Nightly news begins at 6 30 right here on nbc10. Earlier this week nbc10 was in trenton for governor Chris Christies annual state of the state address. He talks about key accomplishments as well as future goals for the garden state but many say the speech was geared to an audience well beyond new jersey. I traveled the country over the last year up. May have heard about that. Traveled a little around the country in the last year. This anxiety was the most palpable emotion that i saw and felt. Joining us now is chuck todd, moderator of nbcs meet the press. Several questions for you. First n your opinion, was this address geared toward a National Audience . It was absolutely a national address. He was sticking up the place he begin. He didnt play that clip. Thats a clip where i plan on showing. None were exists in new jersey as far as i knew. But, look i actually thought his diagnosis of whats ailing the country as part of this sort of ive always said americas been going through this anxiety crisis of some sort for quite some time. I thought he was spot on in what hes identified. The question is i think what a lot of candidates have struggled is, how do tackle the issue and how to make people who feel sort of this anxiety, because that anxiety is coupled with distrust of politicians, whether its Chris Christie or president obama. As we know governor christie makes headlines all the time for being blunt and outspoken, no filter. Is that something that will help him if he decides to run for president or is it something strategists might tell him he needs to rein in . Look the minute you try to be somebody youre not or you try to change your personality, youre losing. It doesnt help. Mitt romney one of the reasons hes still he struggled is he was overcoached and he had way too many people be this no be this no be this. Look, it may hurt him. But the fact is he will be if hes always thinking about making sure he has the right tone and doesnt lose his temper or yell at somebody hell be timid and cautious all over the place. I actually think it would be bad for him as a candidate. My question for Chris Christie i dont know how he stands out that sort of established moderate ring of the Republican Party when you have mitt romney and jeb bush fighting for that voter. Chuck todd, moderator of meet the press. Thank you for your insight. We appreciate that. Watch meet the press this sunday morning at 10 30 right here on nbc10. Depending on where you live you may not have noticed. This is crazy, this statistic. 0 2014 was the warmest year on record. While parts of the u. S. Saw record cold many cities had warmest winters either. San francisco including alaska. Nasa scientist jim tucker says were seeing the effects Global Warming right before our eyes. The effects can be severe as well droughts fires, glaciers melting causing sea levels to rise. We have a hydrological cycle, which means we have more rainfall and snowfall. It can be distributed as larger storms with intervening periods of drought or no snowfall or no rain. We have warmer temperatures. Government Scientists Say they know the earth is warming and believe if Greenhouse Gas emission stopped today, it would continue to warm for some time. What they cant know though is whether the warming will accelerate and what will happen if it does. Look at that statistic, though. All i can think about in this area last year, all the snow we got. Hottest year what . I know. We didnt think about the heat. It was all about how we were inundated with snow. We would take some of sha that snow right now. Sheen yeah are you listening . Im pretty sure i could use some of that warmth, too. No question at all. I think in anyones mind especially as we go through tonight. It is going to get colder. Before we get to tonights cold we have a few snow showers around the area. Not for everybody but a few blowing in from the great lakes, so thats the lakeeffect snow making its way in from our windy conditions today. For tomorrow morning, some areas could be in Single Digits. Thats going to be the coldest in the next seven days. Then we go into sunday. Well see big changes taking place. We have rain moving in sunday for a good portion of the day. Live look out at center city we have clouds around. It is windy, some snow showers in the vicinity of philadelphia. Right now, 40 degrees in philadelphia. Feels more like 31 degrees. Many areas with the gusty winds feel close to about 10 degrees colder. Heres a look at the radar. You see the snow showers. They started in the poconos, went into Lehigh Valley now in parts of montgomery bucks counties. Moving toward the i95 corridor. Theyre mostly on the lighter side. Some are breaking up and dying out at the moment. Were still tracking them moving towards the i95 area. Near trenton, lower bucks county. Closer to 295 is where we could see very light snow showers. Again, i dont think this will make it all the way to the shore. For now, were watching some flakes falling, just not sticking. Across the turnpikes in lower Montgomery County we could see light snowflakes falling. Across 95 the philadelphia area snowflakes falling there as well as across 476. This continues into parts of Chester County possibly. As we go through the overnight hours tonight, this will quickly come to an end and the temperatures will be dropping off very quickly. 32 in allentown. The rest of the area above freezing. Any snow falling around the i95 corridor will not be sticking. Were well abov
