messy highways in minnesota. high winds and whiteout conditions in north dakota. winter storm watches and warnings from virginia to maine. and there's a severe weather risk tonight. tornado watches and warnings already popping up. as the plows come out, millions of people put the boots back on for what may seem like the umpteenth time. spring officially arrives wednesday and it seems people are more ready than ever. >> it's kind of strange and unusual. >> it's certainly a lot different than it used to be when i was a kid. >> march should not be this cold. >> reporter: but is it that unusual? we looked at the data. for the lower 48, most meteorological winters in the last ten years have been above average. this winter was almost two degrees above average, so not colder, but warmer. and when it comes to tornadoes, last year there were just over 900 confirmed, less than every year since 2003. but the one factor that is definitely more extreme in recent history, drought. at its peak, almost 62% of our country was in drought, reminiscent of the 1930s and the dust bowl.

in minnesota the average debt is $29,000. my wife's family lived on social security survivor benefits. my mother-in-law went to college on the g.i. bill. she got a loan on the g.i. bill. she became a teacher, teaching title 1 kids. because of social security, because of the g.i. bill, my family -- my wife's family was able to just barely get by. they barely made it. sometimes there wasn't enough food on the table, sometimes they turned the phone off, but they made it. and we have people now -- they all made it into the middle class. the ladder was there. we're trying to preserve that. you know, they tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps in this country. sometimes you just need the boots first. the government gave my wife's family the boots. and they're all productive members of our society because of programs. you know, i -- we had a hearing in the help committee, and we had a witness, the republicans called, it was on what creates the middle class. and they called a witness who was from the american enterprise inst

>> i'm a full-blooded ojibway from the minnesota tribe, northern minnesota - like i say, full-blooded native american. i was raised traditional, and i've been in chicago here for 16 months. so it's a big change for me now. >> what brings you down here? >> just a new change of life. i grew up on the reservation in a small community, and i just figured it's time to enjoy the country and meet new people, and i enjoy doing what i'm doing being here today. >> well, we sure appreciate having you here. now we just spoke in our notes, and you had a chance to look at them, about purification rituals, and you mentioned that we might start out our little conversation today with one. in fact, i need to be smudged, i believe. >> yes. >> can we do that? >> sure. >> okay. i'm about to be smudged, and believe me, i need it. you're lighting some sage - we have some aromatic sage here. >> sage and cedar. >> sage and cedar. >> sage means wise; does it not? >> well, it certainly does. >> and you need to get wise. >> i need to get wise here - yeah, that's true. okay. oh, that's - i can smell it already. r

i want people in minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue. we have an imperial presidency.axation without representation was bad. what would they think of representation with taxation? i don't know what's going to happen. this is the crown jewel of socialism. socialized medicine. socialized medicine will kill the country. socialized medicine is the heart and soul and crown jewel of socialism. >> well, the review board may not ultimately deem michele bachmann inappropriate, after three terms in congress, the american public very likely already has. >>> coming up, the women of north dakota fall victim to a campaign to effectively end the right to choose. planned parenthood's cecile richards joins me, coming up next. we're in los angeles with the bing it on challenge to show google users what they've been missing on bing. let's bing it on. [fight bell: ding, ding] how many here are google users? what if i was to tell you that you would actually like bing way more than google when it came to the results? prove it. let's look up some taco places. i like the left side. yeah? okay

for minnesota's middle class. remember, she got a scare back in november. her election, her congressional election was closer than she expected and democrats are hoping to beat her this time. >> we certainly appreciate the response. it doesn't seem to back up the claim, though, that this health care will literally kill women, children and senior citizens. a lot of the things she's claiming right now about the government will be able to select who gets care or not, you could say about insurance companies right now, choosing who gets coverage or not. >> that's a great point. it doesn't back that up. she and other republicans, you know, have argued for years they believe obama care will ultimately mean people will lose their insurance and their health will be in danger. of course, she took that to a whole other level by saying that they would literally be killed, which you're right, she doesn't address in the statement. >> dana, appreciate it. isha is here with the "360" bulletin. >>> u.s. intelligence officials now

history and by the way it in pro improves public safety in my own district of men in minneapolis minnesota in the district surrounding it we had thirty five thirty five fall into the mississippi river an important piece of infrastructure so it's not just jobs and productivity it's also public safety you know we're we're putting the infrastructure portion of our bill in there because the engineers say the civil engineers say that's what we should be doing for a whole number of reasons and so you know this is what our budget is budget is driven by facts now you look at our budget compared to say paul ryan's budget. we talk we show exactly how we get to the seven million jobs in the first year we show what taxes we're going to raise we show what loopholes we're going to close his budget is full of ascaris and all kinds of blanks so we really don't know all of the aspects if in of that budget it's full of holes and i think that it's deliberately vague because he really doesn't want to tell people what he's going to do but i tell you this our budget we will defend it in the where and we're very

it was the constitutional question, should we put it on the ballot and try to write into minnesota law, which ten years later, just about, we voted that down. i'm proud of that. minnesota citizens looked at that again this fall because legislatures did vote to put it on the ballot. it was wrong nine years ago and i think it was still wrong. voting in that circumstance, not just for me, but for our state, i'm hopeful now for our nation that people will recognize we shouldn't be discriminating and have laws on the book that discriminate against our friends, our neighbors and fellow citizens. >> what you did yesterday in minnesota is something i have never seen. it wasn't just a public apology, but you did it in the body you used to work. what was it like to go back in there in that role and tell them what you had to tell them? >> it was very freeing. the emotion came because it literally occurred to me as i sat down, this is a public apology. i was there to say trust me when i tell you that you can vote your conscience and your own compass and be okay. i should have done it. i regretted

you join us from minnesota.cked the state that michele bachmann may have dipped into the wrong fund to pay for someone in her presidential campaign? >> well, it made her -- it gave her a head line, which she hadn't had since earlier in the month when she made announcement about funding for roads in her district, which is really what she would rather talk about right now. you know, she actually is in more trouble in her district than she has been before. almost lost to a democratic challenge erin the last cycle, and they spent no money on that challenger, came within two points of beating her. she's in trouble. i think she's in trouble on a lot of fronts, not just this investigation. >> and sam, these allegations come from within her campaign, the people that are working on her campaign revealing that they believe she did this and fec records are supportive of the story that they're telling, that money came out of her pac to pay one of the consultants that was working on the presidential campaign, and she apparen
