❄️ 🥶 💨 All eyes on the storm |
Snow. Ice. Sleet. Freezing temperatures. |
Millions of Americans are bracing for a winter storm that forecasters say could knock out power lines, dump several inches of snow and ice, and snarl travel for days. The National Weather Service says 132 million people are under severe weather alerts from the Southwest up through New England. The massive system will ramp up tomorrow and move across the East Coast over the weekend. What we know now. | Lisa Hemphill, of Hull, is bundled up tight against the cold wind in her face while walking along Nantasket Beach on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026. Greg Derr/The Patriot Ledger |

Vance in Minnesota; ICE tactics continue to draw ire |
Vice President JD Vance is in Minnesota, which is still reeling from federal immigration operations — and protests against them — that have disrupted daily life, forced some into hiding and claimed the life of Renee Good. |
ICE agents' tactics, meanwhile, continue to draw anger and outrage from local officials and residents, as well as observers across the U.S.: School officials in one district said ICE has detained four students, one of them just 5 years old. The latest from Minnesota. | Federal agents hold a person down as immigration enforcement continues after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good on Jan. 7 during an immigration raid, in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Jan. 21, 2026.

No REAL ID? Get ready to pony up real $ |
If you need to board a plane but don't have your REAL ID yet, you'll have to drop some real dough: Starting Feb. 1, the Transportation Security Administration will require passengers without REAL IDs to pay an additional $45 fee to verify their identity. The TSA says that's about 6% of travelers. What you need to know. |
