business travelers arriving home to new hampshire from new york say there was no calm before the storm getting out of the city . >> in going from the city to laguardia, the normal 25-30 minutes was an hour and 15 minutes with the traffic and everybody getting there, so it was really quite crowded. >> it was a mess. it was really crowded. we heard one announcement where they were offering $900 back with the hotel for people to get off one of the flights to charlotte. >> wonderful, i' thelma and louise. yes, thelma and louise. they plan to make their great winter escape after the storm passes. >> florida the end of the month. jean: but if you do have flight milne travel says airlines are offering waivers and suggests you be pro-active in shifting your schedule. we' re lucky it's not coming to boston, but its going to be affecting the pattern all the way down the east coast. try to get out earlier, if they can change their plans to get out tomorrow, or maybe after the storm on sunday. jean: it could take days for airlines to get everyone back on track. the good news, saturday is the slowe

in new hampshire that hasn't mattered. why? >> i don't know. you know, here in ohio we have a balanced budget. they don't in over in new jersey. our credit has been strengthened. their credit has been downgraded. we've got more jobs, and then beyond all of that, always the hit is he has a republican legislature. but i was chairman of the budget committee when we balanced the budget, and bill clinton was president. so, i can't explain it to you other than in ohio there's great optimism about the future here both economically and also the sense that everybody has a voice here in the state. why it's happening in new jersey, i don't know. but when you look at the records, you know, frankly ohio's doing one of the fastest growing and strongest states in the country with even rock solid pensions, which most states don't have. and so i guess that's it. >> let me ask you this, a republican strategist said this about your candidacy. i thought it was interesting. he's been trying to be aggressively bipartisan and that's kind of not where the republican el

josh: the panhandling laws in new hampshires biggest city now face a new legal challenge. josh: that sound means we are on the storm watch tonight with a winter weather advisory in effect around the entire state. welcome back, i'm josh mcelveen. jean: i'm jean mackin. right now, you can see it there on our screen. traffic moving through the snow. here's chief meteorologist mike haddad mike: the snow is accumulating in the lakes region. not yet in the manchester area, but that will change in a little while. 32 about a half-hour ago, now down to 31 in the queen city. that means that the snow will begin to stick once it intensifies. elsewhere to the west and north, all below freezing. so a good chance that any steady snow is beginning to accumulate. you'll notice there's quite a gap in the upper valley, but the doppler radar is struggle to each over the hills to the north ask west concord. and that means there is light snow that's not being detected yet. also notice the area of snow blossoming just off to our south, through a good portion of massachusetts moving into central

in new hampshire, an acknowledgment that more candidates view new hampshire as do or die than iowa. and the polling? it's catnip, but be cautious. in our most recent nbc/"wall street journal" poll, donald trump led followed by ted cruz. democratic side hillary clinton ahead of bernie sanders. but beware, look at where we were eight years ago at this eight weeks out, giuliani was way out in front. remember how his presidency turned out? he was doubling the showing of the eventual nominee john and hillary clinton? she had an even bigger lead thooefr illinois senator named barack obama, bigger than one she has over sanders today. in a moment, we'll look at the fight between the two leading candidates, donald trump and hillary clinton, over bill clinton's sexual past and we'll talk to two of the republican candidates making their do-or-die stand in new hampshire. but first, let's go to the centers of the political universe for the next 37 days, new hampshire and iowa and kristen welker and halle jackson are standing by. hallie jackson, we know that it's cruz and trump in iowa. but who e

there are a few flakes trying to reach the ground over southern new hampshire. most of the steady snow is over southern new england. a little piece of this may clip evening. most of the snow we will hear the west. those schools could lower visibility under 1/4 of a mile, most likely predawn through the late morning on monday. temperatures running at seasonable levels. not a big temperature fall overnight. by morning, 20 to 23. they could cool down during the afternoon as frigid air builds in behind the front to the west. storm moving out to sea. a piece of this may work back at new hampshire. we could see enhanced snow at the coast and more squalls up north tomorrow late morning into the afternoon as it tries to dry out in southern new hampshire. here is the timeline for the snow. flurries the next four hours. late tonight and overnight is when the steadier snow will likely develop in many spots. there are some breaks, also scattered squalls that may work heavier snow that may arctic back into southern new hampshire. we will keep that in through 11:00 tomorrow mo

new hampshire to new hampshire. that's why john is here. to iowa. what is the opening he sees there? >> reporter: there's the sense that if he can do better than expected, and i think up over the last couple months, nobody has expected him to make much of a dense in iowa, however he has a group of supporters there that are important, he has close ties with terry bran stestad. the expectations have long been low that that would add momentum coming in just seven days later to this crucial new hampshire contest. again, no expectation he'll wander into iowa and win or wander into iowa and maybe even come in the top two. but if he can do something there to where he comes out of iowa with people saying, hey, chris christie did better there than ever expected, that sends him into new hampshire. a must-win primary there with some momentum. momentum he hopes to translate not just to a top two or three finish but a top finish. >> phil, great to see you. >>> also this morning, donald trump made a little campaign history in trump terms. he actually put out his

in new hampshire the problem is distance for access. that's not the same system we have in new jersey where we have a densely populated state. each state should have the obligation and the ability to decide for themselves. it's closer to the citizens and it respects our constitution. >> obamacare has been a disaster, millions of americans have lost their jobs and been forced into part-time work have lost their health insurance, their doctors, have seen their premiums skyrocket. in new hampshire premiums skyrocketed under obamacare, it's not working. if i'm elected president we'll repeal every bit of obamacare and then pass common sense health care reform that expands insurance personal and portable and affordable. that will begin by allowing people to purchase health insurance across state lines. so we have a true 50 state national marketplace, that will drive down costs and enable people to aafford low cost catastrophic health insurance. second expand health savings accounts, for more routine needs and prevention. and third we'll work t

the optimistic message he has >> no one covers new hampshire >> no one covers new hampshire like we do. now, wmur news 9 tonight. shelley: new hampshire' s opioid crisis was center stage on capitol hill today with the state' s senators and a police chief taking their case to washington. good evening, i' m shelley walcott. tom: i' m tom griffith. news 9 was there as lawmakers listened to how new hampshire is battling the crisis, and finding solutions that could be in place nationwide. as jean mackin shows us, the police chief from the state' s largest city was invited to share his expertise. >> in 2015, we suffered 69 fatal overdoses with this agora and 39% being straight fentanyl. jean: the manchester police chief testified. >> the poison the cocktail is putting on the streets of america is an affront to our way of life. leaving children without parents. >> i can assure you this is hitting every family in some way in new hampshire. jean: new hampshire' s senators were front and center, cosponsors of the comprehensive momentum. senator ayotte shared what she witnessed on a ride-along wi

he is leading 2-1 in new hampshire. at this race, does that republican establishment have to catch him? if they don't catch him in iowa or new hampshire, can they stop him or is this a runaway train? >> a run away train in the sense of the establishment of the republican party has lost touch with a broad part of the base of their own party. they have to understand the rebellion is against them. if you add up all the establishment favorites, they get to about 40%. even if you set aside donald trump, the trump/cruz outsider phenomenon is bigger than what the establishment can handle. i don't think they can catch up. >> i think a lot of those people in that number are independent. that's why you see if bernie sanders was matched against donald trump, sanders would win. the ground game of donald trump is very weak. i think the polling suggests he could win by a margin that includes a lot of people hornet actually going to show up to the polls. his ground game in iowa, they said by november trump's people said we'll have a p

bernie sanders, does he have a shot in new hampshire or iowa? >> i guess. he's from vermont, a new englander. minnesota is new hampshire is a local primary for him. even hillary clinton's campaign said, bernie sanders might win, or he's winning in new hampshire. one of the reasons they'll doing it is setting expectations. chances are, hillary wins iowa, south carolina, wins nevada, runs the table. that's chances, that's polling now. one thing we've seen is that when we bet on what the polling is, we make predictions, they wind up being wrong in the election. >> hillary clinton has said she would know how to deal with north korea after the h hrogen bomb test, whether it was or wasn't. we still need to find out. anyway, she has said that she would deal with north korea and, yet, some people would say, she had the opportunity as secretary of state and failed. >> good luck. you're dealing with a crazy regime in pyongyang. about it, but the best way to deal with north korea is to deal with china. pyongyang respects what beijing says. china isn't going to put up w
