Chris Christie heads home for snowstorm.

Chris Christie is headed back to New Jersey for the snowstorm after all. "I'm sorry NH, I gotta go home. We got snow coming," Christie tweeted Friday afternoon, cutting short a New Hampshire campaign trip that was supposed to end Monday.

His remote management plans didn't go over well, however — New York Mayor Bill de Blasio slammed him Friday morning for putting politics ahead of his state.
