Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Kim. Today is Thursday, January 22nd, 2026. And we begin with

the most extreme winter storm of the season so far honing in on the eastern U.S. Damaging ice

and heavy snow are expected, as well as a big blast of Arctic air bringing with it the coldest

temperatures to date. The worst of the weather

is expected to spread snow, sleet, and freezing rain from the southern Rockies and Plain

States to the mid-south starting tomorrow. The National Weather Service placed much of Oklahoma

as well as parts of Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana under winter storm watches and said more

advisories, watches, and warnings are likely over the next day or two. By this weekend,

the deep freeze will grip the northeast, with temperatures up to 30 degrees below normal for this

time of year. The global panic over Greenland may be over.

Yesterday, President Trump said he and NATO's Secretary General reached the framework of a future deal that involves the entire Arctic region.

Details are few so far, but he reversed course on taxing nations that disagreed with his plans.

The news came as a relief to U.S. allies in Europe and to investors on Wall Street.

Stock surged on the announcement, making up almost all the ground they lost the day before.

Taylor Swift is oh so close to smashing another record.

The 36-year-old megastar is being inducted into

the songwriter's Hall of Fame, making her the second youngest member in history to earn the honor.

According to Billboard, Stevie Wonder was the youngest at age 32 in 1983. Taylor submitted the

song's All Too Well, 10-minute version, Blank Space, Anti-Hero, Love Story,

and the Last Great American Dynasty for her successful entry. The Hall of Fame induction

ceremony is set for June 11th at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. Close to the time

she's expected to tie the knot with her fiancé, Travis Kelsey.
