Power outages galore and once the power's out, the temperatures are going to feel like the negative 20s in some of these spots. Are you talking about a, a wind chill of about minus seven in Nashville itself? Where is the snow? Going up into the mid Atlantic New York City, you're going to see about 6 to 10 inches of snow. Same with Philadelphia. But you're going to mix it in with a little bit of sleet and freezing rain. It'll buzz it down for you guys. In Washington, about 3 to 5 inches of sleet and snow. It's a, it's really a winter mess. But Boston, the big winner. In New England, we're talking about over 20 inches worth of snowfall.

[Angelo Bavaro]

And the Minnesota National Guard has been.

[Bob Van Dillen]

Activated to some neighborhoods. Fox's Matt Finn.

[Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey]

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry says he requested the guard from Governor Tim Walls, saying his local law enforcement is stretched thin after Federal agents shot 37 year old Alex Preddy's family. Writing we are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Please get the truth out, son. He was a good man. Thank you. DHS says Preddy had a 9 millimeter semiautomatic handgun on him and two full magazines when he approached agents. Officers tried to disarm Preddy, but they claim he violently resisted. An agent fearing for his life ultimately shot Preddy.

[Bob Van Dillen]

Truce that could possibly lead to a partial government shutdown. This after a Minneapolis man was shot and killed by an ICE agent on Saturday. Maryland Governor West Moore on the Sunday briefing with Peter Ducey saying that no.

[Angelo Bavaro]

Other place will get hurt more from.

[Bob Van Dillen]

A shutdown than Maryland.

[Maryland Governor Wes Moore]

We've had over 25,000 people, Marylanders fired federal workers just in the process of this past year. And so the impact of the federal government decisions has significant impact and these shutdowns have significant impact on me, my people and our economy.

[Angelo Bavaro]

That possible government shutdown could happen at.

[Bob Van Dillen]

The end of this week.

[Angelo Bavaro]

President Trump with an update on his.

[Bob Van Dillen]

Push to acquire Greenland, which is getting some backlash from global leaders. From fox's Lucas Tomlinson, what I'm asking.

[Lucas Tomlinson]

For is a piece of ice, cold and poorly located that can play a vital role in world peace.

[Reporter on NATO and Trump]

President Trump announced the framework of an agreement after meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta in Davos. He also backed off his threat to take Greenland by force. Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Friedrichsen says NATO has no authority to negotiate on her country's behalf or the autonomous territory within its kingdom. She refused to talk about Trump's proposed deal while on a visit here.

[Angelo Bavaro]

French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed that his country will stand up to quote.

[Bob Van Dillen]

Unquote bullies opposing President Trump's plan. Before that agreement, the U.S. threatened tariffs on nations that oppose the President's wishes. Macron called that threat fundamentally unacceptable. A U.S. delegation met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday to talk progress and implementation for phase two of President Trump's 20 point plan for Gaza. And this comes after the president created a board of peace he calls to oversee the ceasefire and rebuilding in Gaza.
