we have a live look in new york city. we are plowing our way through. it is coated with a sheet of ice and the new york city area under a state of emergency. on long island, they have shut down major highways for the first time in my lifetime. they closed the l.i.e. and officials are closing all new york city schools. >> it is remarkable when you see what's going on here. we have live team coverage. we're going to begin with maria molina tracking the path of this monster. maria, how are you doing out there? >> good morning, everybody. it does feel very cold. you've really got to bundle up as you head out the door this morning. most of you probably do not have work. if that's the case, i recommend that you stay home. the snow out here is actually very fluffy. it's not good snowball making snow. good news for you steve doocy. but it really is the case because it's so cold out here, wind chills looking like below zero across so many areas across the northeast. let's look at snowfall totals. these were released by the national weather service. portions of e

new york city, up into boston. a coastal low has taken over here and that's making some progress now off to the east. the snow will be slowly coming to an end here, as the storm does depart. but still, a couple hours of significant snowfall. but really by 7:00 a.m., that's when we'll start to see conditions improve in boston and new york city. more towards noon for those conditions to improve in and around cape cod and around the coast of maine. now, to head forward here, we certainly have that cold air in place. we rebound temperature-wise a bit into the weekend. and a historic shot of cold air early next week. we're going to be toppling records all across the country here with that. reena and muhammad, back to you. >>> well, this storm is dominating social media overnight. the pictures are being posted, fast and furious, on twitter. >> here's some of the social media pictures that caught our eye. this one, the ruler says it all. the picture taken from our chicago affiliate. just about a foot of snow there in the

you can see trouble in new york city. we already got i-84 closed to traffic from midnight to 5:00 a.m. the long island expressway, trouble. traffic into and out of manhattan. look at the northeast and in new england. massachusetts and new hampshire, vermont, trouble there. along i-90 along the top of the country, upper new york and into the midwest delays there as well. now to the air. and a realtime live radar image of all the planes in the air at this moment. not nearly as many as we normally see this time of day. that's because already more than 8,000 flights delayed or canceled so far today. live picture now. jfk in new york. some arriving flights delayed by five hours there. we're coming over to the flight aware misery map. so far for the new york city airports, we've got a total of about 81 canceled flights, 111 delays. look at how it spreads across the country. that's the impact. orange and red are not good. detroit, same story. about three cancellations so far. 37 delays, but chicago o'hare now, a big problem. 82

. >> new york city is hosting the super bowl. >> new york. >> new york city. >> reporter: but there's one small problem. actually the game won't even be played in new york, but instead about eight miles west of the big apple in new jersey. >> oh, yeah, new jersey, same thing. >> not if you ask new jersey senator bob menendez. >> peyton manning isn't going to be scoring in central park. it's going to be happening here in new jersey. >> you wouldn't necessarily know it if you looked at the hype around the game. the nfl's epicenter, the super bowl boulevard is in the heart of times square. super bowl tickets and official material, the vince lombardi trophy is imposed on the new york city skyline with new jersey barely noticeable. >> how do you feel about all the attention being given to new york but the game is actually held in new jersey? >> that's not fair. >> reporter: while the nfl insists the shoupe bowl is shared between the two states, this is about much more than bragging rights. >> it would have been great if the giants or the jets were the ones playing. having the pride of havi

york and the whole area of northern new jersey and new york city. the security cautions have been intense, haven't they? >> they've been enormous. this is what happens really at every super bowl. i've seen them, covered many of them. of course, however, this is the largest metropolitan area you can imagine with really so many wide-ranging venues. you've gotten a venue 12, 15 miles away from times square in new york where so many activities are going on and you have a well ordained team of federal, state, and local agencies who have gone through this drill before but now on a much broader scale, so they are well equipped. they have said repeatedly to respond to this kind of thing. and at this moment, wolf, no one is raising any alarms. they're doing what they're supposed to do as things come up. at this point, they're calling it, in their words, a routine matter as they respond to this. it doesn't mean they another concerned about it. it doesn't mean they're throwing all their effort into it. but they're obviously responding as they would to any kind

new york city police commissioner bill bratton. >> as a new yorker, as a u.s. citizen, i can only express disgust at the actions of the individuals involved. >> reporter: in all, more than 100 are charged, including 72 former members of the nypd. more than half the cases came from those claiming the events of 9/11 left them unfit to work. prosecutors say that ring leaders coached the men on how to act when examined by doctors and how to apply for benefits. the operation funneled by ex-cops joseph esposito and john minerva as well as raymond lavallee, a former fbi agent, and thomas hale, a pension consultant. the attorney. >> the mention of this indictment is that if you're considering falsifying or bilking any administration service for disability benefits, you shouldn't and if you do, you're going get caught. >> reporter: joseph esposito's attorney is brian griffin. >> mr. esposito proudly served this city as a new york city plifb and he came to court today and said two very important words. he said "not guilty." >> proposition cuters say the investigation is

people know that crime in new york city is at record lows. we have the lowest murders in our history. it's the safest big city in america, under mayor bloomberg crime was down about 33%. what people don't know is we didn't accomplish that by locking people up. in fact, incarceration rates were down over the last 12 years 30%. so while we drove crime down, enormous credit goes to ray kelly and the nypd. while they drove crime down by a third, they also were locking fewer people up, 33% fewer people, at the same time that incarceration rates nationally were up by 5%. so that's an important fact and i want to make sure that those facts are out there. i worked for a very data-driven mayor. he wasn't big on rhetoric, but he believed in facts and data. those are important facts and data. when we talk about a dickensian city, it's important to note we have today more private sector jobs in new york than any time in the city's history, and while poverty rose over the last decade in most other cities in the country, it remained flat here. that's not g

even warmer tomorrow. 45 in new york city. for the super bowl, it could be 50 degrees with showers in the morning. kickoff probably low to mid 40s and the rain will be done. a warm super bowl for this time of year. >> we've earned it. >> we have. it's been a rough two weeks. >>> bill, thank you, sir. coming up on "morning joe," new signs the economy might be growing. is it too late for the president to save his legacy. we're going to talk that topic around the table in a few minutes. >>> then we'll come back here and huddle around the water cooler. louis is live. he's going to take us inside the festivities. he has a secret weapon under that helmet. we'll show you when we get back.
