The snow is falling and theres a half foot on the ground here. These residents joining millions of other americans facing the prospect of a white sunday night stranding some drivers on the roads and sending several others careening off of them. Watertown, new york, was blanketed during the day with more than a half foot of snow. It was a chilly contrast from the day before when the town was basking in a record high 72 degrees. The massive shift in weather was caused by the first significant lakeeffect storm of the season that dropped more than a foot of snow in the region. The storm slammed michigan as of the u. S.

This is a prewinter snowstorm that were dealing watertown, new york, when its all said and done, watertown, new york, will end up with a foot and a half maybe two feet of snow. What you look at right now, this is snow cover as a result of this storm. If you go back to last week, colorado, one day last week was about 80 degrees. Next day they had a foot of snow. Then it rumbled into northern minnesota. Northern minnesota, this bright purple shade. International falls picked up one foot, two feet of snow. Made its way into the northeast. For the northeast, this is your over toward buffalo. Youre going to end up with that foot, foot and a half, maybe even more than that and theres going to be more to come. Thats the snow thats already on the ground. If you take a look at the radar picture right now, its still spinning around out there. I think today is going to be a result of lakeeffect snow because of what happens this time of year you get that cold air coming in from canada. Travels over the lake. Water is warmer than the land. That air then rises and condenses and it just snows a snows and snows on far side of the lake. There will be more to come. As you get to thanksgiving, anywhere from albany north in the northeast could be dealing with snow showers on thanksgiving. The trouble with the travel day will be more like midwest and Northern Midwest because travel day wednesday could be snow flying in that area. Charlie, over to you.

Chip reid is following the trump transition to the white house. Chip, good morning. Reporter good morning. President elect donald trump kept opening the clubhouse door at his golf course as prospects came calling. So far the trump cabinet is stocked with loyalists but then former new york city mayor Rudy Giuliani is believed to be the top contender for secretary of state and another possible candidate is mitt romney. The former foes had a cordial meeting on saturday. Thorough and indepth discussion in the time we had. Mike pence gave credence to the idea of the businessman becoming the nations top diplomat. Governor romney is under active and serious consideration to serve as secretary of state of the United States. He is the real general James Mad Dog Mattis is leading candidate for defense secretary. Trump in a tweet called the retired marine corps general a true generals general. Other leading cabinet candidates include billionaire investor wilbur ross for secretary of congressman and Steve Minuchin for secretary of the treasury.

Mr. Trumps Transition Team insists the president elect will separate his business dealings from the government. Mr. Trump reportedly met with three Business Partners from india last week the same time he was planning his cabinet. Mike pence played down the concerns on sundays face the nation. Should employees of the trump businesses be involved at all in the peoples business, in government business, i think during this transition, its very helpful. How about during the presidency. For the president elect to well, i think during the presidency, there will be the proper separation. What i can assure you and all of your viewers is that all of the laws pertaining to his business dealings as president will be strictly adhered to and he set unprecedented but unlikely he is breaking any laws. The 1978 ethics and government acts places limits on senior personnel but much of it does not apply to the president or Vice President and bans members from congress using their official positions for personal gain. Vice president elect mike pence responded to a controversial message delivered by one of the cast of hamilton. The cast represents americans worried about a trump administration. I wasnt offended by what was said. Ill leave to others whether it was the appropriate venue to say it, but i want to assure people who were disappointed in the election results, people are feeling anxious about this time in the life of our nation, that president elect donald trump meant exactly what he said on election night, that he is going to be the president of all the cheers from the crowd. President elect trump called his treatment harassment. He said the cast should apologize. In our next half hour, hamilton star Brandon Victor dixon who delivered those remarks will do his First Television interview with us right here in studio 57 to discuss the reaction and criticism surrounding his curtain call speech. John heilemann is managing of Bloomberg Politics and cohost of the circus on showtime, a here we go. Here we go. Thanksgiving is this week. Yes. A lot to be thankful about. That is right. What do you think of the transition so far . Well, i think its obviously, they have some stumbled and more chaotic and everybody i observed is this is a president elect and a team that did not expect to be president elect and having to do what they are doing at the level of trying to staff up this government, 4,000 jobs to fill somewhat of a herky jerky way and not why . Obama didnt announce hi iany of his appointments until december 1st. This is a transparent process. He is parading all of the people in front of the cameras says here is who im looking at. Im talking about the fact is that on the levels of appointments at the cabinet levels, he is not behind at all and what i was going to say a second ago. But i think the reality is for a lot of the agencies that were still waiting for the letters that allowed to be actually proceed with the transition, they of those letters of the major government agencies. They are behind in terms of the broad scale thing, filling 4,000 jobs. They are not behind in terms of the appointments to the cabinet. Also Transition Teams . In the middle, yes, showing a little bit of chaos along the way. But lets talk about the picks so far. We just heard our Vice President elect say that donald trump will represent all of the people of the country. But when you look at the picks so far, there are some troubling signs some say about lack of diversity. Should people be concerned or is that . Its, obviously, early in the sense there is still a lot of jobs to fill. I think its you were a nonwhite american, many nonwhite americans have concerns about this administration from the getgo in terms of the way the campaign was prosecuted and so on and looking at at the current array of choices it is a very monochromatic group and not just that but a hard line group ideologically and steph sessions and steve bannon and general flynn have made comments that is so i think it would be a smart thing for the trump team to move to get some diversity in order to kind of reassure the many millions of americans are worried some names than others . Yes, right. Lets talk about the job of secretary of state. Is romney, in your judgment, from your sources, a serious contender as mike pence said . Yes. What does he bring to the table . How would he then turn to a man who supported him as you but i believe romney is better . I think donald trump has had some hard conversations with people in the past and i think he could probably have that one. Other jobs are out there but the problem is Rudy Giuliani made it clear the only job he wants is secretary of state. That will be a difficult conversatio but i think romney may be the frontrunner. What mitt romney said about him during the campaign how will they reconcile that . We are seeing a lot of republicans who said nasty things about donald trump get on board his train. President obamas final foreign trip of his administration is over. He returned overnight from peru. He predicted rising trade tensions under the next administration but he told other World Leaders that president elect trump will have to compromise. What i can guarantee you is that reality will force him to adjust how he approaches many of these issues. The president also spoke on with russian president vladimir putin. President obama said they talked about ukraine and syria and called the conversation candid and serious. A bomb in afghanistan. Shiite moss were targeted in a mosque in kabul. Dozens others were hurt in the attack. The latest in a series of bombings targeting the countrys shiite minority.
