Jetblue said there were no passengers injured in all this. A tough day at logan. At one point, they had to close the airport down, because of the zero visibility. No takeoffs or landings for about an hour or so. It was the first White Christmas here in boston in nearly 14 years. A White Christmas for much of the countrys northern section, from the northwest to the northeast, feet of snow out west and inches of snow here in the flights delayed a about 100 canceled.

And sure enough, this morning, another tweet from the president. Essentially declaring victory for having repealed the individual mandate in president obamas Health Care Law in the tax cut bill that just passed. The obamacare law still stands. The president says there could be a bipartisan fix in the future. That adds to a laundry list of things that the white house and congress have to work on, including infrastructure and immigration and all of this taking place in the background of the russia investigation. The president targeted a few senior fbi officials over the weekend. Thats the kind of thing that could give this white house headaches going into 2018. Craig . Garrett haake for us in florida.

Absolutely. The folks at Consumer World do a survey of returns to find out which policies have changed. Two biggies. Macys cut their return window from a full year to half a year. That should be plenty of time. It makes difference for people like me. I sit around thinking, i have a year. This is good to know. Its good to know. Some items its quicker, like apple products and highend clothing. Be careful of that. Best buy added a 15 restocking fee on highend cameras, drones and big appliances like ovens and fridges and things like that. It makes sense. If we look at the big picture, lets look at the general guidelines for holiday returns. Generally, you do not have to rush. You shouldnt wait as long as possible. Youre going to get about 15 days on average. But some stores start that 15day clock today. Some dont start it until the 1st of january. Different items have different rules. Stores have sliced and diced theirpolicies. The highend items, they want them back quicker to clear them out again. Almost every big retailer has their policy on their website. Look at it before you go so youre not surprised. Bring receipts with you. Theres a lot of things you can buy at multiple stores and stores want to know, you actually got it there. If you dont have the receipt, ask your mom, ask aunt seuuzy. They want you to get the full value. Youre not getting cash. Youre going to get a gift card or a credit. Can we talk about sales, now . If i return something, i end up shopping because of the big red signs. Youre not alone. After christmas, we want to shop. And we want to shop for us. Look at that. 42 . Take advantage.

Today, im not just eat healthy. I have to do my best. Over to dylan for a check of the weather. Lets looky. Its all about the cold. We have bitter cold with windchill warnings across the northern plains. Windchills could reach 45 below zero. We have the arctic air pouring down from the north. Looking at some of our current temperatures. We have them below zero in fargo, at 16 below. But the windchill is 35 below. 3 below in chicago. It feels like 19 degrees below zero. Tomorrow morning, not much better. 29 degrees below zero at International Falls tomorrow morning. Thats the actual air temperature. 5 in parts in binghamton, new york, where it will feel like its 6 degrees below zero. And morning lows will be in the ngle sidi a good Tuesday Morning to you.
