Karen, we begin with a powerful winter storm that pounded much of the country. Let's bring in Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen for the very latest. Craig, it's over, right?

50.836 - 71.388 Craig Allen

It's over for New York City as well as down the pike all the way to Washington. There still may be some snow showers, but no significant new snowfall totals coming out of this. It could dust the ground, a couple of the snow showers that pass on through, but the storm itself is... has pushed on out to sea by a couple hundred miles.

71.528 - 98.777 Craig Allen

However, there is a backlash to this storm, and that is going to be affecting our listeners in the Boston area. This is going to run across 90, up 91 through central New England, 495 around Boston, The winter storm warning has been extended until 8 p.m. this evening from the backside of this system, which is going to produce off and on snows during the course of the afternoon.

99.097 - 114.543 Craig Allen

Nothing like yesterday, but there still could be an additional one to four, two to five inches of snowfall yesterday. in and around Boston and most of the inland areas to the north and west of Boston. So it's not completely over across New England, not at all.

Good morning, Karen. Yeah, airlines in the U.S., they're just trying to get their schedules back on track, but it's a tough battle ahead after that winter storm. It caused the most flight cancellations since the pandemic. If you go to a FlightAware, more than 3,600 flights, they were canceled as of this morning. That's down from roughly 11,600 cancellations on Sunday.

212.201 - 228.367 Lisa Mateo

You have airlines like United, JetBlue, Delta. They've all said they're looking to get back up and running, but Craig Helen, he was just saying extremely cold air, icy conditions at airports, also along the roads and highways. That's going to continue to make travel difficult. U.S. power grids also being put to the test.

Okay, Lisa, thanks. We want to get to the latest now from Minnesota, where two very different messages are emerging after a Border Patrol agent killed an ICU nurse in Minneapolis over the weekend. Democratic Governor Tim Walz is renewing his call for ICE to leave his state after the shooting death of Alex Preddy.

253.194 - 265.545 Tim Walz

What side do you want to be on? The side of an all-powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace, and kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such government?

265.913 - 283.973 Nathan Hager

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is accusing federal authorities of sullying Preddy's name by saying he brandished a weapon and violently resisted attempts to disarm him. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino says the investigation will continue. I wasn't there wrestling that assaultive subject that was assaulting Border Patrol agents.

283.953 - 298.03 Nathan Hager

I wasn't there wrestling him myself, so I'm not going to speculate. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and Governor Tim Walz held competing news conferences yesterday. Video shot by bystanders shows Preddy with a phone in his hand as he stepped between an agent and a woman on the street.

298.411 - 307.682 Nathan Hager

During the scuffle, agents appeared to find a 9mm semi-automatic handgun on Preddy, then opened fire after he was disarmed. Preddy was licensed to carry a concealed weapon.
