BLITZER: The death toll from the historic snowstorm in the Buffalo, New York, region grew today. A man was found dead in his car becoming the snow's 13th victim. Residents are facing a new weather threat. Flooding from the melting snow and heavy rains that are moving in this weekend. Alexandra Field is joining us live from Buffalo. Alexandra, how concerned are officials there where you are about the potential for major flooding?</s>ALEXANDRA FIELD, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Wolf, to put it simply, the governor came out and said that the city could see the worse flooding that they've seen in a very long time. That's why they have acted rapidly to all of the snow that has fallen. These are 1600 dump trucks. That's right. 1600 of them carting snow out of south Buffalo, one of the hardest hit areas. So far they have piled up this mountain of snow. On it, more than 32,000 tons of snow that has been trucked out of this city. It is so important to get that snow up and out as quickly as possible because we've got rain in the forecast, because we have temperatures warming up once this snow starts to melt. That's when we could see some very serious problems. Officials warning that in the lowest lying areas of the city, you could see five to six feet the snow. A lot of people are already preparing. They are trying to get people to do as much shoveling as possible and get snow off their roof because when it starts to rain here, the snow gets very heavy and that's when we start to see these catastrophic problems with people's homes. That's what they are preparing for, the one-two punch here.</s>BLITZER: Let's hope for the best here for all of my friends in the Buffalo, New York, area, my hometown. Let's hope for the best, but even by Buffalo standards, this is really awful. Alexandra, thanks very much. Just ahead, a sign of things to come. What about the current showdowns between President Obama and the Republicans on Capitol Hill? What does it all mean for the next two years? Our political panel is standing by. They will weigh in.
