after all this snow today, last few months have been mild and bleak. spring is just six days away, and this has been a wallop. here in albany, it's near-whiteout conditions all day. we have seen drivers stuck? nsnow across the city. if you are sitting somewhere dry right now, be this is a big deal, because nearly 50 million people are affected from washington, d.c. to, maine. >> unreal. totally unreal. >> reporter: the late-season storm pelted northeast and mid-atlantic with a stream of snow, sleet, and ice, forcing businesses and schools from philadelphia to boston to close. in new york state, tractor trailers were banned from several major highways. in eastern new york, the snow is so bad, this salt spreader landed sideways. parts of pennsylvania were buried under two feet of snow, but that didn't stop state troopers and the national guard from giving a 23-month-old child in need of a heart t

escort to the hospital. mother nature showed some mercy, though, on new york city. normally, traffic-jammed streets were quiet with some brave new w yorkers battling a mixture of rain and sleet. in albany, new york, it was nearly 60 degrees last week. >> well, you see those flags there? >> reporter: this afternoon, raymond o'keefe with the national weather service measured more than 12 inches of snow. so it's not an epic storm but it's a good storm after a wild and zany winter. >> warm, 70 degrees last month and now we're look at 1.5 to two feecht snow here today in mid-march. >> reporter: i'm don dahler at the bosto boston harbor. ♪ that piled up over a fit footin some areas has turned to rain and sleet raising concerns about an icy commute in the morning with those roads are frozen overnight. earlier today, this was a blizzard by any kev of definition of that word. gusts of up to 70 miles per hour blew the s

now behind this storm, look at the lows by tomorrow morning-- teens and 20s, and all those areas where everything started to grow and bloom. so, anthony, this will be a big issue. we might see a lot of crop loss. we might even see a lot of cherry blossom damage in the nation's capital because of this cold. >> mason: eric fisher, thanks, eric. in, with republican leaders are trial trooeg to salvage their health insurance plan after the nonpartisan congressional budget office projected it would leave more americans uninsured than before obamacare was enact. here's congressional correspondent nancy cordes. >> the c.b.o. report raises some serious concerns. >> reporter: g.o.p. opposition to the g.o.p. plan mounted today after congressional number crunchers projected that the party's obamacare replacement bill would add 24 million people to the ranks of the uninsured. >> obviously, in a state like mine that had medicaid expansion, we have deep concerns. >> reporter: republican leaders were reluctant to call it a

you're saying the part of the c.bosmed analysis you like are accurate and you parts you don't like are flawed. >> um... that's not what i was saying. i pointed out the part that i i think is an accurate reflection of the tax reduction. it's pretty hard to predict coverage when the government stops telling you, you have to buy smug don't want. >> reporter: one of the bill's authors says that he and other g.o.p. leaders are considering some changes to the bill's tax credit system. but other republicans aren't waiting around to find out who they come up with, anthony. in fact, just this evening, a florida congresswoman became the latest lawmaker to say she's voting no. >> mason: nancy cordes, thanks, nancy. the f.b.i. is investigating whether the trump campaign had improper contacts with russians who wanted to meddle in the presidential election. earlier this month, roger stone, a friend and former adviser to

"please retreat how the election can be rigged against donald trump." guccifer replied, done." and later on the same day, "please tell me if i can help you anyhow." earlier this year, u.s. intelligence concluded that guccifer sites were a front for russian military intelligence. in a way, you're encouraging them to release more information. >> yeah, that's called networking. remember, i have no idea this gentleman is allegedly a russian. >> reporter: on sunday, arizona senator john mccain called for stone to testify in upcoming hearings. anthony, stone defiantly told us that his response to that is "game on." >> mason: jeff, thanks. the
