KEILAR: The winter is not quite ready to leave the northeast. Right now, more than 70 million people are under a winter storm watch as another nor'easter with snow in Washington and up to Boston. There are thousands without power today. Schools are closed in New York, Philly, Washington. Let's check in with our CNN senior national correspondent, Alex Marquardt, in New York. Tell us about all this snow.</s>ALEX MARQUARDT, CNN SENIOR NATIONAL CORRESPODNENT: Yes, Brianna, how is this for a first day of spring? It looks very pretty. The forecast looks very serious. The snow has been coming down in New York City all morning. New York is supposed to get some of the worst snow in the area. Got about three to four inches right now. It's expected to grow throughout the course of the day. The snow is going to get worse throughout the course of the day, to around 12 to 15 inches here. The problem is it's not the light, fluffy snow we all enjoy. This is wet and heavy. When it weighs on the trees and branches, it can cause them to break and fall on power lines, creating added chaos in this situation. The governor of New York says this is going to be a severe storm, but one they are fully prepared for -- Brianna?</s>KEILAR: Let's hope. Alex, thanks for the beautiful scene in New York. Thank you so much for joining me. "INSIDE POLITICS" with John King starts right now.</s>JOHN KING, CNN HOST: Thank you, Brianna. And welcome to INSIDE POLITICS. I'm John King.
70 Million in Path of Nor'easter.
