everything to hope and expect from the last of human evils. >> the war continued in new england throughout the fall of 1775 as john and abigail pressed for a full declaration of independence. but the march 1776 evacuation of the british army from boston and its movement southward, raised the question how the rest of the american colonies would respond to the military threat. also, the prospect of a new national government sparked a debate between abigail and john on women's rights. >> braintree, march 31st, 1776. i wish you would ever write me a letter half as long as i write you. [laughter] and tell me, if may, where your fleet are gone? what sort of defense virginia can make against our common enemy, whether it so situated as to make an able defense. are not the gentry lords and common people have. assels? are they not like uncivilized natives britain represents us to be? i hope their riflemen who shown themself very savage and bloodthirsty are not a specimen of the generality of the people. i have sometimes been ready to think that the passion for liberty can not be equally strong in th

the duration of this storm, probably two to three days before it clears new england. of weather? it has it all. from rough winds and beach erosion to heavy floofding rains to a mixture of rain and snow, to heavy snow and even blizzard conditions. the unrelenting series of february storms have taxed steps and states already reefling from budget cuts. philadelphia had slammed a season record for snowfall, even before this storm arrived. the step and the rest of pennsylvania are struggling with the cost of repeated storms. >> it is done a devastating job to our city budget. there was no way in the world that we could anticipate this has been the snowiest winter in the history of the city of philadelphia. over 70 inches in the course of this winter, and with upwards of eight anticipated tonight into tomorrow. so it's been rough. >> reporter: is it more difficult for a city like philadelphia face the snow removal during tough budget times? >> service and budget cuts that we've already had to make and en on top of it, 23 1/2 inches in a storm, 28 1/2 inches in another storm

this storm will set the stage for what will happen later in the week and move up toward new england by tuesday into wednesday. make a connection with cold air going on in the arctic and bring it straight down or way. although we're going to be in the 40s for our high the next few days that will change by the middle part of next week. the arctic blast is headed straight toward our area. wednesday will start to feel it more so for the second half of the weekend. as it does, so does the chance for a little bit of snow return around here. more so on thursday. so on the waters right now, northwest winds turning around to the west at about 10 knots coming down for the past few days. tomorrow we're going back up into the 40s. if we hit 44, that'll be our warmest so far this month. still below average. we stay in the 40s for the next few days. some sleet could mix in, then on wednesday 40 but the temperatures start to drop in the afternoon. thursday only hitting highs in the 30s and there is a chance for a little bit of snow. adam? >> thanks. >>> check in with tim and gigi tomorrow for "eyewit

we get for the price of three presidents, we get to new england, iowa, california, texas and virginia. but it's pretty scattered. each comes from a different era and the nation's history, the pre civil war 1840's, 1920's and '30's and 80's and 90's. my thing that they did all have in common was that they each failed to win either renomination and reelection. as presidents of the united states which marks them if not outright failures not the most successful presidents. so the question and, looking back over your works on these prospective people, what was the most underappreciated virtue or virtues of your president? and what was his signal shortcoming or shortcomings? gary. >> i think determination when andrew jackson and learned that tyler had become president t said, god, that imbecile. he's now president. one journalist described tyler as a weeping willow as a character. henry clay said that he -- his greatest shortcoming was he lacked the moral character. it's hard to contest jackson -- >> the one thing that jackson and clay agreed about. >> these people in american history. but

what it's going to do is slowly meander into new england. as it does so, it's going to weaken. it's not as feisty as it was. those 60 mile-an-hour wind gusts have been replaced by 30 mile-an-hour wind gusts. as you see on the radar satellite composite are swirling bands, snow squalls. for most of us, we are looking at another inch, maybe two, maybe three inches of snow, but without the heavy consistency of the snow, without the strong winds, additional power outages are unlikely, except for the trees that give way to the weight of the heavy snow. over the weekend, a slow improvement. however, we've got another one in the pipeline. the storm that's going to impact southern california in the burn areas is going to take a jog with the el nino jet stream across the southern states. we can have more snow down south tuesday, but wednesday and thursday could make its way up the coast. >> refuse to discuss it until we absolutely have to. mike seidel in binghamton, new york. thanks, as always. >>> tonight we are reporting on another storm in new york, as well. this one is political. two

i think it is good for new england. i think it is good for our country.point i want to make is, i believe the election of scott brown gives the president permission to reach out more to republicans, because he can tell the left he has to now. so, i am actually optimistic that it may allow us to proceed on bills that we otherwise would not have. on health care, there is a bipartisan health care bill to be had. there are several provisions in the senate bill that have widespread support. why don't we sit down and enact those provisions? small business tax credits, widespread support, and it would help reduce the number of uninsured americans. the purchase of insurance across state lines. small business pooling. there are many provisions where we could come together. i think the biggest mistake that was made with the health care bill is there is an insufficient focus on costs. it is the high cost of health care, the exploding cost of health care that is the biggest problem, and had that been the focus of the bill, i believe we would have produced better legi
