below freezing in most areas. so anything out there will be freezing. that's where we expect to see issues tonight. right now, 36. 33 in elkton. temperatures are right around that freezing mark. south of us, it's still quite a bit milder. that's why, don't expect to see any problems. maybe earlier down there, eastern shore, temps will probably get to just below the freezing mark. tim in the outback with a look at the snow now. with a look at the advisories in effect. >> definitely, the advisories are in effect because the snow is expected to impact travel around the area as you have already seen. the advisories are in effect in carroll county on the top right of your screen. right on into the panhandle of west virginia and really excluding baltimore city. but all parts westminster to the west, you we can expect to see some of the heavier accumulations. as far as what we're expecting for the night, we're looking at a coating for most of the area. 95 corridor, up to baltimore

county. and from that part, northern tier of carroll county to the west, 1 to 3 inches, pockets will have the heavier amounts. then from the city, the lower edge of the beltway, south and east, a rain-snow mix. the consideration here is now whether or not the snow or rain mix is going to freeze on the roads. bob talked about the temperatures and they are starting to drop. we'll have the complete forecast coming up in a few moments. >> first warning weather coverage continues now with weijia jiang. she is live in westminster, carroll county, with more on the impact snow is having right now. weijia, you have more there than we have down here. >> absolutely vic. it has been snowing pretty heavily down here. let me also show you how the snow is sticking to the grass. of course, it all translates into one big wet and potentially disastrous mess on the road. >> reporter: a nasty wintry mix is blasting through maryland. >> we have been very, very lucky now.

snow to me can be a headache. >> reporter: a headache that is here, after luck ran out. carroll county got the brunt of the first round. snow whipped around sky eye chopper 13 in hampstead. and westminster, locals treated sidewalks and braved the weather to stock up. >> i'm getting supplies because sometimes the stores get crazy when it's going to be some kind of blizzard or any kind of bad weather. >> reporter: with up to 3 inches possible in some areas, salt trucks headed out early. in baltimore city, the falls road salt dome, a necessary stop for dozens. welcome news to drivers bracing for bangups and congestion. >> people like have the tendency of riding the brakes. >> they're in a hurry to get to where they want to go. and they're just not very cautious. >> reporter: state highway planners anticipated problems, too, and sent out crews to pretreat the interstates and roads with salt brine. >> don't be fooled by mother nature. >> reporter: that's from transportation officials who say the worst of the storm could develop quickly. >> you might get stuck. and if you get stuck, there

will be congestion all around you, which means our salt trucks and plow trucks cannot get out to treat the roadways. >> and that means more pain behind the wheel. >> reporter: the road crews are concerned that all of this moistureute here -- moisture out here could freeze over and become black ice. so they will be out here for the rest of the night. reporting live, weijia jiang, wjz eyewitness news. >> okay, weijia, thank you very much. and lots of delays because of the weather. complete coverage continues with kristy breslin at wjz traffic control. >> well, this has definitely turned into quite the rush hour. as far as the harris burg expressway goes, we're looking at delays in both directions. northbound to wan to belfast. also southbound, pedonia to the beltway. traveling top side inner loop, reisterstown to 95. expect at least a half hour to get through. outer loop, also very heavily congested dulaney valley road to greenspring avenue. almost 40 minutes in that direction.

in tears because some of the information here is very graphic, it is very detailed. prosecutors this afternoon said that yeardley love may have been alive for up to two hours after the beating, clinging to life, waiting for help, but no one got there in time. >> reporter: sharon love, from cockeysville, the market of yeardley love, wiped away tires as prosecutors went into great detail about the day her daughter died. jurors heard about love coming home to this apartment in may 2010. she found yeardley facedown in a pillow, covered up with a blanket. and when the roommate tried to wake her up, she saw blood and an ugly eye injury to the star lacrosse's eye. love's ex-boyfriend, george huguely, from chevy chase, seen walking into court for the first time since the trial started, planned the beating days in advance. cerks key e-mail. a few days ago, he wrote, you

said you would get back together with me if i stopped drinking so much. i should have killed you. huguely's attorney says that it was not premeditated. about his intelligence, he said he is not that complicated, not that complex, he is a lacrosse player. both went to the dumpster and threw away the computer. but they disagreed whether it was a cover-up. the defense will argue that love passed out after the fight and suffocated in her own pillow. but prosecutors argue the liquor fueled huguely's rage and it's no excuse for first- degree murder. >> so george huguely has been keeping a close eye on the judge, the jury, and the audience. also one of the witnesses. one of the witnesses this afternoon was yeardley love's older sister lexy. when she walked up to that witness stand this afternoon, she made direct eye contact with george huguely. it was very brief. but you could feel that intensity inside that courtroom

made to predominantly black areas. before the polls closed, the call hinted it came from democrats who were winning, there was no need to go vote. >> we're okay. relax. >> reporter: the robocall never mentioned that it was really coming from ehrlich's campaign. >> it's not just political dirty tricks, it's against the law and we will enforce it. >> reporter: state prosecutor emit daffit calls that illegal voter suppression. and in paul schurick's case, jurors already agreed. he finds out later this month if he's going to go to jail for the same robocall that now has jewelius henson in court, -- jewelious henson-- julius henson in court, arguing that this violates his freedom of speech. >> henceon's attorney says they ought to be able to convince that this was a political witch hunt who was,a pointed -- who was appointed by governor o'malley. the judge will not allow that argument. so the case moves forward.

doctrine. and they don't know our god. >> reporter: but the reverend al sharpton tells people on you tube, yes, he does. >> as a baptist minister, i don't have the right to impose my beliefs on anyone else. so if committed gay and lesbian couples want to marry, that's their business. >> the baptist rally disagrees. >> it is not only bad for religious institutions. it's bad for every institution in the state of maryland. >> reporter: governor o'malley promoted same-sex marriage on sharpton's msnbc show last night. >> this is not a threat to anyone's belief system. >> reporter: a letter urging the arch archbishop, and his faith is being called into question as well. >> traditionally, because he's a roman catholic. he is not upholding the church's teaching. >> that depends on whose church is teaching. >> all of us will fight for what is fair. >> reporter: and there are like- minded others as well. >> the governor specifies this

it. but it could be frozen. watch out for that. particularly walking on the walk ways. some of the roads untreated will obviously be in slick conditions by 9:00, 10:00 tonight. that's something we'll be keeping our eyes on. south of the city, much milder, close to 40 degrees. some locations, along the maryland pa border are down to 32, 33. 40, 31 today. that was last night. really after midnight. record, 70. and minus 1. light northwest winds, indicating that the pressure is pulling out. our winds are beginning to turn now and dry out. overnight tonight, by about 9:00, 10:00, we should be done with this. and i expect to see clearing late tonight. might even see that full moon again. probably maybe after midnight. but you can see the precip moving through the region. and it's moving out. overnight tonight, there goes the precip. mixed precip. the next real weather maker is this cold front friday night and saturday. maybe a few snow showers or flurries with it. and the much colder air in time

those are untreated, they will probably freeze overnight. because we're going below freezing during the overnight hours. so please be careful if you're heading out late tonight, tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon, we're going back up to 46 degrees. that's the latest from the outback. >> heaviest snow is expected to fall north and west of the baltimore metro region. first warning weather coverage continues now with weijia jiang, and the situation in westminster. >> reporter: the snow here in westminster has been coming down for several hours. and it is also sticking to the grass. that is a big concern for transportation crews because they're worried they could start sticking to the roads. these crews have been out since yesterday, pretreating and salting the roads. we have seen a lot of trucks across the state. that is because we've also seen a lot of different forms of precipitation. we have been in the rain today. we have been in the sleet. and now the snow. so all that translates into one big, wet mess. state highway administrators are worried about all of that freezing over and turning into black ice. so the message is for the rest of the night, if you do come

out here, do not brush the storm off because they say it could continue to develop well into the morning. so they want you to take extra caution. reporting in westminster, carroll county, weijia jiang, wjz eyewitness news. >> and complete coverage continues now with kristy breslin at wjz traffic control. with more on the impact on the roads. kristy, are we seeing any difficulties now? >> reporter: yes, you, vic, unfortunately, we are. although the delays have thinned out, there's still plenty of them. if you are traveling around the outer loop, expect plenty of delays to greenspring avenue. the inner loop still very heavy there, from park heights avenue to 95. and west side outer loop, still expect a good 25 minutes there from 795 to baltimore national pike. as far as 70 goes in the westbound direction, that's still jammed up from 29 to marriottsville road. and eastbound as you make your way towards the beltway. also, brake lights. still expect that on the harrisburg expressway in the northbound direction. that's from timonium road to belfast. the main message here is take
