above freezing, the dew point was way below freezing. as it would start to precipitate, it would cool the air. and the dew point would come up and temperatures would come down to meet one another. and when it's still so far below freezing, it could still survive. we're not seeing many problems on the road at this point. as bob said, just be careful overnight. we have warmer air on our way tonight. and we'll have that forecast coming up. >> stay with wjz for the first warning weather forecast. to find updates and find live doppler radar any time, log onto wjz.com. well, snow on one hand. and fever on the other. ravens fever grips the entire baltimore area. fans are painting the town purple as the team gets ready for the texans. it's the first play-off game in five years. wjz is your home for complete ravens coverage. jessica kartalija with more. but first, sports director mark viviano spent the day in owings mills where sports director

29-14. >> it's just an honor and privilege to play with all of those players on this day. this is what athletes dream of, man. and it's just -- i'm excited. >> reporter: houston is in the play-offs for the first time, despite losing their top two quarterbacks to injury. rookie t.j. yates and his offense will face a veterans ravens defense. >> we're going to go up against two great players. in this league. next week. so you know, we will be looking forward to the challenge. >> it's going to be our players running our system against their players running the system. and whichever team runs best is going to win the game. there's an element of game planning. but i think two teams know each other fairly well at this point. >> and the most optimistic note delivered by coach harbaugh today. he says his team is 100% healthy. he expects all of his players to be ready to play on sunday, which is a huge advantage for the ravens, as a number of

around, still trying to piece together exactly what they think happened. we're live in east baltimore. adam may, wjz eyewitness news. >> and crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information that leads to an arrest. a verdict in the trial of one man accused of raping a girl at a baltimore county roller risk. the jury cleared davon perry of the most serious charges against him, including rape. the jury could not reach a verdict on two additional charges. a former army soldier is charged with attempting to join a foreign terrorist group. greg is accused. flying overseas to take up arms with the somallian terrorist group, alshabab. he served in the army from 2007 to 2011, and converted to islam after being discharged. maryland leaders are considering a hike in the gas tax. wjz is live with complete

coverage. derek valcourt explains where the extra money would go. but first, mary has the reasons for the sudden spike in price. >> reporter: some saber rattling from iran. the country is threatening to shut down the strait of hormuz, a major port for oil. average prices are up 9 cents in just the last week. and 30 cents higher than last year. wjz continues to track prices in our area right now. we're paying about their 3 -- $3.37. for a gallon of regular. that's up 11 cents from a month ago. some fear we could be paying $5 a gallon by the end of the year. vic? >> complete pump watch coverage continues now with derek valcourt. to break down the potential gas tax hike here in maryland. >> when it comes to major transportation projects, there's a lot that local governments want to do. all of them have their own wish list. but there is not enough money in the state coffers to do it all. >> reporter: the city says its

top transportation priority is to build a red line from woodlawn to johns hopkins bay view. carroll county's top priority is to improve heavily-traveled 32. anne arundel says it needs to widen 175 near fort meade. in fact, add up the cost for just the top priority project in the 23 counties in the city, and the state would need an extra $12 billion. governor o'malley points out that's money the state's transportation trust fund doesn't have. >> you get what you pay for. and there's no way to build a $100 million bridge for $10 million. >> reporter: they recommend raising the state's gas tax by 15 cents per gallon over three years. >> reporter: the idea of an increase is being discussed in annapolis and on the roads. >> i would sacrifice, i think, 15 cents over that period for that road. i would. >> reporter: many drivers say the price of gas is already too high. that's in part because of the high cost of crude oil, which

makes up 75% of the cost of a gallon of oil. another 5% goes into refining that oil. but the last 10% is our taxes. for every gallon, 18.4 cents going to the federal government. and more to the transportation trust fund. adding 15 cents would make maryland's reality the 6th highest in the country, behind these five states, which all charge more than 40 cents. >> reporter: though it is expected, so far, lawmakers have not formally introduced any legislation to increase the gas tax. >> derek, thank you. analysts say a 15-cent increase could bring in an additional $480 million in revenue to the state. the republican presidential hopefuls are on the campaign trail, making their final pitch to voters ahead of the primary. that's where we find manuel gallegus with the latest on this primary. >> reporter: a personal plea to new hampshire voters from front

history of being unpredictable. >> they don't always go for the front runner, do they? >> no. we always seem to go for the underdog. >> john huntsman is counting on that. huntsman, santorum, and ging rich are all trying to pack in as much facetime as they can, hoping to land in the top three. manuel gallegus, wjz eyewitness news remember. >> romney has a good chance to run away with new hampshire. the latest cbs news polls shows a much tighter race across the nation, with newt gingrich in second and rick santorum third. dangerous mix-up. what you need to know after dangerous powerful prescription pain drugs are mixed in with over-the-counter medication. american man on death row in iran. what the government accuses him of doing. i'm alex demetrick. coming up, an airman, whose job was dismantling explosives, is killed in afghanistan. his story as eyewitness news

outweigh the risks. and i think that's true of all of the medication i take. >> reporter: in kirk's case, aspirin is necessary to keep his heart healthy. in los angeles, edward lawrence, wjz eyewitness news. >> more than 1 1/2 million people suffer heart attacks each year in the u.s. and time to check in with bob. we saw a few flurries flying around. >> just clearing out. grassy services. nothing reported north and west of town. looks like clearing skies tonight. but with clearing skies, temps can fall. and there can't be any wet roads. could we see icy spots? certainly possible. snow wind at all. barometer is on the way up. we'll come back and take a look at a big warmup, however, for tomorrow after this. ,,,,,,,,,,,
