A powerful storm dumped record amounts of snow and ice on the East Coast, leaving stranded travelers and downed power lines in its wake. North Carolina’s highways were littered with abandoned cars after snowfall during the day paralyzed the evening rush, a similar scene to Atlanta’s gridlock in late January.

Gov. Pat McCrory, Republican of North Carolina, will appear on ABC’s “This Week” to talk about the extreme weather. Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles will also join the conversation to discuss California’s record-setting drought. Later in the show, the actor Kevin Spacey, who appears on the political drama “House of Cards,” will talk about the second season, which was released on Netflix on Friday.

Mr. McCrory will also appear on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to give an update on his state. Jim DeMint, a former Republican senator of South Carolina and the president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative policy group, will give his thoughts on the debt-ceiling bill passed on Tuesday.

Extreme weather will dominate the conversation on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” when Bill Nye, scientist and educator, and Representative Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee and the vice chairwoman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, will discuss climate change. Mitt Romney, the former Republican presidential nominee, will also appear on the show to talk about the cost of the Sochi Olympic Games and the future of his party in 2016.

On “Fox News Sunday,” Ted Strickland, former Ohio governor, and Karl Rove, former White House adviser to President George W. Bush, will debate presidential candidate prospects in 2016. This week, President Obama announced a delay for enforcement for medium-size companies to provide health insurance to employees until 2016. Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, and Representative Xavier Becerra, Democrat of California, will discuss these changes.

Syria missed another deadline to turn over its chemical weapons earlier this month. Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, will weigh in on Syria and Iran on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Michael Sam, a defensive lineman for the University of Missouri and a National Football League prospect, announced that he is gay this month. Both CBS and ABC will host roundtable discussions about his decision.

Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart, Republican of Florida, and Luis Gutierrez, Democrat of Illinois, will talk about the state of immigration reform in the House on Telemundo’s “Enfoque.”

On CSPAN’s “Newsmakers,” David Medine, chairman of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, will appear.

Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon and the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, talked about comprehensive tax reform and Senator Rand Paul’s lawsuit against the federal government on Bloomberg’s “Political Capital.” The show airs on Friday and repeats throughout the weekend.
