it's just a winter wonderland out there throughout so much of the country. now as far as the weather pattern, we did see the big storm go by yesterday that dumped that heavy snow in the mid-atlantic. that's exiting out to sea. we just have these leftover snow showers. the best news out there is even though it's still very cold, no big storms that are going to organize on the west coast and head east. at least we're done with that. we can slowly warm up the air, melt the snow and then we'll have some enjoyable weather around here once we get past easter. it's 6 in denver. 23 in minneapolis. even atlanta has a windchill of 25. even with sunshine today, atlanta only 49 today. new orleans only 55. so it's still cold and chilly. we're slowly melting the snow by the time we get to wednesday, we start to add about five degrees to the temperature. the key is the positive thing is no more snow in the forecast. >> all right. that is the silver lining. thanks, bill. >>> coming up, we'll have more on that breaking news about amanda knox. plus a fascinating new story abo
