that was roker's point. we got 9.5 inches of snow when 6 was predicted. de blasio was right, it was a little bit worse than expected. the fact that gets me the most. all right. you send the kids to school. why did you release them early. it was 35 degrees and raining and the roads were improving. parents were already at work. if anyone wants to be really angry, what was that call about? it made no sense. >> a lot of parents said, you know what, kids, you are not going today. >> 44% of the kids showed up. i have two people in my family are public school teachers in new york city. they said 44% was generous. >> bill, thanks so much. >>> in the aftermath of the george washington bridge scandal, governor chris christie is finding out oucften where hi support does and does not exist. iowa governor, terry branstat says any republican governor is welcome. going as far as to say, a governor should be the party's next nominee. he offered christie an unsolicited piece of advice. i think he is a real good retail pol is

that was just the beginning of what al roker had to say about the mayor. cnn's zain asher is outside new york city tonight, and there is more snow coming this way. we were looking at those live pictures of washington. that snow looked really intense. >> reporter: hi, erin. yes, for the time being, the skies have actually held up, for the time being, but i did actually bump into a new york city public schoolteacher that lives right around here. she told me that she made the very difficult decision to stay home tonight, today, partly because she wanted to avoid the sort of commute that we had, which is basically icy roads, slush, and a commute that took twice as long. it's a routine new yorkers know all too well. snow becomes rain, rain becomes slush, and slush becomes the commute from hell. >> you don't need to be in your car, don't use your car. >> reporter: by early this afternoon, more than 10 inches of snow had blanketed the city. >> it's pretty miserable, especially on the side streets. >> reporter: this time, it came sooner, lasted longer, fell harder

do most new yorkers share al roker's anger?ocal new yorkers share al roker's anger. if you look at the comments on the facebook page and my own feed and most people agree with al roker that the schools should be closed. we have been talking about this all day. for those families who had to go to work who had no option to take care of the children if schools were closed, i would think those families may be a majority of school families and the city would support the decision. they may not be the most vocal going on facebook. >> we are hearing about al roker and the mayor. there were a lot of kids who live in my building. i didn't hear one family complaining. >> at the news conference, talking about this stat. snow days. >> since 1978. >> that puts it into perspective and today did not seem like one of the days for the working family who is had to get to school. >> as we look around. we can see a lot of the tourists had rush hour. you can see people are getting around and the people there are shoveling the snow. i am seeing buses

when asked about al roker he hit back hard. >> i respect al roker a lot. watched him on tv for many, many years. it's a different thing to run a city than to give the weather on tv. so i am comfortable with our decision making, and we just got off the phone with the national weather service. again i respect all the meteorologists out there. but the one i respect the most is called the national weather service. and this did -- and they just affirmed to us on the call before we came out to you that this went faster and heavier than their projections last night. that happens. it's weather. none of us controls it. our job is to adjust and respond to it. >> you don't pick a fight with al roker. you don't pick a fight with the national weather service. al roker tweeted "mr. mayor, i could never run nyc but i know when it's time to keep kids home from school." hopefully they can make up some points. let us know what you think about this al roker-bill deblasio. tweet us at #ac360. >>> planes, trains, automobiles. the winter mess edition. if you're hoping to fly in

as i mentioned, al roker here with us working the evening shift tonight. did someone say a foot of snow in washington, d.c. by friday night? >> it's very possible, brian, once this thing gets finished with the south. in the meantime, we're looking at brutal conditions. from dallas/ft. worth all the way up to new england, we have a wide swath of ice storm warnings from atlanta into south carolina. and this winter storm watch and warnings all the way up into new england. here's what we have setting up. basically, we've look looking at low pressure developing along the stationary front. both double barrel low in the gulf and cold out of the north. and along that battle line, we're seeing ice already. south carolina, some places already picking up a third of an inch of ice. this ice mixture will continue. so here is what we're looking for as far as accumulations. and this is critical. look at this between atlanta and macon, up to 2 inches of ice. it extends all the way down through central georgia on into the carolinas. continues up into south carolina. this i

this is what the mayor actually said about al roker. it's quite interesting his excuse. >> i respect al roker a lot. watched him on tv for many, many years. it's a different thing to run a city than to give the weather on tv. >> yes. a bit of a dig there at tv weathermen, i guess in general. he says he gets all his stuff from the national weather service. is he right as an elected official to stick rigidly to those parameters or not? >> i know what all the buttons of an airplane do, whattal the knobs are for, what all the gauges do. when i walk onto my delta flight i don't ask to fly the plane. i know my place. here's what i do, here's what i know. i'm going to give you the most accurate that i believe truth, and then you make your own decisions. the mayor made the decision. even when i was going to school in buffalo, piers, if we canceled school every time it show snowed i'd be going to school through the fourth of july. you can't cancel it all the time. i think they want to get the schools in. you got to get so many days in then you g

al roker is here, and peter alexander is in hard-hit north carolina, and mark potter will start us off in atlanta tonight, mark, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian, the word here in atlanta, the weather is just miserable, and expected to get even worse tonight and tomorrow. already some 5500 flights have either been delayed or cancelled. the city of atlanta learned a hard lesson from the last big storm, when thousands of motorists were stranded on area roads, including i-85. this is that same stretch of highway today as people now heed official warnings and stay off the roads. still, there was no escaping the ice, the weather problems began today shortly before dawn when freezing rain became slush and ice, causing accidents. as trees grew heavy with ice, they began to fall. this one fell into a house where an 88-year-old woman was sleeping in this bed when the ceiling collapsed. her grandson said while injured she is lucky to be alive. >> and she was just covered with insulation and sheet rock. >> reporter: power crews spent all day repairing downed lines as more than 200,0

and when al roker heard what the mayor said, there was some sort of a polar vortex. we had some of his tweets. first he tweeted how dare the mayor of new york city throw the national weather service under the school bus, the forecast was on time and on the money. and he wrote, this morning i knew the new york city mayor would close schools, talk about bad predictions. long-range de blasio forecasts? one term. well, the mayor didn't take kindly to that. and earlier today he lashed out and took a pot shot. here is what he said. >> i respect al roker a lot. watched him on tv for many, many years. it is a different thing to run the city than to give the weather on tv. >> and megyn, 45% of the student body actually showed up for class today. new york city says you know what? tough luck, if you didn't show up for school today you're not going to be able to make up that time. it is an unexcused absence. now let's be clear, they expected kids to walk through 30 miles per hour winds, snow falling through to three inches to get to school. and the head of new york city school s

it's a different thing to run a city than to give the weather on tv. >> roker also challenged atlanta mayor kasem reed, as did cnn for misjudging the magnitude of a huge storm that left thousands of motorists stranded just two weeks ago. reed apologized and atlanta was better prepared this week, but the lesson seemed lost elsewhere in the south. the storms in raleigh, were strangely similar to the earlier atlanta mess, with a traffic nightmare that was symbolized by a burning car. in washington, where a few flakes can paralyze the nation's capital, the city easily weathered the storm, thanks in part to close the national government. and while new york digs out, al roker admitted his criticism of de blasio went too far. >> i'm very passionate about the weather. i made a prediction there would be only one term of his administration. i apologize for that. >> de blasio campaigned on such themes as easing income inequality in new york. but he's learning mayors are often judged by matters such as sizing up snow storms. >> virginia has become the first southern state to have the same-sex mar

al roker responded this way. mr. mayor, i know i could not run nyc but i know when it's time to keep kids home from school. what do you think, in retrospect, is al roker correct? >> i know al roker and his wife and his family. i don't think there was a lot of learning going on in the schools and i think that if you wanted to keep your child home, you could. but for those parents who had to work and for those kids who had to go to school because there wasn't anybody at home, it's a safe place. so i do think that safety has a double-edged sword. if you feel it's unsafe to walk your kids to school, i agree. stay home. but if you have to go to work, because otherwise you don't make the rent, it makes sense to have your kids in a safe place. it's a rock and a hard place. >> the mayor also said the city is opened for business today. you're there. are people out? are they going to stores or are most people huddled up inside? >> well, there is very little traffic in terms of cars on the streets but there is tons of pedestria
