jfk, la guardia, newark. you are all well over an hour here. teterboro, ground delays.ver an hour delay. white plains, over two hours. tv, looking at about 40-minute delays. a lot of people not so happy watching in the airport today. snowfall totals continue to stay heaviest along i-95 and west of there, parts of maine. the winds are the big issue farther on down to the south. new york city, towards philadelphia. and down into washington, d.c. wind speeds in the teens here. however, we are getting gustswhelm beyond that. still up to 30 miles per hour. we are expecting those advisories to be expiring at 6:00 eastern time. those cold winds blowing over the warmer lake waters. lake-effect snows have been a huge issue here. picture i want to show you here out of buffalo, new york. look at this. wow. talk about a winter wonderland. had you about 6 1/2 inches of snowfall yesterday. and those numbers are going to continue to add up throughout the rest of the yeah in an and evening. we think the worst of the heavy snow bands has blown through buffalo but several inches can be e

down to below zero in most areas and those winds will cause big problems at the airports, logan to la guardia to philadelphia international. expect more delays. some of those could be extensive. jenna, it's going to stay cold, below average most of the week but not as cold as international falls. this morning for the second morning in a row, a record low. without the windchill, 37 below 0. suddenly i feel warmer. back to you. >> you don't look any warmer. thanks for braving the elements for us. >>> janice is upstairs with where the storm is headed and what we can expect today. >> good morning. as you can see this cold weather is no joke that's taking place from the northeast all the way back to the upper midwest. these are the current temperatures right now around buffalo, plattsburgh, it's 9 degrees. it's 18 here in new york city. but across the northern plains and upper midwest, the temperature, the thermometer reading without the wind is minus 34 in international falls. now, with the wind it feels even colder, of course. not much wind right now around international falls but the windchill

one not try and also, i drove to jfk, la guardia, newark as a chauffeur.stand there and wait for people. i don't see any way someone could just walk right in to a plane without being checked. guest: with regard to afghanistan we don't have a watch towers. we have something they call fire bases which are protected, but the fact is this is an armed conflict. i don't know of any armed conflict where there will not be casualties. the enemy gets to shoot too. men inside those fire bases are not really doing their job unless they can get out among the people. this is not simply about sitting inside bunkers and calling in air strikes. we cannot do it that way. ultimately, we're going to have to enlist the afghans. you mentioned a frontier. fghans -- particularly those tribes along the pakistan-afghan frontier -- and enlist them in the defense of their own country. otherwise, we are going to take on an imperial mission that is going to put us in afghanistan for the foreseeable future host. host: spain is improving the acceptance of two guantanamo prisoners. what i
