News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Ed Kalecki. Snow and dangerously bitter cold have begun to spread from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes as a massive winter storm pushes toward the U.S. northeast, disrupting travel and threatening power outages for much of the nation. The storm is expected to span nearly 1,500 miles, bringing heavy snow, crippling ice and sub-zero wind chill to some of the biggest U.S. cities. Airlines have already canceled more than 6,200 flights. Amtrak has pulled dozens of trips from its schedule. New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani told residents of the nation's largest city that snow removal efforts have been prepared and that a decision will be made at 12 noon Sunday as to whether schools will be open Monday or if it will be a virtual learning day.

Meteorologist Craig Allen on the potential impacts for the northeast corridor.

Here in the northeast, the hazards from this storm are going to be mounting. Most maps are showing a solid 6 to 12 inch snowfall from D.C. to New York City and on up to Boston. And there will definitely be cities and towns, especially west of 95, that will get more, perhaps a foot and a half. On the other side of 95, closer to the coast, some locations may stop at 6 or so, and then followed by a sleet and ice storm. And as for the timing, the snow will likely start around midnight Saturday night in the D.C.-Baltimore area, give or take, and it will likely be snowing in New York City and suburbs by the time you get up on Sunday and reach up to Boston towards lunchtime on Sunday. Now, the snow will fall heavily.
Craig Allen 2:21
It will accumulate rapidly. If there is to be any sleet or freezing rain mixing in, it will most likely be south of I-78 in New Jersey Sunday night. Otherwise, this storm won't start winding down until sunup Monday in D.C., but linger even later in New York City and most of the day for Boston.

Meteorologist Craig Allen. According to people familiar with the White House deliberations, Rick Reeder's Wall Street bona fides and openness to make changes at the Federal Reserve have bolstered his candidacy for the central bank's top job. The BlackRock executive is seen as looking the part of the central banker and has also grabbed President Trump's attention with his myriad of ideas for overhauling the Fed. Reeder, one of four contenders to be Trump's pick to lead the central bank, has elicited positive reaction from bond market participants as Trump administration officials have sought investor views on the short list of Fed chair candidates. President Trump has dispatched naval assets to the Middle East, prompting fresh speculation that he'll follow through on threats to attack Iran's senior leadership amid a violent crackdown on nationwide protests.
