5 things to know for your New Day — Monday, February 2

WINTER WEATHER

Here we go again, Northeast: As the Midwest remains buried in snow, millions will wake up Monday to sleet and blizzard conditions in the East Coast — the second round of winter weather pounding in a week. The storm put more than 9 million people in the Chicago area under a blizzard warning Sunday. And as it moves east, metropolitan areas such as New York City and Boston will be coated in ice.

Journalist apparently beheaded: Kenji Goto ventured to Syria to tell the stories of lives torn apart by war.
