jeff abell is there to tell us why. jeff? >> the problem here, is not so much the falling snow but the drifting snow. the winds have picked up here tonight. the snow is piling up. look at the streets over here in rodgers forge. they are all snow covered tonight. some knee deep in snow. tonight many residents are trying to figure out how to dig the way out. >> it is the snow that simply would not stop. but even with high winds and heavy snow, some residents in rodgers forge refused to be stranded. >> air on the face. i love it. >> but the snow that once measured in inches blew into feet. piling on to roads and giving pedestrians little place to go. >> if a car comes you have to jump on the sidewalk, where there is like lots of feet of snow. and then it is kind of hard. >> spend sore ford dug out in the height of the storm. as manager of the baltimore bay hawk he is he is used to a workout but not this much snow. >> so much of everything. by the time you are out here, first 10 minutes hands hurt, arms hurt. leggs hurt. hard to

jeff abell live in rodgers forge with a look at conditions there tonight. jeff? >>well, we are here at dunbarton middle school. and it is not difficult to understand why county schools are closed for the rest of the week. not only are the roads bad in the community. but you cannot even get to the school. this is the parking lot of dunbarton middle school. not only can you not get a vehicle up here but a person in this area. i want to show you the streets down here in rodgers forge. they are also impassable. this is dunbarton, about 4:00, a plow came through. but since then that's the only activity we have seen. most of the roads have about knee deep of snow coated on them. and we have not seen a car or any vehicle successfully get down any of the streets n quite some time today. for most of the people here, it will be a long hard day tomorrow. of digging out. and it will be a difficult day for the next few days. live in rodgers forge, jeff abell, fox 45 news at "late edition". >> all right jeff thank you. >> a phase 3 snow emergency is now in effect in baltimore

jeff zucker and mr. roberts testified there also appear in anything that came out of that that was different than the house hearing? >> guest: i think the main take away was that you don't want to mess with al franken because he was incredibly upset with nbc, he's a former nbc employee on saturday night live for 20 years as a writer or performer, and he really put the women on both brian roberts and jeff zucker during the hearing. boast of the issues you're talking about program access also program carriage which is a different thing, these things get technical and he got into it in argument with brian roberts training hearing about some of the issues, it was fun to watch but i think the bottom line here is one of the things that comcast is running up against across the board is as part of anything they've said they will do in this deal is a we will abide by the law and trust us and the public best interest. the problem is a lot of people don't trust them. >> host: joelle tessler, was a significant that

jeff abell is in rodgers forge with that part of the story. jeff? >> the snow is accumulating faster than road crews can remove it. here in rodgers forge where already mountains of old snow lines the streets. now all of this new snow is swallowing what little space is left. >> we do apologize for the impact that we have been having on traffic. but quite frankly we have had no choice but to be going 24 hours a day, trying to push the snow back. because we have to create some room, for the snow that we will be getting tonight. to be able to store it. >> now, the state has already called in front-end loaders from other states to help remove this snow. but state leaders are warning, this will be a very slow and tedious process. we're live in rodgers forge, jeff abell, fox 45 news at 10:00. >> mother nature is wreaking havoc on the area again. how this i love winter. with my subaru forester and its all-wheel drive... ... handling even the toughest conditions... is just another day at the beach.

well,, jeff, i am here along boston street in canton. where you can see the road is covered in snow. we saw a snow plow plow go through here about 10 minutes ago. so the roads are actually still passable throughout the area here in canton. but boston street is like a lot of streets across the city, that are considered snow emergency routes. earlier today, the city officials announced that all vehicles need to be removed from any snow emergency route, so that snow plows can get through the streets and remove the snow. but plows are not the only thing that are going to be out on the road. the national guard actually will have their humvees out to help fire, city fire, and police, respond to any emergencies. >> we cannot moo new years eve around in the cars or trucks we have, so officers are out on foot wherever they can. >> and going back to those snow emergency routes. if your car is parked along one of the routes, it is at-risk of being ticketed or towed. the city has set up areas where you can take your car, to park it free of charge. a

. >> well, jeff, you know what, we don't have enough to do the job. not right now. not today. the state is running out. and here is the problem. you see mounds of snow like this. where are they going to move it and how do they keep the streets clean? what is happening now is after last weekend's big snow storm. the state is running out of salt. the state started with 350,000 tons of salt and now workers have less than half of that to work with. officials say they have started to pull salt from areas that don't need it. like eastern shore. but that will not be enough to solve the problem.

hours after that exchange, boxy actually came out with a statement said, wow, we don't know where jeff zucker came up with that because they said basically, look, we're not illegally taking hulu and having it over devices and for people who don't use boxy. it's a program that you can have on your pc and it allows you -- if you put some cables in your laptop and you put -- pop them into your digital tv you can watch streaming video that you would normally watch on a pc you could watch it on tv and hulu had been blocked off boxy for a while. and after that exchange boxy came out with a statement, wow, we would love to talk to hulu about this and we would love to not have this problem. but -- and it's right that hulu management had had some problems with boxy but hulu's management said it was because of nbc. and so they basically said in their statement, wow, you know, we would love to talk to jeff zucker going to a licensing deal for this. if he says he's going to do it now, okay, we'll try. but it was a really interesting exchange. and it's one that's going to keep coming up because thi

Ñi>> on jeff's comments, i agree with justice scalia, but i did not know about the leto. revokes the administration, they will pay a price, that is the lesson of various books, that the court will ultimately deferred back, but i want to push a little on that, because i do not think you struggled sufficiently with this point in the book. we have a point that refers to this court, and is that preferable to a judicial supremacist court? what do we get out of that? why do we have record? >> it is not only a terrific question, but the right question. i try to say this at the end of the book, which is as you read your way through american history, people attacked the court and say, you know, what do we do about this court, and there is tremendous anxiety about an undemocratic court. here we are in democracy, but you do not vote for dark axises -- justices. we are stuck with them. people get upset about this, and this is precisely what is britain, to say that this is the wrong word, and the truth of the matter is we have ways of getting to the court and the court is responsive.
