right now are temperatures are above freezing so that is a little bit deceptive. you will drop the temperature down to the dew point which is where we start getting this one tree cocktail freezing rain and it freezes on cold servicessurfaces. there are 22 states under advisories'. there are winter weather advisories which have been issued in the northern counties and of course if you're traveling east later friday or saturday that is in for quite a blizzard here is how things will on fults we expect the moisture to hang on the clouds this evening we expect freezing rain by morning, that's what the pink is. by lunch is over to liquid

and it rains into the evening rush-hour and then there is a switchover to snow after about five, six or 7:00 tomorrow evening and it will snow for four hours. >> a budget deficit for the post office, no more mail on saturday starting this summer. >> opinions may have an opinion about losing their saturday delivery service so do 80,000 postal carriers who fear losing their jobs, they think this is the beginning of the end and some members of congress are as outraged as well they say that

the postmaster general cannot pull the plug on programs for saturdays, only congress can. the national association of letter carriers is fighting back and calling the postmaster general to step down, he told the nation today saturday postal delivery will be a thing of the past starting on august 5th. it is simply too big of a cost savings to ignore. today congressman danny davis a former postal worker himself reminds union members that lawmakers have until march 27th to intervene. if congress ultimately makes the decision, that is what the decision is but i don't think it should be made by the postmaster general, or the postal service with as meaningful as it is to the american people. >> mostly sadness out on the

street disappointment and even surprise from their customers. now they're getting rid of saturday delivery which is going to make things even worse it's a nightmare. >> i am speechless. >> it doesn't really bother me, most mail is electronic. it doesn't really make a difference. >> postal workers say that donna hallahoe doesn't have the authority but congress needs to act fast. as of now the cash strapped postal service has a $20 billion debt to close and this is how the postmaster general said he can do it, stopping saturday service would save $2 billion a year. we do have some support on capitol hill.

>> congressman danny davis is not alone in opposing the elimination of saturday delivery congresswoman jan tchaikovsky opposes it as well. the message to letter carriers inside this union hall tonight: call your congress people across illinois and complain because the clock is ticking we will just have to see what happens. gov quinn delivering his state of the state address or was it a campaign speech? we cover the state capital with reaction tonight. >> nobody in illinois should work 40 hours a week and live in poverty that is a principle as old as the bible. biblical

$97 billion problem for the state and is growing by the day. he did make mention is his speech this afternoonin his speech this afternoon hybrid legislation ultimately amount to a bipartisan pension solution congressional investigators call for a full house ethics committee probe of illinois congressman aron shock claiming that he solicited excessive contribution to help a colleague in a bitter primary battle last year shock is a republican from peoria, one of the youngest members of congress rising stars and is considering running for congress next year. couldn't be any worse timing for him he did come out last week and talk about how he

is the best one for the field potentially he was talking about to the old course's and this race and it's time for some new blood. this is not a very big ethics issue is very technical it's about the fact that the federal elections commission that as a lawmaker you cannot solicit more than $5,000 from someone to give to win independence super pak. he asked eric cantor for $25,000... there is this element of eric cantor wanting to bring in younger blood into the party this was an

advisory ruling is not necessarily the law that's frankly where some of this debate is going to take place how much trouble could he be in an ultimately? given that it is a technical issue he could get a slap on the rest i don't think anybody is talking about expulsion but the real damage is where we started you look at the two previous governors here in illinois you have shocked telling people i want to think about running here any republican or democrat will say there is a house ethics committee that is looking at the sky you cornered him about running for governor and t talked-about how this place needs to be cleaned up he has ethics on his wardrobe
