:00:16. > :00:19.worldviews where the night 80 million Americans are facing this
:00:20. > :00:24.winter blast and it is only the beginning. As cars spin, thousands
:00:25. > :00:27.of flights are snarled and the great Lakes have more ice than we have
:00:28. > :00:31.seen in recent memory. Olympic fears the American speedskater telling his
:00:32. > :00:35.family not to go because of terror threats. Critical care, new
:00:36. > :00:40.information for everyone about the emergency room and surviving a heart
:00:41. > :00:46.attack. And real money, taking on your Internet and phone bills, how
:00:47. > :00:48.we savoured one family $1000, the secrets that will help you too. That
:00:49. > :01:04.is amazing. Good evening to you. Any 4 million
:01:05. > :01:10.of us are facing a poll the freeze together again. Ice, snow, stinging
:01:11. > :01:16.winds, warnings from North Carolina to New England, Chicago's Waterway
:01:17. > :01:21.Apollo obstacle course, the Washington monument was shut down.
:01:22. > :01:27.Everywhere across these slow zone, Americans are bundling up again and
:01:28. > :01:40.taking up the shovels again. We are reporting across the storm zone
:01:41. > :01:44.tonight. From the daily roads in the great Lakes to the frightening spin
:01:45. > :01:47.outs on the east coast. Tonight, a blaring reminder that this winter is
:01:48. > :01:53.no joke. In Indianapolis, a storm barrelled through the morning rush,
:01:54. > :02:04.wrecking a FedEx truck in three. In Northwest Indiana, 30 inches or snow
:02:05. > :02:11.swallow traffic. The snow cripple crippled Phil -- crippled
:02:12. > :02:19.Philadelphia. Almost 3000 cancellations and 2000 delays. Is
:02:20. > :02:24.forget about it. Stay home. We search for the souls who cannot stay
:02:25. > :02:28.at home. We ran into Sheila, a postal worker who talk to us about
:02:29. > :02:35.battling record heat. I interviewed you six months ago but it was hot.
:02:36. > :02:42.And now it is not. It is coming down but it is okay. It is not so bad. I
:02:43. > :02:50.would rather the cold then the heat. The stormers painting the East Coast
:02:51. > :02:58.White. Watch the clock, it will pull away on Wednesday morning. Behind it
:02:59. > :03:03.are in tensed wins and cold. We're going to pull up and tie them up and
:03:04. > :03:09.hope that Mother Nature does not take them again. We have a state of
:03:10. > :03:11.emergency for New York, New Jersey and Tennessee. Philadelphia and
:03:12. > :03:16.Boston schools cup shut down tomorrow. This is about halfway
:03:17. > :03:21.done, whatever we have had, that will double. We have another
:03:22. > :03:25.headline that we need to look at the cold, look at the map. It starts
:03:26. > :03:30.tomorrow. You can see the Thames, 20s 30s and 40s. It goes through
:03:31. > :03:35.Friday. The cold does not break until the end of the weekend. I have
:03:36. > :03:43.got my electric gloves ready for the polar air mass. With all of the cold
:03:44. > :03:45.we want to show you the night something happening that we have not
:03:46. > :03:57.seen before. The great Lakes freezing up. It looks more like the
:03:58. > :04:00.North Pole than the midwest, this endless pool of ice is Lake
:04:01. > :04:08.Michigan, captured by a camera on a drone flying above. Last year only
:04:09. > :04:13.38% of the great Lakes froze over but this year researchers predict
:04:14. > :04:18.the ice coverage to be almost double that for January and February. Brett
:04:19. > :04:25.Houston says the extra ice has kept them busy responding to calls. A lot
:04:26. > :04:30.of people will see the ice and think they can stand on it. But your hand
:04:31. > :04:36.goes right through. Another unexpected side-effect is the
:04:37. > :04:45.propane problems. The cold blast draining supplies. Prices are up 20%
:04:46. > :04:55.in some places. The ball the chill has been good for some. In Lake
:04:56. > :04:57.Placid New York, it is exactly what they need for a major hockey
:04:58. > :05:02.tournament this weekend. We have no choice but to flood the rinks
:05:03. > :05:06.because the ice gets so cold that it cracks. On Lake Superior for the
:05:07. > :05:12.first time in five years, visitors are walking on the lake for a
:05:13. > :05:16.glimpse at the stunning sea caves covered in icicles. A frozen
:05:17. > :05:27.masterpiece in the middle of a relentless winter. The Arctic blast
:05:28. > :05:35.and Arctic cold is not going away soon. We asked for a survival guide
:05:36. > :05:38.tonight for the best coats and a reality check on how much heat we
:05:39. > :05:43.lose. Emergency room slide are getting ready for an influx of
:05:44. > :05:49.frostbite and hypothermia. Look how fast heat seeps out when you're not
:05:50. > :05:52.bundled up. Remove the glove and in less than 60 seconds the orange and
:05:53. > :05:58.yellow he disappears and frostbite to -- begins. I am wearing three
:05:59. > :06:03.layers, a down jacket under this, look when we read turn to these
:06:04. > :06:08.infrared camera. With the bright spots, that is heat escaping and is
:06:09. > :06:12.not good. But all winter coats are created equal and we took the
:06:13. > :06:18.infrared camera on the streets to show how. You're wearing a fleece
:06:19. > :06:23.jacket and you are wearing a down. You're losing heat on the shoulders.
:06:24. > :06:28.You look at warm. Look at these. Even with those layers, baguette at
:06:29. > :06:33.her zipper, heat escaping through it. Her friend's zipper is covered
:06:34. > :06:42.up by a wind flap and he is warm. If you think will is the answer. --
:06:43. > :06:46.wall. The warmest coat is a down coat, the longer the better. It has
:06:47. > :06:55.a zipper covered with a wind flap, a Waterford -- exterior. You will
:06:56. > :07:00.still want to wear a hat underneath. Our extreme weather team will be
:07:01. > :07:05.staying out in the storm to cover it all. We move now to another urgent
:07:06. > :07:09.story, the hunt under way in Russia the night, authorities placing --
:07:10. > :07:14.chasing a big lead on terrorism. Word that a black widow suicide
:07:15. > :07:18.bomber may have been spotted on the ground near the Olympic site. Also,
:07:19. > :07:33.what about the 15,000 Americans who go to the Olympics, buyer. We talked
:07:34. > :07:39.about keeping them safe. Today, his parents in Wisconsin said that they
:07:40. > :07:41.will not be going to be Winter Olympics. Their son has asked them
:07:42. > :07:48.not to go because of his concerns they could be a terror attack. He
:07:49. > :07:53.wanted us to stay home so he would not have to worry about us. And the
:07:54. > :07:58.concern is only growing will stop as Russian authorities continue to come
:07:59. > :08:03.up short in their efforts to find a possible female suicide bomber. This
:08:04. > :08:08.22 year old, so-called Black widow is believed to be already in Sochi,
:08:09. > :08:14.preparing to act. They have the idea that they are using terrorism as a
:08:15. > :08:20.four of war. The alleged bomber was reportedly last seen in the downtown
:08:21. > :08:25.area of the city. She is likely not alone, according to a top US
:08:26. > :08:31.official. My concern is that there are many more that could potentially
:08:32. > :08:36.pose a threat. I concerned about this particular case because she
:08:37. > :08:41.broke through the perimeter and got into Sochi. Russia continues to
:08:42. > :08:46.insist that it has security issues under control. Counterterrorism
:08:47. > :08:54.officials said they had killed one of the leaders of the Islamic terror
:08:55. > :08:59.groups targeting Sochi. Brian, what about the 15,000 Americans, a
:09:00. > :09:06.family, the friends. That is too many. We did loan that President
:09:07. > :09:10.Putin talk to President Obama. President Obama offered more US
:09:11. > :09:17.assistance which could include equipment that could jam roadside
:09:18. > :09:22.bombs. Thank you again. Tonight we also have a reminder of just how
:09:23. > :09:26.small of the world is really is. We have seen how bad President Xi
:09:27. > :09:31.Jinping air pollution is. SO fit it is hard to make out the person next
:09:32. > :09:35.to you. What we have learned tonight is that some of the pollution
:09:36. > :09:40.troubles all the way here. The path varies but it takes on five to seven
:09:41. > :09:46.days to reach the United States. When it hits the Rocky Mountains,
:09:47. > :09:50.some of its dusty trail. We were told that up to 10% of the air
:09:51. > :09:54.pollution on the West Coast can be traced back to China. Specifically,
:09:55. > :10:00.the manufacture of all the cellphones on TV.
:10:01. > :10:06.A former Olympian is in the news tonight. Chris Christie of New
:10:07. > :10:10.Jersey on the very day he was sworn in for a second term, another new of
:10:11. > :10:16.bullying. Our correspondent has more.
:10:17. > :10:24.Chris Christie began his second term sporting a more presidential hacker
:10:25. > :10:29.and noticeably lighter on its feet. Today cancelled the inaugural party
:10:30. > :10:33.but as a storm of scandal that has damaged his straight shooter
:10:34. > :10:37.political brand and undercut his pledge of bipartisanship. We have to
:10:38. > :10:43.be willing to play outside the boxes at the media puts us in. Today,
:10:44. > :10:49.another accusation. This time from New Jersey's in sprinter, Carl
:10:50. > :10:56.Lewis. He accuses Christie of withdrawing and offer to be the
:10:57. > :11:02.state athletic ambassador. It was clear that he was going to do what
:11:03. > :11:06.it took to get me out of the way. Intimidation, I think he is trying
:11:07. > :11:12.to intimidate me. At the three New Jersey man, already accusing the of
:11:13. > :11:17.bullying. The Christie says that the charge is just sour grapes because
:11:18. > :11:22.he failed residency requirement. The man who outran the world that he
:11:23. > :11:27.could not break through the hard-core political world of Chris
:11:28. > :11:34.Christie's New Jersey. We moved next to a alert about how to survive a
:11:35. > :11:38.heart attack. One factor may be the day and time of day it happens.
:11:39. > :11:39.Today, the respected clinic looked at what happens in the emergency
:11:40. > :11:51.room. Crushing pain, a blackout. The race
:11:52. > :11:57.to get to the hospital. Trying to survive a heart attack. If you
:11:58. > :12:02.arrive at the hospital at night or the weekends you have a 5% higher to
:12:03. > :12:06.the dying. That means 2000 extra deaths per year. It is not a heart
:12:07. > :12:10.attack a different it is just the timing. The clinical data records of
:12:11. > :12:14.2 million heart-attack patients from 42 studies. The key to treating
:12:15. > :12:18.their type of heart attack, a balloon that clears the arteries.
:12:19. > :12:25.Those arriving at the emergency room at night or weekend received that
:12:26. > :12:30.treatment 15 minutes later. There are fewer staff and resources at
:12:31. > :12:36.night or at weekends. That is true. Meaning the solution could be as
:12:37. > :12:40.simple as staffing. If this is about staffing in hospitals what is a
:12:41. > :12:47.patient in? If you think there is any chance you will have a heart
:12:48. > :12:50.attack, dial 911. If you live near a teaching hospital, you are in luck
:12:51. > :12:55.because they tend to be better staffed. Something everyone can do
:12:56. > :13:00.if you think you are having a heart attack, Chew and aspirin. It will
