HARLOW: Heavy winds and waves hammering New England once again. The extreme winter weather just won't quit. Life threatening temperatures are settling in over tens of millions of Americans along the eastern seaboard. After snow records are set in Boston, and as you can see, buildings are starting to collapse. Let's show you -- I think we have some of these images. Pretty stunning because of all the feet of snow piling on top of the buildings. We're barely halfway through February. It is already the snowiest month in Boston's recorded history. Joining me now on the phone, Boston strong Emily Rooney is hosting creator of the TV show "Meet the Press" on WGBH. You've got to be Boston strong to deal with this, Emily. How are you guys holding up?</s>EMILY ROONEY, WGBH (via telephone): We're dealing, Poppy, we're dealing, you know? It's -- it hasn't been all that dangerous. The cold here today is pretty wicked. It's 13 degrees now with a windchill of about minus four. But other than some flooding during the first storm, which was back, I think, on January 24th, there really hasn't been a severe danger to people.</s>HARLOW: Yes, but it's been stunning to see, because one of the big issues is, where does all this snow go? I know you said a lot of people in the media, TV, news are going to work because they have to, but is everyone else going to work or are they hunkering down?</s>ROONEY: No, no, they can't -- well, even, you know, the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston bombing suspect, six days they've had to cancel that trial. And they've had at least six or seven days of snow cancellations for, you know, all the public schools. A couple of days, state government was shut down. A couple of days, city hall was shut down. So it's affected -- even like the mall, with big department stores like Neiman's, has closed because they can't -- there's just no access to get into these places.
