Yeah, its monday so its no im talking about more snow. We saw wide spread 3 to 6 inches of snow fall this weekend out of this system, and it made an absolute mess of the roadways. There were several multicar pileups over the weekend like this one in missouri where 25 vehicles were involved in this crash. In virginia, icy roads are responsible for more than 100 crashes there. And nearly every state in the country saw snow of some kind this weekend. In massachusetts it was a close call for a youth hockey team when the roof collapsed during practice. No one was injured but its a scary reminder how much snow is so far in boston we have picked up 103. 9 inches of snow this season. All it will take is 3. 8 more inches for this to be the alltime snowiest winter ever on record for the city of boston. Where i am now this is actually the traditional route for the famous st. Patricks day parade. The route of the parade and even the parade itself is in jeopardy right now because theres so much snow that they dont have room for a parade. But as long as were talking about records, when do you think were going to cross the threshold of 107. 6 inches . You think thursday . I think thursday but its going to be close, dylan, before it changes to rain. Well have to wait and see. Thanks so much. Lets show you looking at this next storm system getting together in the southwest.

Snowfall totals generally out to the rockies, 1 to 2 feet, about 3 to 6 inches north of new york city and boston. 1 to 2 inches generally there. Then another storm system coming in on thursday.

Investigation is under way this morning into a Deadly Police shooting out in los angeles. That graphic scene captured on camera by witnesses. Gabe gutierrez has the latest. Good morning to you. Good morning. Police say the man was shot after struggling to take an officers gun. Overnight multiple videos of the incident have been viewed millions of times on social media. We warn you while we wont show you the fatal gun shots the scene is disturbing. The videos posted on facebook sunday show a group of officers confronting a man they say is a robbery suspect. Hes taken down and several officers try to cuff him. As they wrestle you hear a taser. Someone yelled drop the gun, then at least five gun shots from three officers. Bystanders are stunned. During the attempt to detain him this individual resisted our officers, they struggled with him, they tried to tase him a couple times. That was ineffective. And eventually the struggle occurred where the officers were struggling over one of the weap the shooting sparking outrage on l. A. s skid row. Police have not released the suspects name, witnesses say he was homeless. He didnt bother nobody. He didnt have no weapon. They shot him. I think it was extreme. There was no reason to do the guy. Dennis horn took one of the videos did he reach for officers we you didnt see that . My eyes didnt see that. The lapd promise as thorough investigation around the country confrontations involving officers have become increasingly scrutinized in the wake of ferguson. And in this case there are still many unanswered questions. I think its unfair. Police say the suspect was not carrying his own firearm, at least one of the officers was wearing a body camera. And investigators are checking to see what it recorded. Matt and savannah. Its disturbing footage. Gabe gutierrez, thank you. In washington now israeli prime mi netanyahu has arrived ahead of a controversial speech to congress tomorrow. And that visit at the invitation of republicans, is starting to further strain the obama administrations relations with israel. Andrea mitchell is chief Foreign Affairs correspondent following this for us. Good morning. Good morning. Prime minister netanyahu is under fire from the white house and from some of israels democratic allies in congress for high Profile Campaign against a nuclear deal with iran. Arriving in washington without fanfare late sunday, israels Prime Minister at the center of a political fire stormtioned by the president , Vice President and secretary of state. For coming to Lobby Congress against a nuclear deal with iran. Without prior notice to the white house. Only two weeks before israels election. Obviously it was odd if not unique that we learned of it from the speaker of the house and that administration was not included in this process. John kerry is in switzerland, continuing the Nuclear Talks with iran while Netanyahu Addresses Congress tomorrow. Before leaving tel Aviv Netanyahu called the trip a crucial and even historic mission. But nearly 200 of israels former top military leaders criticized him for creating a rift with the u. S. Which they say could even make a deal with iran more likely. President obama and netanyahu have crossed swords before, but this marks a low point in their relationship. I think this is really pushing close to being the worst dysfunctional relationship between an american president and an israeli Prime Minister weve seen. A crisis the white house blames on israels leader. There has now been injected a degree of partisanship which is not only unfortunate, i think its destructive of the fabric of the relationship. More than 30 democratic members of congress say they will not attend netanyahus speech to congress and Vice President biden who clashed with netanyahu in the past is going to be in guatemala. Andrea mitchell, thank you. A lot in washington going on. Good morning. Important news the Surpreme Court is going to hear, a challenge to president obamas Signature Health care policy that could deal it a crippling blow. The question the justices must answer, who qualifies for federal subsidies that low ter cost of Health Insurance premiums . More than 6 million lower income americans depend on the subsidies which reduce premiums by 270 a month. The Health Insurance industry warns if the challengers succeed the Affordable Care act would enter what they call a death spiral. Here we go again with a partial shutdown of the Homeland Security department possible. Speerk john boehner says the house wants to enter talks with the senate on a final bill funding the agent but Senate Democrats are not interested in joining those talks. Last friday congress cleared a oneweek extension for the department. Democrats largely opposed legislation that connects funding the agency with the president s executive action on immigration.
