Weve got ourselves a classic winter setup across the u. S. Wind chills in the teens all the way down into texas. Winter weather blankets the u. S. Snow continues to crank, a couple more feet are possible. Heavy snow and freezing temperatures stretch from the sierras to the great lakes to the northeast. We cant do nothing about it so you might as well deal with it, i guess. The president elect made another stop on his victory tour this time in iowa. No task is too great. No dream too large. No goal beyond our reach. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton making an appearance in d. C. After a few weeks of taking selfies in the woods i thought it would be a good idea to come out. Do you think you could have done a better job . They would have probably eaten me alive. Who is the best pilot you ever knew . Me. John glenn space pioneer, patriots and politician has passed away. He was the First American to orbit the earth. Oh, that view is tremendous. With a huge majority south koreas parliament voted to i impeach park geunhye. All that hill is off to the races and he is going to go all the way. That was monster win. Starbucks is introducing a pokemon go frappuccino. It has the taste of something you lost interest in around september. And all that matters. Donald trump this weekend will give his first sunday morning news interview since the election. And its a big sacrifice for him because sunday morning is usually when he tweets about saturday night live. On cbs this morning. Mr. Trump picking former worlds wrestling entertainment ceo Linda Mcmahon to lead the Small Business administration. Which is why our economys new catch phrase is going to be lets get ready to crumble. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. As you wake up in the west back to back storms are slamming much of the country with heavy snow, wind and freezing rain. Parts of the Pacific Northwest are under Winter Weather warnings. Snow and ice hit portland and seattle last night. The first big snow event of the season will bring heavy snowfall to the mountains through tomorrow. David beg that you had is outside portland on the snowy slopes of mt. Hood. Good morning. Good morning. I hope youre enjoying that studio warmth. We are on mt. Hood, its 25 degrees and the snow is going sideways this morning. But, man, its pretty including these frozen over trees. So at the lower elevations after you get down from the cascades going toward the portland area flights have been canceled in and out of the portland airport, schools closed early, so did county government offices letting people get home. The roads have been treacherous, driving is dangerous, one person has already been killed in a crash that happened over the last 24 hours. In the seattle area the National Weather service tweeted a photo of what was snow on their roof. Seattle hadnt had measurable snow in the last two years, the last time was february of 2014 and it was only about three inches. Again, this is the first big event of the Winter Service here in the Pacific Northwest and, charlie, i tell you what, where its dangerous its also beautiful and inconvenient. Guss what happened when we went to our crew car this morning, the back door was frozen. I have tips for you. If you use a key to get in your door lock and its frozen dip the key in vaseline or alcohol, both are known to work well. All right. Thank you. Vaseline and alcohol together. Good advice. Thats a tip we havent heard before. Thats true. Youre welcome from cbs this morning. Lakeeffect snow in the east triggered serious accidents including this massive Chain Reaction crash near erie, pennsylvania. At least 15 people were taken to hospitals. Interstate 90 was shut down for hours. Ali ingersoll of wivb is outside of buffalo, new york. Ali, good morning. Good morning. Its been snowing all throughout the night into the morning here. This lake effect has dropped about a foot of snow, you can see it on the sidewalk and the shrubs here, its causing issues for roads all over from here to the middle of the country. Dangerous and deadly storms blasted the east coast and midwest thursday. Crews fought against fast falling snow but icy roadways led to dangerous conditions. Vehicle accident i 90 westbound 10 to 15 vehicles involved. In erie, pennsylvania, part of interstate 90 looked more like an abandoned junkyard. One vehicle through the median head on into a semi. Heavy snowfall triggered a crash involving at least 13 vehicles, 15 people were reportedly hurt. Further down i 90 near the pennsylvania border a 75car pile up shut down the interstate. It remained closed for hours in both directions. The tires have fallen off of the trailer. This man was stranded for nearly an hour. Pretty aggravated about it, you know, im trying to get home, its cold in this weather. In michigan a semitractor jackknifed across i 96 shutting down most of the highway, a massive 40 car pile up killed three people and injured 11 more. As the ground is getting to that temperature its starting to ice over, compounded with the quick snow squall or whiteout and i think were all contributing factors. The problem now is for roads like this one next to he into, theyre starting to ice over causing cars to skid. While this storm is supposed to end soon, people are bracing for another one early next week. Ali, thanks. Chief weather castor lonnie quinn of wcbs is tracking the storm. Good morning. These are big players out there. Were going to talk about the snow and cold air. I want to start off with the snow. Look, theres going to be big totals around the great lakes with the lakeeffect snow but the real big totals will be in the Pacific Northwest. Whats going on . You have not this low pressure system sitting offshore and it is spinning and spinning and spinning and what its doing, its dragging in moisture. That moisture tail depose all the way out to hawaii. So there will be huge totals in the mountains. Take a look at what were talking about. Wasatch you may see that 1 to 3 foot range but the cascades 2, 4 feet of snow, possibly 5 feet of snow and it looks like it wants to stick around as well because its all about the temperatures. Look at this, i know weve been talking a lot about bismarck, north dakota, again, you are the icebox in the country, 13 below at 2 00 in the afternoon it what it feels like when you factor in the winds could feel as cold as 25 below zero at that hour. Over the next 8 to 14 days you are looking at the temperature staying below average in the Northern Plains extending all the way to new england and for places like bismarck, you know, today on the thermometer it gets up to maybe 2 below zero, tomorrow i think they will hit 1. 1 degree for all my friends there in bismarck. Over to you, norah. President elect trump goes back to campaigning today in louisiana. Where our Runoff Election for an open senate seat is tomorrow. He will also go to michigan after stopping in columbus, ohio and des moines eye yesterday. His Approval Rating road rose to 41 during the transition, thats 10 points below george w. Bush in 2001 and more than 30 points less than president obama in 2008. Major garrett is covering the trump transition. Good morning. Good morning. The president elect traveled to iowa last night thats a Battle Ground state he won handily. While there vowed to stop extremism, thanked women for his vote and praised himself for cabinet choices he said will make the country rich again. Yet one more tragic reminder that immigration security is now national security. No more games, folks. No more games. At his third thank you rally in iowa president elect donald trump said the ohio state knife attack by a somali born reffy is another example of americas broken immigration system and he has a plan to fix it. Theyre going to come in through a process, come in legally and were going to see that these people have true capability to love us. To love us not to hate us. Making a point to praise female voters to played a substantial role in his victory mr. Trump offered more than just gratitude. Im asking congress to pass legislation to make safe and affordable child care accessible to all while fighting to get higher pay for women, women in the workforce. Thats what has to happen. The president elect has drawn criticism for stocking his administration with millionaires and billionaires, seven so far and counting. He called it part of the plan. Because i want people to make a fortune because now theyre negotiating with you. Fast Food Restaurant ceo Andrew Puzder as labor secretary. Puzder is ceo of Cke Restaurants the Parent Company of carls jr. And hardees. Puzder opposes raises the minimum wage, arguing it cuts jobs by unnecessarily increasing labor costs. He wrote a book entitled job creation how it really works and why government doesnt understand it. People who would rely on Big Government instead of free markets simply do not understand how jobs and kraers are careers are created. The president elect will carry another title into the oval office, executive producer of the show he once hosted, the celeb brit apprentice. The executive producer credit does not mean americas chief executive to be will have an active role in the reality tv show. It does mean mr. Trump will receive royalties for an idea he helped conceive and a show he holds a stake in. This is perfectly normal in show base and president s have made outside income before, usually from book royalties, president obama reported 5. 1 million in book sales his first year in office. Charlie, that amount fell to 56,000 last year. Thanks, major. Cbs news political director and face the nation moderator John Dickerson is with us. Good morning, charlie. Lets talk about tweeting. Lets talk about tweeting. A method of criticizing the wealth of his cabinet and how trump responds. Well, i think he i mean, Donald Trumps argument is these people have been successful in private enterprise and they will be really successful in government. The request he is a couple things. One, what does success mean to donald trump, if your job is to bring in and dismantle a department thats a different level of success than we would have seen in the past. The second thing is do they have a Public Service instinct. Thats different than in private enterprise. You care about the public good youre not just caring about the bottom line. The other thing is what truman said about eisenhower which is when you come in and you are a general and you are used to issuing orders sometimes the bureaucracy says just doesnt listen. So if youre used to being in private enterprise where people do exactly what you say whats it going to be like when you come into government. President obama and his administration and his labor secretary put in a lot of what they call worker protections. If you install someone like who hes nominating for the labor secretary what kinds of things on a practical effect might a Worker Experience . Well, mr. Puzder there are two things, one that work enforcement of worker protections, enforcement of all the existing regulations that are there, then there would be removing what they would see as burdensome on business. So everything from paperwork to i mean, a lot of it is osha, a lot is Workplace Safety stuff. The other thing is being on the lookout for new things. Im arguing now from sort of the obama case. As a labor secretary would be on the lookout for new and possible abuses of two,ers that if the interests are not aligned the way they would be in the Obama Administration you wouldnt have that kind of always searching the landscape for ways to protect workers. Now what they would say on the trump side is this he would be on the lookout for ways to make it easier for businesses to work in an unfettered way which creates greater profits that then go back to the workers. Hes scheduled to have his first News Conference next week where hes going to play out his plans, what hes going to do with his company. Whats at stake for him at this event next week. I guess is there anything at stake for him next week . Were kind of learning still what it means for things to be at stake for donald trump. In other words, in the old days we would have said, well, he wants to show that hes president ial, he wants to show that he can get through a press conference, but donald trump is redesigning this job and so he will do you could imagine what he has tried to do all throughout the campaign which was take an old form, a press conference and use it in his own way. Remember when he told his press kmpss essentially into pr events for his hotel. You can imagine he will try to capture this do we expect to see the president of the United States my original question simply to be tweeting throughout his presidency and making comments about everything that comes to under the sun. No followup to a tweet. There are people advising donald trump and Newt Gingrich has said it out loud stop doing this. The president ial voice is one that you can squander. It is not it is not a good that just is constantly renewing and you need to do this judiciously. We saw during the campaign there were times that he stopped this tweeting, but he is a he has successfully learned how to create chaos and operate within it. One of the ways i creates chaos is through his tweets. Its a very useful way for him to get his message out but also change the landscape. Thanks, john. Thank you. On sunday on face the nation john interviews the president elects Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway plus senators john mccain and bernie sanders. Thats sunday here on cbs. Another good show for John Dickerson. Thats what he does. A South Carolina courtroom will see dylann roofs videotaped confession to the Charleston Court shootings. Shootings. Yesterdays testimony included crime scene photos and a timeline of this attack. Three cameras mounted a above the doorway show parishioners arriving. Dylann roof arrives 8 17 after about an hour inside the video shows him leaving with a gun in his right hand. Roof told investigators he was surprised that police were not there waiting for him. More Video Evidence shows that roofs capture the next morning in north carolina. Roofs attorney does expect a guilty verdict but he says he should not get the death penalty. A Second Police officer was died after a shooting in georgia. Jodi smith was shot wednesday while responded to a domestic disturbance call. Nick lar smarr was also shot he died at the scene. The two were lifelong friends who attended the Police Academy together. They were both planning weddings for next year. The fbi joined more than 20 Law Enforcement agencies in the manhunt for miguel lembrick. He was found dead yesterday in a home where he was hiding. Police salem brick shot himself as a s. W. A. T. Team prepared to move in. The head of nasa says john glenn led a life of greatness, the First American to orbit the earth died yesterday. Glenn fought in two wars and served four terms in the United States senate. President obama said in tribute, john always had the right stuff. Inspiring generations of scientists, engineers and astronauts. President elect trump called glenn a Great American hero and fellow astronaut buzz aldrin said he was saddened that we lost another space pioneer and world icon. Godspeed, john glen. During his 95 years on earth john glenn blazed many trials. He was not the first man to reach space, but glenns three orbits in 1962 excited americans like none before. I spoke to glenn about that pioneering flight last year. Youre going almost 18,000 miles an hour, thats about almost 5 miles a second, its hard to believe that we go that fast. Glenns space shift nearly burned up during reentry. When he returned safely a ticker tape parade was thrown in his honor in new yorks canyon of heroes. Later president john f. Kennedy secretly ordered glenn grounded, deeming his life too important to risk. It had a lot of attention, would this be a bad symbol for the country or would it be whatever. I never did know, but i knew that i didnt want to just hang around forever waiting. Lift off of discovery with a crew of six astronaut heroes and one american legend. Glenn eventually returned to orbit in 1998. This time as the oldest man in space. At age 77. For a man in his 70s to be able to stand the g forces on launch, its impressive. It was while trainin do greao serve his country. I think i will use him as career. President obama awarded him the president ial medical of freedom in 2012. A decorated marine corps pilot, glenn flew 149 combat missions during world war ii and the korean war where his wing man was hall of fame baseball player ted williams. Glenns distinguished Senate Career spanned 24 years, but his biggest regret he said was an unsuccessful bid for president in 1984. You think that your ideas and all these Different Things on the economy and the military and our leadership in World Affairs and all that your ideas in your own head are the things that should direct the future of this country. Thats pretty heady stuff. Glenn is survived by his wife of 73 years annie, their two children and two grandchildren. He will be buried at Arlington National cemetery. We send our best to annie, she was his lifetime partner and they were such a great couple. What a love story. What a legacy he left for us all.
