"Shut it down: Many businesses will close around the country as Americans protest ICE and President Trump's immigration crackdown. ( WUSA9) They may not be the only entities to close: The US government will run out of money at midnight tonight if Congress can't pass a spending deal.

Very cold, windy conditions will bring a daytime high near 21 that wind can lower to about -2, and an overnight low near 7 with wind chills near -5. Regional closings and delays are in effect as the area digs out from last weekend's storm. This weekend's sports: Wizards vs. Lakers Friday and Sacramento Sunday; Capitals vs. Carolina Saturday.
