but first, the dangerous polar vortex that is causing temperatures to plunge across much of the country. tens of millions of americans will see some of the coldest conditions in decades. that's right. windchill advisories and warnings stretch across 17 states from montana to new england. some areas could see feels-like temperatures of 50 degrees below zero. in the south, hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses remain without power following three days of ice, sleet, and snow. at least 11 deaths are being blamed on icy road conditions. cbs's lilia luciano is going to start us off tonight from a very cold minneapolis. good evening, lilia. >> reporter: good evening, norah. that's right. minneapolis is bracing for a frigid freeze tonight. the windchill is going to make it feel like 25 degrees below zero. this as the south finally begins to warm up. tonight, the south is struggling to recover from an epic ice storm. in west memphis, arkansas, a

let's go now to that breaking news because pentagon officials are telling cbs news tonight they are monitoring a suspected chinese spy balloon that's been flying at high altitude over the u.s. and this comes just as secretary of state antony blinken is set to meet with chinese president xi jinping next week. cbs's david martin is following this development story at the pentagon. good evening, david. so where was this found? >> reporter: well, on wednesday the spy balloon was over montana, which is where some of the silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles are located. president biden initially wanted to shoot it down, and jet fighters scrambled to be in position. but the pentagon ultimately recommended against it because of the danger falling debris might pose to people on the ground. so the balloon remains over the u.s., flying higher than a commercial airliner but lower than a satellite, conducting surveillance of what an official

called sensitive sites. this official added, this has happened before but never for this long. norah. >> well, a dramatic escalation. david martin with that new reporting. thank you so much. turning now to the war in ukraine, the world took notice today as vladimir putin used a speech celebrating the anniversary of a world war ii victory. he issued new threats to america's allies, saying a modern war with russia will be completely different. we have more now from cbs's debora patta in ukraine. >> reporter: vladimir putin invoking the memory of victory over nazi germany and stalingrad 80 years ago to justify his punishing war against ukraine today. this time it was kramatorsk in the line of fire. missiles tore through a residential area. rescuers once again combing the rubble for survivors.

"russia is preparing to take revenge," warned president zelenskyy. "not only against ukraine but against europe and the free world." the country is now bracing itself for a major new offensive that could rival the start of the war. and that offensive, warns ukraine's defense minister, could begin around 24 february, norah, which marks one year

that slow thaw is helping to improve conditions on the highways around the region as well, making travel easier. >> reporter: schools will reopen tomorrow, and at dallas-fort worth international airport, only 28% of flights were canceled today compared to 75% the day before. as the south melts, the north braces for a blast. >> today it is going to be just brutally cold. >> reporter: temperatures are expected to plunge below zero in new england. windchills could be minus 50 in new hampshire and maine by saturday, the coldest in decades. the city of boston has already declared a cold emergency for the weekend, and warming centers will be open in at least five states. the extreme temperatures could cause frost quakes, harmless mini earthquakes that can trigger loud booms when underground ice expands, adding pressure to soil and bedrock. the national weather service warns frostbite could take under

ten minutes to set in, and the cdc recommends using the avoid, spot, treat method. make sure body parts are covered with dry, warm clothing. look for signs like numbness and seek medical attention as soon as possible if that is necessary. norah. >> lilia luciano, thank you for your reporting. well, this blast of arctic air is going to break records in cities across the northeast, so let's bring in meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel. good evening, chris. >> good evening, norah. conditions are slowly improving across the southern plains. chance for rain will remain into the evening and overnight hours. maybe a little bit of an icy mix. but by tomorrow morning, a refreeze could make conditions dangerous once again for morning travel. but warming back up in the afternoon. extremely cold temperatures now expected in the northeast. blizzard conditions and dangerous windchills. record cold can be expected this

nearby. for those living through this war, the horror has not let up for nearly a year. along a front line that stretches for hundreds of miles, ukrainian troops are defending against a relentless barrage of artillery. a pressure point, the eastern city of bakhmut where russia is trying to smash through ukrainian resistance. and in kharkiv and chernobyl, ukrainian forces conducted tank and howitzer drills, readying for a renewed onslaught as the kremlin tries to reshape the battlefield. "russia is preparing to take revenge," warned president zelenskyy, "not only against ukraine but against europe and the free world." the country is now bracing itself for a major new offensive that could rival the start of the war. and that offensive, warns ukraine's defense minister, could begin around 24 february,

president biden initially wanted to shoot it down, and jet fighters scrambled to be in position. but the pentagon ultimately recommended against it because of the danger falling debris might pose to people on the ground. so the balloon remains over the u.s., flying higher than a commercial airliner but lower than a satellite, conducting surveillance of what an official called sensitive sites. this official added, this has happened before but never for this long. norah. >> well, a dramatic escalation. david martin with that new reporting. thank you so much. let's turn now to the murder trial of former south carolina attorney alex murdaugh. it took a dramatic turn in court today when the judge ruled that evidence of a possible motive could be introduced by prosecutors.macflane is at the courthouse. eporter: just hours before e murder of his wife, maggie, dh

llea about nearly $800,000 that he was supposed to have handed over from the settlement of a case. >> i told him that i had reason to believe that he had received the funds himself and that i needed proof that he had not. >> reporter: today at the murder trial of the former prominent charleston, south carolina area attorney, the chief financial officer of alex murdaugh's firm testified they suspected murdaugh kept the money. >> we made him resign. >> reporter: but the jury didn't hear this revelation, at least not yet. it was the judge who listened before deciding whether to allow this confrontation about missing money to be part of the prosecution's case. in court filings, prosecutors indicated they'd argue murdaugh killed his wife and his son to distract from or mask financial crimes that were about to be revealed. earlier this week, in front of the jury, a family friend identified alex murdaugh's voice in a video recorded by murdaugh's son minutes before he and his mother were killed.

foreign affairs committee, citing her past comments that many viewed as anti-semitic. critics say it was all about revenge. cbs's nikole killion is on capitol hill. >> my voice will get louder and stronger. >> reporter: in a stinging rebuke on the house floor -- >> i am muslim. i'm anigrantand interesty, froaa is anyone surprised that i am being targeted? >> ilhan omar chastised republicans who voted along party lines to oust her from the foreign affairs committee. >> the 9-year-old me would be disappointed if i didn't talk about the victims of conflict. i didn't come to congress to be silent. i came to congress to be their voice. >> reporter: republicans pointed to omar's statements widely condemned as anti-semitic, bashing congressional support of israel as grounds for her removal. >> this is not about silencing anyone. words matter.

rhetoric matters. >> reporter: democrats argue the move was political revenge after they booted conservatives marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar in the last congress for treatening statements. but now they sit on high-profile committees. >> i had a member of the republican caucus threaten my life, and you all and the republican caucus rewarded him. >> reporter: speaker kevin mccarthy says it wasn't tit for tat. >> if it was tit for tat, we would have picked people, took them off all committees, and said nothing about it. >> the gentlewoman is no lodnge recognized. squad member has apologized for her remarks. congressman greg meeks is the ranking member on house foreign affairs. >> i don't agree with everything she says. there's a lot of people in congress i don't agree with, but that should not be grounds of removing her from the committee. >> reporter: congresswoman omar can appeal her removal. one of the republicans who voted against her was new york congressman george santos, who just this week recused himself from two committees since he's

under several investigations, although some lawmakers are still calling for his resignation. norah. >> nikole killion with those new developments. thank you. well, tonight a northern new jersey community is shaken by the deadly shooting of a 30-year-old councilwoman. police in sayreville say eunice dwumfour was found dead in her car with multiple gunshot wounds. her car had apparently rolled down a hill before crashing into two parked cars. dwumfour was a single mother and republican and was serving her first term on the borough council. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. i'm not a doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the street, talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? i think so. how do you know? you're driving a car?
