eric fisher is chief meteorologist at our cbs station in boston, wbz. eric, how do things look right now? >> reporter: scott, the snow is coming down fast and furious. it started earlier on this afternoon, it will stack up quickly, snowfall rates at one to two inches per hour. we are not alone here in southeastern, massachusetts. look at significant snow totals anywhere from here in southern new england down through new york city. many seeing six to 12 inches of snow there. four to eight down to d.c., their biggest snowstorm in several years. we have to gek go back to 2007 to see a snowstorm on the mall. and snow extending to north carolina with this one, scott. >> pelley: what do you expect is coming next? >> the cold is the big story. we go forward through the rest of this month and the start of february, even just storm we've got subzero highs across the upper midwest, teens as far south as tennessee and the pattern for the rest of this month, this is going to be one that's stuck for a long time, the jet stream carving out the big trough in the central and eastern united states and the extended period of temperatures 10 to 30 degrees below average. scott, going along with that cold we could be in for an awfully stormy pattern as well. >> pelley: when do you think we'll see relief from the cold? >> reporter: you want me to say springtime? it will be a while, certainly. the mild air stays in the west. it might be early to mid-february before we get another big break. >> pelley: springtime is a safe bet. eric fisher of wbz. eric, thank you very much. the entire state of minnesota was below zero this morning. jamie judge kas is with our cbs station wcco in minneapolis/st. paul. >> reporter: they're calling this latest arctic blast the son of polar vortex. it was 13 below overnight here and never made it above zero today. the mercury has gone below zero 12 of the last 21 days in minneapolis. the bitter cold has forced propane prices to a 20-year high in minnesota and created spot shortages around the country. some seven million american households-- mostly in rural areas-- depend on propane for heat. three waves of freezing air are forecast to wash across the central united states in the coming days. the forecast high here for thursday's opening of st. paul's famous winter carnival? billed as the coolest celebration on earth, it's minus one. scott, the windchill in minneapolis this morning was near 30 degrees below zero. that means exposed skin like your face feels like is getting a really b

eric fisher is our chief meteorologist at wbz, our cbs station in boston. eric, this time around, what's behind the cold air mass? >> you know, scott, i feel like we've had a lot of these conversation this winter. it's been so persistent. the polar jet stream taking another big deep across the central and eastern u.s. and this time around all the way down to the gulf coast. this will drag extremely cold air down to the shores of alabama, mississippi, and florida, scott. >> pelley: and we have cases of -- we have storm warnings up from galveston all the way around the gulf. how big is that storm going to be? >> this is going to be a pretty significant storm by southern standards. this is a map you won't see many times in a lifetime. winter storm warnings from houston to new orleans over toward pensacola and reaching up through the carolinas, southern states that don't have a lot of infrastructure to deal with ice and sleet and snow and that's what's in the forecast. this begins tomorrow. we'll be breaking out lit icing and snowfalls as we head through the day, including new orleans and reaching toward the southern suburbs of atlanta. it's tomorrow night into wednesday morning. snow, sleet, freezing rain all moving through. this can be quite significant in parts of the carolinas before it all wraps up heading into wednesday morning. so how much snow? well, one to three inches of snow for many but keep in mind freezing rain and sleet, as much as three to six inches in the carolinas. scott, maybe some folks seeing more than a half foot of snow. >> pelley: eric fisher with wbz. eric, thanks a lot. we were curious how the weather is hitting the economy so we called the economists over at moody's analytics. they told us the frigid temperatures slowed the growth in employment between 60,000 and 75,000 jobs. of that, 25,000 would have been construction jobs, as you might expect. jobs will be a theme in the president's state of the union address tomorrow. he's expected to say that he will bypass congress if necessary and use executive powers to bring relief to the long-term unemployment. there's a debate right now between democrats and republicans over whether extending unemployment benefits encourages people to stay unemployed. nancy cordes went to north carolina to see that debate in action. >> medical assistant in raleigh, you okay with that one? >> yes. >> reporter: at this unemployment office in raleigh, there's a new sense of urgency for job seekers. job counselor larry campbell sees it everyday. >> i've had people say "i'll take anything j

eric >> good afternoon, commissioners eric san francisco green party. first a little bit of good news and an important observation minnesota just beat out fossil futile i foul electric on price and australia just beat coal and in sonoma county they're going to introduce a foul that's cleaner than pg&es dirty power. its not just efficiency it's renewables that are an opportunity not a liability. so, now with regards to the hetch hetchy system and the climate crisis. we could be facing a 10 year drought or a permanent drought that's a real possibility. if we're going to lose itch of the generation policy of the house/senate system we better take those opportunities i've talked about and start rapid building large amaze of other renewables to have a reliable power source to sell power to our customers we'll be able to sell cheaper than pg&e. mentioning the climate crisis regardless of the fact there's an opportunity and not a liability we can't be balancing budget in the 21st century on the fragile back of the earth's atmosphere. if you listen to what scientists are saying scientists never want to make alarming statement to the public are now making alarming statement talking about possible collapse of human civilization within this century or by the end of it at least. and that means that both because of renewables are an opportunity and because we're facing the end of out of civilization we can't be cuttingy newable energy programs we need to be vastly increasing them and to cut them instead is like what the federal government is doing right now with things like informed staples and contemplating social security those are things that gives us more opportunity. we need to fully fund sf and not cut it. in the document that was presented that we - this hadn't been discussed a program that's far less expensive will give us hundreds of kilowatts n is in sf and staff is ready to put that to the side. you should know that they're getting rode to do an rfp. and that means we need you to direct our staff to likewise work with them so your department is ready to take part in clean sf and what i would say even though go solar sf and clean power sf is stand alone program and didn't effect our hetch hetchy budget the reality is if we start a about how many putting huge amounts of workings to work for the next decade we are going to create economies of scale with which the hetch hetchy enterprise can also build out at the same time lots of renewables and like i said at the beginning can develop a replacement electrical source in case hetch hetchy is not going to be book on the line >> thank you eric. >> francis 0 please. good afternoon. >> good morning and happy new year to all of you. my strengthens working inform the department of defense was in infrastructure. so i hear this long budget description and i would like to notify each and everyone of you who care for this city to go back to the regular act and to see at that time, what was destined in water and power for san francisco. as as opposed to what triefrd in the decade. the big businesses that have money they will and your commissioners, if you all have any standards, be ethics, morals you all know that sometimes you can't say much because of politics. now realistically speaking how many million dollars of globulins of clean water of hetch hetchy a leaks into our ground. we need to have the technology to monitor our pipes to get realtime results to find out about how many millions of gallons of clean water leaks into our ground and effects our watershed. now having said that, that we don't know how many people work for pu

(laughter) >> brain science is alive! >> rose: you gave us a great moment. tell me about what led you to this because not only did you write but you were the a guinea pig. >> we've been thinking that -- we covered a vances, news stories and neuroscience often but we have been thinking as many people have, as you have that we ought to do it in a little more systematic way and so a while ago my editor asked me to start looking not so much into treatment and some of the sort of applied research but into the nitty-gritty. how neurons connect, what's going on in basic brain science. it's thoofb's a huge -- the technology is changing, the money is flowing into it. there's a lot of xhiplt and around the same time that we were getting going president obama announced an initiative, a grand challenge so we thought how are the ways we're going to look at this? and one of the big challenges is that trying to cope with neuroscience is like -- >> rose: tell me about it. >> it feels bigger than universe. so all we could do is do a sampling of some of the projects and we thought let's start out with mapping. it's not -- it's not everything but it serves as kind of a foundation. let's talk to some of the people trying to map the brain in different ways. and the question was whether we were going to start at the level of the electron microscope very small or the level of the whole human brain and that's something people relate to immediately because they have one. >> rose: so we know about the mapping, eric, of the human genome. now we talk about the mapping. give me your sense as a neuroscientist of the significance of the things that he reported on. >> >> i think the difference of this is several fold. one is we want to understand how the human brain works and the key to understanding is that is how the different components interact. many people have been looking at this from a variety of perspectives through imaging studies. this particular study moves it forward in the following way: one is it is very systematic. it doesn't take the three of us, it takes 1,200 odd people, number one. number two, these are people from normal walks of life. men, women, baseball players, academics. >> rose: who have their brains skand. >> who have their brains scanned and deena is going about this in a very systematic way. she wants, as jim pointed out in this article today, to work out in general the connectivity of the brain and she's doing this by doing four studies. someone she just wants to see fun

eric holder, the attorney general. there's actually a video message from eric holder, and we hope to bring you that as soon as we can here on cnn. so sort of a remarkable thing that eric holder would do this. but basically, what department of justice is saying is that the federal government will recognize those roughly 1,300 same-sex marriages performed in utah when they had this period essentially when a federal judge last month decided that the utah ban on same-sex marriages was not valid. same-sex marriages started to occur in that state and so you have roughly about 1,300 couples who were in this period of uncertainty right now, where they were married, but their own state is not recognizing those marriages. in part because the state said no, we're going to appeal this. and then the supreme court issued a stay, essentially siding with the state of utah and putting those marriages on hold. and so what the federal government is saying at this point, no, we are siding with these same-sex couples, and we're going to recognize them from a federal standpoint until all of this is resolved at the supreme court. so another round being fired off in this battle over same-sex

eric shawn live in new york, eric, thanks. let's focus now on how this affects governor christie's presidential potential. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel has that part of the story tonight. >> i am responsible for what happened. i am sad to report to the people of new jersey that we fell short. >> reporter: did chris christie fall short in the eyes of those who think he has a political future as a presidential candidate. >> i am enormously flattered that folks would talk about me in my party as someone who they think could be a candidate for president but i'm absolutely nowhere near beginning that consideration process. >> former obama white house senior adviser david ax rodd tweeted he handled it about as well as he could, unless a smoking gun turns up tying him to schemes or others involved he lives another day and john boehner was asked if he thought christie could remain a top 2016 republican candidate. >> i think so, i think so. >> reporter: if he runs christie, already facing criticism for a chummy relationship with president obama ann r after hurricane sandy can expect ads on this controversy from fellow gop candidates. part of the likely response should be this shouldn't be a fatal mistake. >> we're really talking about will fellow republicans view this, as, you know, a one-time strange event, or do they see this as indicative of a deep flaw in him. >> reporter: and sok some experts say christie's handling of this matter could actually help him with 2016 voters. >> they want to know that the person they pick will be able to withstand withering fire because every candidacy an every has crisis after crisis. you don't want somebody who won't fold. christie did not only fold he did a superb job in the press conference. >> reporter: if he runs he'll do so without his former campaign manager and lost those he's comfortable with as well as experience of insiders. however, all agreed the governor had to decide decisively and strongly. >> let's get more on now how governor christie is handling the situation today from senior analyst brit human. >> hello there, bret. chris christie may not have put the worst of the traffic scandal behind him but he's certainly followed the playbook by those long advised on how to quell a firestorm. find out all you can as fast as you can. that's how christie spent yesterday. second you take action including dealing decisively with those responsible for the misconduct and apologize without reservation and take all questions. no matter what your defenders may say about the wrongdoing, you don't try to minimize it which is what christie seemed to be doing until today. this may have been a four-day traffic jam on to a bridge in new jersey, but this is no ordinary bridge. the george washington is the most trafficked in the world, and it's part of interstate 95, the main north-south artery of the east coast. millions of americans who don't live anywhere near new jersey or new jersey have traveled across that bridge and few can forget what an unpleasant trip it is when traffic is light, which is almost never is so this is a scandal many, many people can imagine easily affecting them. the verdict on christie's handling of it after the deadly e-mail surfaced yesterday would be so far so good. how good depends on the final and most important tenet of all scandal management. tell the truth. if you do, these things usually blow over. if not, they don't. bret? >> is one of the things that draws people to this and potentially why it's so devastating is because the power of government, the fact that the deputy chief of staff, even if he didn't know could write an e-mail and could do that, pretty astonishing. >> we learned in the irs scandal s that people in the bowels of government can affect people in a very clear way. they get that, and they get this, too. a young woman with her sort of preppie look and string of pearls with the matching earrings, that that person could pick up the phone or whatever she did to trigger this and cause this mess for four days in that city in ft. lee, new jersey, is really kind of a painful reminder of what government can do. it can mess your life up. >> and obviously we don't know all the ins and outs yet, but this investigation is continuing. >> it is, indeed, and one guy takes the fifth today. you don't want guys taking the fifth associated with you. doesn't help. >> okay. brit, thank you. >>> up next, is president obama about to change how the nsa tries to keep america safe? but first here's what some of our fox affiliates across the country are covering tonight. fox 13 in tampa with a new smart home for a wounded vet. sergeant michael nicholson lost both of his legs and an arm in afghanistan. his new house is equipped with sections that lower to accommodate access from his wheelchair. >>> fox 13 in salt lake city with the aclu announcement that it will file a lawsuit against the state of utah for refusing to recognize same-sex marriages performed there in recent weeks. >>> and this is a live look at los angeles from our fox affiliate there, kttv. the big story there tonight, the trial of two police officers accused of fatally beating a homeless man now goes to jury. that's tonight's live look outside the beltway from "special report." we'll be right back. check it out. i can't believe your mom has a mom cave! today i have new campbell's chuy spicy chicken quesadilla soup. she gives me chunky before every game. i'm very souperstitious. haha, that's a good one! haha! [ male announcer ] campbell's chunky soup. it fills you up right.

sharon is said to be in grave condition, his health deteriorating sharply today. the 58-year-old sharon has been in a coma since suffering a stroke eight years ago. house speaker john boehner wants president obama to get more involved in iraq but says it's not time to send american troops back in. al qaeda-linked militants have taken over the cities of fallujah and ramadi. today a suicide bomber attacked a military recruiting center in baghdad killing at least 21 people. boehner says the president needs to do something. >> we need to get equipment to the iraqis and other services that would help them battle this counterterrorism effort that they are attempting to do. things that we can do to help the iraqis that do not involve putting u.s. troops on the ground. >> just a few minutes ago on the senate floor, democrat carl levin defended the president saying it's wrong to blame him for bad decisions by iraq's leaders. afghanistan's president is poking another finger in the eye of president obama and the u.s. hamid karzai has ordered the release of all but 16 prisoners from a group of 88 that the u.s. say pose a threat to the country and the region. last week a group of u.s. senators warned karzai that such a move would be a major accept backwards in relations between the two countries. >>> president obama is meeting with power players in congress and the intelligence community this week as he mulls changes in the way the nsa obtains information. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge on just how bad the initial leaking of those secrets is turning out to be. >> reporter: a classified report from the defense intelligence agency concludes that nsa leaker edward snowden downloaded 1.7 million intelligence files and described by the house and intelligence committee leadership as, quote, the single largest theft of secrets in the history of the united states. most. documents relate to u.s. military operations and the public exposure is having negative consequences, quote, snowden's acts of betrayal clearly police america's military men and women in greater danger around the world. the findings came to light as 16 lawmakers, including the leadership of the intelligence and judiciary committees went to the white house. the administration barred media access and no photo was provided of the meeting. participants described an intense discussion with both the vice president and mr. obama. >> he didn't just come in and make a couple of supportive statements and disappear. he was with us for 45 minutes. >> it is incumbent upon the president to exercise leadership and i think he will. >> reporter: sources familiar with the white house review believe that the president is strongly considering steps to rein in the surveillance of foreign leaders and access to americans' phone records. white house spokesman jay carney. >> he is still soliciting input which he did today. >> reporter: before the session a leading nsa critic said there is no justification for the status quo. >> the government argument for this very expansionary version of collecting essentially millions of records on law-abiding americans is falling apa apart. >> reporter: the president is expected to address nsa reform as early as next week. today both democrats and republicans said there needs to be democratic input and mr. obama's reforms will not be the final word on the nsa. >> thank you. now to a followup on a prime suspect in the benghazi terror attack. it comes in the wake of a much publicized story that tried to discredit theories about an obama administration cover-up, theories that are gaining traction with the public. one new poll says 52% of those surveyed believe the administration deliberately misled the country over benghazi. here is fox news media analyst and host of fox's "media buzz" howard kurtz. >> reporter: when a "new york times" investigation concluded that the libyan militants had no affiliation with al qaeda or other terrorist groups, it was big news just about everywhere. >> breaking news. a bombshell report in the "new york times." it could change the debate over the deadly attack on americans in benghazi, libya >> they are purely local people their pasts are known, who they hung out with prison, who their associations are. there's no chance that this was an al qaeda attack. >> reporter: the "times" report was an ambitious effort but it left out the pentagon's assessment that the local extremist group ansar al sharia had terrorist ties. on that score the story backed obama administration officials who blame the attack largely on reaction to an american-made video denigrating islam. but a curious thing happened this week when the "washington post" reported that u.s. officials suspect a former detainee at guantanamo bay played a role in the beingsy attack and that they planned to designate his group, part of the same ansar outfit described at length in "the times" as a foreign terrorist organization but a media establishment that pounced on the "new york times" investigation showed little interest in this information. there were few mentions in other news outlets. fox news, which has aggressively pursued the benghazi story, identified the former gitmo prisoner as a suspect 16 months ago. >> the terrorist designation further weakens the reporting of the "new york times" which concluded no evidence of al qaeda involvement. >> reporter: even "the times" had to report today that the administration will stamp the terrorist label on acmad katalah, the militant interviewed by the newspapers, as a prime suspect in the attack. benghazi has been a difficult puzzle for much of the media and the "washington post" story which the paper didn't put on page one is just one piece, but it's a potentially important piece that seems to have been largely dismissed by the mainstream media. bret? >> howie, thank you. >>> the indian diplomat strip-stepped after her arrest on fraud charges has been indicted in new york city. she is accused of fraudulently obtaining a work visa for her housekeeper. prosecutors say she's been given immunity and left the country, but her lawyer says she's still here. her treatment ignited a series of punitive moves by the indian government against american diplomats. >>> still ahead, is the obama administration putting a fox in charge of the hen house? we'll explain. first, a lot of obamacare supporters may owe an apology to walmart. [ male announcer ] here's a question for you: where does the united states get most of its energy? is it africa? the middle east? canada? or the u.s.? the answer is... the u.s. ♪ most of america's energy comes from right here at home. take the energy quiz. energy lives here. take the energy quiz. that it's given me time toabout reflect on some of life'seen biggest questions. like, if you could save hundreds on car insurance by making one simple call, why wouldn't you make that call?

>> ed henry live on the north lawn, thank you. >>> the dow lost 18 today. the s&p 500 was up a fraction. the nasdaq lost 9. >>> walmart has been a political punching bag for democrats for years, most recently over its health care coverage for employees. now it turns out the walmart plan may actually be better than obamacare. correspondent shannon bream looks at the evidence. >> the fact is that walmart very generously subsidizes health coverage for their employees and their families. >> reporter: and according to one new analysis it's much more affordable than obamacare. that conclusion from the "washington examiner" comes following calls of strikes and unionization after accusations that the retailer provides its employees inconsiderable benefits with health plans, quote, too expensive. independent insurance agents were tasked with comparing the options and here's one example of what they found. an average 30-year-old woman could pay a $205 for a non-subsidized obamacare plan. the same woman would pay $40 a month for a similar walmart plan. a spokeswoman for the department of health and human services responds, that quote, the marketplace gives americans who don't have access to health care through work a chance to enroll in quality affordable coverage. in the new marketplace consumers can compare a wide range of plans to find one that meets their needs, but critics of obamacare say health care plans and actual access to care are two different things. "the examiner" analysis found the walmart plans' doctor and hospital networks far superior through those offered through the obamacare exchanges. >> because those exchange plans don't give you access to the centers of excellent like the mayo clinic, the cleveland clinic, many of the academic medical centers around the country where if you're seriously ill it may be the only place that can really help you. >> reporter: independent insurance agent in the president's hometown says the difference in chicago is substantial. roughly 9,800 doctors in the obamacare networks compared to nearly 25,000 through walmart's plans. the data could be even more relevant given the fact that by the administration's own estimate nearly 80 million people who are now on employer-sponsored plans could lose that coverage when the now delayed employer mandate kicks in. bret? >> shannon, thank you. >>> another step this afternoon in the privatization of the space program. an unmanned rocket carrying supplies for the international space station was launched from cape canaveral. a private company go from virginia was initially supposed to send the payload last month, but problems on the station and with the weather forced a delay. >>> putting some common sense into zero tolerance, and busting dirty ex-cops accused of stealing millions in disability funds. the grapevine is next. there's a saying around here, you stand behind what you say. around here you don't make excuses. you make commitments. and when you can't live up to them, you own up, and make it right. so people think the kind of accountability has gone missing in e placesets where it's needemost. but i know you'll still find it when you know where to look. and our giant idaho potato truck is still missing. so my dog and i we're going to go find it. it's out there somewhere spreading the good word about idaho potatoes and raising money for meals on wheels. but we'd really like our truck back, so if you see it, let us know, would you?

>> his response to those questions was i don't know, i don't know, i don't know so when you view it all in context, the head of the fbi couldn't even tell us when this investigation started and what was going on, and now we find out this is the person who gave $7,000 to the obama re-election campaign. come on. >> reporter: her name is barbara bosserman. she is a career lawyer in the doj civil rights division with the expertise in prosecuting hate crimes. she donated $6,750 in 12 didn't contributions for obama for america and two other contributions to the democratic national committee. the administration did not divulge this apparent conflict of interest. >> they refuse to answer so as we were interviewing irs officials we asked them who is working with you from justice, and her name kept coming up so we did a little checking. >> reporter: in a statement doj told fox news it did not and cannot question appointees about political leanings. any employ who has authority to take personnel action shall not discriminate on the basis of political affiliation. in a letter to attorney general ericolder yesterday issa and jordan demanded to know how she was appointed, also that she be removed and that holder remedy the damage she may have caused. they want an answer by january 22nd. bret?

eric shawn live in trenton, new jersey. eric, what should we expect to hear 30 minutes from now. >> the governor according to remarks released by his office will praise politics in a bipartisan manner. he'll discuss education reform, property taxes. you know, state of the state speeches usually pretty predictable and our chance for chief executives to lay out legislative agenda for the coming year. this is no typical year in new jersey. he'll be facing overwhelmingly democratic legislature that established two separate committees to investigate bridge scandal, both in the assembly and state senate. some assembly members want criminal charges against this man, david wildstein. this week we expect subpoenas to two former close christie aides, former campaign manager, who helped guide his political ascension as well as bridget anne kelly, now fired deputy chief of staff. it was her e-mails and text that tied the administration of the bridge closings. some here wonder if she will take the fifth, too. >> i have no idea what bridget kelly is going to do. her e-mails were sickening to me and a clear abuse of power. he was right to terminate her. whatever she does, we'll find out soon. >> we know by the e-mails they are troublesome. investigation is necessary. no doubt about it. what i don't want to see is a political environment exist as opposed to an investigatory environment. when you see law enforcement do it, many times it's not political. when you see state house politicians do it, you have to be very careful. >> the governor claimed first found out about it last week. his staff involved when he read about it in the newspapers. steve sweeney, senate president and democrat says it's not fair to jump to conclusions as far as t government's potential role investigations will go their way step by step. investigations start in full swing thursday. we're waiting for the governor half an hour from now to speak. we'll bring some of those remarks live. gretchen. >> we will await that. thank you so much, eric. we are awaiting a major hearing on nsa spying scandal. this is a live look where that's going to take place in d.c. so what sweeping reforms could be headed to the agency to protect your privacy? don't consider yourself religious but do you still believe in god? you're not the only one. our faith panel is here to discuss the next big political demographic. not religious but spiritual. hi, faith panel. male announcer ] alka-seltze plus presents thcold truth. i have the flu, i took medicine bui still have symptoms.
