And I'm Karen Moscow.
Karen, we begin with the impending major winter storm that will impact a large part of the country. The East Coast is expected to be particularly hard hit. Let's get the very latest with Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen. Craig, what is the update?
Right now, Nathan, we're watching snow falling throughout the central portion of the United States and ice that's headed in our direction. I would think right now that it could reach the Washington Baltimore area sometime during late Saturday night into the early, early hours of Sunday. That's when it starts, makes its way on up. Ninety five goes. past Philadelphia, Baltimore, and right on up towards New York City, probably by around sunrise or so. I would think it'll be snowing when you wake up Sunday morning and it'll be coming down hard and sticking right away because the air will be so cold. And then it makes its way on up right into New England. So Boston. Figure by about midday on Sunday, the snow will be falling and also sticking right away.
In terms of accumulations, by the time this all starts to wind down, I'm saying right now that there could be anywhere from six inches or more for the Washington, D.C. area. Eight to 14 is not out of the question, especially for the inland suburbs for New York and even a foot and a half for some areas inland of Boston. And the reason I say inland is is because there is a possibility of sleet and freezing rain mixing in along some of these immediate coastal cities, the closer you water the shoreline, and that will hold accumulations down just a little bit. But on the other hand, guys, I mean, we're talking about ice, and that's not much better at all. No, it isn't.
Ice, snow, when can we expect this all to end, Craig?
This is going to be a long-duration event. I'm afraid that it may take until Monday morning through Monday afternoon for it to completely come to an end up the 95 corridor. So with that in mind, right now I'm thinking to myself that things are going to be moving very slowly, if at all, on Monday morning. Schools, so forth, and work, and I think there'll be a lot of work-from-home conditions as we go on into the early part of next week.
All right, Craig. Craig Allen will be checking in with you throughout the morning.
What is the latest update on the winter storm threatening the East Coast?
The storm is already having an impact on the airlines. They're making contingency plans for an expected weekend of messy travel, and Bloomberg's Tom Busby continues our team coverage.
U.S. carriers are out with backup plans for passengers ahead of wicked winter weather expected to impact 125 million Americans from today through Monday and disrupt air traffic from coast to coast. Delta offering to rebook flights to and from 41 airports in the south and southwest. United waiving change fees for flights at 61 airports. An American will do the same at airports from New Mexico to Virginia. Even low-cost carriers like Spirit, Southwest, and JetBlue will waive fees for travelers. Tom Busby, Bloomberg Radio.
Okay, Tom, thank you. As we continue to track the weather, we're also looking at President Donald Trump's foreign policy plans as we learn more about the president's framework of a future deal on Greenland. Sources tell Bloomberg News the U.S. wants to rewrite its defense agreement with Denmark to remove any limits on its military presence on the island. The current arrangement was signed in 1951, amended in 2004. It calls for the U.S. to consult with both Denmark and Greenland
