BLITZER: Over 12 million people here in the United States are under a blizzard warning as what's called a bomb cyclone, with hurricane force winds and blinding snow, ripping through parts of the northeast here in the U.S. Other normally warm parts of the country reporting record-shattering snowfalls. Charleston, South Carolina, measuring just over 5 inches. Many people, even in northern Florida, seeing snow on their lawns, some of them seeing it for the very first time. Take a look at these live pictures coming in from snowy Boston right now where winds are picking up speed, pummeling snow onto cars, driving through deserted streets. Those hurricane-force winds creating another headache for commuters as water from the already record-high Boston Harbor surges in. And over in Virginia Beach, another scene as snow bears down on the Oceanside City. The White House briefing, by the way, moments away from now. We'll get all of that coming up. Stay with us. We'll be right back.
