What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager.
And I'm Karen Moscow.
Karen, we begin with the impending major winter storm that will affect a large part of the country, the East Coast, set to be particularly hard hit. Let's get the very latest. Bloomberg meteorologist Craig Allen is with us. Craig, what's the update?
What is the latest update on the winter storm hitting the East Coast?
We are definitely going to get our share, Nathan. And the first thing is that a cold weather advisory is in effect. You need the cold air. That's coming in during the day today. As for the snowfall, that's next. We are all under a winter storm watch from Washington on up through Philadelphia to New York City and all the way on up to Boston. What this means is that there is the potential for six inches of snow or more today. It will start sometime late Saturday night and continue into Sunday for Washington. It will probably start around Sunday morning or so around the New York City area and then take until mid afternoon on Sunday to reach on up into Boston. It's going to start hard and fast and stick immediately because of all that cold air.
And I suspect we'll all start with a six inch snowfall. There could be a top number of 12 to 18 inches of snow in any of these areas along the I-95 corridor. And the only thing that would keep those numbers down is if there's a mix with sleet and freezing rain, a little changeover towards the end. I will have more updates on this to follow as we go through the morning. Karen and Nathan, back to you.
Well, before we let you go, Craig, got to know when this is expected to end.
Oh, you know what? This is a long duration event. So what we get during the day on Sunday, whether it starts in the morning, the afternoon or later in the afternoon for up into New England, it is not going to completely end until Sunday. Monday, I would say somewhere close to lunchtime on Monday. So we're easily going to see about a 24-hour event of snowfall, possibly, as I said, mixing with some sleet or freezing rain towards the end of it to make it even that much more icy. And then after that, the cold stays right through the week. That snow's not going anywhere.
All right, Craig Allen, thanks so much. And as you said, we will be checking in with you throughout the morning. The storm is already having an impact on the airlines. They're making contingent 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.
All right, Tom, thank you. As we continue to track the weather, we want to turn now to President Donald Trump and his foreign policy plans because we're learning more about his framework for a future deal on Greenland. Sources tell Bloomberg News that 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 currently calls for the U.S. to consult with both Denmark and Greenland before making any significant changes. The president says his goal is permanent total access to the island.
We can do anything we want. We can do military. We can do anything we want. And it's being negotiated. And let's see what happens. I think it'll be good.
President Trump spoke aboard Air Force One on his way back to Washington from Davos. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says she's open to expanding the 1951 treaty.
I think everybody in NATO agrees about that. The Arctic states, but also other member states, that we need a permanent presence from NATO in the Arctic region, including around Greenland.
