boston. as for the southeast, a picture-perfect travel day on deck, with high pressure in control, making it cool and dry. my advice would be to travel early on, in the south and the midwest because some snow is on the way. already, we're talking snow by christmas eve, from chicago down through st. louis. back to you, rob and vinita. >> all right. thanks a lot, amy. we'll have much more about the storm's aftermath later today on "good morning america." >>> overseas, now, we are following some breaking news on the korean peninsula. as south korea carries out its largest-ever set of wintertime military drills. they're taking place about 20 miles from the border with north korea. korea. hundreds of troops, along with tanks and fighter jets, are involved. drills are in response to last month's bombardment of a south korean island by the communist north. >>> tensions between north and south korea will top the agenda when the chinese president visits the white house next month. the white house has announced an official visit by hu jintao. president obama visited china last year. >>> and the president begins his hawaiian vacation today. and he's doing it on a hig

new york up to boston you are very, very warm, it is warmer there than it is across the south.you factor in the wind. it feels like minus 10 in chicago, minus 20 in minneapolis, 3 degrees it feels like in atlanta, georgia. so daytime highs not to get above the freezing mark in atlanta. 41 degrees expected in new york city. so we're definitely flip-flopping. if you are traveling today, looking at hour-plus delays in new york, philly and d.c. because of the wind a. cold wind that comes in behind the front. most of the snow, the moisture, once the cold front comes through the i-95 corridor, most of the moisture is going to be gone. so i don't think you'll see much in the way of snow accumulation. detroit, charlotte, atlanta, going to see an hour-plus delay. cleveland a tough spot. i think today is similar. boston and seattle and san francisco looking at some action as well. seattle saw some flooding rains across western washington. another weak front is going to come through, this not as much moisture as the last one but going to be wet north of san francisco all the way up toward

south already socked in, the blizzard is going northward heavy snow howling winds and treacherous ice all packed into sunday punch. whiteout blizzard conditions are predicted up and down the eastern seaboard washington and philadelphia and boston. >> we could see 60 mile-an-hour gusts and 55 mile-an-hour wind and particularly when the ground is slippery. so this is dangerous. >> road crews are preparing for up to 18 inches of white stuff mounds of sand ready to deal with mounds of snow. plows and trucks are getting set for a night of heavy duty overtime. residents stocked up on supplies including plenty of snow melt. still some say let it snow. >> we're working our way to a four day weekend or five day. >>> and the n.f.l. has moved the vikings and eagles game from tonight to tuesday because of the blizzard. the storm is expected to dump up to 20 inches of snow on philadelphia. the city has declared a snow emergency this afternoon. the vikings have already had two home games affected by the weather. first postponement came after the roof of the minneapolis metrodome collapsed. >> and the rain that passed through the bay area is bringing more snow to the sierra. here is what it looked like a couple hours from heavenly camera at

south and east. and eventually out to sea. however, it's going to probably make a recurve up toward extreme eastern new england sunday. and from about new hampshire, boston area. maybe eastern road road. connecticut area could see some snow on sunday. for our region, it looks like it's probably going to stay right along the coast. look at this next model. you can see what's going on. it will stay cold all weekend. you can see how close it comes, right along the coast. norfolk area, probably see a rain snow mix. ocean city. maybe atlantic city. and portions of long island. will probably see some snow. late saturday night into sunday. west of the bay, i think really west of the beltway, you may not see anything at all. the city may be just a little bit of snowflake activity. southeast winds, the bay, 5 knots. bay temp around 39. tonight, let's call it around 20. average low is still at 27. then tomorrow, we'll see a mixture of clouds and sunshine. temperatures in the mid-30s once again. not a lot of wind tomorrow. so it won't be a terrible day. but then it clouds up and stays cloudy and chilly for the ravens on sunday. probably game time, low 30s. so dress
