spielberg, barbra streisand in the back. leon: gloria estefan and her husband in the back. what a class. >> quite a crowd. leon: in the meantime you know about the dangers of chocolate, grapes, onions for your pet, but not as much as something that is more toxic than all of that. alison: kimberly suiters joins us now and she has details on a sweetener that can thicken or be deadly for pets. kimberly? kimberly: it's xyletol and found in a hundred household products and food. we think of chocolate. you can see it here, deadly to dogs. it is toxic to them. but it takes a lot less xyletol to harm a dog like boss hawksworth. erin's show dog here. a tiny amount of gum. these are deadly amount for a dog of this size. i can be found in some gourmet peanut butters, baked goods,

and things you wouldn't expect like face cream and deodorant and mouthwash and personal lubricant even. the most common product with it in is gum. the two dogs you are about to see nearly dived after they dove in the owner's supply of chewing gum. the owners didn't know about the dangers for pets but they researched it online after the incident and then realized how serious it could be. >> who would have thought there was anything poisonous about eating gum. >> i google it. as a safety thing. >> otherwise cody may not be here. she saved him. kimberly: tonight at 11:00, you will not want to miss the report. what you need to know to keep your dog safe. i'm going to keep boss far from the stuff. but he is the best behaved dog in america. so he is not even interested in it. i'm amazed. good job, erin hawksworth. back to you at the anchor desk. alison: posing.

what a cutie. leon: used to getting all that attention. >> used to being on tv. leon: school erin on that. in the meantime, let's get schooled on what is happening on the roads. the critical travel day in this region. >> starting at 5:00 p.m. it is the worst. we see traffic that is not great. big problems are popping up. an accident on the outer loop of the beltway at connecticut avenue. they have all the lanes blocked. we have the traffic getting by on the left-hand side. if you are going out of town, run through how slow it will be. move to maps in virginia and maryland. southbound 95. that is occoquan. traveling to maryland is 20-mile stretch. 270 northbound from the beltway continuing to collaringsburg again -- clarksburg again just over an

hour. wi are seeing a stretch 395. triple your time if you are traveling. that is a look at traffic. back to you. alison: thank you. okay. so as the temperatures drop we all start to think about snow. doug: the big story all year is the talk of the strong el ninos with the water temperatures warm. this is one of the strongest on record. often we don't take this into factor to make the winter weather outlook. the past two winters had above average snowfall and below average temperatures.

that hasn't occurred in back-to-back winters since 1986 of, 1987. couple that with last february being the coldest month in 20 years and featuring a low temperature of 5 degrees which was the coldest night since 1996. will this went ber a three-peat of the snow and cold or will we get a break? among the factors to determine the weather is a strong el ninos. this shifts the weather patterns for part of the united states, it doesn't make the winter forecast easier. of the six winters that have been similar, three featured well above average snowfall and three were well below average. two of those winters we received under one-half inch of snow. the historical record isn't much of a help to forecasters either so we rely on other variables. bottom line the main atmospheric steering patterns controlling the polar air locked over northern canada

show no immediate signs of shifting. if you are a snow lover you could still be in luck. the winters feature a sub stop call jet, which -- subtropical jet and if it develops and interacts with a polar jet at the right time can still result in an east coast snowstorm. my winter weather forecast is in agreement with the rest of the storm watch 7 weather team and it calls for below average snowfall and mere to slightly above temperatures this winter. potential for a major coastal storm cannot be ruled out we believe the seasonal snowfall will be lighter than last winter and lower than the seasonal averages. so we are calling for 8 to 12 inches as a season snowfall, less in southeast. more snow north and west and even in those areas it's not nearly as much as average. i wouldn't count on too many days off school and work

because of the snow. but the winter is it what it is. we'll see what happens. alison: we had a lot last year. doug: we have had big snow for the last two years. so let's go forward with the short term. the talk of snow, one more thing to throw at you. what about a nor'easters? even without a lot of snow we can still have one. but the best chance is mid-to-late february through early march. we will see what happens this time around. in the meantime talk about the numbers. it's comfortable outside. the mid-40's north and west of town. 51 in the reagan airport. cold temperatures, 27 to 37 degrees. overnight lows. winds are light. that will allow us to maximize the temperatures. as we have overnight to sunrise tomorrow. the three-day outlook here. you will notice one hing on temperatures. that they will rise. 53 tomorrow.

friday 64 and sunshine. beyond that. we are in good shape. tell you about the travel conditions tomorrow. it's ideal along the east coast and the mid-atlantic. temperatures in the 50's. rain and thunderstorms through ellicott city. on the east coast it's quiet. somehowers in the southeast. we lucked out this thanksgiving holiday for sure. i'll get out of the way for a full screen look at this. the next seven days show the temperatures are rising. then clouds, shower or two. late in the everything. 56. better chance of the scattered showers sunday, monday, tuesday. i have done enough damage. back to you. alison: all right. leon: okay. alison: we like that report. sounds good. leon: no polar vortex. alison: doug's favorite. leon: all right. how about a vortex of controversy surrounding a guy who can't run from it. especially he gets in his own -- erin: he gets in his own way and on a continuous

basis. i commend the cleveland browns for sending the message many teams are afraid to send. you don't get endness opportunities. johnny manziel has been benched and demoted after the video surfaced where he is partying, holding champagne. rapping pro feign lyrics at a club in texas. he recently went to rehab and supposed to be sober and promised not to bring more embarrassment for the team. the browns said we have seen enough. good to see them put their foot down. at least the redskins don't have those problems. what they do have. but they have to deal with the new york football giants coming to town.

the giants are in first place but the redskins are lurking. don't write them out after the blow-out loss to the panthers on sunday. they still have an opportunity to take the lead in the division. coach gruden: we are excited about our opportunity but we understand we have to play better and dig deeper to coach better. everybody is excited to be tied for first after sunday against the giants. >> what happened sunday will shape the rest of the season for the skins. leon: pivotal look at the white house.

awarded the presidential medal of freedom.

alison: they are marketed as a way to quit smoking but a man's choice to vape instead of smoke left him injured. diane cho reports. >> it sounded like firecrackers going off in my pocket. diane: this is the aftermath after taylor suffered second and third-degree burns. >> it was a ball of fire. it started smoking. i ranoff to the side and patted it out. diane: taylor said all he had in the pocket at the time were the batteries and a dollar bill. >> i don't think i was given the proper information on the possible what sored of the lithium ion batteries

exploding in your pocket. diane: we reached out to the battery manufacturer but haven't heard back. but it does say in a warning don't place batteries in a pocket containing metal objects. he said the store sold them to him loose without packaging or instructions on safe handling. the staff reached out to the store but the store had no comment. according to the u.s. fire administration, fire explosions caused by the e-cigarettes are rare and says there were 25 incidents reported in the u.s. media between 2009-2014. admitted it's likely others weren't reported. 80% occurred while the battery was being charged but none it says involved a larger personal vaporizers. if you don't have them in a charger they are not protected. >> battery in my pocket. like, you know, with the change. my pocket is getting hot.

>> he sells cases for batteries for vaporizes. >> that is it for us at "abc7 news at 5:00". coming up "abc7 news at 6:00" -- a historic meeting on how to defeat isis and how to stop them. new information on the paris attacks today. what the mastermind had planned next. if new person wanted by police. a look at travel this thanksgiving and the shadow of the terror attacks abroad. announcer: now "abc7 news at 6:00". on your side. leon: president obama met face to face with francois hollande to talk about the next step on terrorism. maureen: and scott thuman looks at new push and how it got tougher after dramatic

developments involving a russian war plane. scott? scott: there are 65 nations playing some role in war on terror. so today, france and the united states re-evaluating the tactics. under a spotlight today, they discussed a possible expansion in the fight against isis. >> fe have seen some success but how can we accelerate it? >> it is about taking out the financing, hunting down the leaders, dismantling their networks and taking back the land that they currently control. >> the white house has been standing firm saying the u.s. is carrying most of the weight, conducting two-third of the airstrike against target in iraq.
