what will happen in new york and in new england over the next, let's say 18 hours for now. >> this is the warmest part of the day. this is when it should be a rain/snow mix. the fact that she has what's called underdeveloped snow, little pellets the size of -- remember those beans used to be in a beanbag chair, about what is coming down, about the same weight too. but because that's piling up, that means that from central park north, your snow totals will be that 8 to 14. you will get that, especially north of the city, into westchester county for sure. if you're from lower manhattan, south toward the amways and even into northern new jersey, you may actually see -- central new jersey, you may see only 4 to 6 because that's where the rain is now mixing in. you can see it is raining here all the way up and down into atlantic city. but that snow line, that's the most important part for new york city, where does the snow finally change back over

and i e-mails chad myers earlier. i said there was a calm before the storm. figure out why we didn't have much snow. it's like magic chad because it's really started to come down here. i just wanted to let you know while it's lovely, it's also a real pain in the butt because we're getting reports of 26,600 people without power in connecticut. that's sure to get worse. i do want to report something to you. just before you came to us, a number of emergency vehicles went flying by with their sirens on. so i called the connecticut state police and i said what's going on. they said a trooper has had an accident on 95. he's okay, minor injuries. it tells you if a trooper is getting into an accident, there's a reason there's a state wide ban on travel. one other thing, i have been doing the presidents measurement. i think as the governor of the state said, this is when it's going to start getting a lot more serious. the snowfall is going to get a lot morehick. 3 to 5 inches an hour. our official presidents measurement, we have reached millard fillmore, which is abou

details now on the drivers and the storm they're stuck in from chad myers in the weather center. chad? >> anderson, if you left too late to get home from work or wherever you're coming from, school or whatever, you very well may have had a very hard time getting home because the snow totals are coming down so fast. amarillo, in 24 hours, picked up 19 inches of snow and all the way down to woodward, oklahoma. it wasn't snowing this morning. they are now 15 and it's still snowing and blowing around. some of these winds 60 or 70 miles per hour creating five and six-foot drifts. we're hearing some of the plows are coming off the roads again. as soon as they clear, ten minutes later, the drifts are back in again in parts of texas and oklahoma. this is going to be a very difficult night. i just can't stress any more what you just said, do not travel. do not go out. you could get stuck. and then the people trying to come get those people are getting stuck. they're sending bldozers literally to clear some of the snow to get to the emergency vehicles that are trying to get to the people th

, and the conditions that we're dealing with. >> jason, stay with me because i want to bring in chad myersere, but i also want you to hear what chad is saying and maybe talk to you. chad, you're in the weather center. jason is seeing some bad stuff right now. give me the big picture. >> jason is in this brighter white band that's kind of easy to see, just plowing right into boston. the big picture is that the low is still well to the south of him. as the low gets closer later tonight, when it makes its closest approach, somewhere between i would say midnight and 2:00, that's when the weather will get the worst. the reason jason is feeling the stinging ice instead of just a snow flake is some of the snow flakes are falling through the sky, hitting a layer of 32 -- go ahead, jason. >> they're moving out of the way because a car is coming. >> as the snow flake is coming down, it's melting and refreezing into kind of an ice ball, but these ice balls are not going to pile up as much as snow, so that may reduce the amount of snow, the inches of snow that jason gets throughout the night. it's not

weather forecast from chad myers in a few minutes. the west coast, we're tracking the manhunt for ex-lapd cop. the suspect' burned truck has been dound about 100 miles northeast of los angeles. he vowed to wage war on police. three people are dead, one officer, the daughter of a former officer, and her fiance. we begin with kyung lah. what is the latest on the manhunt for this very dangerous man? >> the sheriff's department just came out and spoke with reporters. what they are saying, and it's a little surprising, that despite the perilous conditions, despite the danger the officers are facing on this rough terrain, they are going to keep on searching. snow is in the forecast. weather is going to become extremely difficult. but they say they are going to stay out there. they have the dogs out there. they're going to use all the technology they can, but their goal is to try to corner him in some very rough terrain, piers. i have been out in that area. it's a heavily wooded area. there are resort homes. some of those homes are empty. yo

think about that. >> it is chad myers.st year. there are many more out there we don't know about. how are we searching for these? >> well, currently we're searching for them from amateur telescopes on the ground as well as dedicated telescopes on the ground. and those have done a decent job at finding the ones that would wipe out civilization. we found the vast majority of those. what that is not very good at is finding the ones that would only wipe out a city or only perhaps collapse the world economy or only perhaps take out a small country. we're not doing very well at that. we only found 1% of asteroids the size of 2012-da-14. >> 1%? >> yeah. that means for every one of these that we find there is 99 others that we haven't found yet. so the foundation is looking to find the other 99. >> from what i read, they're also potentially benefits to some of these steroasteroids. there are some businesses that look to mine an asteroid. >> they hope to do that some day. these businesses are, however, wholly dependent on someone f

chad myers, the temperatures, as larry poret just said, are downright cold, and you saw for yourself as well, chad, those passengers have gone from being stiflingly hot to freezing cold and grabbing whatever blankets they can to huddle on the fresher air of the -- of the decks. >> and it rained almost all night overnight last night on those passengers that were on the deck. larry, if you can hear me, we know the ship is late to arrive because the wind was so strong out of the north, almost pushing your boat backward. did you feel that wind when you were on the boat? >> we felt the wind, but we also know we're being pulled along by tugs. and, you know, i'm just -- out of frustration, the passengers are frustrated because we see other tugs, tugboats, that are just going along the -- and, you know, why can't we have more tugboats pulling us in? why can't we have more help? we've been out here four days extra just trying to get home. >> i wish i knew that answer. >> we need help. we need somebody to get us in. >> you're also in a current now, a long shore current that's trying to push you

chad myers, stick around. a blizzard expert is joining us here in "the situation room" right now from the national weather service. he's the assistant administrator. he's about to become the director of the national weather service. louie, thank you for coming in. >> thank you for having me. >> you've studied blizzards, '78 in boston, 77 in buffalo. how bad is this one? >> this storm has a potential to be a very dangerous storm and given the amount of snowfall, especially up in new england, it will rank in the top ten, top five storms in that area. >> ever? >> ever. >> since they started keeping these records? >> since the late 1880s. >> when you say new england, that's a big area. where do you think it's going to be the worst? >> from eastern connecticut, rhode island, up into southwestern maine. clearly as the storm, be which is now rapidly developing off the east coast, wraps up southeast of new england, it will pull the snow back in and will funnel the heaviest snowfall into that area. and whether we get t

meteorologist chad myers joins me now live with the latest. ay the snow, the ice, the tornadoes, they're all coming from one storm system? >> from one storm. now, not in the same place. the snow will be in one place. ice will be in another and tornadoes will be down in louisiana. that kind of all spreads itself out. the size, the strength of this storm will go all the way from the dakotas down to houston. one side warm, one side cold. right here, the pink area behind me, jake, this is hard to imagine, 470,000 square miles under winter storm warnings right now. the triple threat, we're calling it, the heavy snow to the north, the ice over parts of arkansas, the severe weather across louisiana, and as that severe weather kind of dies out but stalls, flooding east of there into the southeast. a big storm. this would be the quintessential western movie tonight, "get out of dodge," because dodge city, you are in the middle of a bull's eye. it could be 16 or 18 inches right over you. anywhere west of wichita right through salina and north even into p

and i e-mails chad myers earlier. i said there was a real calm before the storm. didn't have snow. it's like magic chad because it's really started to come down here. take a look at the snowfall now. and i just wanted to let you know that while it's lovely, it's also a real pain in the butt because we're now getting reports of about 26,600 people without power in connecticut. that's sure to get worse. i do want to report something to you. just before you came to us, a number of emergency vehicles went flying by with their sirens on. so i called the connecticut state police and said what's going on. they said apparently a trooper has had an accident on 95. apparently he's okay. minor injuries, but it was enough. an ambulance going by and all the rest tells you if the trooper is getting into an accident, there's a reason there's a state-wide ban on travel. one other thing i have been doing, i have been doing the presidents measurements. as the governor of the state said, this is when it's going to start getting a lot more serious. the snowfall is going to start gett

again, we have another pass in about five minutes, we'll talk to them again. >> chad myers again. this computer was only for communications. this thing never was really going to put the iss in any danger by not working, right? >> no. it's a command and control computer. it's the computer that allows everything else on board the station to work and be monitored and for us to send commands. obviously there's lots of computers on board, lots of redundancy. we do need the ability to bush buttons here in houston and command the station and talk to the crew. that's the computer that allows us to do it. >> okay, josh, appreciate it. thank you. >>> here's more of what we're working on for newsroom international. the royal baby bump. that's right. katherine, duchess of cambridge out in public. everybody wants a picture. they want to see it. >>> later on, hacked by china's army? we'll tell you how they hit everybody from "the new york times" to burger condition that's what some people are saying anyway. that's after the break. nice!

i want to bring in chad myers here as we sit in the weather center. briefly, let's just get a recap on what happened, long island expressway. people trapped. what more do you know? >> if you look at the map behind me, up to new york has 22 inches of snow. this is suffolk county. you talk about islip and all the way to montauk. we knew this area was getting pounded by snow. that's where the slow-down, we know cars were stopped on the freeway, and even the fire department couldn't get them because the snow was so deep. probably because the drifts are so deep. snow mobile was going out to get them. that was from the emergency manager of suffolk county. >> is the worst of this over? >> i think it's close. i think the low pressure is as close to ali as it's going to get. it's almost like when i watch ali and the wind comes and goes, it's almost like watching him in a hurricane where an outer band will come by and the wind will pick up, then the outer band will leave and the wind completely stops. that's what it feels like to me. that low will be close to h

john, i am here as well with our meteorologist chad myers. tell us what you saw. >> good evening, breanna. i originally picked up the tornado as it met out of marion county, mississippi. there was an initial report that came out of their emergency management that the tornado had struck several homes and people. from there i was able to pick it up about ten miles to the west of hattiesburg and tracked it into town. the tornado itself on the west side of the interstate was indeed larger than the eastern side of the interstate. we've been able to go back and look at our video in the last couple of hours since the tornado moved through at about 5:10 p.m. central time. i didn't hear sirens over there but as we moved into the downtown area towards the college campus, those sirens were loud and proud. i also want to give a shout out to the local fire department. as the tornado was paralleling highway 98 and moving into the city, they were out there blocking traffic to keep folks from driving into the tornado as well as there was police on the inters

that is what happened during the blizzard of 1978, let's bring in chad myers. was it harsh? a difference? >> i hope it made a difference, i do. if you go back and look at the tape of any show of the past three days, if the anchor asked me the question, what are you more concerned with? it will be that people will leave too late to get home and they will not be home and they will be stuck in their cars for 24 hours. that was my answer to wolf, to ashlee, any anchor that asked me that question. you know, people get stuck in cars. you have a bit of gas left, you use it to heat. things happen with carbon monoxi monoxide, like we saw in boston. >> that little boy. >> right, you go out to the car you have to clear the exhaust pipe. you are all by yourself, and you are us approximating firefighters, national guard and others in danger getting you. i am glad the governors did what they did. we had a fantastic forecast. >> compared to 1978, those computers were 48 hours in advance. four days for the european model. 48 hours on the forecast, we said, we could have had 24-inch snowfall

let's bring in cnn meteorologist chad myers. right now most of the blizzard warnings have been canceled or they're going to expire soon. is this over? are we finished with this? >> we're finished with the storm itself. there's still snow in cape cod and nova scotia and the maritimes. other than that, this isn't going to go away for weeks. this snow will freeze and thaw and freeze and thaw. the sun will come out, make you snowblind at times. you need to get out there at times and get fresh washer fluid as well because that stuff will fly for weeks on end. get the "cold okay" stuff. don't get the stuff that's going to freeze at 20. make sure it doesn't freeze till maybe 0 degrees out there. yonkers had 23 inches of snow. because there's so much snow on the ground, it will make the temperatures go down to 10 easy. look at milford, connecticut, 30 inches of snow. when you plow it in big piles -- i lived in buffalo a long time, you can still sled in july because the piles they make at the shopping centers are still there. all the way

to bring in chad myers to talk about everything. beginning with the snowball fight, how much fun develop? >> it didn't look like a snowball fight. it looked like a baby powder fight. this no wouldn't packed together. it kind of exploded and that is what we have now. the snow will blow around so even though we will get 24 inches in boston before it stops, you'll never see that. it will be drafted against your car, on your door trying to get out. and then you have all of this stuff you can see, the big thrift, the winds. boston logan airport 76 and that was just in the past -- that was 10:47, an hour and a half ago. the low pressure is getting as close as it ever will to him and that is why the pressure going down and going out and that is why he is feeling what he is. >> the ear popping, how bizarre is that? >> i didn't think it was odd except they all did it at the same time. agf four guys in the truck and they say i felt it, he said it was like 30 seconds apart, that is strange. like you're going down a roller-coaster. landing in a
