/ 05:18/E993
New York City is under its first blizzard warning in nearly a decade as a massive winter storm threatens the Atlantic coast with up to 20 inches of snow. While the Northeast braces for the impact, Team USA has achieved a historic milestone at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, securing an 11th gold medal to break their previous single-games record. On the geopolitical stage, President Trump is weighing a potential military strike on Iran, with a decision expected within the next 15 days as U.S. naval forces move into position. Domestically, a California judge has blocked a federal effort to stop gender-affirming care at a San Diego hospital, marking a significant legal clash between state and federal authority. Finally, the world remembers salsa icon Willie Colón, whose death at age 75 marks the end of an era for the Bronx-born sound that defined a generation of Latin music.

New York City and the surrounding Atlantic coast are bracing for a severe winter storm that has triggered the city's first blizzard warning since 2017. Mayor Zohran Mamdani warned that up to 20 inches of snow could fall, potentially paralyzing the Monday morning commute and causing widespread power outages. Meanwhile, the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics saw Team USA reach a historic 11 gold medals after a victory in the mixed team aerials by Connor Curran and Chris Lillis. This breaks the long-standing record of 10 gold medals set during the 2002 Salt Lake City games. In Washington, President Trump is considering military options regarding Iran's nuclear program, signaling a decision within 15 days as aircraft carriers and warplanes maintain a heavy presence in the Middle East. Additionally, the legal battle over healthcare for minors continues in California, where Judge Matthew Braner has ordered Rady Children's Hospital to maintain treatments despite federal funding threats.
