Likely watching indoors and warm. Unlike the millions of americans who found themselves driving in the middle of a very dangerous ice storm this sunday. A 50car pileup late today on the pennsylvania turnpike that turned deadly. It wasnt the only one. More than two dozen cars colliding outside milwaukee. A dangerous mix of snow and ice there. All of this part of a major system that had already left its mark on the south. Homes, trees still frozen in ice tonight. And in plano, outside dallas, just look and listen to this. Ice coming off of a roof. That was something. Meanwhile, at the dallas ft. Worth airport tonight, hundreds of stranded passengers spending a second night now sleeping at the terminal. And tonight, that storm is moving fast. Our extreme weather team on all of it. We begin with rob nelson in a snowy virginia tonight. Reporter blinding snow and slick roads are leading to pileup after pileup tonight. In milwaukee, this 30car crash caused multiple injuries. And on the pennsylvania turnpike, a 50car wreck killed one driver. This is where i have been for the last two or three hours. Reporter roadways locked in an icy grip. The snow and ice have been wrecking havoc for days in the south. So much ice on this Apartment Building roof in texas, its falling off in sheets. And now, that system is barrelling north. This time lapse video shows just how quickly the storm blanketed roads in pennsylvania. Authorities tonight urging drivers to stay off the roads. That hidden danger, black ice, which forms when the temperatures of the pavement is colder than the air above it, causing more than a quarter million crashes every year. And travel by air isnt any easier. More than 2,000 Flights Canceled today, ground stops at the airport in philadelphia and in washingtons reagan national. The rush is on to deice those planes. Even football was tough today. Detroit lion reggie bush had to skip the game after injuring himself on the slippery field in philadelphia. For those who did play, it was a challenge. And, of course, all this snow may be pretty to look at, but the big question is this. How will the storm impact that allimportant monday morning commute . David . That is the big question, rob, thank you. As you point out, this ice storm began in the south and they are still feeling the effects, outdoors and indoors, if you are one of the hundreds stuck in the terminal at the Dallas Airport tonight.

Friday, the line was all the way back there, probably at least 200 yards. Reporter airport officials provide what they can. Free food and entertainment. Doing their best to diffuse tensions. Doing everything from 2yearolds to a 65yearold. Reporter but 72 hours after the crippling ice storm began, things are finally looking up. This afternoon, nere and his family are finally confirmed to london. Bit by bit, passenger by passenger, dfw airport is slowly getting back to normal. The scene behind me says it all. The lines are getting shorter, and more flights are taking off. David . Our thanks to mike tonight. What a nightmare there. And the massive system behind all of this on the move tonight. We want to bring in meteorologist cecily tynan from philadelphia, wpvi. Always great to have you with us. We showed a moment ago that pileup on the pennsylvania turnpike. Extremely dangerous tonight across the northeast. Reporter certainly is, david. Unfortunately, the situation will be getting worse tonight before it gets better. You look around me, you see this blanket of snow. What will happen, with this low pressure moving up the eastern seaboard, it will gradually pull in warmer air. We will get a change over to rain by tomorrow morning. But first, we have to deal with sleet and freezing rain on top of the snow and that will cause a lot of problems. So, this is what to expect additional snow, sleet and freezing rain. Were looking at about two inches in allentown. That could cause a lot of problems on the roads. Areas south of philadelphia got 6 to 10 inches of snow. So, this certainly has been an overachieving snowstorm. David . As you told me earlier, much of the country going to be very cold the next 24 hours. Reporter thats exactly right. Once the storm system moves out, the focus will be an arctic blast moving in from the Northern Plains states. Fargo, north dakota, these are highs now hovering around zero.

Reporter tonight, new questions arise as to why the pentagon chose to spend more than 1 billion on dozens of russian mi17 helicopters, to support afghan troops, bypassing u. S. Manufacturers. The Defense Department signed the deal more than two years ago and pentagon officials defended the move, citing a 2010 top secret study, which they said recommended the russian helicopter as the top choice. But the Associated Press has obtained excerpts of the study, which said the u. S. Manufactured chinook helicopter was the, quote, most Cost Effective single platform type fleet for the Afghan Air Force over a 20year period. The russian deal sparking outrage in congress, as lawmakers pressed officials during Defense Department budget hearings in april. With all the tens of billions of dollars we put into afghanistan, this is a tough one to justify. Reporter the Defense Department says the Afghan Military already trains and uses the russian chopper, while the u. S. Chinook would require retraining afghan forces. We are trying to provide them as much capability as possible, so that they can, in fact, take responsibility for security. Reporter a pentagon spokesman tells abc news the russian helicopter is the only one that could meet our immediate and nearterm requirements in afghanistan. The pentagon says it has purchased 63 brand new mi 17s at an average cost of about 18 million per aircraft. The last shipment is scheduled to be on the ground by september of 2014. David .
