Monticello starting off at 15. Vernon and newburgh 20. Central park started at 26 degrees. Ramsey, new jersey, started off at 25. Tomorrow morning very similar. Look, maybe a couple of degrees warmer. You wont tell the difference. Basically, 32 degrees or colder for everybody all around our area. Afternoon high is 49. So youre a little bit warmer and todays high was 42 degrees. Filtere sun and rising temperatures. After sunset, temperatures go up. Bodes well for your temperature on thursday. But stick around, we have to talk about that because there could be some issues weather wise on thursday. Right now, no issues overhead. My colleague elise finch is in the mobile weather lab at Columbus Circle. Are people okay with the sunshine, hate the cold . Reporter a little bit of both. We are here weather mobile weather lab where the instruments on top of the vehicle are recording a temperature at least right where we are in this spot, which is a little on the warm side because were in the sun here. If you can see the screen and im not sure it shows, we are at 45 degrees at least in this particular spot. Thats still a far cry from the upper 50s which should be the high for this day of the year. People we spoke to were unhappy about the cold snap. The look of todays weather was deceiving. In spite of the blue skies and bright sunshine, it never got warm. Its cold. [ laughter ] way too cold for april. Absolutely. This is ridiculous its supposed to be spring. You know, the baseball teams are playing ball. Its supposed to be 60 degrees, not 28 and windy when i woke up this morning. Reporter many people describe the combination of unseasonably low temperatures and gusty winds as painful. Like needles on your skin. Without the wind it would be beautiful. I mean, i dont mind the cold. It drops the temperature a lot. Reporter and blows things around including these heavy umbrellas in bryant park. Still, hundreds braved the cold and wind as they waited to get into a job fair on west 57th street. Sue tucker had on her heaviest winter gear but could still feel the bite. It feels fine other than the wind chill across my face. Reporter this fellow job seeker didnt think he would be waiting outside so wore his best suit and nothing else. I thought, you know, like you said i would be going inside and thats it. But it didnt work out that way. [ laughter ] so im freezing. Reporter this couple visiting from miami says they were unprepared for this frigid weather. They stopped to buy additional winter gear and told us they are changing plan. We wanted to walk on the high line and we wanted to do a few things like that but i think we probably wont. Reporter harlem resident Tracy Warfield probably speaks for a lot of people when she says she can only hope this bitter blast is shortlived. Im hoping its just a real quick goodbye to winter and a gradual warmup starts tomorrow. But as lonnie said, the warmest day of the week will likely also be a rainy day. We are live in Columbus Circle with the mobile weather lab, elise finch, cbs 2 news. All right. Lets get to opening day at Yankee Stadium now. It was delayed a day due to the weather but the team and cold. We have Team Coverage for you. Steve overmyer with the fans, but we begin with Otis Livingston inside the house that i think jeter built. Otis. Reporter yeah, guys. Opening day delayed by a day. But that didnt make it any less special for the yankees and their fans as they braved the frigid temperatures to take on the houston astros, who by the way ended the yankees season last year in the wild card game. Everyone here out at Yankee Stadium bundled up for football instead of baseball type weather but the cold temperatures didnt affect hideki matsui. Vp and the pitcher. And castro comes to his first at bat with the bombers. The tworun double after keikel, the yankees couldnt score a run off the astros ace in last years wild card game but he gave them a 20 lead in the second inning. So much for the bullpen. Dellin betances came in. Astros 52 by the time he left. Betances with the bad throw to first. Joe girardi thought the runner was outside the baseline which affected the throw. They played the rest of the game under protest. Astros won 53 the final. What does joe girardi look to accomplish with the protest . If they dont change it, it should bring more clarity to the rule. I dont want to go in and tell my pitchers just throw and hit him in the back. I dont want to do that. You get somebody hurt. To me its something that really needs to be addressed. Reporter the yankees may have lost their home opener 5 3 to the astros but it was still quite an experience for their fans. For that side of the story lets go outside Yankee Stadium to our steve overmyer. Steve. Reporter yeah. Otis, a great time today hanging out with some of the fans and these fans, listen, nothing compares to opening day for these fans. For some of them, its about reacquainting themselves with Yankee Stadium and creating new memories at their favorite baseball cathedral. For younger fans, there are other benefits.

Well, you came well prepared . Yes, im ready for opening day t feels more like a football game. Reporter were you second guessing it when you woke up no, we are coming to the yankees game. We are just wrapping her up like a little burrito. Reporter despite the near freezing temperature, Yankee Stadium was home to fans of all ages. Its the opening game of the season. Reporter you love baseball more than you love staying warm . Its better than school. Reporter ah yes. Right alongside the pageantry of the game is the cherished tradition of skipping school. I wanted to see the first game. Reporter yeah . And i got to miss school. One of the great things we do as father and son. Every year this time of year john has a sore throat. Reporter this group of friends has been coming to opening day together since the eighth great. Back then i bet you were skipping school. No, no, we would never do that. Reporter you guys are still so afraid ah reporter you wont even admit you skipped school in 1960 we did it, we did it opening day should be a legal holiday, i think so. Reporter the fact that it was a loss didnt ruin your day . You get a win, its on top of that. Reporter the good feelings were not wiped out with the loss . No, still a good time. Yankees fans had a great time cheering the team and having a good time and under the sun it was nice and warm. Reporter there is no Expiration Date for memories like today.

All three are facing a number of criminal charges including larceny and assault. Governor christie is adding 10 million to this years budget for lead clean up efforts in new jersey. The governor making the announcement this afternoon. Lawmakers have been pushing for more funds. Last month elevated levels of lead were detected in Drinking Water in half of newarks Public Schools but the concern in new jersey is the outdated leadbased paint in old housing and not the water source. Were working hard and making sure that lead poisoning while its a concern does never become an epidemic in new jersey. The governor says this year the state has already spent 7 million on lead inspections and an additional 5. 4 million on lead testing. Caught up in air travel nightmares from delays to cancellations, even lost luggage. You may want to complain but just know that if you do, it may not get to anyone. And travelers say that its only leading now to even more airline aggravation. Up in the air our Flight Attendant has gone nuts. Reporter and on the ground. Do you care about your passengers . Reporter flying can leave passengers at the end of their ropes. [ screaming and crying ] speak to someone reporter so you want to complain . Good luck put the department of transportations complaint information online. But just try to find it. It is extremely difficult. Some would say impossible. Reporter this congresswoman janice hahn had her staffers comb airlines websites searching for the department of transportation information. They found it nearly impossible to locate. They probably dont want these complaints. They dont want to see these complaints. And this is their way of doing it. Reporter to get the information on american airlines, for instance, you go to travel information, then click special assistance, and then go to something called the air carrier access act, deltas is also hidden in the air carrier access act section for travelers with disabilities. And its a tricky search or Frontier Airlines with the information in its boarding and disembarking section. A spokesman admitted a customer would have to do his i dont see anything. Reporter we asked airfare watchdog to give it a go and after trying to find the department of transportation complaint information on six airline websites, he came up empty. If you put something on the website thats so deeply buried that nobody can find it really youre just playing a game. Reporter hahn says complaints to department of transportation are important. The agency can levy fines and issue new regulations based on patterns of complaints. She is sponsoring a bill to make the airlines prominently post the information. We dont want airlines to get away with that behavior. Reporter airlines are also supposed to have their own complaint information on their website but those complaints do not go to the department of transportation so another and probably better option is to just file a complaint on the department of transportations own website. Speaking of complaining, we have been hearing it, lonnie has been hearing it a little more than we have. Its cold. Its april. Whats going on . You have to look on the bright side. We have all the sunshine out too happy with the temperatures. But look at this picture. This is just gorgeous. This is what im talking about, mo. I can see for miles and miles and just a beautiful blue sky out there. Oh, who wrote that what band sang that song, you know . My gosh. The who. Miles and miles. Dont worry. I can see for miles and miles yeah. Sunshine right now, 41 degrees. You take a look at the High Temperature not much more than that 41. We were at 42 at 3 p. M. But typical is 57. So youre way off the mark. Let me show you whats going on here. A 42degree reading is typical for february 15th. Way through april. Well, the vortex satellite and radar, gorgeous in our area right now as far as the sky. Its all because of this big old High Pressure system right over the ohio valley. Theres a clockwise rotation around the high so on one side its the cold side of the high where its bringing in the north wind. On the other side its the mild side of the High Pressure we are going to get that mild air. It will be getting here by the time we get to, say, thursday but it will come with some wet weather. Tomorrow morning less wind sunny start 29 degrees. High temperature maybe a little bit warmer than you were today, 49 but filtered sunshine as we watch that wet weather getting closer. Ill tell you when it gets here later. Maurice and kristine, lets go back to you guys. Okay, lonnie. Baby boomer, thank you. [ laughter ] gee whiz. In just a moment, here at 5 00, it is a plan so controversial, the vote may get delayed. Still ahead why this plan to ban plastic bags in parts of long islands has both sides crying foul.
