>> axelrod: tonight: bone-chilling. some of the coldest temperatures in decades are in the forecast. we'll show where the freeze is deepest. and jeff pegues explains why new rules for pilots are making matters worse for travelers stranded by the snow. what if it's this cold at next month's open-air superbowl in new jersey? terreln wi an update on the latest plans. pope francis on the line. mark phillips tells us about the order of nuns that got a voice mail from the pope. and lights, camera, action. carter evans on the stunning videos that give new meaning to "sunset boulevard." captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news." >> axelrod: good evening. i'm jim axelrod.

it's called "the polar vortex". which is the scientific term meteorologists use to explain the historic cold gripping a large section of the midwest right now. the rest of us just say it's stunningly cold. the polar vortex is a counterclockwise rotation of dense arctic air that's built up over the north pole. and is then pushed south by the upper jetstream. it is producing wind chills that tomorrow night could have some sections of that region feeling like 60 below zero according to the national weather service. wisconsin will see its coldest weather in 18 years. in des moines, iowa, they have closed an ice skating rink because it was too cold. and in minnesota they've already canceled school statewide for monday. that's where kate raddatz of our cbs station w.c.c.o. picks up the story. >> reporter: high winds overnight made minus-five feel like minus-29 as ice and snow closed down i-29 in fargo. frigid temperatures here in

minnesota which can cause frostbite in less than five minutes led the governor to close schools statewide, which hasn't been done in more than 20 years. brenda cosealius is the state's education commissioner. >> we've been monitoring it very closely over the past week, looking at this pattern, the significant wind-chills and public safety for the children going out and not being clothed appropriately and waiting on bus stops and that sort of thing. you just can't predict. >> in downtown des moines, ice skaters were on the ice rink one last time, before the ice rink closes because of the extreme cold. id last night, ice piled up on this train from new york to washington, still digging out from friday's blizzard over 200 volunteers helped elderly residents who were still stuck in their homes after over a foot of snow fell in boston. scott hoffer is a volunteer with the snow crew. >> it's nice to know they can get out of their house if they need to.

>> reporter: jim, in the next couple of hours the temperature is going to drop down to 0° here in minneapolis. and will stay below zero for 90 consecutive hours. >> axelrod: kate raditz of w.c.c.o., thank you. let's bring in meteorologist chris schaffer who is also with w.c.c.o. chris, we heard a report, 90 hours of frigid cold. how long will this frigid danger zone expand? >> jim, we'll have to endure this for three days. check all these temperatures. on monday, much of the midwest will feel like the planet hoth. many of these areas, nine below in chicago and the subzero reaches as far south as st. louis. >> axelrod: but it's not just the upper midwest. >> no, this polar express is going to barrel through the east and southeast, i think there will be freeze warnings as far south as florida and probably some excited kids in parts of alabama and georgia making snow angels and snowmen with one to three inches of snow.

>> axelrod: snow in alabama, this is uncommon. chris shaffer, thank you. the weather would've made a mess of things anyway on a major travel weekend with people coming home from holiday trips. but new rules that take effect today, limiting pilot hours in the air, are creating ripple effect chaos around the country for passengers who are trying to re-book flights. look at this map from flightaware.com. anywhere you see red. that's an airport designated as "miserable". and it's only going to get worse jeff pegues has more: >>reporter: at regean nation airport passengers were working hard to get home. linda barone lives in long island, new york. >> i was supposed to leave on thursday. >>reporter: airlines are trying to get back on schedule after several days of storm-related cancellations and delays. but the new rules governing pilot rest brakes are throwing a wrench into the already higher travel weekend. new f.a.a. rules limit pilot's flying time to eight or nine

hours, depending on when they start their shifts. also, a ten hour minimum rest period prior to flight duty. during that time, the pilot must have eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. the new rules are already impacting some flights. the spokesman for jetblue says weather disruptions are a factor, but: jetblue says weather is a the industry has had two years to prepare for the rule change. some have hired new pilots to fill scheduling conflicts. two airlines have developed other scheduling software. this weekend, some airlines are bringing in more employees and attempting to warn passengers about canceled flights as soon as possible. it was the crash of colgan air 3407 in bufallo in 2009 that renewed debate regarding rule change. investigators determined fatigue was a factor in that crash. jetblue officials support the changes because they are safety- driven. still, airlines are having to adjust during one of the most

challenging travel periods of the year. mark rosenberg is a cbs news consultant and former chairman of the national transportation and safety board. >> we need need to make sure our pilots are fit for duty and not fatigued. that's what we're going to be doing with these new rules and regulations. >> reporter: some experts say these new rules will cost the airline industry $300 million. jim, this is some of the most sweeping changes for pilot regulations in 50 years. >> axelrod: jeff, thank you. airplane manufacturer boeing says it will now keep thousands of jobs in the seattle area after a tight union vote barely went it's way. but as don daylor tells us, some are accusing boeing of using fear as a tactic to win painful concessions. >> reporter: by the narrowest of margins, 51%, the machinist union voted to accept an eight year contract with boeing. in return for a $15,000 signing bonus, workers reluctantly agreed to give up their valuable

pensions and switch to a 401k type retirement plan in two years. some employees are bitter, saying boeing is squeezing its workers even when the company is flush with profits. >> i feel a lot of our people were scared, because of what they've been told, over and over and over during christmas break. and when you have a gun to your head eventually you're going to give in and say, "okay, i give." >>reporter: the gun he's referring to was boeing's threat to move out of washington state. after the union originally rejected the contract in november, boeing began wooing 22 other states. there was fierce competition to land the new plant and its thousands of jobs. aviation industry analyst scott hamilton says this was a negotiating tactic only a company as big as boeing could wield. >> it means that you have upwards of 27,000 direct and indirect jobs that will stay here through the next decade and the decade beyond that. >> reporter: with the yes vote the union's 32,000 members are

guaranteed at least a decade of work on the company's new wide- body jet, the triple-7. >> it's a tough thing for the workers to give back anything. my view is it's better to have 80% of something than 100% of nothing. >> reporter: boeing says other seattle businesses, from grocery stores to car dealerships, will also benefit from those jobs staying in the area. don dahler, cbs news, new york. >> axelrod: in an iraqi city where some of the fiercest fighting took place in the early years of the iraq war, government forces tonight are losing ground in a battle with al-qaida linked forces in fallujah. site of a hard-won u.s. victory during the iraq war. the insurgents have seized control of the main highway into the city, and are firing on government units trying to re- enter the city. pope francis hasn't been on his new job even a year, yet he has been moving catholics and non-catholics alike, worldwide. mark phillips reports on how he's winning folks over through a series of gestures great and small:

>>reporter: the crowds pope francis has drawn to the vatican over this holiday season have provided more evidence that this people's pope with the common touch has touched a chord with catholics. and there's been more of that common touch lately. the pope, famous for picking up the phone and cold-calling catholics out of the blue, has done it again. this time he called an order of nuns in a convent in spain to wish them happy new year. but when nobody answered an apparently frustrated pontif left a message. what are the nuns doing that they can't answer the phone? the pope asked. what were the nuns doing so that they missed a call from the boss? they were praying, they said. communication with the heavens is the priority, not staffing the switchboard. apparently the pope had tried to reach them several times and finally did get through later. pope francis, who lives a simple life and talks of tolerance and

church dedicated to the poor has brought the people back. and now the vatican has released the numbers to prove it. according to the church's count, pope francis has more than tripled the attendance at the major papal appearances compared to his predecessor. more than six and a half million people came out to see him at church functions since his election last march, the vatican says. not all of them, presumably, expecting a personal phone call. mark phillips, cbs news, london. >> axelrod: don everly said today, "i loved my brother very much". phil everly, the younger of the two brothers who helped create modern rock and roll, died last night at the age of 74. while the ever;y brothers didn't always get along so well their musical harmony was undeniable. here is anthony mason. phil everly was a teenager when he and his older brother don made their network television debut.
