of accuweather.com. good morning, rob and sunny. still keeping it chilly, unfortunately, across the northeast of new england. what s left of sandy low area of pressure across canada dragging in chilly air. many spots still without power. this is north what we want to see. unfortunately that s going to continue. this northwesterly wind continues to bring in cold air so through today, through the weekend so becoming progressively colder. this sets the stage for potential storm system. again, not what we want to see here. it should be noted, no matter what happens here, nothing like what we saw with sandy as it moved inland. but more of your typical nor easter on tap here. two possible tracks, one takes it out to sea, could swing back inland and talking rain and potentially snowfall. rob and sunny, back to you. > that s a significant problem. that s a significant problem because you have a lot of these elderly people like we saw in the report from staten island where they re in their ho
money because there are a lot of people that travel in. the local businesses thrive during that time, and $340 million is a lot of money for the city. i get it. after this devastation. i get the economy. i get the charity part of it. i get that folks have already booked hotels and flights. i get that you want to make a statement that new york is still going to be new york and all that. they re still finding bodies in homes. cops and workers have been working for days-long shifts. it s time to restrain resources and running in all that hoopla that folks just lost everything. there s no right answer. i wonder what our viewers think. chime in. we will we read some of those responses on monday. well, coming up, our coverage of the aftermath of hurricane sandy continues. up next, we introduce you to some dedicated health workers who are making sure some of our most vulnerable citizens have what they need to survive. but first, here again, is how you can help. you re watching
a couple showers here, nothing substantial in the way of precipitation, but this northwesterly wind will continue. that just brings that chilly air in out of darngs turning progressively colder each night headed through the weekend and that sets the stage for a potential coastal snowstorm. wouldn t be anything like sandy here. more your typical nor easter. two potential paths, one could take it out to sea. rob and sunny, back to you. say it ain t so. unbelievable. well, new york officials are facing criticism for going forward with the new york marathon this sunday despite the devastation left behind by sandy. the actual course through the city s five boroughs suffered little damage. runners will arrive by bus or ferry to the starting line in staten island, and traces of the storm have already been cleared from the finish line in central park. mayor michael bloomberg defended the decision to hold the race. by sunday we ll have electricity back downtown. that will free up an eno
