bringing that snow already across parts of the great lakes and ahead of it where temperatures are still too warm for snow. years of rain are stretching for vermont into western portions of massachusetts, connecticut and new york city and philadelphia area. so it's going to remain slightly unsettled the rest of tonight and as the system pulls into parts of eastern canada and further off to the west and take a look at snow coming down, lake effect snow across western parts of michigan, expecting a foot or more of snow and there are a number of winter storm advisories across parts of the great lakes and even as far southeast as west virginia, and also western parts of north carolina and we could be looking at a few inches of snow, but the worst is where we have our blizzard warning in effect across the u.p. of michigan and talking wind gusts up to 40, 50 miles per hour and heavy snow and very low visibility, so the worst of it should be tonight, overnight and into monday evening and this is going to be a prolonged period of heavy snow for those of you headed back to work tomorrow.

is middle east expert jeremiah o'keefe. how significant are these latest two developments? >> very significant. if you read what the iranians themselves are saying in the media, they're bragging about the fact that they've been able to prolong negotiations, the entering into negotiations with the united states and the west. and this is simply just another strategy of mind games with us saying that they want to come to the table and then firing missiles and then announcing missile rods or nuclear rods being produced. this is -- you have to remember, these are the folks that invented chess and they ridicule the united states and say we're accustomed to playing checkers, that they're far superior in their thinking and strategy than ourselves. >> that's well and good. we have made some moves. they now have some missile defense that's going their direction. f-16's, more are going to saudi arabia and we've brought in our aircraft carrier back to the persian gulf. is that good chess playing? >> that's good chess playing.

ally, sad, in syria and sth thinking, oh, my word. we know that iran have been involved with a covert war with the west for many years now. all those iranian scientists have been assassinated on iranian soil. those computer viruses that have been happening at iranian nuclear facilities and so forth. so it's incredibly tricky to know exactly what is going on, but we do need to be very concerned, obviously, about the region. >> now, tim, doesn't this play, in some ways, into a republican argument? because they argue that we need to be kind of full-bore ahead on energy development here at home. issues like the keystone pipeline, where it's not just jobs at stake, but also access to oil from friendly allies, as opposed to this unstable region. this, in some ways, gives more fodder to the gop case, doesn't it? >> well, on the energy front, i think you're exactly right. but on the foreign policy front, it's highlighting divisions. because rick santorum is easily the most hawkish republican when it comes to iran. and one of the lines that ron paul and his son rand paul around iowa are using today is

presumption among us in the west that the arab spring means authoritarian regimes transitioning to something else. there's an enormous amount of economic pressure on brittle democratic regimes as well. particularly about the european periphery, greece, hungary. those are places we could seed a lot more social discontent, populism that moves them in an authoritarian direction. they shouldn't lose sight and presume arab spring is just about countries we don't like. >> that brings us to europe. easy question. will the euro survive in its current form with all its members in 2012? >> i think there's probably now about a slightly just about even chance that it will survive but very uncomfortably large possibility that it won't. i say "uncomfortable" because the precipice that that represents for europe is a very scary one. >> i would probably give it a little better odds than that, more in the 60% to 70% range. i think it's striking all the people have been predicting it

supreme leader, the longest serving leader in the middle east now, very old. if you were to die, would you have a new supreme leader or would that call into question the whole system. >> that would be a mess, in my opinion. do you. you have rural constituencies versus clerical constituencies. i'm not going to call that one. >> iran, anything? >> what's been painted is a benign scenario. the worst is avoided, the real showdown. if ahmadinejad were to go one way or another, that would obviously be a good thing as far as the west is concerned. my theory is it might not turn out quite as benign as that. at the very least i think and hope you're right that israel won't strike but things could go wrong. at the very least a ratcheting up. it is after all a very, very serious existential concern for israel. i think you could see some nasty moments in the coming year with
