What are the latest updates on the blizzard warnings in the northeastern U.S.?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. Tens of millions of people remain under blizzard warnings tonight as snow falls across the northeastern U.S. and mid-Atlantic. Forecasters say some areas can expect as much as two feet of snow. That includes parts of Connecticut, where the governor has declared a state of emergency. Chris Polanski of Connecticut Public Radio has our reports.
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont says this snowstorm will be worse than one last month that dumped nearly 20 inches on parts of the state.
This is not our first snowstorm. We're in New England, but this is going to be a bad one. Probably the worst storm we've seen since 2013.
State Emergency Management Director William Turner agrees. It is going to be a very dangerous storm. We're looking at a multi-hazard event.

That's NPR's Alina Selyuk. Trump, meanwhile, quickly used other authority to place a temporary 15% global tariff on most products. The U.S. and Iran plan to hold new talks in Geneva on Thursday. That's according to Iran's foreign minister. The goal of the meeting is to avoid what Iran says could be a regional war if the U.S. attacks. Ampere's Jane Araf reports.
Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Arakji, said he will probably meet with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff on Thursday in Geneva in the latest negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. Oman, which has facilitated the talks, confirmed the plan. Arakji made the comments in a CBS interview in which he also said there was a good chance for a diplomatic solution on the issue. The U.S.
