THERE'S A POSSIBILITY-- FLORIDA COULD PURSUE AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO EXPAND MEDICAID--

SIMILAR TO WHAT ARKANSAS IS PROPOSING.

ARKANSAS WANTS TO TAKE THE FEDERAL CASH FOR MEDICAID EXPANSION

GAETZ MEDICAID-SOTVO

"There possibly, might be, and I want to be very, very prudent about this, could be alternatives to Medicaid expansion the way that Obamacare envisions it. Whether or not those are realistic, whether or not they'd be agreed to by the federal government, whether or not they would solve problems here and even be agreeable to the Senate, let alone to the House or the governor is another matter."

FOR THE *FOURTH* TIME--

A WINTER STORM IS DUMPING A LOT OF SNOW.

THIS TIME FROM VIRGINIA TO MAINE!

AND THE WINDS ARE BLOWING MONSTER WAVES ALONG THE ENTIRE COASTLINE.

WINTER STORM-PKG

March has meant more winter weather in Massachusetts with 6 to 12 inches of

snow in the state.

Colleen McGuire -

"Low and behold, you know, Mother Nature had more in store for us."

But powerful ocean waves and high winds are causing more trouble than the

snow. Flooding at the morning high tide closed some coastal roads in and

around the Boston area.

On Plum Island, north of Boston, the storm surge knocked one home off its

foundation and into the ocean. Fortunately the house was unoccupied.the

owner is spending the winter in Florida. But nearby, Cheryl Comeau is not

so lucky. The home that has been her family for 70 years is teetering on

the brink of the Atlantic.

Cheryl Comeau -

We never went anywhere. This was our vacation, we got to stay here and now

we're going to see it slide into the ocean.

Seven homes in the area are now uninhabitable because of damage from

previous storms along with this one. In other coastal towns in New England,

it's the same story. Jay Harvey's deck is still damaged from the February

blizzard and his living room is boarded up after a wave crashed through.

Jay Harvey -

"It's just, you don't want to feel the house shaking.you can't sleep. We

didn't sleep last night."

But From his office in Boston. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick said

most of the state is coping well.

Patrick:

We live in New England this is at this point in the winter a nuisance storm

it's not an emergency and we're managing"

Further south, New Yorkers suffered through a slushy, cold commute as the

nor'easter wound down.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

WARMER WEATHER THIS WEEKEND

High pressure is set to control our weather providing us with on fantastic weekend.

Tonight, clear skies and light winds will allow temperatures to drop off quickly just after sunset, but it won't be quite as cold. Lower 50s will remain in the forecast for Saturday morning with middle 40s east of I-75.

There's more good news about the weekend. After cool mornings in the 50s, afternoon highs will recover into the lower 80s under mostly sunny skies. Due to a freshly chilled Gulf of Mexico, beaches and coastal locations will more than likely hold in the mid 70s during the day.

Through Sunday, winds will take more of an easterly turn pushing just a few fair weather clouds across the peninsula.

As a result of a milder airflow, daytime numbers will climb in the lower to middle 80s, as overnight temperatures settle into the lower 60s.

I felt like I had gotten punched in the stomach. The wind.I couldn't breath. The wind was knocked out of me. I was terrified.

AFTER A LUMPECTOMY.RADIATION.AND MEDICATION.CONNIE IS STILL CANCER-FREE FIVE YEARS LATER.

EXPERTS SAY EARLY DETECTION IS THE KEY IN THIS CASE AND SO MANY OTHERS.

if you catch it at an early stage, which is Stage I or II, the outcomes are much better.

ACCORDING TO KOMEN.

IF BREAST CANCER IS DETECTED EARLY AND STAYS WITHIN THE BREAST.THE 5-YEAR SURVIVOR RATE IS 99%.

SOME OF THE RISK FACTORS INCLUDE:

AGE.

BEING A WOMAN.

HAVING A FAMILY HISTORY OF BREAST OR OVARIAN CANCER.

AND MUTATIONS IN THE BRCA1 OR BRCA2 GENES.
