Laura ingle is live in new york city where, thankfully, we do have power. At least for now. Reporter yes, indeed. You know, jon, this is being described as a multiday event for folks in New Hampshire, that means a lot of people arent going to be seeing power back on until sunday, and that is just no fun. Its been a miserable few days for them. It is the fourth largest power outage in New Hampshires history. According to the New HampshireHomeland Security and emergency management, there are 127,000 without power, that is down from the initial number which was over 200,000. This, of course, meant many people had their thanksgiving meals by candlelight or with the help of a generator and had to make the best of the situation. We had our turkey in the oven for about an hour, and the power went out. All of a sudden i hear a crack, and i turn around, and i see the telephone pole go like this, and i thought it was just going to come down. Reporter and big problems, power problems in maine as well. 31,000 right now without power. That number has changed from the initial 104,000, thankfully. And the snow causing some pretty scary moments for one new york family. Did you hear about this . Two little boys buried in the snow in newburg about 60 miles north of new york city. They were trapped for several hours, the 11 and 9yearold boys had gone outside to build a fort but were accidentally buried in the snow bank by a snowplow. Searchers began frantically digging and found them cold but alive thanks to an air bubble in that snow bank. A neighbor says it was a really scary ordeal. The overall mood was like a panic mode. The mother, the father, they were scared, they were frightened. No one knew what to expect. Youve got two kids bury buried at the bottom of a snow bank in the winter, and its still snowing and freezing. Reporter those boys are said to be okay. Jon . Jon that is really lucky after a situation like that. Wow. Laura ingle, thank you. Reporter thanks. Leah thanksgiving day a travel mess for some people, some drivers couldnt handle the snowcovered roads in upstate new york. One pileup near buffalo closing a major highway. So how did it look for people who may be looking to head home today . St maria molina is in the fox extreme weather center. Reporter hi, leah, good to see you. Hello, everyone, and we still have snow lingering across portions of the northeast and across the great lakes, and some of this is lake enhanced, but we do have some snow across the boston area, as much as 2, even 4 inches of snow with Winter Weather advisories in effect. And you can see some snow coming down as well across parts of northern indiana. Were not looking at anything too significant, especially when you compare it to our noreaster from this past wednesday that dumped more than a foot of snow from West Virginia to parts of maine. So this time around just a couple of inches, if any, so be careful on the roadways. You are going to be encountering some slick spots. Otherwise farther west we do have a snow system rolling into washington state, oregon and even Northern California bringing in some rain out there, and some of that moisture hitting the rockies, and it is bringing in some areas of snow across parts of montana and also idaho. Now, those temperatures across the eastern half of the country are very cold this morning. Weve been looking at temperatures in the 30s as far south as parts of georgia and also the shrine carolinas. Atlanta, 40 degrees for your current temperature but much colder as you head further north, teens in minneapolis, 20s in chicago and clearland, you cleveland. Currently feels like the Single Digits in chicago and also in minneapolis, teens in the city of cleveland. By the way, in Southern California we did set some record high temperatures, and that was yesterday. Temperatures reaching the middle to upper 80s, that has changed. Today were looking at temperatures in the 70s out there, and by sunday youre going to be in the 60s in places like l. A. But take a look at the forecast, leah, coming up for sunday across the eastern half of the country, much better than today and thehe last several days. Youre going to be in the 60s across parts of the southeast, and in new york city we potentially could get to 50 drees. Right now the forecast is at 49. Lets head over to you. Leah sounds like Southern Californias the place to be this weekend. Thanks so much. Reporter thank you. Jon lets talk politics now. Democrats turning on each other now since their massive losses in the midterm elections, and it is getting more obvious. For example, senator Chuck Schumer taking the white house to task for its focus on health care after the financial meltdown. And president obama promising to veto a bipartisan tax plan promoted by Senate Majority leader harry reid. Lets talk about it with jamie weinstein, Senior Editor for the daily caller. Those Chuck Schumer comments first, jamie. He says that the democrats blew the opportunity that the American People gave them by focusing on the wrong problem, health care. Are other democrats feeling that way . Right. So i think were seeing two different things. Were seeing two different types of splits. One ideological and tactical differences emerge. And what we see with the Chuck Schumer comments, i think, are tactical differences. They believe the president wasted an opportunity after his election, wasted his Political Capital in pushing the Health Care Bill through congress which they say only affected a small number of people who were uninsured when they could have used their Political Capital, the white house could have used its Political Capital pushing other policies. But now after this disastrous 2014 election with the president not having another term, youre seeing democrats come out and saying say that openly, most notely as you mentioned, Chuck Schumer. Jon dont you think, though, that health care would have proved more popular if all of the things the president said about it turned out to be true . For instance, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor . Absolutely it would have turned out to have been more popular. But they knew when they passed it, as the gruber comments show, that was not going to be true. So they had to mask the Health Care Law in this wall of lies in order to get it passed. And it might have been more popular as well if president obama reached out to the other side and was able to get some republicans onboard with the bill. But this was, as you remember, straight down the line democratic vote to get this Health Care Law passed which, ultimately, which i think is Chuck Schumers criticism, poisoned the well and ruined president obamas Political Capital to push anything else through congress over the next several years of any significance. Jon and then theres this tax cut bill which is rather extraordinary, both houses have agreed on this tax cut bill, and the president is promising to veto it. Right. You have harry reid, who has been in there negotiating this bill, a lot of these provisions are basically things that have to be renewed every year. Theyre trying to give some certainty to businesses saying these tax cuts will be there permanently, and the president has said he will veto it because he wants other provisions that are not in the bill that have been stripped from it in order to get it through congress before next year when the Republican Senate takes over, and it will be a far less good bill to go to the president s desk from the democrats perspective. But the president s coming in here and saying, no way, i want it my way or the highway here. So were seeing a kind of a different split there where youre seeing the president not trying to look for bipartisanship, not trying to compromise but basically kind of asserting himself saying for these next two years, you know, im not chastened by the 2004 elections, im still going to pursue my very ideological agenda no matter what, even if we have a compromise in the senate as we do with this bill. Jon republicans have long complained this is not a president who wants to reach out to them, but even many members of his own party are saying president obama simply doesnt like to pick up the phone and get enhanced, you know, get his hands dirty doing the negotiating that it takes to get laws passed in washington. Well, he is notorious on washington not only for not reaching out to republicans, but not reaching out to democrats very well. And i think what were seeing here beyond the democratic infighting is a president who is not interested in over the next two years, even after the 2014 defeats, of reaching out to congress or republicans. We saw that with the executive order on immigration, we might see that with the iran deal where we hear reports the president is not interested in bringing any iran deal he might negotiate to the senate, so were seeing a president who is more interested in using executive action as much as possible and ignoring congressional together. Jon he is, obviously, a lame duck, not running again, hes got two years left in office. How does all of this affect whoever the democratic candidate is going to be for president in 2016 . Well, expect to see more Hillary Clinton coming out to speak out against this president trying to distance herself, maybe subtly in the beginning, but more and more that will be much more out in the open to. She was a part of this administration, part of its Foreign Policy team which is not turning out too well around the world. But she is going to have to run against this president as long as he remains as unpopular as he is. If things dont change, youre going to have to see these Democratic Candidates speak out against the president and his policies and come out with a different course because right now the barack obama brand is toxic. Jon yeah. Popularity Approval Rating at 40 or less in most polls these days. Jamie weinstein from the daily caller, thank you. Thank you. Leah police and protesters absent from the streets of ferguson, missouri, last night with a thanksgiving calm taking hold in the downtown area, allowing folks to clean up after days of violence watered the st. Louis suburb following mondays grand jury decision in the Michael Brown shooting. No protesters are shifting tactics to focusing on stores just in time for black friday. Garrett tenny is live with the latest, what are you seeing today . Reporter last night it was the most peaceful, quiet night that weve seen since monday. There were zero arrests, its the first night that there have been zero arrests since mondays grand jury announcement. And really that is a big step here. Officials are keeping a close eye on this though. While it is a good step, they want to wait for the weekend to see how much progress theyve really made. You can see here though, and were just about half a mile from the stretch where those violent protests took place, this looks like almost any other target parking lot in the country. Folks are out here doing their holiday shopping, but one key difference and it is a big one youll see here youve got the presence of the National Guard has added extra security here, and that is acting as a constant reminder that things arent back to normal. Protesters are boycotting black friday by going into local businesses, and they are making their voices heard like at one walmart last night. Heres what some local shoppers had to say about those protesters. It seemed like theres been a lot of security riding around, police and things like that. Im not too fearful of it. Its their right to do so, but i have also my fair right to come by here and try to provide for my family. Reporter protesters are planning to keep it up throughout the day, going to those different businesses, but moving into the weekend we will be having warmer weather, and that is Something Police will be keeping an eye on as well because over the last couple days we have had this cold spell work its way through. While it has been improving, thats something theyre going to be watching as well. But, of course, everyone does hope these demonstrations remain peaceful. Leah . Leah all right, garrett, that National Guard presence certainly seems to be able to make a difference out there. Good to see people shopping on this black friday. Jon talk a little more about the coming christmas season. The north portico of the white house, you see it all wrapped up there. The National Christmas tree, First Lady Michelle Obama set to receive it. Members of the National ChristmasTree Association have presented the official tree for almost 50 years now, since 1966. This years grower comes from carbon county, pennsylvania. The third time that farmer chris bo,tek has won the Associations Annual contest and the fourth time that one of his trees will be the starring attraction in the white House Holiday display. Then on december 4th tom hanks and his wife, rita wilson, host this years National ChristmasTree Lighting in president s park near the white house. The first family also helping to light the tree. So christmas is almost here. Leah smelling a lot like christmas in the white house. [laughter] well, a frightening morning in the capital of texas where someone opened fire on a federal courthouse and a Police Station, but when cops saw what the suspect was wearing, they called for the bomb squad. Plus, reports are now out that the Obama Administration might try to fast track the release of detainees as a way of closing the door on the Guantanamo Bay detention center.

Leah growing violence in egypt ahead of what are expected to be some tense antigoth protests. Antigovernment protests. At least two egyptian officers have already been killed. Were following the developments from our mideast bureau. What are you seeing out there . Reporter well, ya, were getting a lot of reports that these demonstrations are starting to get increasingly more violent. Remember, it is a fluid situation, so were really keeping an eye on whats going on really by the hour at this point. Things are getting a little more bloody. With that, let me bring you up to speed on what were seeing and hearing. As you mentioned, leah, so far at least two from the reports were getting senior military officers have been killed, possibly a third after an attack earlier today in cairo, and now were also getting reports that as many as four protesters have been killed or were killed when Security Forces opened fire during a demonstration east of cairo, also a little bit earlier today. So again, these numbers are fluid. Were keeping an eye on i want. Egyptian eye on it. Egyptian forces have been really been bracing for large scale antigovernment protests, and at this point have already arrested 107 alleged members of the band muslim brotherhood. Remember, that group was banned in egypt on suspicion of planning attacks to coincide with todays demonstrations, with todays protests. Also another group, the radical islamic salafist front, has called for a, quote muslim youth intifada or uprising. These demonstrations, remember and this is a critical point and a very serious concern for the Egyptian Military these demonstrations come about a month after a terror attack in the northern sinai killed 31 egyptian soldiers at a checkpoint very close to the border of israel and gaza. And that group, by the way, that claimed responsibility is aligned with the Islamic State or isis as we know it and has called for more attacks, leah, in egypt and also here in israel. So again, numbers are fluid, things are changing by the hour, were keeping a close eye on it. Leah all right, jon huddy from the mideast bureau, thank you. Jon a mystery sends College Football shock waves after a big ten football star vanishes without a trace just before a crucial game with a longtime rival.
