new york city may get another 4 inches of snow. what new york city got today was the presip that should have been or could have been snow. was a rain-snow mix. so it's mucky out there. shears slush in the streets. butt tonight after 9:00, 10:00, it's going to get below 32 and that's going to flash freeze. then it's going to snow, 3 to 4 inches, not much more, we're not seeing 20 inches. then 4 inches of snow on top of ice that you can't see. trying to walk around, big ruts, big things. there's going to be so much ice under that snow. that's the danger of new york city, i believe, right now. now, there is thunder snow happening in parts of connecticut and long island. that's how hard it is snowing. ali velshi is right there, in case you didn't understand where he was, on the bottom of the hook. here's boston. look at this blue area of snow right there. that's the heaviest snow about to approach boston. it's through providence, about to get to hartford, all the way down to all of the big cities right along the coast there of connecti

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built u

new york city up to a foot of snow. but along the coast, from rhode island all the way up into new england, we are looking at anywhere from 18" to 24" of snow and a bullseye of two feet or more right around boston. >> good morning.ing on we are getting the rain right now. new england gets most of the snow. mostly >> and that's your latest weather. matt? >> al, thank you so much. >>> when we come back, where does your relationship fall on the scale of the new normal, from trust to money to sex? we'll reveal the surprising secrets of happy couples. >>> and we'll have your favorite videos of the week. first, these messages. hey, there's a photo booth. come on! okay, we gotta time this just right. okay. ready... mm-hmm. happy valentine's day.

we're expecting roughly about 12 inches or more for new york city. when you combine the snow in with the winds, and some of these locations those winds are going to be gusting up to about 70 miles per hour. we're talking virtually a whiteout out there. you're not going to be able to see anything. the storm system moves out by saturday and then you can see the blizzard warning in place from newark all the way up towards maine. >> jennifer delgado -- >> a lot to talk about. >> you got that right, jennifer, many thanks. >>> also this morning in california the manhunt intensifies and leads seem to fade. police say the possible sighting of christopher dorner near an indian reservation in san diego county may have been a hoax. it leaves him on the loose and dangerous. authorities say he has declared war on police and the military trained sharpshooter already turned the hunters into the hunted. he say dorner gunned down three police officers in river side after killing an off-duty police officer and his fiance. the woman was also connected to the lapd, she

an epidemic of handguns in new york city. >> any major city quite frankly. it's a concealable weapon killing people. assault weapons, i think they should be eliminated but they are responsible for less than 2% of the shootings in the city. >> jon: new york city and a lot of major cities have relatively strict handgun laws. >> right. >> jon: why is it that those are not working to stem the tide? is it because any other place that doesn't have the laws are the ones feeding them? >> precisely. 90% of the guns come from other states. the iron pipe lineup 95. southern states for the most part. you can have strict laws here. governor cuomo signed probably the strictest laws in the country. if everybody had that, it's fine. everybody does not have it and as a result guns can be purchased in other jurisdictions. >> jon: can you trace them? say somebody buys a gun in florida, south carolina, wherever it's and coming up 95 to us. it's used in a crime. when you get that gun are you able to trace that back to where they bought it? >> with some difficulty. atf, does that

we got about that eight inches of snow in new york city. take a look at the snowfall totals we've got on the boards for you this morning. with some places in connecticut coming in about 34 inches of snow. st. james, new york, almost 30 inches of snow. boston right now -- remember, this is a blowing, blowing, driving snow. it's been very difficult to measure. in the entire overnight event of this storm, with 50-mile-per-hour, 60-mile-per-hour winds. we have boston at a preliminary number of about 18 inches. ginger's been out measuring that this morning. and new york city, because it's almost impossible, everything's in drifts and everything was blowing around. eight to ten inches of snow there. quick look at the radar. we'll show you exactly what's happening right now. you can see the heavier line of snow is pulling away from the new york city area. you have the snow from long island, connecticut, rhode island, on into boston area and on into maine, as well. we believe there will be accumulations there. snowfall totals, at one point, we were

york model, the new york city model working? do you think it's working effectively? >> well, it's completely changing the way that candidates run for election. it's opened up the opportunity for different sorts of folks to run for election. and it means that those who are running and succeeding in the system are getting their -- are getting funded in their campaigns from small -- principally from small contributors rather than big contributors. i think that means that you have the opportunity to have a degree of trust in your government in new york city that you don't have elsewhere in the country. >> i think it's been profoundly successful, right. there are always some problems with thiges and no system -- this is not some, you know, magic feather that is going to make democracy work, in all, you know, we still need good candidates with good ideas. you need organizations keeping them honest. but if you can reduce this particular problem which you led off with, the enormous power that private money has you'll get better outcomes

the new york city area. about an inch of snow, the winds gradually picking up and then tonight we'll see that pick up to eight to 12 inches of snow, blizzard conditions developing with winds gusting to 50 miles per hour and then tomorrow it will begin to die down just a bit and as the snow tapers off, continuing to see blowing and drifting snow as the winds could still gust higher than that 20 to 30-mile-per-hour range and city officials taking this seriously and we need to make preparations and just stay home, hunker down and stay off the roads. back to you. >> absolutely. nick walker, thank you. now to the weather channel's paul goodloe down the road from us in messy times square. >> reporter: yes. we are starting to see and then range midday and now changing back over to snow. sometimes sleet mixing in, as well. this is the calm before the storm and perhaps lulling people in to, oh, it's not going tock as bad as you are talking about. it's still early. the storm is getting closer and stronger as it moves

york city. and for those people who aren't traveling, well, there are just a few hours left to get supplies before this potentially historic snowfall starts. a familiar scene playing out across new england, people grabbing supplies and food ahead of the storm. the only thing more popular than snow shovels and rock salt seem to be milk and bread. >> craziness as usual for a snowstorm. >> oh, it's crazy. it was a madhouse. >> i'm going to the liquor store. >> people are worried about the snow. i'm not worried about it. >> reporter: but officials in massachusetts are. the governor asked all nonemergency state workers to stay home today, urged all schools to close, and asked people to stay off the roads to allow the state's army of plow trucks to do their work. in addition to snow, the nor'easter is expected to churn up fierce waves and threatening coastal flooding. that could pose a major problem in areas around new york city that are still recovering from superstorm sandy. >> we can handle the sno

>> for new york city, it won't be an issue. we won't be close in the city because we got half of our resip out of the way as a rain/snow mucky mess. so that was good. we didn't pile up. by this time, we've had enough rain. enough moisture falling out of the sky of new york city. there could have been 12 inches on the ground already with another 4 to 8 to go. that would have got you to even 20. that didn't happen because the cold was slow to arrive. that's the good news for the city. the bad news for boston, the cold air is there and 20 to 30 will be there because now i'm even seeing some spots at 19 already, and we have eight hours of snow to go. we're going to pile this up. >> there had been concern about flooding, storm surge in some of the areas in staten island, suffolk county, long island. have we seen that? is it too early to tell? >> some breaches of the eroded dunes. the dunes are in bad shape in new jersey for a while. it's going to take a while for the sea grass and oats to come back and get the dunes back together. s

you're looking at a shot of rockefeller center here in new york city. it's 32 degrees outside, snowing and winds are gusting at about 22 miles per hour. and there are about 100 people outside waiting for tickets to see justin bieber tomorrow night on "saturday night live." "ed show" producers caught up with a few of these devoted fans earlier tonight, just to see how they're hanging on. >> yay, justin, we love you! >> we love you, justin! >> justin! >> so worth it! >> how long have you guys been waiting out here? >> hours. >> 2:00 to 3:00. >> it's so cold. >> we forgot. our brains froze. >> how long would you guys wait in a blizzard to see justin bieber? >> forever. my whole life. until my 21st birthday. >> forever until he came out. >> for a million years. i love him so much. >> if we got in tomorrow, then i would probably cry. just thinking about it gets me emotional. >> it would be hard to hold it together. >> what is it like to stand out here for justin bieber tonight? >> oh, it's just wonderful. i'd do anything for my daughter. >> we were singing,

connecticut northward to new york city is kind of a question mark. we have blizzard watches that have now been issued for areas of southern connecticut and that's new. last night, from boston to providence. so the i-95 corridor is the biggest area of concern for the heavy snow, the gusty winds, probably impossible travel on i-95. all of new england and much of new york state is under the winter storm watch. now, as far as our computers go, we're looking at the heaviest snowfall amounts. you're talking historic snows possibly in that i-95 corridor from the boston to providence corridor. about 20 inches of snow for this area. then a little less from new haven to new york city because we may get a winter mix during the day on friday. changing over to snow on the back side. as far as historic goes, the best chance of that happening, the coastal flooding, the damaging winds, hurricane force winds that would be on cape cod 'the i-95 corridor from boston to providence. if you're traveling there, you're not going to do it friday into saturday. that's a look

york city. over $8.3 billion worth of acquisitions. >> tell me about your position. engaging new york erers in this era. how did you role fit in the urban government? we had two hurricanes hit. >> our focus is support innovation inside and outside government and day-to-day, what this means is we're making it easier to navigate government digitally and supporting new york's tech sector. that brings in a lot of public, private partnership. especially in situations where perhaps you just had enough of the cig cal to get that tweet or see that last facebook update, we were able to reach millions of people and had partners like twitter step up to the plate and donate thousands of dollars worth of promotion related tweets. we had google helping us fill a map showing where shelters were located. it was truly a great effort and the tech community played a great deal role. >> i love your upcoming project of revamping phone booths in new york city. we remember those phone booths. how can we recredit what'

new york city. this is why we have been having a hard time. any time you have a nor'easter rain snow line. pink here in new york. few miles to the south is rain and few miles to the north it's snow. we are getting more confident we will be spending more time in the snow here towards new york city and that means increased snowfall total. unfortunately for folks in new york. we have known this is going to be about a 2-foot snow storm at least around the boston area but new york city is the bulls eye here we weren't quite sure. boston right now this model showing 34 inches. i think that's probably a little bit high. but we are going to be around that 2-foot range. go here, shep. we have got a 50-mile spread here. go to rye 22 inches. go down to jersey 8 inches. new york city 12 inches. that's what the model is doing here. little more snow here and cold air here those numbers go of a dramatically. the moisture is there whether it's rain or snow is the big debate in new york city. >> our boston station i was watching rick they have this scale they

nothing that new york city can't take care of. a thousand plows around the city, waiting, and in addition 250,000 tons of salt. he won't allow us to eat it, but apparently you can still put it on the road. continuing coverage of this potentially historic weather system and in boston where public transportation has shut down. officials have urged everyone it to stay off the roads. where it is illegal to drive now and into the early morning hours. that's coming up as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news as fox reports live tonight. ust. when they tell you that you need your oil changed you got to bring it in. if your tires need to be rotated, you have to get that done as well. jackie, tell me why somebody should bring they're car here to the ford dealership for service instead of any one of those other places out there. they are going to take care of my car because this is where it came from. price is right no problem, they make you feel like you're a family. get a synthetic blend oil change, tire rotation and

no mayor i think has ever embodied the spirit of new york city like he did. i do not think anyone will. brash and irreverent, full of humor, he was our city's it essential mayor. it was an attitude he displayed for the world every day. we have such respect for him. it was matched by his integrity, intelligence, and independence. i was lucky enough to get an endorsement from him for first term of mayor. he was one of the few people crazy enough to back me. i do not know a thing of politics. i always remember that advice he gave me. he said, be yourself, say what you believe, and not worry what people think. god knows he did not worry about it. he was a genuine politician as america has ever seen. he understood that if you take tough stances and give it to the people straight, they will respect you for being honest, even when they do not agree with you. he scared the heck out of press secretaries, but the average citizen in new york city admired him. he was a gifted student of human nature, but also a student of government policy. he had a voracious appetite fo

new york city ending this morning. as we put this in motion, as we head to 9:00, long island still into it. but eastern connecticut, eastern massachusetts, still this morning in through the afternoon. boston will end this afternoon, and then by tonight around 10:00 or so, we'll watch it and in maine, as well. still, though, even though that will end, we'll see these strong winds behind it. these are the wind forecasts throughout this afternoon, you can see 48, 50-mile-per-hour wind gusts. even though the snow will be over, the winds will be blowing all that snow that is freshly fallen all around. martin, we're still going to see incredible wind gusts. we're going to see things begin to calm down. but the good news, the snow will end this morning from west to east and by tonight the matter of cleaning up. >> all i can say, alexandra, thank goodness it's a weekend. >> safe, much safer. >> we'll be checking back with you throughout the morning. >> -- the blizzard, of course, out in california, we've had one and we've had

gerri: individual markets because i know you have of you in some cities. >> new york city, and that, i have to say, i am totally biased and you should not listen to me at all. is the tree because i make my livelihood here. when i love about new york city and all the cities that are really international cities, there are not that many in the united states, san francisco, l.a. a bit, i love about it is there is always a new population of people moving in. so the japanese lose their yen value and move out, the chinese move in and take their computers of their hands, always someone, whoever is coming in. gerri: to see that more all over the country. all the foreigners buying in florida. so we're starting to see investors coming in the fall cash. foreigners coming in and out of cash. individuals, first-time buyers, people who want to trade up. >> you know who is a person he should be moving even more than a first-time buyer or international person, someone who wants to trade up because if you take less for your home today and get them, this deep discount to you are ahead of the game. peop

new york city. is it still snowing there? are you still getting people stranded even as we speak? >> yes, yes. every time we pass, somebody new is sideways across the road blocking the one path of the lane. and san mateo still coming down out here. >> are you having trouble getting to any of these folks? >> it's20-mile-an-hour with four-wheel drive truck to check these miles and miles of roadway. >> and i would assume folks are calling in on cell phones. do they always know exactly where they are? are they able to direct them, the help? >> no. they usually don't know where they are. sometimes they just tried to dig themselves out. but they cause a line of four-wheel drive cars that might be trying to get by. that type of situation. >> all right. well, let's hope that this conversation serves as a warning to anyone else before they head out in their cars. sergeant, we appreciate your time this morning. thank you very much, sir. >> all right, sir. >>> connecticut is another area directly in the storm'

the snow is filling back into new york city, and ashleigh will get more snow tonight. not that much, but she will, and then this wind will be the event for tomorrow as that storm, we call it bombs out. it literally becomes so deep and so intense it will almost be the same strength, the same depth at what hurricane sandy was as it made landfall. the good news with this is that this storm is not going to make landfall. it's going to continue out into the ocean and move away. so maybe 6 to 10 more for albany. everywhere you see this pink, this is all the way from maine, even into nova scotia, back down to, that's about maybe new haven. that's a foot of snow or more. still to come. and then 20 to 30 for boston, providence, and that's just the snow total. 4 to 8 for new york city. more to the north. it's been colder up there. there's more snow in westchester right now. and that's going to continue to be that way for the rest of the night. then that's the bomb. that's the bull's eye right over boston. in case you didn't know, if you didn't know that spot right there, guys ou

you see new york city is at 33 degrees. that's going to be an area where we will see that snow start off as rain and then it changes in the back side of the storm. so most of today, it's okay in new york city but then it turns into tonight. we do are blizzard warnings in the bright pink here. that's an area where we could end up with two feet of snow. there's only really been four snowstorms with two feet of snow in boston. this could be the fifth one and a crippling storm. >> living up to the label historic. >> absolutely. >>> turning now to california where a massive manhunt has the los angeles area on virtual lockdown. the lapd even putting extra security at their headquarters because the spblgt used to be one of their own. christopher dorner is wanted in multiple shootings spanning six days. the 33-year-old said he's declaring war with the lapd after losing his job. according to his late and rambling manifesto, he wants to revenge until his name is clear. he writes the violence of action will be high. i will bring uncon
