and you can see why. the weight of the snow is so heavy, you can imagine what that's doing to power lines. from virginia. look at this huge tree. it snapped. popped. i'm sure a loot of folks heard it. all the way to scituate, mass. the waves are really huge out there. a very angry ocean. you can see the winds pushing all the ocean. behind it all, a fast melt. with a surge of warm air billowing up and over that area just hit. but today, there's still some time to enjoy the spring snow. in connecticut, a sign they're ready for these spring flowers to become a reality. so you ready to see how much warmup we're talking? let's get into the 50s. that's right, the 50s, right here, where i'm standing, by monday. the work week starts out for philadelphia, parts of d.c., close to 60 degrees. you see all those numbers, very spring-like in comparison, for sure. then a new winter storm. denver could get up to a foot of snow. warnings from the southwest to parts of minneapolis and the northern plains. i'll have so much more coming up in the nation's weather. for now, back to dan.

that a new leader of the roman catholic church has been chosen. a new tradition this year -- they've installed a faraday cage, a mesh to prevent wireless signals. an electronic cone of silence. it has the added benefit to protect the cardinals in case lightning should strike. kind of a bonus there. as you say, this year, no clear consensus as they head into the conclave. no front-runners. we'll all be watching the smoke signals. dan? >> thank you, david. the lack of a front-runner could mean this is a longer conclave than usual. last time around, it was over in about a day. so we'll see what happens this time. it all starts on tuesday. abc news will be covering it all with diane sawyer leading our team in rome. a lot of other news overnight. let's go to ron claiborne for that. good morning, ron. >> thank you, dan and bianna. good morning, everyone. we begin with a deadly bombing in the capital of afghanistan,

[ sirens blaring ] killing at least nine afghan civilians, including children. the explosion so strong, this blast-proof wall littered with holes from shrapnel. hagel is on his first official visit to afghanistan as secretary of defense. just yesterday, he offered this reminder of the dangers that still exist. >> we're still at war. i think most americans, the congress, the media, understand that. >> reporter: there are still 68,000 american troops in afghanistan. even as the military draws down those numbers gradually, today's attack is another reminder that this war is far from over. ron? >> muhammad lila, thanks for that. osama bin laden's son-in-law will remain behind bars in new york city. sulaiman abu ghaith, a former al qaeda spokesman, pleaded not guilty in federal court of -- on

explosives, especially liquid explosives. >> i don't think people appreciate the potential destructive capabilities of the liquids. >> drop the knife. drop the knife. >> reporter: some security experts are torn. >> tsa should be focusing on the highest end of the threat spectrum for sure. i'm not sure i would have jumped to allowing knives on planes. >> reporter: the groups who are now fighting are planning to go to congress to ask for help. >> i don't think this policy can go into effect on april 25th. and you know what? we're going to spend every single day between now and then making sure that it doesn't. >> reporter: i asked the tsa about the growing backlash. it says, the agency director, john pistol stands behind his decision. the plan will go into effect at the end of next month. >> it's a controversial one. david, thank you. the other surprising headline out of washington. much better than expected jobs report. 236,000 jobs added last month, some 70,000 more than had been predicted. that helped bring down the
