The storms going to go from there and hit the northeast the boston area expected to get pounded again when the storm reaches that part of the country. Parts of massachusetts and connecticut are still digging out from the blizzard that hit just a few days ago. Senior meteorologist janice dean is in the fox weather center. Here we go again, but this is on top of so much snow already. Yeah, for new england they could get the snowiest week on record for boston, if we get over a foot of snow, which is quite incredible. Look at the snowfall amounts weve already received just within the last six to 12 hours. This is illinois around the chicago area. So over 15 inches and we still have this storm in effect. We have blizzard warnings in and around the chicago area where could feel those winds in excess of 40 Miles Per Hour for a period of hours. Visibility is next to nothing. People are urged to stay off the roadways. You can see that snow continuing to fly across portions of Northern Illinois indiana much of michigan, also ohio in towards pennsylvania. There is your blizzard warning for the chicago area until midnight tonight. People are urged not to travel, and then its going to move into the northeast. D. C. , philadelphia its going to be mainly a cold rain for you. New york, youre going to hover around rain, freezing rain ice and snow. So lets take a look at it as we head into the overnight hours. Right in the new york area and long island hovering here. We could see a period of heavy snow and then ice on the morning commute, harris. Thats what im concerned with. North of that a snow event for friends in new england yet again over a foot of snow is expected as we get into the monday area. So theres your forecast snowfall. 3. 5 inches for the new york area. But again concerned about icing tomorrow morning around 6 00 a. M. , 8 00 a. M. , the rush hour commute. North of this area thats where well see the bullseye of snow. Boston could get over a foot of snow and that could be their wintryiest week in toefrms snowfall. Then it will get cold so any of the moisture still sitting across the northeast, parts of the midwest, we could have a flash freeze. Thats what im concerned with, very, very cold air in place for the next several days. So that snow is not going anywhere across new england. Back to you. A flash freeze. And this is setting up just like you said it would about a week ago. You said once you have one of those big blizzard systems come through, it kind of perforates the system and more storms can fall into that trough it creates. I remember you talking about that. By the way, thousands of Power Outages to report in the state of illinois. Well keep a watch for it. Janice, thank you very much. Lets turn to growing questions over the United States response to the rising terror threats across the middle east, particularly with the Islamic State also known as isis. A growing chorus of lawmakers now questioning whether president obamas current strategy, which relies primarily on air strikes by other countries, is really enough. I think many of those in the arab nations are looking to us that we could work with and saying, can we count on them . Will they stick with their word . I think anywhere and everywhere, we have to go beyond just aggressive air strikes. We have to look at other surgical methods and ultimate he prepared to put boots on the ground if thats what it takes. Were hearing there from wisconsin Governor Scott walker. Hes certainly not the only one hinting that Ground Troops may be needed. Outgoing secretary of defense chuck hagel said this weekend it might be necessary to send noncombat American Forces to help out the Iraqi Military on the front lines against isis. I thought in part we were already doing that. Peter doocy is live in washington. Republicans say they have a plan. They say they know what the president should be pushing for. What is it . You just heard it boots on the ground in the parts of iraq and syria now controlled by brutal Islamic State militants. Theres got to be some Regional Force formed with an american component somewhere around 10,000 i think american soldiers to allow with air bombings in the region and go into syria and take back territory from isil. Thats what will make it stop. Hes backed up by two former secretaries of defense. Hagel, who had his goingaway party just a few days ago, and who says the forward deployment of some american troops could help improve the accuracy of air strikes against isis and then theres robert gates, who says the president is being ambitious in the fight against isis aboutbut that his goals are unrealistic based on the tools hes given forces in the area. There isnt just an argument on the other side of this, its the fact that for the longest time president obama had said openly this is not a road wed go down. I know the white house has maybe massaged that language a little bit. What is the argument now . Basically harris, as you know, there are war weary members of congress who are strongly resisting these calls to send american troops to fight isis up close, and this is why. Invasionary force of 10,000 americans to plunge them into the chaos and carnage of syria at this point would be a serious mistake in my view. Lets work to build and support this coalition of indigenous efforts in the region to brild stability. And there is continued talk this weekend about the administrations refusal to characterize the enemy in isiscontrolled territory as islamic militants. The white house keeps insistsing that not all terrorists are muslims so thats not a fair generalization. Senator iyad, says it is time for the white house to cut it out with the political correctness. Well have other military experts who say you have to identify the enemy in order to put best the strategy to fight them. Peter doocy, thank you very much. Increased security in japan in the wake of a apparent beheading of a japanese journalist. They posted this video online. Its raising concerns about another hostage, a jordanian pilot captured in syria. Conor powell has more from our middle east newsroom. This latest isis video is still being authenticated, but already japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe is calling goatos death a heinous act. In japan has reacted with outrage and anger at the execution of the renowned journalist. Across the country supporters paying tribute to goto. One japanese minister saying isis can never be forgiven for what theyve done. In the roughly oneminutelong video a terrorist with an english accent appears to behead goto. Originally they demanded 200 million to free him. But in recent days they tried to swap him with a militant who is being held for an al Al Qaedalinked militant seemed to emerge. That deal fell apart thursday when isis failed to provide proof of life for ka says ba. Isis continues to hold several other hostages including at least one american and theres a real concern that this latest isis execution video wont be the last. Harris .

Now it appears this is all escalating at an Important Railroad link.

New York City FireOfficials Say it might take a week or even two or even three weeks to finally put out a fire burning in a brooklyn warehouse. Seven alarms and it started yesterday morning. Since then nearly 300 firefighters have been fighting the flames dense smoke and frigid temperatures. No serious injuries reported so far, and that is a great thing. But the smoke is severe. So much so that some of it is drifting across the river into manhattan. Health officials are advising nearby people to stay indoors. The warehouse contains stacks of paper. Wow, so its got plenty of fuel to burn. Investigators are still not sure exactly what started it. Now to the nations oil industry. Beef been weve been watching the plunging oil prices worldwide now the Steelworkers Union began a strike at nine facilities today. Its the largest walkout by oil workers since the early 1980s. While so far the strikes impact is pretty limited, a full walkout of those workers would threaten to disrupt as much as twothirds of the u. S. Fuel production. Thats complicated because prices are finally low for gasoline. Fox news Senior Business correspondent Brenda Buttner has more. Harris, strike. American oil workers fired up for the first largescale walkout in a quarter century as the united Steelworkers Union fails to reach an agreement with shell, which represents Oil Companies. This no deal is a big deal. It represents workers at 200 oil refinery chemical plants, pipelines and terminals. A full walkout could mean trouble for as much as twothirds of u. S. Fuel production. The union want months are pay and stronger rules on worker fatigue and other things more jobs, too. So as is often the case, politics probably plays here too. The Keystone Pipeline will likely not be built any time soon. What the unions are calling for is more jobs and more job security. So when the house passed Keystone Pipeline and the Senate PassedKeystone Pipeline in a bipartisan way and the president issues a veto threat, thats what these folks are upset about. Theyre upset with an administration that doesnt recognize that more energy and more jobs for this country are good things. The union doesnt have as much leverage as it did now that oil prices have plunged 5 since june fueled by a supply surge worldwide in part because of the biggest ever domestic oil boom. But the last walkout in 1980 lasted three months. Unless this walkout sputters out soon, this could mean a little pain for you at the pump if it sends oil prices higher, gas could go up as well. Harris, back to you. Brenda, thank you so much. You heard brenda talking politics there. The political insiders will join me and well talk a little bit about this. The timing is interesting because the white house has just been touting those lower gas prices as relief for the middle class. So the timing of this is really interesting. Well chat about it.
