rain is going to come down hard, particularly across southern portions of louisiana and mississippi. four-inches of rain, again, flash flooding will be a problem on the roadways in the southeast it's dry, but i think the pattern will change as we track in to next week, but they are dealing with a deficit here, we have talked about the drought all yearlong, san francisco on only reaching close to three-inches typically by this time of the year it's their wet season and they should be closer to 12-inches of rain. now, it's all snow and we have had a great deal of snow across portions of the north central planes in to the midwest and chicago where the cold air will not let go and coming back. as a matter of fact in duluth, minnesota, 60 days of subzero temperatures since december 1st, that's a record there. chicago, st. louis and indianapolis, this is one of their top 10 coldest windsers and in detroit, coldest winter since the 1978-noo1979 season is cold and nothing is change. another polar vortex to worry about next week as the area of low pressure pushes down in to the north central

louisiana and is a great cook. ask cooked off the table and raised us with southern rul rural louisiana values. my dad was born in detroit, but his father is from georgia. so my parents are part of the great migrationi. leaving the south to the rural north. my dad was a doctor. he believed in education but he came up on the harder side of life. he taught us you have to fight for everything. and we would say there is no mer mercy were the weak. if you don't keep up, the world has harsh consequences. if i called him today he would tell me the same thing. we were raised that way. my mother was very protective, affecti affectionate and she had fire in her belly, too. so i was raised by two very different types. one was tougher and the other was all about her kids. and i am still lucky to have both parents with us. they are in detroit right this second. >> talk about your brothers. all of you hagraduate degrees. four lawyers and one doctor. >> my oldest brother is a primary care doctor and he takes care of the people in detroit. the people seeing him are doctors folks see first. he is a great, older

here you can see across northern louisiana, southern arkansas. icing through the ozarks, birmingham, could see a layer of ice before it is all said and done. and into south carolina and then we could see it transition over to snow. how much? computer models haven't nailed it down but it looks like anything before one to four inches. and then we go later into the forecast and it pushes towards the carolinas. interstate 20 in the southeast is going to be treacherous. and into south carolina. north carolina, maybe into south eastern virginia, we could see this event in a broad area that is going to be difficult to pin down but you need to stay aware. could see troubles as far as airline traffic is considered too. >> thank you very much. is it going to be a repeat on the phone with me right now glen burns he is at wsb and used to to be my weather man until this past summer when i moved up here. you have become a repeat of that disaster two weeks ago. we have the forecast, ice and snow and it may hit atlanta again. you have gotten off a conference cal

southern roots. my mother is directly from louisiana so my mother is an awesome cook in cook's off at that table and raised us with those southern rural values from rural louisiana and my dad was born in detroit in what they called a lack ottoman detroit but his fathers from georgia and of course and so both of my parents are products of what you called this great migration african-americans leaving the rood self to the north and i'm a product of that. my dad you know was a doctor. he believed in education but my dad also was a guy who came up on the harder side of life and definitely learned, taught us that you have to fight for everything you get. life doesn't give you any excuses. he often would say you know there is no mercy for the weak side. if you don't want to keep up and do your homework and do what you were supposed to do this world has harsh consequences for you. he would tell us this and if i called and today he would tell me the same thing. we were raised that way and my mother was a very protective affection of person who also you know had fire in her belly to matt. i was raised by two

louisiana accent. it sounded more southern than that. >> on the same day he bought the gun, a george d.son rented a room in the ymca just across the street from the sears store. >> we actually went into the room where this george wilson had checked in, and from this window of this room, you could see the sears store. and it was just kind of -- for us, it was kind of overwhelming being in there and seeing that and trying to figure out what was going on in this man's mind when he was there. >> george wilson listed his home address in miami, florida. >> the address turned out to be a rock quarry. there was nothing there. >> for approximately four years, they checked every person with that name in the united states. >> all were dead ends. it soon became clear that george wilson was not his real name. honestly? i wanted a smartphone that shoots great video. so i got the new nokia lumia icon. it's got 1080p video, three times zoom, and a twenty-megapixel sensor. it's got the brightest display, so i can see what i'm shooting -- even outdoors, and 4 mics that capture incredible sound. plus, it

louisiana. she is and also cooked and would cut off the table and would raise us with those southern values fromiana. and my dad was born in black bottom detroit but his father was from georgia. so both parents are product of the great migration with numbers of african americans leaving the rural south to the urban north. i of a product of that. my dad was a doctor called the believed education but also came upon the hard side of life ian to learn and taught us life does not give you excuses. he would say there is no mercy for the week if you don't want to keep up in to your homework the world has harsh consequences. if i called today he would tell me the same thing. we were raised that way but another was protective and affectionate who also had a fire in her belly. i was raised by two different people one was tough one was all about her kids and i am still lucky to have both of my parents. they are in detroit right now. >> host: talk about your brothers. you all have graduate degrees? >> guest: the oldest does internal medicine in and takes care of the people love detroit. primary-care doctor.

to produce thick ice in addition to snow over the next 24 hours. >> the southern states are hunkering down again. alabama, louisianappi and parts of georgia have already declared states of emergency and this after a rare winter storm just two weeks ago caught them off guard. we have more on the potential impact. >> it's the scene that georgia's governor is vowing will not be repeated, clogged highways, abandoned cars and children spending the night in their schools. >> i think we're certainly ahead of the game this time and that's important. we are trying to be ready and prepared and react as quickly as possible. >> from texas to north carolina, freezing temperatures and significant snow and ice are expected to touchdown wednesday, and this time, no one is taking any chances. >> i got ice melt, i got a shovel, and i got a fan. >> gorge's governor already declared a state of emergency in 40 counties and schools are being closed. >> it is crazy. i went to school in maine and this is a little over reaction, it seems like. >> not to the crew, treating highways with everything, including salt, sand and gravel. truckers

morning, dumping 1-3 inches in the northern tier of our southern states, and this is the second round coming in again, with sleet being reported louisianand arkansas. that's exactly as the temperatures get colder overnight and colder air moves in, that's moving slowly eastward. so this major storm, being called catastrophic, is the amount of ice forecast in the central and east georgia into south carolina. this is going to bring us freezing rain and up to 8 inches of snow, and up to one inch of increase. that's why it's going to be so dangerous. the ice amounts, 1/10 of an inch to half an inch, and then we're going to add wind gusts to this. even if we have a 10 miles per hour wind gust on top of the ice on the trees, they are coming down, and on top of that, weak roots. so we look at the ice warning now that has been issued for georgia and alabama. it will be transitioning eastward. so now, you have fresh batteries in atlanta, and brace yourself, by 9 a.m., ice accumulation in the northern portion of alabama. and midnight, georgia, you're going to start to get the northern tier, and atlanta, the ice fall. and the storm will continue to

southern poverty and they would yield to come to their children. in the south carolina there were no public schools for white or black children, only to confederate states texas and louisiana have a free public education for middle-class and working-class kids and so the first thing he pushes for is to write to the sout the south care constitution is free public education and integrated public education and they have it in the school system for the first time it has decent schools for its children. so why does all of this and? and again it doesn't end every place. if you are a young black voter in chicago, voting rights never leave. if you are a black barber in syracuse, reconstruction is a success because the 15th amendment has given you something you can't take away. and there's a lot of things that can't be taken away. in 186090% of blacks are ill literate and by law and the south. by 1870 that comes down to 70%. by the 20th century is down to 50%. that is still pretty bad at the same time white literacy in the south is only 2%. so in half a century the numbers have just kind of skyrocketed and certainly by 1900 schools become segregated all across the country including

louisiana in 1872 on election day. but again, those kinds of atrocities could a lot of attention. they appear in the near a person washington papers and again white vigilantes, southerndemocrats discover it's a lot easier to go after one person one at a time. they go after poll workers, registrars, bureau teachers. one story have been the 19th century don't with a ballot. you have a ticket. on election day a functionary hints tickets out that looks like a bookmark. at one point, four guys right up to the house in south carolina who has to take it. they state the obvious. give us a ticket or we we will kill you. the guy has the tickets over in the next is election day. there's no republican ballots in south carolina. white vigilantes come to understand that today's poll worker, today's registrar is to mars state assemblyman admixtures congressman or the next or senator. before they become famous, you can stop progress in its tracks and bears some state assemblyman. he's on a train for guys right away. broad daylight. by 1901, he gives up. .. >> he taught math, he taught english, latin, greek. and one day he's walking home and, of course, this is the city of brotherly

southern plains getting reports of freezing rain and sleet in parts of texas and arkansas, louisiana,but the heart of this ice storm is really going to be across georgia and carolinas. first round moving through right now. this is nothing compared to what they will experience this time tomorrow. really from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., atlanta, georgia, you will be freezing rain and ice for many, many hours. there is 2:00 p.m. wednesday. temperature around 29. that will hover from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. freezing rain, ice, in your forecast. could be crippling with and devastating with power outages for days, weeks in this area. unfortunately people need to prepare now for the worst. looking a the future radar, atlanta, mississippi, parts of alabama. really core of the ice will be across the southeast in towards the carolinas. we'll see significant snow as well, really from d.c. up towards philadelphia. interior sections of northeast as nor'easter will develop wednesday through friday and bring significant snow totals to the northeast. we're done with winter already. here is where we are de

louisiana, mississippi. snow from oklahoma city. dallas had some delays. there were a lot of snow deicing operations at dfw today. so we're pretty quiet here now. the southern system looks like it's going to give us a chance for a little bit of snow come saturday. tonight, tomorrow, fairly quiet here on the you futurecast. i just want to show you as we get into saturday how we're t with a bring in the system little bit of light snow. looks like an inch or less during the day on saturday. but something certainly to watch. not going to be a big storm. 38 today, cold and dry, mostly cloudy. tonight in the 20s. tomorrow 40. a little more sunshine. by saturday some flurries, even a period of light snow, 38. on sunday another weak system gives us some flurries or light snow. cold on monday. only about 30. then the middle of next week, probably has the best potential for something a little more significant but we have plenty of time to watch that. it is petline thursday. joining me today is cindy from oldies but goodies cocker spaniel rescue. who is this cute little girl you brought us? >> this is my foster leslie. she is the sweetest little girl. loved coming in

the issue of gay marriage in southern states, which is reflective of how broad the agreement is on marriage equality. >> what we're seeing happening in texas, oklahoma, louisianaabama, virginia, utah, nevada, you have court action happening in places where if the people went to the polls to vote on the civil rights of gay and lesbian and transgender and bi people, those would pass in terms of putting in discrimination. that's why the court ruling is so important. send it back to the states and let them decide. the way justice kennedy wrote the decision and justice scalia in the dissent saying, you're making states invalidate their states constitutions. when a legally married same sex couple or goes and says, we were married in california and then we've moved back home to texas or louisiana or alabama and suddenly we're no longer married, well, we should enjoy the same rights and responsibilities as heterosexually married couples. we're asking for civil rights because we are legally married if we just crossed the border to go some place else. because those couples are asking for fairness, the argument for special rights goes out the window. any right thinking j

southern plains, the deep south getting in on the wintery mess. we have reports of freezing rain and sleet through part of texas, arkansas, louisiana, mississippi, alabamaorgia, georgia and the carolinas, though, bulls eye for ice storm. as we head to the overnight and tomorrow. already getting some significant snow across the mountains of the carolinas, and here is the ingredients that we need. we have 32 degrees at the surface. a cold layer of air then all the moisture coming from the gulf of mexico falling through the cold layer of air. so freezing rain is definitely going to be occurring. really from period of time from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. for atlantic georgia we could see accumulation of over a half of inch. the city will shut down, obviously. we could be dealing with power outages for days if not weeks across the area if the forecast panels out. it looks really, the potential for catastrophic across portions of georgia and the caroline. that's the pink shading. it continues for a period of hours toward wednesday evening. then north of that and west of that it will be mainly a snow event getting to the d.c. area around 3:00 a.m. and phil -- p

states, texas and louisiana before the war had free public education for middle-class and working-class white kids. so the first thing robert smoltz pushes for and helps to write the southern state constitution is free public education and integrated public education. and for soviet south carolina has this integrated public schools. for the first time it has decent schools for its children. so why does all this progressive era and? and again it doesn't end everyplace. if you are a young black voter in chicago, voting rights never leave. if you are a black barber in syracuse, reconstruction is a success because the 15th amendment is giving you something you can't take away. there's a lot of things that can be taken away. in 1860, 90% of black americans are nonliterate and quite often by law in the south. 1870 that comes down to 70%. in the 20th century it's down to 50%. that is still pretty bad but its same time, white literacy in the south is only 62%. so in half a century, the numbers had just kind of skyrocketed and then certainly by 1900, schools once more in the south become segregated. all across the country including new york, schools and black areas underfunded but

energy push across the southern part of the country in the next couple of days, giving the potential for an ice storm again in areas that don't typically see winter weather across louisiana, mississippi and alabama. see that icy mix here in towards atlanta, as well. we'll be watching you because just a week ago we were seeing the incredible storm that brought that city to a halt. more cold air sinking as far south as the gulf coast this week. winter is in full swing and no report of it ending just yet. >> it's february 8th. it's okay. we can live with winter a little bit longer. thanks. >> speak for yourself. >>> very sluggish job growth for a second straight month. according to the labor department, u.s. added a mere 113,000 new jobs in january. the nation's unemployment rate again dropped a tiny percentage to 6.6%. mostly because people just gave up. it is the lowest rate since october 2008. to tell us what these numbers mean, elizabeth prann in washington. >> the unemployment rate is at its lowest point since october of 2008 when the financial crisis first started erupting. analysts say 6.6% figure is attributed to a drop in overall work force participation. this mont

southern states allow hunting in the national forest within their borders. they include alabama, arkansas, florida, mississippi, north carolina, south carolina and louisiana. however, this is the first time the forest service has issued a ban on dog deer hunting or hunting deer with dogs within a specific state. according to the forest service documents, the revenue generated from dog deer hunting, including the care of animals, contributes approximately 18 to 29 direct obs and results in $890,000 to 1.4 million dollars of income from hunting, tourism and related activities. by the forest service's own assessment, it's likely that economic benefits are currently being lost as hunters leave the area to pursue the sport elsewhere. this is having a tangible economic impact on our state, robbing it of even more jobs. i would like to emphasize that the state of louisiana, the kennel club and safari club international support my amendment and a similar amendment was accepted by the house with a voice vote last congress. i urge support of this amendment and i reserve. yes, sir. mr. hastings: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i think this is a good amendment, an
