President trump capping off a day of wild tweets appeared to taunt kim jongun and north korea. North Korean Leader kim jongun just stated that the Nuclear Button on his desk, please inform him that i too have a Nuclear Button but it is much bigger and more powerful than his and my button works. That tweet drew sharp criticism including from James Clapper on cnn. It would almost be amusing if it werent for the gravity of the subject. When were casually back and forth by whatever means, kind of a duelling banjo, who has the greatest the bigger male appendage its also almost a manhood thing, when there are potentially millions of lives at stake, an untold death and destruction here and to me its very, very disturbing. Lawmakers also weighed in like democratic senator who tweeted imagine being a Service Member or a Family Member of a Service Member and reading this. This borders on president ial malpractice. This comes days after kim jonguns peace overture to south korea. Lets go live to seoul. Reporter hello, dave. Well, north and south korea have made communication and a connection once again, just a matter of hours ago. It was the communication hot line at the dmz. Weve had a readout of what was said. The names have been taken out for security reasons and it is very short. North korea phoned south korea at 1 30 a. M. Eastern time. A south korean official said this is x and the north korean official said this is x. And they checked the technicalities to make sure the commune kwags line was still working. There was no more. They have been waiting for a second phone call from north korea. Its now 7 00 p. M. In the evening. They could potentially have to wait until tomorrow to find out if north korea is going to say yes to their suggestion. They have suggested that next tuesday, january 9th, they should meet at the dmz for high level talks to talk about the fact that kim jongun wants to send a delegation to the pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Now, as for that tweet from the u. S. President , were not going to get an official response from that from south korea. Certainly not from the president moon who has welcomed the new years day suggestions of peace between north and south korea, but we could get something from north korea. We have seen in the past that kim jongun has responded almost directly to the u. S. President when he is being rebutting any threats or anything against him so well have to see if he says anything this time. Indeed we will. The world awaits a month ahead of the olympics. President trump also weighing in again on the deadly Anti Government protests in iran tweeting the people of iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt iranian regime. All of the money that president obama so foolishly gave them went into terrorism and into their pockets. The people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. The u. S. Is watching. Nikki haley, the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Echoing her bosss sentiments. We must not be silent. The people of iran are crying out for freedom. All freedom loving people must stand with their cause. The white house will not go as far as saying it wants regime change. For now, Ambassador Haley says theyre seeking an emergency squurt council in new york and a rights meeting in iran to deal with this crisis. Nick, how is iran responding to these comments by President Trump and Ambassador Haley . Reporter well, frankly being dismissive of external judgment of whats happening inside of iran. Given the supreme leaders comments yesterday that in fact it was the enemies of iran that were fermenting these protests, the level of support weve heard from the u. S. And ern direct comments from u. S. State Department Officials that they are in contact on social media trying to encourage protests plays into that broader narrative that these are not grass roots protests from angry young people across economic changes but instead something fermented by foreign powers. Were now into the seventh day. The death toll not rising from 21 overnight. Very sporadic information coming out, but what is clear that News Agencies saying now theres protesters coming on to the streets. It does appear that theyre not on the same scale or widespread as they were before, but still, there are a lot of economic problems in iran. Let you see some of the price rises people have experienced over some of the past months. The result is possibly of awe centerry measures, a more complex budget. The president reelected only in august and so the broader question here is, do we see these protests slowly run out of steam, or does the rhetoric from the white house encourage them or does it give license to hard liners to suggest this can be repressed more forcefully. These questions to be answered in the days ahead. One question they might be feeling a little calmer. Theyre talking about lifting social media restriction in areas where the unrest has ended. This is very foolish to call it over or ebbing at this stage. All right. Thanks, nick. Joining us this morning, a senior political correspondent. Good to have you back. Great to see you both. This Nuclear Button trending on twitter, the president of the United States saying mine is bigger than yours to kim jongun. Widespread criticism needless to say, but not so widespread that it reached the republican party. Will rehear the return of bob corker, of jeff flake perhaps mitt romney. The white house is behaving like a daycare center, that somebody needs to reign in the president s actions. Its been widespread criticism among republicans and you can see why. Its an inflammatory statement that is meant to get under kim jonguns skin. Its consuming his attention. Theres a lot to get done back home. We have only a couple of weeks until the olympics, but this is something that has just captured the president s attention and is really bothering him. And pakistan, the palestin n palestinia palestinians, the president taking credit for air safety. The president really starting the year with this twitter storm, yet when you talk to republicans and people advising the president on how to capitalize on the tax cut win, they want to be talking about a domestic agenda here and how to take the tax cut win and run that out on a legislative agenda. Thats part of what theyre going to discuss in a meeting today to figure out how the republican agenda dove tails with the democratic agenda. Do they hit welfare reform. Do they go into daca. Are they going to revisit health care. Wheres the replacement . Theres a lot to be said about what the trump agenda is domestically and what the trump doctrine is globally. A lot of people are watching him to say where exactly do you stand . The budget director, the legislative Affairs Director from the white house and leaders from both congressional, so pelosi, rye yaan, mcconnell, wh will they start . Will daca, chip, Childrens Health insurance be handled by this looirn to fund the government . Ive had sources tell me the fact that chip is something thats being negotiated in this partisan fashion is in their words insane. Thats how tough its become to get anything at all through. Even has a different place where they want to start. The most pressing deadline is january 19th. Thats when they finally have to come to terms with how much money theyll use and how they fund the government. Theres so much tied in there. Of course, march 5th is when President Trump has set the deadline for figuring out what to do with these 700,000 dreamers across the u. S. Childrens funding for health care is going to begin to run out very soon, certainly by march theres no more money to put that program through. Theyre also working on a Sticking Point about surveillance law. Do they authorize this post 9 11 program. You have the defense hawks on one side and then people who say its government reoverreach. All of these things are Sticking Points because this spending bill is a must pass item. I think the president said edreamers are going to fall in love with the republican party. How . I dont what are the tools they have here . I mean, he wants a wall, a physical actual 2,200 mile wall in exchange for a deal on dream early star ers. Democrats have been unequivocal on that. The wall is a nonstarter. But if they want a conversation on border security, thats something where schumer and pelosi can come to the table. If both sides can come to an agreement, they keep talking about that wall, they probably wont get there. Thats if the president can find something to satisfy his base that comes up short of a wall. How they thread that needle we do not know, but lets talk utah real quick. Orrin hatch is out after 40 years. Mitt romney changing his twitter location from massachusetts to utah yesterday. Any doubt hell run and do we expect him to return to being this trump critic . Yeah, romney has been a pretty consistent figure through most of his time in politics and hes had no problem coming out as somebody that would hit the president hard. Now, my sources tell me that they expect mitt romney to get into the race, that its a natural fit and he is somebody who still has a lot of appeal within the republican party. The republicans are facing a challenge here heading into 2018. They need to decide whether theyre going to put President Trump out front and center, whether they want to rile up the base or whether they need to figure out how to reclaim that middle ground. Somebody like mitt romney lives in the middle and could be really appealing to voters. And will stooeeve bannon hav primary challenge waiting for mitt to get in that race. The twitter tirade targeting his own Justice Department. The president going after former Hillary Clinton aide as well as james comey saying the deep state Justice Department must finally act on them and others suggesting a Conspiracy Theory against him. Heres sarah sanders. Does he believe the entire Justice Department and its more than 100,000 employees are part of this deep state. Obviously he doesnt believe the entire Justice Department is part of that. The tweet comes days after the state Department Released thousands of emails. They show abedin forwarded confidential information to her personal yahoo account that included passwords to Government Systems though that email was not marked as classified as the president claimed. Today marks the deadline for the Justice Department to turn over documents related to the infamous dossier on candidate trump. Nunez has threatened to hold top officials in contempt. The russia probe reaches a critical partisan cross roads. Claiming scant evidence of collusion has been found. Democrats insisting several key areas have not been fully investigated including the extent of russian efforts to get dirt on Hillary Clinton to members of the trump campaign. Meantime the cofounders of fusion gps, thats the firm that paid for the dossier on candidate trump with new op ed in the new york times. They pushed back on republican criticism of the dossier saying it was not what prompted the russia investigation. According to cofounders, the dossier corroborated reports the fbi received from other sources including one inside the trump camp. Ahead, if cold were not enough, snow making its way up the east coast. Thats right. Snow, six inches or so. How much is in store. Why the temps are actually going down for this frigid weekend ahead. And when youod sugar is a replace one meal. Choices. Or snack a day with glucerna. Made with carbsteady. To help minimize blood sugar spikes. You can really feel it. Now with 30 less carbs and sugars. Glucerna. Txdot surging into the new year. The nasdaq jumping up. A pace not seen since the days of the dot com boom. Investors in love with a few big names. Five companies alone contributed more than two thirds of that nasdaq thousand point rise over the past eight months. Tech was the best performing sector in 2017 and all of these statistics made people whisper that b word, bubble. But despite high valuations for Tech Companies there arent signs of a bubble yet. The markets current rally is due to legitimately strong Economic Growth and big corporate profits which will only get a boost from the recently passed business tax cuts. The nasdaq jumped up 28 last year beating both the gains for the dow and the s p 500. The deep freeze hitting even the deep south. In pensacola, florida, the frigid frigid temperatures turning this fountain into an ice sculpture. Niagra falls remains one big beautiful icicle and a one hundred car pile up in buffalo. The rest of the week, extreme cold will linger with the addition of snow moving up the east coast. Ivan joins us live from the cnn w Weather Center. Bomb cyclone to blast east coast before polar vortex uncorks tremendous cold. Yes, we are in a hash tag world and so those words are very popular but theres no such thing as a bomb cyclone for kids watching at home, dont worry. Its just a snowstorm. Its going to make it feel terrible and 60 to 70mileperhour winds, sure, thats a big noreaster coming up here, but this is the part thats unusual, to have winter storm warnings as far south as florida. Accumulating snow and ice there but it will be of course a snow event for the midatlantic but i think this is one of those new england storms although new york will be on that edge and i think you will see accumulations of several inches here. This is blizzard warnings from maine and into massachusetts as well with the heavy snow and those wins at 60 to 70. So as far as the accumulations, even in savannah and charleston, two to three inches of snowfall in the deep south and then across new england it will be a bigger deal here. Well take you city by city. Philly 1 to 2. 3 to 6 in new york and boston again, new england storm here with 9 to 12 inches of snowfall. All that with wind. Thursday morning were already getting the storm which meteorologists will call it a genesis. 50, 60, 70mileperhour gusts through nantucket and in through cape cod and the islands. That would be through thursday and things begin to wind down for friday, but thats just in time for the arctic air mass, the next one heading in for the weekend. So its going to pile up and stay frozen for quite some time. Ill leave you with some good news. The arctic air moving north on monday and plain old cold on the northeast. We have moderating temps. But at least no bomb cyclones. Thank goodness. All right. There was no grand prize winner in tuesday nights 360 million megamillions drawing. There you go. You know what that means. The jackpot for friday is even more mega,jumping to at least 418 million. If you are still feeling delusional or lucky tonights powerball drawing is the next chance to lose the Powerball Jackpot estimated at 440 million. Probably the worst Financial Planning in the world. And one you will not talk me out of. And millions of americans dont listen to me. The long awaited debut for lebrons new wingman in cleveland. More on the bleacher report. He has the debut of Isaiah Thomas, next. hard exhalation honey . Can we do this tomorrow . grunts of effort can we do this tomorrow . If you have Heart Failure symptoms, your risk of hospitalization could increase, making tomorrow uncertain. But entresto is a medicine that was proven, in the largest Heart Failure study ever, to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading Heart Failure medicine. Women who are pregnant must not take entresto. It can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. Dont take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. If youve had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine, dont take entresto. The most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. Tomorrow, tomorrow. When can we do this again, grandpa . Well, how about tomorrow . Ask your doctor about entresto and help make tomorrow possible. Two time nba all star Isaiah Thomas gets his debut with the cavaliers. Isaiah thomas steps on to the court for the first time as a cavalier and the people of cleveland said feel the love, baby. Listen to this. Welcome to the land of the free, Isaiah Thomas it was an emotional departure from the celtics, shockingly being shipped away from boston as part of this offseasons biggest block buster trade. He missed the first 36 games of the season with a hip injury, but Isaiah Thomas debuts in cleveland and how good lebrons superteam may be in prison. It felt like i was a rookie all over again i havent played in so long, but my teammates want me to be who i am. They want me to be aggressive and score and make plays so the easy thing is going out there and doing it. The one thing i knew that was going to happen for sure is when he was coming in and i knew the fans were going to give him the ovation that hes been waiting on, that he deserved. Just 37 days until the Winter Olympics in pyeongchang and imagine being able to say dad, i made it. That was the case for bobby butler of the american hockey leagues admirals calling his father over to let him know he will be representing the usas hockey team in south korea. Bobbys dad was his High School Coach just outside of boston. His dad was the coach for 25 years so imagine that bond and now taking the next step together as a family. Thats awesome. There is an upside to having no nhl players. Lesser talent but Great Stories like that one. North korea has reopened a line of communication with south korea. It comes hours after President Trumps most direct Nuclear Threat against pyongyang. The hot line is back on. Lines of communication open this morning between north and south korea hours after President Trumps 280 character message to kim jongun. Anything you nuke, i can nuke bigger. Nothing abnormal about that. The president s tweet on north korea part of a wild and wide ranging social tirade. He took aim at iran, the palestinians, democrats and his own deep state Justice Department. And the Senate Returns to washington today, top level meetings on tap. Can the white house get its 2018 agenda off the ground . Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to early start. The concept of mad or mutually assured destruction comes to mind this morning. Breaking overnight, diplomatic contact has resumed between north and south korea just hours ago north korea called south korea through a now revived communication line. Discussions resumed after a green light from kim jongun. Its widely viewed as a way to drive a wedge between seoul and the United States, it comes just hours after President Trump capped off a day of wild tweets appearing to taunt kim jongun and north korea. North Korean Leader just stated that the Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times. Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that i too have a Nuclear Button but it is a much bigger and more powerful one than his and my button works. That from the leader just think about that for a while. It drew sharp criticism including from former director of national intelligence, James Clapper on cnn. It would be amusing if it werent for the gravity of the subject. When were casually back and forth by whatever means kind of a duelling banjo who has the greatest the bigger male appendage its also almost a manhood thing. There are potentially millions of lives at stake an untold death and destruction here and to me its very disturbing. Lawmakers also weighed in. Like democratic senator who tweeted imagine being a Service Member or family of a Service Member stationed in korea and reading this. Borders on president ial malpractice. This comes after king jonguns peace overture to south korea. Lets go live in seoul. So the hot line is open. There has been some communication. What can you tell us . Reporter well, at this point the communication has been limited, but the very fact it is being made is what is significant. So just a few hours ago we know that the communication line, the hot line which is at the dmz at the tus village, that has been opened. North korea phoned south korea. We have the read out of what they said but of course the names have been taken out for security. What they said was the south korean official said this is x. The north korean official said this is x. That is all we have been given of what was talked about, but they do say it was more of a technical checking of the line. It hasnt been used since february 2016 although south korea has been calling that line twice a day every day since then to see if north korea picked up. But now we do have this communication between them. No word though on whether or not north korea is going to go along with south koreas idea of high level talks next tuesday to discuss north koreas delegation that kim jongun is willing to spend to the pyeongchang Winter Olympics. We are not going to get a response to that tweet from the president from the south korean side. A few months ago talking to the south korean president i asked him about another tweet that trump had given and he basically said lets not read them too narrowly so theyre t not going to go there. We may get a response from the north koreans. Well have to see what kim jongun makes of it. Rocket man, and now my button is bigger than yours. President trump weighing in on the deadly Anti Government protests in iran. All of the money that president obama so foolishly gave them went into terrorism and into their pockets. The people have little food, big inflation and no human rights. The u. S. Is watching. Nikki haley echoing her bosss sentiment. We must not be silent. The people of iran are crying out for freedom. All freedom loving people must stand with their cause. The white house wont go so far as saying it wants regime change. For now Ambassador Haley says the u. S. Is seeking an Emergency Council meeting in new york and a human rights Council Meeting in geneva to deal with the iran crisis. Nick, good morning to you. How is iran responding to these comments from the president . Well, they have been broadly dismissive of the u. S. Take on this, obviously they refer to the United States as the great satan within much of the iranian government, but you know, were now into the seventh day, a week of protests. Today really marked though by a massive uptick in pro government demonstrations, supporting moderate president and the hard line clerics that provide the sort of supreme leadership of iran. Now, those protests taking off in cities around iran, but at the same time too, it doesnt appear necessarily to be a finite end to the unrest at this stage. Incredibly hard to know exactly how widespread its been in the last 24 hours. About six or seven cities where weve manage to assess the protests have continued. The same time you cant tell if thats the full mick chur, i think some of the restrictions placed on media with inside the country. Grievances which the moderate president has expressed sim pa i this with and you can see some of the price rises that have occurred on basic commodities, making life difficult for ordinary iranians. The problem now is of course how do you find an end, a peaceful negotiation with a protest movement that doesnt have a leader, doesnt have a clear manifesto that appears to be very spontaneous, the issue being that the u. S. Fermenting these protests is something that the hard liners in iran accuse the protesters of cauusing and course lead some to be concern that theres some at least crackdown in the posz l days ahead although at this stage we are seeing maybe the numbers beginning or the intensity to slow. Tough to get information out of iran given all the restrictions. Thanks. Meanwhile Ambassador Haley also targeting pakistan. Haley confirming the Trump Administration is with holding 255 million in military aide until pakistan does more to combat terrorism. President trump threatening the palestinians with the same tactic, tweeting, we pay the palestinians hundred of millions of dollars a year and get no appreciation or respect. They dont want to negotiate a long overdue peace treaty with israel. Why should we make any of these massive future payments to them . Lets go live to jerusalem, new reaction just in from the palestinian president. Reporter christine, palestinian president is furious as are many other leaders at President Trumps trump to cut off foreign aide to the palestinian which totals hundreds of millions of dollars. A spokesman for abas said jerusalem is not for sale rebuffing not only the latest tweet but also President Trumps recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel a few weeks ago and weve seen similar sentiments from other leaders who said we will not be blackmailed on jerusalem. Perhaps predictably some israeli ministers have hailed this threat from President Trump encouraging him to do so saying it will put pressure on the pal sk skinians. Netanyahu did not make a statement about it at his cabinet meeting. He decided to focus on other issues. Its worth looking at that tweet again because he said hes taking jerusalem off the table. That contradicts what he said just a few weeks ago when he said his recognition doesnt determine israelis sovereignty in the holy city or borders. So trumps vision is on jerusalem remains unclear. All right. Thank you so much for that. Joining us thisern mooi mor Senior Correspondent at bustle. Com. Weve got to start in north korea. A hot line open between the north and the south that could very well be trying to drive a wedge between the u. S. And seoul and the president of the United States telling kim jongun, mine is bigger than yours in terms of the Nuclear Button. Joking, joshing, miscalculating maybe with something that is incredibly incredibly important. What does this tell us about the president after a tenday vacation in florida . One of my sourced called President Trump the chief pourer of gasoline on the fire. While tensions between the u. S. And north korea are nothing new, whats new is having a president who is willing to return verbal fire at the kim family in the way that weve seen him do. Imagine that tweet that you just read being translated into korean and being presented to that countrys leader. Its a dynasty. So respectful leaders is of paramount importance. These might look petty or small but they matter a great deal. Now, the way this is shaping up between north and south korea, this could be a big opening. Back in 2000 and 2004 we saw the athletes from both countries march together in the Opening Ceremony under a unified flag and thats something the south Korean Leader said he would pursue again. They would have the spotlight, they would have that International Recognition that they crave. The legitimacy, have a way of showing off their athletes and their officials. That could be a good way for south korea to ensure a peaceful couple of weeks in pyeongchang, but President Trump might weigh in here and we might see a disturbance. You wonder with senate returning to capitol hill today if we see the return of bob corker or jeff flake or someone willing to step out and say, this is not going to work. Threatening nuclear war over twitter is not going to work for this party or this country, but theres also this in the 16 tweet storm that came from the president about a deep state. The president tweeting crooked Hillary Clintons taid, she put pass words in the hands of foreign agents. Deep state Justice Department. Thats the part that really raised eyebrows. Its like a Conspiracy Theory. Sanders was asked about that yesterday. Heres what she said. Does he believe the entire Justice Department and its more than 100,000 employees are part of this deep state . Obviously he doesnt believe the entire Justice Department is part of that. You know, one of the things that the president has done is appoint Christopher Wray at the fbi because he wants to change the culture of that agency and he thinks hes the right person to do that. Again i bring this back to Congressional Republicans who want to talk about the economy because it is taking off and they just got through their life long goal of tax cuts. How much does this deep state stuff knock them off message . How much of it is shared . Theres a lot to inpack in that tweet. The Justice Department has been weaponized against the presidency, theres a Campaign Official who has not been charged with a crime should be jailed. Theres a whole lot there to unpack, but youre right. What republicans want the president to do is stick to that win on tax reform. They were riding high into the christmas and new years break on a once in a generation, something we havent seen in 30 years tax reform proposal that they pushed for, that he put all his political muscle and capital into achieving. You have to wonder why hes taking attention away from that win. Why arent they riding that win into a clear set of goals for you know, well form reform, whatever you want to say. They just are not riding that win. You see some of it. You see that paul ryan does want to now say weve reformed the tax system, lets move on to welfare entitlement reform. You see Mitch Mcconnell trying to voice something that could have unity. There is too much at stake to keep moving forward. We need to address dreamers, chip, theres the surveillance law that is hanging over. The entire government needs to be funded on a permanent basis. They balance their work off that. Its really remarkable, Childrens Health insurance cant be agreed upon. But orrin hatch retiring after 40 years and all the these subjeks of mitt romney, will he run there. It looked like he changed his twitter location to utah today. Mitt romney won utah in 2012 with 71 . President trump won utah with 46 in 2016. How will that set up for this president . Romney has not only been a harsh critic of this president , but he is far more popular in utah than the president. Ive been speaking to Party Leaders on both sides and asking them, what is your strategy for 2018 . Are you going to try to define the party for republicans around prt President Trump . Are you going to move back and gain some of these voters and the same for democrats. Are you looking for more progressive candidates or are you going to try to take up that space in the middle. When we look at mitt romney he fulfills what my sources have been telling me. They want to run the right candidate for the state. Utah republicans do look like theyre hungering for a candidate like mitt romney. But alabama, President Trump won that state by an even greater margin than romney in 2012. Evan mcmullen took a good chunk of the Republican Voters there but it is just a massive gap between the two of them there. Im not sure its clear that romney would return to being this critic of trump that some suggest, but we shall see. Hes got to run first. Thanks for being here. Thank you both. If the cold werent enough, snow making its way up the east coast now. How much is in store and why are temperatures actually going down for the weekend . Hey, need fast heartburn relief . Try cool mint zantac. It releases a cooling sensation in your mouth and throat. Zantac works in as little as 30 minutes. Nexium can take 24 hours. Try cool mint zantac.

In pensacola, florida, believer it or not, frigid temps turning this foun totain into an ice sculpture. Even colder of course in the northeast. Niagra falls mostly one big beautiful icicle this morning. For the rest of the east the extreme cold will linger. Much of the addition of snow moves up the east coast. Were joined live from the Weather Center in atlanta where yes, it is colder in atlanta than it is in anchorage, alaska. Good morning to you. Isnt that something . Its colder in places like florida than it is in anchorage. We are upside down and weve got radar going on. Thunderstorms across south florida and pink rain. That is no good across the panhandle of florida. Thats indicating ice or a mix and that is going to be accumulating here. That is why we have winter storm warnings for north florida that are in effect for today and that winter storm warning of course ex tends across the south western u. S. Places like charleston well be seeing accumulating snowfall. I wouldnt be surprised if we get pictures of snow on the beach. Thats going to be something and then of course a big blizzard on the way for new england. This will bring heavy know into maine, 60 to 70 mile an hour winds. Thats going to combine with heavy snow to make for treacherous travel. 2 to 4 inches across the south and upwards of a foot of snowfall. Philly i think will be fine. New york city 3 to 6 inches of snow and 9 to 12 inches in boston and i ts not going to go anywhere because it is going to be mighty cold heading into the weekend. Another blast of arctic air, just what you want to hear after a snow event, but it does get a little better. Milder by monday. This is going to be below normal and its painfully so. Then another arctic blast coming in through the middle part of the week so it is not going to be feeling good at all. Forecast there you see new york well go from the balmy upper 20s to teens. So dont get too used to it. The arctic freeze is coming right back. Should be a lovely weekend.
