Boston is one of the cities that did have those blizzard conditions here. So, yes, we got a lot of snow. We also had some winds gusting nearly 70 miles per hour. But we've had some pretty impressive records just across the Northeast and the mid Atlantic. So we're going to start in Central park in New York City where they got nearly 20 inches of snow, establishing the blizzard as one of the most powerful winter storms in the city's history. Now over in Rhode island, they had 37.9 inches of snow reported. That broke their longest standing record, making this the greatest snowstorm in Providence's history. Their last record was 28.6 inches of snow.

El Mencho's henchmen responded by taking to the streets, killing dozens of people in stores, gas stations, roadways, all burned. Flights in and out of the area were grounded. Mexico's president is urging calm.

The most important thing at this moment is to guarantee the peace and security of the entire population of all of Mexico.

President Trump set to deliver his annual State of the Union address. Tonight. He delivers it as we hear from fox's Bill Maluja.

There may be quite a few empty seats during President Trump's speech here on the Hill tomorrow night, well over a dozen Democrats have said they plan on skipping that speech speech. And keep in mind that's after they already got some backlash last year for their actions. During President Trump's first State of the Union speech last year, Democrats refused to stand for angel parents as well as a young boy who was battling cancer. You remember Texas Congressman Al Green had an outburst in the middle of the speech that led to him being removed. Now, some of the Democrats who are expected to skip the speech have already said they're going to plan to attend a rally at the National Mall that's being hosted and co sponsored by Midas Touch and Move On. Other Democrats who do plan to attend the speech are planning to bring victims and survivors associated with Jeffrey Epstein.
