burlington now at 33 degrees and warm enough now but from portland to maine we get a couple of inches of snow before it changes over to sleet and then rain. the morning commute is going to be rough. all southern areas. from boston to albany and hartford warm enough. just all rain and a lot of warm air. we could get into the 60s today from areas of coastal maryland, delaware and up through new jersey. ridiculously warm once again. but watch a line of showers and storms coming through and that is right now and into the mountainous areas of west virginia and harrisburg and roanoke. d.c. need the umbrella and rimm richmond. tampa you're about to get trenched and during the heart of the morning commute located over the top of i-4. the forecast we do have snow showers up to the northern plains. a little colder today in denver. the east coast, an umbrella that's a look at the national forecast. now here's a look at the weather outside your window. a chance of a thunderstorm this morning in florida. eventually work its way down through southern florida later on today. cooler in areas of the n

little portland, maine, 26 degrees today, there were one, two, three, i think you can see we figuredeople here, maybe more. i'm starting to think the crowds over citizens united today actually rivaled some of the crowds for the south carolina primary. this, for example is the crowd that turned out to hear newt gingrich today. 25 people. so few the gingrich campaign cancelled the speech. here is rick santorum packing them in on the "uss yorktown." mitt romney looks like he got a whopper of a crowd, oh my, until you see the picture buzzfeed posted at the same event. camera angle makes a difference. ron paul faced a giant hangar of empty today in south carolina. because we have also seen sizeable crowds in south carolina today. mitt romney drew several hundred people at one stop, so did newt gingrich in orangeburg. we can maybe conclude that the south carolina primary is sort of a late bloomer? but if you wanted to see a big crowd in south carolina today you have to look to a fake campaign. this is the rally today for comedian stephen colbert and the performance artist formerly known as

especially, why should people watching us far away in portland maine, utica new york, why should theycare? >> really, this book talks about the differences today and when i started. when i started, the newspaper was controlled by families. not all were angels by any means. but they really had a public service mantra and basically no one could ever have put it better than my cools who is a leading member of the family that on the first newspaper he worked for, that domain registered. the only thing the newspaper really has to worry about is that the public respects it. if the public respects it, you will have readers. and if you have readers, you will have advertisers and that is the main source of income and revenue for news papers. so you really have to be respect to by the public to be in a successful business. around the 1960s and 70s, that sort of got turned on its head when the families wanted to get out of the business and started selling off their newspapers. a lot of times they sold them to people of corporations owned by stockholders and the people who are nice corporations h

he resides in portland, maine. we're going to do a question and answer after george's presentation, and if none of you ask him what these tactics that the navy used have to do with today, i'm going to ask, so let's get on it.

adirondacks through vermont, new hampshire, a little bit of light snow, but especially the coast of maine, portland those are the only bad areas. i want to show you pictures before i get to the forecast. one spot yesterday called fulton, new york, they got nailed by an incredible mini band of lake-effect snow. they picked up three feet of snow yesterday. areas to their north picked up nothing, areas to their south picked up pretty much nothing. that's where winter was. let's get back to the forecast. it's looking warm coast to coast. not only warm where you are, they will be in the 60s today in d.c. we're not too jealous of you. just a little bit. >> then why feel quite as bad leaving you up there in the cold. we'll see you back at home soon. or not too soon. turning to sports. two of the best squared off last night as the clippers hosted oklahoma city who has the best record in the nba. the teams combined for 2012 points. we'll just show you two of them. i think you'll agree it's all you need. blake griffin stunned the crowd with this dunk. oh, my goodness. over o over -- his head just about even

po portland, maine, a little bit on the ground. careful driving up i-95 in that location.t d.c., 60 degrees, and as we talk about new hampshire as we go towards primary, the forecast looks perfect up through new hampshire and into two, so it should be a good turnout come tuesday for the voting. as far as the weekend forecast goes, very warm january conditions go. yesterday there were 200 record highs. still looks more like spring than it does middle winter, even saturday, just a little bit of light rain down on the gulf. cloudy and cool conditions and i would say about 95% of the country is going to have another beautiful warm january weekend. it has to end sooner or later. maybe we'll get punished in february. you're watching "morning joe." we're brewed by starbucks. >>> the media works like the jurassic park dinosaurs, 30 feet tall, huge teeth, with all due respect not the biggest brain and follows movement and when it sees movement, rick santorum, stomps over there and tries to eat rick santorum. that's what new hampshire will be like. the happiest guy on tuesday night.
