Good evening. Im elaine quijano. Winter is still over a month away, but hundreds of cold records are about to be shattered. A new blast of argument tick air is defending from the great lakes to the gulf coast. It could be the coldest day on record in minneapolis and chicago. Some 250 Million People could be affected. Temperatures could be up to 30 degrees below normal. Cbs news climate and weather contributor Jeff Berardelli is here with more on the big chill. Jeff, this sounds serious.

They seem to have found the right landing spot on a couple of decisions. There are a couple of pieces i would take issue with that will articulate that in coming days. Iser one issue reported that it doesnt preempt states from doing their own thing. Commissioner orielly as i read the piece, it is not a proactive preemption structure. It still allows challenges to states where the item would be in conflict with our rules. It will lead to more statebystate challenges, casebycase challenges, than the overall, overarching one i was hoping for. Because what you are going to see is, a number of states have already acted in doing certain things i disagree with, you will see others jump in, and having 50 different states pull us in different directions, some with Net Neutrality one way, some with Net Neutrality another way, is not what the structure should be. Not interstate commerce. Its why we have an interstate commerce clause, and it is not something they have expertise in. Structure,nitio
