Looking for clues in the last moments of a great actor 's life.

Heroin addiction facing so many families tonight. This intense

winter that will not quit. A second storm is now moving on to 142

million Americans who just dugout of the first one. More and more states

will be shipped over the evening. 21 states in all will be affected. We

have been hearing from you about snow and all of the salt slowly

corroding your car. Our extreme weather team has a camera on its

tonight. -- on its tonight. After a snowy January, winter is throwing an

icy plunge. The second winter storm this week caused deadly ice buildup

on roads in Texas. Today a large accident. One accident -- one

bystander was killed. Here a layer of ice is bringing down power lines

and in Kansas the only thing getting traction is frustration. In misery

today, we hit the road with a snowplough driver. She is valiantly

fighting an uphill battle. How dangerous is it here? It is pretty

dangerous. People should stay off the road and let us get out here and

clear it. To give you an idea of how fast the snow is coming down, this

is what it looks like at 8am. And this is what it looked like at 4pm.

The relentless slog is showing, on hundreds of miles of roads. It is

horrible. I ran over several potholes on the way here. All of the

salt being used is rusting the underside of cars, corroding doors

and brakes, and can ruin the paint. In Atlanta, auto repair shops are

ten times busier than normal. Hailstorms, floods, snow are

nightmares. Two thirds of snow district -- of school districts are

having days off. This can Turkey elementary school principal and

drama teacher are hoping that laughter will cure a bit of cabin

fever. You can see that we have already hit five inches here in

Kansas City but the storm is not done yet. Forecasters say that it

could come down as much as one inch per hour the night, reaching a foot

in some places before moving east. Alan meteorologist tells us how fast

the storm is moving and when the next one will come. V show you the

timing. Everybody is wondering, it is not snowing on the east coast.

Don't worry, it will. Places like Cleveland, even parts of Michigan,

are getting its tonight. We start at 3am, new York city will get snow.

That snow line will go from heavy snow quickly to freezing rain and

then mix. That will cut down snow totals and it will get rid of it by

the evening. Boston could get a lot of snow. Six to 12 inches in the

pink. Washington, DC and Cincinnati will get that freezing rain and ice

issues. Thank you so much. To a different kind of storm, a new

headline about the Barmah care. A big new report says that it might

change jobs and how people work in America. The healthcare law will

result in 2 million fewer full-time workers by 2017, according to a

non-partisan Congressional budget office. The The report actually says

that 2 million fewer people will choose to work full-time. They are

making a choice about their overall quality of life. They can pursue

something entrepreneurial deal be new jobs. How is that? Consider two

examples. Firstly those that can afford to work less. Previously they

would have had to stay in the job to keep insurance. But others will find

it is not worth it to work full-time. Why? Because under

Obamacare free healthcare is only available to those with low or no

income. If you need more money, you have to pay more. Others say that it

won't cost any jobs at all. They point to Massachusetts. Universal

healthcare resulted in no significant job loss. Other big news

out of Washington today. Some relief for the millions of Americans facing

a drastic cut in food stamps. After a two-year fight, the Senate passed

a farm bill. It is far less in cuts that will -- then Republicans wanted

to cut. Tonight in Russia. A scramble to get dangerous events

ready for Sochi. Today, a confident Vladimir Putin. Even having a Snow

Leopard. This is to include vests? Seven years after winning the games,

Sochi are scrambling to finish its hotels. Not everything is ready.

Dozens of areas are not ready for journalists. It is an embarrassment.

Roads need to be finished. Crews have been ordered to work around the

clock. The one thing that -- they say that they are allowed to take a

break for is a smoking break. This road was just dirt this morning. Now

they have almost a mile of road finished. My friend says that in two

hours this whole thing will be done. Battier at home. A sobering warning

about the fight against cancer. In the next 20 years, the number of

people diagnosed with cancer will skyrocket. So will the number of

deaths. The number one killer around the globe will be lung cancer. Our

reporter has a new strategy to keep some of the youngest Americans from

ever getting hooked. The FDA are appealing to teenage manatee. They

are showing how smoking hurts your looks. People as young as 20 years

old again to see negative effects. Wrinkles around the mouth. The eight

ageing effects of smoking have long been known. The woman on the rights

born. He was a heroin addict before I was a child. I knew when he was

high. I could see the track marks two. I think my father's addiction

has really made me who I am today. You try to be everything that that

person couldn't be. He never got to see what became of me and my

brother. I think he would be really proud to see us now. Philip Seymour

Hoffman is the new face of this formidable enemy. He leaves behind

family children and friends. Cecilia is here now. I know it is tough to

talk about something so close to you. It is strange to see my father

on TV but I am glad to share his story because it affects so many

families just like mine. Supportive loving families that learn to live
