[Chetry:] Shot of Columbus Circle this morning. We have a rainy start to the day right now in New York. It's 41 degrees, a bit warmer than we've seen. A little bit later, it's going to be rainy again, going up to a high of 52. But we're dealing with some windy weather, as well some winds moving in, part of that system that we saw through the South now making its way up the East Coast today.
[Holmes:] All right. And an update now on what has been an ongoing cycle for Charlie Sheen, the star of "Two and a Half Men" on CBS. They have now canceled it after he went on another radio rant. This time, he called Alcoholics Anonymous a cult, said its members are a bunch of sissies. He also talked about the creator of "Two and a Half Men," called him a clown also made some remarks some might see them as anti-Semitic. He also, to let you know here, the production had been shut down earlier. They were on hiatus, but they had planned to possibly, at the end of this month, to start up again, but now, it's been shut down for the rest of the season. They did have, at least, four more episodes they were supposed to shoot following the announcement. Sheen released a statement to the TMZ, and he went off again going off on the creator of the show calling him a maggot who can't handle the truth. So, some unfortunate words, once again, from Charlie Sheen. Not really sure what's going on with him right now. There was a landing where a plane wasn't supposed to land on the street. Independence Street was the name of it. A pilot had to make an emergency landing. This was in Missouri. He has lost 80 percent of his power to the plane. He was about 4,000 feet up. He said he could not make it to an airport. He knew he couldn't. So, he had to land that sucker right there on the road. The pilot doing OK. The road was closed for a couple of hours. Something hit that plane out of that.
[Chetry:] It was raining tens and twenties in Kansas City. A bank robber lost some of the loot trying to get away. Authorities say that a dye pack went off as the suspect fled leaving piles of cash scattered all over the street in front of the bank. They did manage to get a description of the suspect in the get away car, but their best clue may be someone who is, of course, soaked in red dye.
[Holmes:] Parts of California getting hit with some snow right now. Nevada County, this is north of Sacramento. Winter storm warning in effect there. The snow is coming in and causing all kinds of problems as you would imagine right about now.
[Chetry:] So, they're dealing with that system in California right now, and we've got one in the south that's moving up the East Coast. Reynolds Wolf keeping track of all of it for us this morning. Hey, Reynolds.
[Reynolds Wolf, Ams Meteorologist:] Hey, guys. If you look at the thing on radar, it really is impressive. I mean, check it out. This thing extends all the way from the U.S.Canadian border clear down to the Gulf of Mexico, and everything is driving off towards the east, and this storm system is going to mean a great deal of different things to millions of people. As we zoom in, especially in parts of the northeast, we see some snowfall up towards the green mountains, also the white mountains of Vermont. By the time the day is over, they could have a foot of snow in that area. Back towards Buffalo to Cleveland, anywhere from three to seven inches of snowfall. Same story in Detroit. But in New York, it's going to be mainly a rain event early, but then, the wind is really going to intensify from New York to Philadelphia to Washington. We're talking wind gusts that could get up to 55 miles an hour. So, delays are all but a certainty. So, just be advised. Meanwhile, in parts of the southeast, what we're dealing with, just some rain. It really has lost quite a bit of intensity. The story system had a very rough history, especially back in Tennessee and the Kentucky and into portions of Missouri with ten tornado reports and, of course, widespread flooding. Now, we're seeing some of the strongest storms developing south of Atlanta and Montgomery at this hour as it gets close to the I-10 corridor. Again, we will see of it's beginning to weaken in the few spots. Valdosta, Augusta, Columbia, get ready, the rain is on the way. But out west, we're seeing a combination of rain, sleet, and snow, and there's also a chance that San Francisco could see its first measurable snowfall in over 30 years. So, we're going to keep an eye on that for you, too, but there's no doubt that snow is going to continue to pile up in portions of the Sierra Nevada. Big story, of course, we're seeing is that storm system out towards the east that's going to give you the headaches up and down the eastern sea board. A nice break, though, for you in parts of the Central Plains. Northern plains, however, a little bit of snowfall, but back in ski country, it is the snow season that will never end. More snow is back in some spots. We're foot of snow fall before the day is over. That's a quick snapshot on your forecast. We have so much more ahead. Let's pitch it back to you in New York.
[Chetry:] All right. Thanks, Reynolds.
[Wolf:] You bet, guys.
[Chetry:] We have something to tell you about. This dog who may have been lost for good if it was not for some dolphins, they say, in Marco Island, Florida. According to the 11-year-old dog's owner, she says that "Turbo" disappeared Sunday night. They couldn't find him. She says it turns out that nearby, a group of dolphins were splashing around and making noise and that neighbors went out to investigate, and there they found "Turbo" stranded in canal water.
[Cindy Burnett, Turbo's Owner:] The lady here who had gotten him out of the canal, she said, no, the dolphins were with him. It's a miracle because if he had to tread water all night long, I know he wouldn't have been able to.
[Chetry:] Fifteen hours, he had to have been propped up by those dolphins. Turbo's owner says, of course, she's glad that he's back home safe and sound.
[Holmes:] Dogs have been getting into a lot of trouble this week, it seems. More of your top stories coming up in just in a moment. And also, something you're going to like to hear. Your paycheck is going up? Is that how it feels to you? But apparently, there's some evidence that some companies may be loosening the belt.
[Chetry:] Also, what's the fastest growing music format, is it mp3s? Is it something else digital and portable CDs? How about going back even further? Think happy days making a comeback. Forty-nine minutes past the hour.
