Winter storm over the mid-Atlantic coast. I'm Roger Stern, Fox News. A snowstorm battering parts of the country and sending snow into North Carolina. Fox Weather's Bob Van Dillon is in Charlotte.
A lot of good forcing for heavy snow, and that's now edging right out of Greenville into the Piedmont of North Carolina. That's why we're starting to see these snowfall totals pick up, and this is just phase number one. This eventually will transfer its energy offshore, but that's not going to be until late this afternoon to the evening hours. So we're in it now with heavy bouts of snow. Winds have been starting to pick up. Some of these areas might get blizzard-like conditions. Even around the Piedmont, if we see the winds cranking over 35 miles per hour, the visibility is going to start to drop. Drifting snow, that's going to be an issue also, but it's already starting to pile up.
There are Easter disrupting air travel, nationwide cancellations and delays, total 3,100 according to flightaware.com. For more weather updates, you can download the Fox Weather app. A partial government shutdown has begun, though lawmakers are hoping it won't last for very long. Fox's Madeline Rivera in Washington with more.
Most federal offices are closed through the weekend, so the effects of the shutdown may be minimal if the House votes to pass the bill when they return to D.C. on Monday. The package only funds DHS for two weeks, and during that time, Dems say they'll have negotiations on how to overhaul immigration enforcement. In a call with House Republicans on Friday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he wants a vote on the Senate deal Monday night. Johnson saying, I'm going to encourage you. No, I'm going to beg you to get back on Sunday night. It's very frustrating. I have been very frustrated by all of this, but I've got to tip my hat to the president. He knows the art of the deal.
Not clear how many will support the revised package. America is listening at Fox News.

President Trump is defending his global tariff policy in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. Fox's Jared Halpern at the White House.
Historic tariffs imposed on nearly every U.S. trading partner have created an American economic miracle, President Trump writes in the Wall Street Journal. Dismissing predictions of a global economic meltdown, the president in an op-ed writes his administration has proven decisively that properly applied tariffs do not hurt growth but promote growth and greatness. President Trump has relied largely on emergency powers to impose what he called Liberation Day tariffs last year. He's facing a legal challenge from business groups and a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court over the president's use of tariffs is expected any day now. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.
House Republicans released a plan they say will secure America's elections.
Dubbed the Make Elections Great Again Act, the GOP-led bill would require photo ID when casting a ballot and verification of citizenship when registering to vote. The mega act would also require mail-in ballots be received by the time polls close on Election Day, while some states allow mail-in ballots be received after Election Day. It's part of Republicans' push to secure U.S. elections, but House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calls it dead on arrival.
Voter suppression is part of the Republican plan to try desperately to hold on to power.
It's unclear how soon the bill could get a vote in the House. On Capitol Hill, Ryan Schmelz, Fox News.
