It's Tuesday, February 24th. Good morning. Minus 11, feels minus 15 right now in Brantford. Feels minus 22 in Kitchener, feels minus 13 in Hamilton. The dollar hovering around 73 cents, gas a buck 34. I'm Stacey Englehart. The streets of Puerto Vallarta are eerily quiet a day after fires and violence engulfed the popular tourist destinations. Canadians have been following orders to shelter in place after the killing of a cartel kingpin during a government operation that saw 73 people killed. Many locals worried the clashes will deal a blow to tourism ahead of soccer's FIFA World Cup this summer when Guadalajara is a host city. Meanwhile, Air Canada, Porter, WestJet and Air Transat have resumed flights to Puerto Vallarta starting today as Premier Ford is urging Ontarians not to go to Mexico, saying he doesn't consider Mexico a stable country right now. While thousands of U.S. and Canadian flights were canceled or delayed on the East Coast as the storm dumped upwards of 60 centimeters of snow in some areas and upended routines in New York City, Boston, and Philly. Travelers, meanwhile, with Global Entry memberships like Nexus, are facing longer wait times boarding flights to the U.S. because the Department of Homeland Security suspended the program. Canadian Food Inspection Agency said a baby formula sold online and at Costco is being recalled because it could give your baby food poisoning. Kenda Mills brand infant formula could contain a toxin that can quickly cause nausea and vomiting. Nestle and Danon recently issued the exact same recall because of the same toxin. We're hearing reports a company that manufactures the baby food swiped out a key ingredient when they ran out. Sports, baseball, spring training. Yesterday, the Blue Jays lost to the Mets 4-3. They play the Yankees this afternoon at 1. NBA tonight, the Raptors host Oklahoma City at 7.30. The NHL is back from the Olympic break tomorrow. The Leafs are in Tampa Bay 7.30. And Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have agreed to a rematch of their landmark 2015 fight. The second one will be held September 19th at the Las Vegas Sphere, streamed on Netflix. By the way, Mayweather celebrates his 49th birthday today. Weather, some sunshine, windy and cool, minus 5, feeling minus 12 this afternoon. Tonight, snowy, windy, we'll get about 5 centimeters. It'll feel minus 11 with the wind chill. Flurries tomorrow, windy, and a warmer high of 0. Right now with the wind chill, it feels minus 16 in Brantford, feels minus 17 Hamilton, a Winchella minus 21 in Kitchener. I'm Stacey Englehart.
