6-18. these are actual outdoor temperatures, not windchill. anything that had a chance to melt today, will likely refreeze overnight, especially on roadways and sidewalks. if you have to be up early to walk your dog, you will want to be very, very careful. coming up, i will take a look at the upcoming week. we have warmer air on the week and a cold front and a chance for a few snow showers. i will tell you about that in a few minutes. rochelle: now with jamie sullivan. i went to begin with the bwre that we have on parkway. closed until noon tomorrow.

there is a possibility that it may open up earlier, but right now, it is noon. travel out ofly the rocklin, arlington area, the issue is going to be that you cannot continue any further. southbound lanes are open and asy will remain open as far conditions are pretty much clear. we are not advising anyone travel at all. let's talk metro. limited underground service, red, orange, green lines. we have service from paulson to the ease or market. market.rn it will start at 7:00 a.m. until midnight. possibly they will open up a few more lines and even extend, but they will not know that until tomorrow. of course, we will keep you updated. with take a live look outside. we have been showing you roads

that are ok. they look all right for travel, but you know what, we are not advising anyone got there because as it gets colder, as we get low freezing temperatures. it is going to freeze. i don't one a situation that we had on wednesday night. ere's a look at d.c. my recommendation is please stay inside until possibly tomorrow afternoon when we can see how many of the side roads have been plowed. johnathon: thanks for that. we should say this. starting at noon on friday, we had an army of people. these are folks who have families. a have not seen their families. some of them have been saying at a hotel nearby. just a hats off to everyone who has been giving us coverage.

to everyone in the field who can harris, great job. rochelle: they cap everyone and form the week appreciate all of their hard work. you want to move outside now to start our coverage tonight. we begin in virginia. johnathon: what is going on out there? reporter: people have been into the greenbacks they were sleeping in. -- in sleeping bags they were sleeping in. also, in the building they got some visitors. video.visitors of the

they talked with the folks who were answering the 911 calls just to thank them for the work they have done over the last few days. sure theyhad to make took more calls than usual. there have been fires, a structural collapse. things still far from back to normal. in the meantime, even though the major roads are starting to get a lot better, the interstate is doing well, he's asking folks to do this. >> i would just caution, please stay off the roads. give us time to do what we need to do. this is an enormous amount of snow. we are hitting the secondary streets. it is going to take time. tiny,er: you see here

this is a well shoveled walkway. -- behind me, this is a well shoveled walkway. folks to shovel the sidewalks, because it is something the county and state does not have the resources to do. johnathon: you would not think it would be hard. if 3100 people wanted their time -- volunteered their time. certainly are going above and beyond to help others. johnathon: let's get over to steve. this is going to be the final resting place for a ton of snow. if we built a time lapse, i imagine they're going to build mountains of snow.

in,e: trucks still coming dumping cargoes of snow. boulders -- bulldozers coming in crating a mountain of snow. slow.ce is still if you look over here, you can see all of the trucks lined up. we spoke with some of these drivers, some of which have said they have been working since friday. they started friday morning preparations for the snowstorm. they say they are very tired, but they are having fun. and you know what else they're doing question mark they are making money. -- what else they are doing? making money. rochelle: i am wondering camberley, how have conditions

changed now that the sun is down? kimberly: we are on dw northbound. they just closed it. you are witnessing it as we are. this is clearly taking drivers by surprise. people are coming up, hitting the brakes, saying what the heck? because the auto government is not open tomorrow, the bw parkway northbound is going to remain closed through tomorrow and through tuesday. the concern according to the national park service is that it is very hazardous for people who are driving. they say if drivers were to lose traction, then the snow burns good cause cars to flip. we're going to drive forward

towards the closure and get a few different angles. this is how far back we are. this is the close-up. look, there is someone else hitting the brakes. we are going to slowly drive up your approaching the closure and then we will turn on to spout run. yep, you have to get off on spout run. it just close down moments ago. everyone is going to have to exit off of spout run, which is a single lane. the roads do not look too bad here. we notice when we're driving on ae nearly parkway, there was lot more snow on the ground when you get towards arlington county the roads were a lot more clear.

there is a lot of work to be done. a lot of them are down to just one lane. between you and the card front of you, usually be bigger truck wanes -- wins. sidewalks are supposed to be clear by noon tomorrow. we know that is a very tall order and a lot of people chose to get out and buy groceries rather than shovel their sidewalk. i don't blame you one bit. one more thing we want to show you as we drive here. look how high the snow banks are. that is also problematic, even if the roads are clear. if you have to take and iran, visibility is pretty limited. off. slow going on and that is if from the spout run, we are heading back into arlington out to fairfax county and we will report back to you. rochelle: mobile track seven
