the conditions are extremely difficult. we are told there was one fatality, today, that one in the state of maine, a pickup truck, we are told, hit a car. as for the airports, incredibly... incredibly we are told bradley international airport in hartford, connecticut is not closed and this morning is accepting flights. we are told logan airport, in boston, is open, but, there is a -- very little or no service there. and at last word, we were told all three major new york city airports were shut. the bottom line today, you heard it over and over but it bears repeating, do not travel, unless you have to. conditions are still extremely difficult on the roads. before i go i'll give you one piece of good news, pan down the street here. i don't know if you can see it in the shot, look above, off in the horizon, something we have not seen here, until just a few minutes ago, the first appearance of some blue sky.
