we have 17 inches of snow in laporte, indiana, between south bend and gary. you can see it's still coming down here. some of the state highways and just off the interstates, there are some reports of some motorists stranded because of the severe snow coming down here. we can expect that to continue. not so severe but certainly enough snow to get people worried in nashville and north georgia and some snows now falling across parts of d.c. and virginia beach. most of the northeast with this system by the time the cold air comes in, tonight, most of the moisture will be gone but the lake-effect snows will keep cranking. also watching the system coming into the pacific northwest which will increase the risk of landslides as their soil is already saturated. kyra, back to you. right now president obama is getting ready to sign a piece of legislation designed to make the food we feed our kids better. it's the healthy hunger-free kids act of 2010. on hand as well is michelle obama.
