Pennsylvanias i78 is back open after this massive pileup saturday killing three and sending dozens to the hospital. That blast of arctic air sending temperatures plunging to lows not seen in years. It feels like a razor. Reporter new york city hitting minus 1 degree. The coldest day in new york city in 22 years. Its like whipping you in the back of the head. It hurts. I dont like it. Its like being on a roller reporter boston even colder, 9 below but feeling like minus 36. For those braving the elements, it was brutal. 150 firefighters battling this fire for hours in philadelphia. The water meant for the flames turning to ice encasing this car. In New Hampshire, 40 people had to be rescued from a mountain tram. The temperature there . Zero. A messy start to the week, but the good news is this storm is bringing with it relief from this bitter cold. Phillip mena, abc news, new york. Boy, he looks cold. Yeah, he does. That break phillip mentioned comes after snow, rain and ice. Following a polar vortex so powerful you can see how the cold clear air blew all the clouds to sea in this picture that was tweeted out from astronaut scott kelly in space at the station up there. Scott said, it even looks cold from up here. Accuweathers Paul Williams is tracking all of this for us. Paul . I appreciate that, kendis, reena. What we have here, ladies and going to turn ugly and stay that way. Low pressure system will ride its way right into the northeast and its going to start off as just snow but its going to turn ugly as a wintry mix will takeover all the way back towards the Tennessee Valley region with a mix of freezing rain as well as sleet. This storms not going to let up on monday and its going to bring significant icing down towards the deep south. Ugly, like i said, kendis, reena. Thank you, paul. And turning now to the death of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia. The body is believed to have arrived in virginia hours ago is, flown back from el paso on a private plane. Scalia died of Natural Causes at a ranch in west texas while on a quail hunting trip. He was found dead in his room after missing breakfast and lunch. He was totally peaceful. He was a man who went to sleep a texas official said scalias doctor in washington told her he had been ill and came to his office both wednesday and thursday before the trip. This morning, Justice Scalia is being remembered as a brilliant legal mind with an incomparable sense of humor. A larger than life figure on the bench and off. And there are many fond memories from his political friends and foes alike. Abcs terry moran takes a look at his legacy. Reporter for decades, jus Antonin Scalia led the charge to take constitutional law back, back he would say to its original meaning. The constitution is not meant to facilitate change. It is meant to impede change. To make it difficult to change. Reporter on that score, perhaps scalias greatest triumph, his ruling in 2008 that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms where he brushed aside concerns about gun violence in modern america. It is not the role of this court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct he wrote. Another victory, bush versus gore. The 2000 case that awarded and divided the country i and my court owe no apology whatever for bush versus gore. We did the right thing so there. Reporter in dissent he was biting, caustic, clear. When the court upheld obamacare for the second time last year, scalia sneered, we should start calling this law scotus care and in oral argument, lawyers feared his pointed questions as when he challenged the idea that the court could create a right to gay marriage after 200 years of laws banning it. When did it become unconstitutional to exclude homosexual couples from marriage . When did the law become this . Reporter scalia loved a good argument but he made friends across the political and judicial spectrum most famously with liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We agree on a whole lot of stuff. Ruth is really bad only on the knee jerk stuff. Leaves the court shorthanded and sharply divided 44 on huge issues like affirmative action and president obamas Climate Change policies. The stakes could not be higher specially since one of those four conservatives Justice Anthony kennedy swings to the liberal side unpredictably. Terry moran, abc news, mexico city. Thank you so much, terry. The political battle over the next Supreme Court justice began not long after scalias death. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell said the senate should not vote on the nomination till after the president ial election but president obama made it clear he intends to announce a nominee and thats become an issue on the campaign trail. This next election needs to be a referendum on the court. We should not allow a lame duck president to essentially capture the Supreme Court in the waning months of his presidency. It is outrageous that republicans in the senate and on the campaign trail have already that president obama nominates. And said to be on the short list to replace scalia, merrick garland, chief judge of the d. C. Circuit court of appeals, Circuit Court judge jane kelly, circuit judge sri srinavasan and attorney general loretta lynch. Eliot spitzer, the former governor is of new york is under investigation for assault. Sources say a 25yearold woman claims that spitzer tried to choke her at the plaza hotel in manhattan. The pair apparently had a romantic relationship for two years before she tried to break it off. Spitzer resigned in 2008 after being involved in a prostitution scandal. Police in britain are investigating a laser strike on a Virgin Atlantic flight that forced a flight to return to london. The plane was heading for new york. The pilot said the laser strike happened about seven miles from heathrow airport. The flight continued till it was just west of ireland. When it turned around and landed safely back in london. Virgin says one of the pilots apparently linked to the laser strike. Passengers were put up for the night and will fly to new york today. New numbers show the skies in a bit safer in 2015. 136 people died in Airline Accidents last year, far less than 600 killed the year before but 374 people were killed in crashes of germanwings and russian metrojet planes last year. Those where is deliberate acts. Pope francis is celebrating mexicos indians today and will celebrate an open air masses in chiapas in three native languages. Yesterday onlookers cheered as pope francis passed by in a small white hard top fiat rather than an open air popemobile. President obama is in Southern California this morning for a meeting of asian nations, the first time the u. S.

Theres no word on what caused new questions are being raised about a feature on one of the most popular social media apps and whether it led to a fatal crash.

One of her friends had told me that she was snapchatting throughout the night. In the car they were showing their speed, how fast they were drive ag, what they were doing. Reporter he says his niece was using a special filter on records, their speed. A popular trend he believes encourages people to drive fast and share with friends online. The fact that that part of the app is on there seems irresponsible at some point. If that happened, it helped to kill my daughter.

Gias family, now warning others. Im not blaming this for the death of my niece, but i hope somebody gets something out of it and puts it down while theyre in the car.

Agdaybrought to you by the dependable, long lasting chevy silverado. Good morning im clinton griffiths. As farm income declines, machinery purchases are going along for the bumpy ride. And on capitol hill, an effort to give farmers tax relief on equipment. A piece of legislation was introduced last week to change the tax code as it pertains to the depreciation schedule for Farm Equipment. Congressman ralph machinery and equipment bill. It would shorten the depreciation schedule from seven to five years. Abraham says the shorter schedule would allow farmers to deduct the costs of new investments in Farm Equipment over a shorter period of time. From used equipment to new. Equipment makers are preparing for a slow sales season. With retreating farm incomes, many farmers seem less willing to make those big buys. Agdays betsy jibben has details from the National Farm machinery show. Farmers at the National Farm machinery show are looking at equipment, but buying may be another story. We have a lot of good equipment, well just add another year on it. Thats partly due to volitality in the markets, cheaper commodities and decreased net farm income.

Theyre hoping to find out from the manufacturers from what
