More Snow and Bitter Cold to Northeast
COSTELLO: Parts of the south are facing a messy wintry mix. Louisville is getting a slick coating of snow and ice right now. Officials warning people to stay off the roads. Conditions like this are of course nothing new for the northeast. In Boston, roofs are collapsing under the record snow as the city hits its snowiest month ever. It's crazy there in Boston. Nick Valencia, though, is in Nashville. He's covering the southern freeze. Ryan Young is in Boston covering that kind of -- I don't even know what you'd call it in Boston. To me, it's like apocalyptic at this point. But, Nick, I want to start with you where it's a balmy 29 degrees in Nashville right now.</s>NICK VALENCIA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, and for this California boy it feels a lot colder, I'll tell you that, Carol. A lot of states in the southeast getting hammered by the severe weather. We'll start, as you mentioned, in Louisville, Kentucky, where there was deicing. So much snow there and heavy weather conditions but here the rain as well has been relentless. Freezing rain in Nashville, Tennessee, a city that you don't really get used to hearing about in the severe weather forecast. But a quarter inch of ice so far on the roads according to officials. And if you just pan down here, you could see what this freezing rain has started to accumulate. Just look at that. It's just hard as a rock, Carol. We're right here on Broadway which is sort of the main thoroughfare in Nashville and you see behind me the streets are relatively empty, though we have seen a handful of cars and just a little bit of traffic this morning. The crews have done their best to try to clear those roads and they spent all weekend salting and brining these streets preparing for the three to seven inches of snow that's predicted over the course of the next 24 hours. We haven't seen that snow just yet. Mostly sleet and freezing rain but as you mentioned, Carol, it is pretty cold. Not quite as cold as it is in Boston there for Ryan Young but people here are definitely feeling it -- Carol.</s>COSTELLO: Wait. Wait. I think I can hear people laughing from Boston right now.</s>VALENCIA: There's this audible gasp.</s>COSTELLO: You should stay off the roads. But poor, poor Boston. Let's head there right now and check in with Ryan. It's just unbelievable.</s>RYAN YOUNG, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Unbelievable is the right word. And 29 degrees, I will trade him easily any day of the week. The people here are really feeling the cold. And it's no joke. In fact I've talked to some of my friends who've been digging out for days. Look, they hit 58.5 inches so far in this area in terms of snowfall. The shovels like you see the one that's right in front of me, they're in heavy use right now. Now this digging out effort has had people all across this area involved in a massive operation of trying to make sure even emergency vehicles can get around. We actually saw some of the efforts to make sure those emergency vehicles don't get stuck. You really have to give the work crews in this area a lot of credit for trying to keep things moving in this city. Don't forget, though, roof collapses were also an issue. And in fact, there's been several of them overnight. Now we've covered this story and talked about the idea that they would have crews knocking out -- professional crews knocking some of the snow off the roofs here. In fact one mayor closed some schools to make sure all the kids were safe. The sun is coming out. It used to be negative 25. We now moved up to negative 14 windchill. If you look up here, you can see some melting but yes, negative 14 feels great. I have to say it's a warm front moving through. But you've got to think about the impact to a city like this. Over $30 million so far has been spent trying to clean this city up. And I can tell you, where do you put all this snow? Who knows? That's something that we're dealing with for quite some time.</s>COSTELLO: Yes. I don't think that snow is going to melt until when, August? I wouldn't be surprised. It's just crazy.</s>YOUNG: Maybe.</s>COSTELLO: Yes. Ryan Young, thanks to you.
