but it's a snowball fight! because they said it made a red mark on her leg. it's supposed to! it's a snowball. what happened to all this exercise they're telling us the kids need? you know, that's what snowball fights do. it keeps you aware of the danger and allows you to learn how to dodge things. here's the part that bothered me. the ordinance said if you throw missiles, it's illegal. that's what political correctness does. it redefines words. snowballs become missiles. last time we were concerned about missiles, we invaded iraq. i hope you're not stockpiling snowballs in minnesota. we might have to bomb you. leave it alone! >> always great to see you. thanks for waking up everyone here on the set and all of our viewers. >> yeah. >> see you again next week! >> yeah, that's my job, waking you up. >> thanks so much. governor mitt romney ahead in the polls but newt isn't going down without a fight attacking his character. mitt romney here to respond 7:15 a.m. eastern time. stick around. right back. to life reall

the big snowball. the other girl putting a snowball on her head. how about up toward brookville where my friend joe sent in a great picture of a nice horse there. a couple sheep off in the distance. starting to cover the ground in brookville, maryland. the heaviest snow stayed to the south. here it is over the last couple hours moving on out of here. we are just about done with this little bit of a snowstorm and it was just that. a little snowstorm. but believe it or not, it was still the biggest snowstorm that we have seen so far at the airport. now we did see a bigger snow in october for most of you back to the north and west but for the airport this is the biggest snow. i'll show you in a second. as it moves out of here still seeing snow into portions of southern maryland right to the south of waldorf down through portions of calvert county. comes in as pink here on our radar screen. but this is still snow around calvert beach right around the huntington area and diehl and southern anne arundel county. it will continue to move on out of here. fo

snowball-making, too, out there. sari, snow lovers, now is not our time. -- sorry, snowblowers, now is not our time. overlooking the federal city, a look at how the camera jumps around a little bit. it is because of the gusty wind behind the cold front that moved through while you were sleeping. here are the wind gusts out of the northwest at 33 m.p.h. in the district and manassas. some of our weather bugs site wind in excess of 40 miles per hour sometimes. the wind chill could be a lot worse than they are. 42 degrees now in the district. it feels like we are in the 30's and the 20's. here is a lighter view of what we are looking at. high pressure will settle into night. that will drop are wind and clear the sky and bring as chilly temperatures by early tomorrow morning. the area of low pressure in the midwest, that little clipper will close by tomorrow evening by the tail end of the rush hour. at that time, we could have a few flakes or a brief dusting of snow. but it will be highly isolated. as for the rest of the

jason is going to be making or i thought he was throwing a snowball at me.the camera there. jason may be throwing another snowball at me now but for now, what are you about to do, jason? it's getting worse over here. >> keep going. >> back to you guys. >> did you read that "journal" piece? read, really read. >> i know. >> i want you to be, andrew, please. i don't want you rolling your eyes at me any more like i'm an evolution denying anti-scientist or something. read that article. thank you. >> given how close it is here, i believe you, joe, for today i will believe you. >> that is how your side explains a lot of it, they do. take a look, thanks, andrew. take a look at the bid/ask on ford. phil lebeau just got off the phone with the ceo alan mulally, down a little bit, phil but it doesn't look that off. it's been building, consolidating after it ran up two years ago or whenever it was to 18. it's been treading water ever since. >> and they got hammered last year along with the rest of the auto sector. i asked alan mulally what was behind the miss. some say a

things before that are meant to be, let's try it, and what happens is we do it once, and it is a snowball, and i am concerned about that. part of the issue, i appreciate and understand because of the relationship, and we have an artificially low cost for our of electrical needs. however, we also have an issue in this state that in other states the ability of people to generate power through these passive systems and for them to be required to buy them back at a competitive rate does not exist in this state, so it is not as simple as that. those are the kinds of things that are likely to change significantly in the next few years, not 25 years. that is why it seems a little difficult for me to support this. >> you need to have sites and areas to generate an of solar panels that you can generate more than 85% of the power for the school. it would be very rare for most urban schools to ever have the space to generate more than 60% of the power of the school, so the concept of selling power back is a moot point. it is where we want to go down there road. one is to be energy efficient, and as

we were talking a few minutes ago, we had a snowball fight scheduled. >> so that was damian when i waspeaking with him yesterday. he was talking about some of the things he was experiencing now that he has been out. you know, he was in prison for 18 years on death row. he's been out only a little more than four months. and he said those little everyday things that sometimes we take for granted like seeing a snowfall are some of the things that ra little touch his heart and he was, i have to tell you, so excited about having the snowball fight yesterday. he also said one of the other things that he really is excited about these days, being able to figure out and use an atm card. he said now he's figured it out and it is a lot of fun, which i said, watch out. >> a lot of people don't realize how much has tran spired in 18 years. 18 years of his incarceration and other milestones that have happened and so many other people's life experiences. so what has been the reaction so far from the documentary there at sun dance? >> well, there has been a very good reaction. they did debut the film.

maybe have a snowball fight, but won't be that great.o some doughnuts. >> seattle gets snow, but 5 to 10 inches is enough to shut the town down. that's why the mayor is saying everybody, may be a good day to stay home. >>> i'm going to take you to the uk for some pretty crazy rescue footage. this horse is caught in a little bay. apparently the horse was on the cliff above this little cove. >> oh. >> what? >> and fell into the water. >> it didn't get hurt at all. >> and is stuck in this current and you're right, he seems to be uninjured because he's moving pretty well. but is surrounded by cliffs. >> wow. >> two life boat crews from cardigan, near pem brookshire, came in to this water to try to rescue this horse and what they had to do was take a harness and put it around the horse's neck. >> the way you say that sounds really easy, but trying to get that harness on this horse is proving to be quite impossible, right? >> oh, it's incredibly difficult because this horse is so spooked, he just fell off the cliff into water, and is urrounded

have a snowball fight, of course.lks gathered for combat in the cold last night in a city park west of downtown. a snowstorm dumped several inches on the windy city. and much of the great lakes region. there weren't just kids in there. there were plenty of adult. did you see that? wasn't just fun at games at chicago airports yesterday as the winter storm blew through. thousands of travelers found themselves stranded for hours. the snow forced hundreds of cancellations, especially flights bound for the east coast. >>> as for the satellite map, as it shows here. it's far from over. over the next 48 hours, there will be heavy accumulations if michigan to new england. especially in the lake effect regions of northern ohio, pennsylvania and new york. reaching as far south as virginia. >>> mo one in the lower 48 states has seen anything like this. it's been the snowiest winter in alaska. east of anchorage, they've seen the worst of it. alaska national guardsmen are helping to clear snow there. >>> on the second anniversary

just enough and just right for sledding and snowballs. >> truth is i don't love the snow, but with three kids they have been really, really itching for us to have snow. >> reporter: the snow first hit in the midwest yesterday. in chicago, it made for a messy and treacherous commute. it is a far cry from last winter when storm after storm after storm left record snowfall. this time last season in new york city, crews had to bring in special machines to melt the 31 inches of snow that had already piled up. this season just over seven inches of snow has fallen in the city. that lack of snow is also evident in new england and the upper midwest. meanwhile, northern california and the pacific northwest are getting hit with more rain and wind than snow. except in and around seattle where rain on top of this past week's rare snowstorm created a slushy mess. forecasters say the missing ingredient this winter has been cold temperatures that have finally moved in. >> this year we could be looking at a flip-flop where we start mild and there's time to catch up as we head to february and march. it's

did you end up in a situation where no one believes that you are not a common project and keep snowballing with the news came that he wins he was not registered as a candidate straight away people say that it's because they want proper up to get more votes the problem of the whole truth i think almost anyone who joins the presidential race is automatically labeled as a kremlin project reveals i will always want to know what it means to look i was a successful and wealthy person even before politicians will perform i don't rely on government contracts. but we're talking about politics and politics is different people keep saying i can't be independent because i have a lot of assets but i had almost all of those assets before police and what if but the only people outside russia on the other hand don't really care if you're a crumb and project that say you make it so the run up for you run against put in what would people outside russia know about you first they know you're a taker then they know about the scandal in france where you were practically accused of being a pimp and also the fact

the area in case tension grows dined by time and accidents actually consecutively they grow like a snowball as if in the in the gulf region as specifically in the hair was going to where iran has shown its military actually power and has actually we have seen that on t.v. and we are seeing it right now on the borders of the waterfront actually on its own and they have they have got a certain important intellectual plane when they electronically handle it through the air and then they down down it on the on the air go on the air facilities actually through the area for sale it is to the grounds of any republic inside you know so this will automatically all eventually upload you know escalate the situation inside the gulf and specifically in there was going to be predicting a strike from israel or the u.s. . well i'm predicting there's a certain plan or an agenda by the west is it will not engineered it will not exit q that it could be the brits and the us but this will benefit is that for sure this is really strategic interest in the middle east and the threat of iran through their nuclear p

over time that snowballs and increasingly draws the east india company into an increasing penetration and involvement with afghanistan. the other part that i think is very important and my own book touches upon is the east india company's role in south asia itself because the story i have just told you about trade, but russian influence, is one that is often told. what is less often told is how the east india company sees participation in afghanistan as a way of undercutting local rivals within south asia. for example, in the punjab where modern-day pakistan and india split there was an extraordinarily strong indigenous kingdom under a leader who was the main competitor to the east india company in 18 '20s and 1830's. he had a european trained army officer by eight ex napoleonic officers, many of whom had connections with officers in the czarist army because once napoleon's forces broke apart many of the officers go as global mercenaries. and the east india company was fearful of his power. he had a standing professional european trained army of over 80,000 troops directly abutting th
