-- was -- out of the weather because it isn't pretty serious stuff for at least twenty states right now.

Freezing rain and hail driving is very dangerous out there it has crippled the morning commute.

Two deadly car accidents have already been blamed on this weather system and that is folks looking -- their doors -- twice about whether or not they should leave the house at all.

Had a little peek out of my window about 2 o'clock this morning who I knew we were and it and that is getting this with little rock the dressed work.

Tuesday and the immediate inches and you know off the ground -- nobody's got an outside yet to shovels.

Look tricky but just -- kids.

Well because the schools are closed because of businesses are shut down we see like kind of trickling back to normal as the people are digging out here Martha you see a little bit of traffic behind me we hear the road crews talking about the -- being so warm and clear now.

That they're actually what you can -- an example of that behind me here with the sun comes out.

Melts or snow the road gets what here's the risk.

As we look off to my right right now you can see where there's a bridge the bridges state roses -- the -- stay frozen she can have drivers pick up a lot of speed on the wet clear road.

Hit the icy patch and get into trouble at the end of the day the road crews pulled out all of the stops.

Because -- was surprised by this storm.

They maximize their staff the storm wasn't as bad as predicted at least not here in Nebraska.

So they stayed on top of that but is this storm moves east you see this -- this scenes repeated you see all the driving snow.

The storm is a moving eastward but I just want to make note that we had yet another storm system that's gonna move across the country this weekend and perhaps hit Kansas and Nebraska again early next week but look at these storm totals.

Eighteen inches in Nashville Kansas so yes in some cases.

The forecasters were right on with their predictions let's take a look at -- have the upper midwest getting snow right now winter weather advisories for you across the Ohio River valley.

Also want to -- -- winter weather advisories for New England we have another storm system that's gonna creep up the coast this weekend.

So heavy rain as this and cold front continues depressed -- two to three inches out of this they need the rain but unfortunately is gonna cause some flooding concerns.

And just looking at our latest round of models here as we go into Saturday and Sunday Martha and bill.

We have a little coastal event here that could bring up to.

A foot of snow north and west of Boston need to watch this obviously -- these -- got smacked with two to three feet of snow two weeks ago.

Which is not over no happy gamer not -- that's now that I drew -- -- hear you very much apart.
