The stays walk is under way. This is the kind of stuff i feel like i can watch nonstop. Its fascinating. Im always fascinating by the strength of that live signal that we get from space. Sometimes we get a live shot from jersey. I cant even get cell phone signal in my house. Well get to that in a moment. Our top story this morning is that unbearable threat of cold weather. March holding true to the saying. As if boston hasnt had enough trouble this year by the time this storm is over the city could set a record for its snowiest winter ever reported and it isnt just massachusetts that could get hit. The latest round of Winter Weather has alerts over dozens of states. You get to deliver the good news . Unfortunately, happy march, everybody, but its the same old weather pattern. We have the snow and rain and ice. Weve seen this picture before. Winter weather advisory. Its stretching all the way from the midwest through new york city and boston. Yet this could put you over the edge in boston. Record snowfall for the season. Several inches of snow in indianapolis. Heres the freezing line. Were watching out for a potential of ice. A dangerous situation in north carolina. Driving will be very difficult there and the snow gradually works its way into new york city and new england.

Nbcs Kristen Dahlgren has been following this for us. Good morning to you. Good morning, craig. We have terry virts and Barry Wilmore out there. You can see exactly what they are working on right now. This is one of those things that you really need to trust the smart men and women on the ground because there was a little extra high drama when water was detected in one of the astronauts helmets after the last walk. Nasa decided it would be safe to continue with this walk but engineers are watching closely. Everything is clear and im ready to go. Reporter this is no walk in the park. Its more like a carefully choreographed ballet more than 200 miles above the earth. Engineers watching every move to make sure seals on terry virts helmet holds. There was a small amount of water following wednesdays spacewalk but experts have seen condensation like that before and they are sure he will be safe today. If the astronauts report that something is building up in that helmet they stop the spacewalk right there. Reporter during the almost sevenhour spacewalk, the astronauts will roll out more than 400 feet of cable and install a Communications System to help guide future space taxis as they park at the iss, all towards a push for a space flight a dream alive in spite of recent setbacks. This shows the falcon 9 booster crashing back to earth in january. But today the countdown is on to another falcon 9 launch late tonight.

Controversy is growing ahead of Benjamin Netanyahus address to congress. He left tel aviv a few hours ago. This is already a divided nations capital. Kristen welker has more from the white house. Reporter good morning to you. The relationship between president obama and Benjamin Netanyahu has been frosty but according to policy experts, this visit marks one the lowest moments between the United States and its closest ally in the middle east. When Benjamin Netanyahu addresses congress on tuesday, hell face major boycotts Vice President biden and 30 others plan to miss his speech. They say he snubbed the president by accepting an invitation by the house speaker. This is a dysfunction that weve seen in the modern period. Reporter the white house says the president wont meet with netanyahu because of the upcoming israeli elections. Top officials here are still fuming over what they call a breach in protocol. There has now been injected a degree of partisanship which is not only unfortunate, i think its destructive of the fabric of the relationship. I couldnt disagree more. American people and both parties in congress i have always stood with israel. Nothing and no one should get in the way of that. Reporter at the heart of the dispute, the president s efforts to strike a deal with iran over its nuclear program. Netanyahu saying it puts israel in mortal danger. The president recently tried to downplay the rift between the two leaders. I talk to him all the time. Our teams constantly coordinate. Reporter this comes a the a critical time as the u. S. Faces new threats at home and abroad. Even after invitationgate or even in the face of the u. S. iranian agreement, these two countries are going to have to restore some sense of trust in their relationship. Reporter Benjamin Netanyahu will speak and National Security advisers and ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power will also speak, adding to the mounting tension. Back to you. Kristen welker thank you. Chuck todd is moderator of meet the press. Good morning. On a scale of one to ten with one being terrible and ten being fantastic, how would you rate the relationship between the United States and israel . Between the United States and israel i would say its an eight. Between president obama and Benjamin Netanyahu, its a zero. Thats what is getting lost here. The relationship itself is fine its strong. When you think of iron dome, the Security System that has helped israel protect its citizens in a way it has never been able to do before was mostly funded by the United States and the pentagon. The relationship between the two countries is fine. Its the personal relationship that has gotten dragged into the partisan fight. The fallout now is i think the Obama Administration is more determined to make an agreement with iran the more that netanyahu complains about it. Lets turn to congress. As you know a setback for john boehner two nights ago. Yeah. Lots of people in his own party not voting for the threeweek extension of the Homeland Security funding. They got the oneweek instead. How real is the danger to john boehner . If not him, who . There is nobody if you somehow dump him. Remember hes still had the majority of the republican conference side with him, whether it was the threeweek or oneweek deal. It is a vocal minority inside the Republican House that is upset with john boehner. But hes going to be walking a line this week craig. What he desperately hopes is that the federal courts tell the president he cannot start implementing his immigration decision until the Supreme Court rules. He hopes he hears about that this week because it makes his life easier at the end of the week to fund this thing. Chuck todd thank you. Always appreciate you. Well opportunity in to meet the press. New video surfaced the of the three missing teenagers that are believed to be on the run with isis. Sheinelle has more on that. There is a video of them waiting at a bus station in turkey.

Back now on a sunday morning with a story of one teen who is really shooting for the stars at a young age. She became a published author at 13 and already some people are drawing comparisons between her and some pretty famous writers. Nbcs kelly caught up with her. Reporter first, there was harry potter. Twilight came to Stephanie Meyer in a dream when she was in her late 20s. Susan collins created the hunger games in her 40s after writing for tv and now helen and her new book, the catalyst, written when she was just 13 years old. I mean youre a published author. I know. I cant really im an author. I have to tell myself that. I cant believe it. Reporter the book has magic, like harry potter and is set in her favorite city london. A futuristic london. Theres war, a horrible secret and a teenage heroine. I wanted to create a precedent that says that girls neither cared about being attractive or getting boyfriends or being transformed in that way could see someone who didnt care about that who had bigger worries, like saving the world. Reporter she wrote the book during lunch breaks. Her dad showed it to a publisher and before she knew it she had a book deal. Is it the next harry potter . One viewer seems to think so but shes playing it cool. I will be perfectly open to the idea of it coming to the big screen. You may as well try and plan for pigs flying. Reporter besides, she has bigger worries right now. The sequel has been written but studying for school exams, thats a whole other story. For today, nbc news london. Tune in to meet the press this morning. The guest is kevin mccarthy. They will talk about the fight over the Homeland Security budget. That will do it for us today on a sunday morning.

A rare occurrence had many families scrambling to the hillside. The earthquakes opened their new stadium with a win on the field. Did they win over the fans off the field as well. One of disneylands Main Attractions is threatened by fire. Well tell you how it happened. Youre watching today in the bay. Good morning. I want to give you a live look outside at San Francisco from our cameras on the san bruno mountain. Just a touch hazier than it was earlier this morning. Crisp, cool mostly clear across the bay
