>> but i know somebody who should be. >> it's all true. outside this morning, frost advisory, we got ourselves a chill, down to 37 degrees, outside the area running a little cooler. it only takes mid to upper 30s to start developing frost on some of the grassy surfaces and your car. 36 bel air and aberdeen, 39 cockeysville and sykesville yet ellicott city in the old historic district 41. by the bay 43. the frost advisory all of central maryland, pretty much away from the water, just a little patchy frost this morning. we're expecting that to disappear quickly as sunshine, or mostly sunny skies, carries us to the 2-degree guaranteed high of 67. now a check of the roads at 6:30 with kim. >> thank you. we do have a little bit of building volume on southbound 95 as you come down from harford county approaching the 695/895 split. as we look at the jfx traffic is moving about smoothly at northern parkway. just getting words of a new crash at dulaney valley road and the beltway so use caution there.

planned for having a clinic on wednesday. however, we don't have any additional vaccine just yet. so we're waiting until that time to postpone it. we prefer to postpone it now. >> reporter: it's the same story across the state. at the heart of the matter are the five companies that make the h1n1 vaccine, they are overwhelmed and distribution is slow. >> that means that there would be many school clinics that won't be able to get started as promptly as we thought. there would be less opportunity for vaccination in large public areas. it will be slower coming and for that reason it's frustrating. >> reporter: phillips says over the past few days the feds have revised the amount of vaccine that will come to maryland. the initial allotment by now was supposed to be between 900,000 and one million doses. the feds will only supply in the short term about 550,000 doses, that's 45% less. and it could be weeks before maryland gets more. there are not only issues with the h1n1 vaccine, the state says it's also starting to run

short of regular seasonal flu vaccine. as distribution and production problems are also starting to cause shortages with that vaccine. >> we, again, are being told this is temporary shortages as far as the distribution and that there's plenty in the pipeline. again, that could be frustrating, i know there have been clinics that have closed because of lack of vaccine for that as well. >> reporter: phillips says many clinics will probably start running out of the h1n1 vaccine this week. as more comes in it will go out to the counties and those that need it immediately. in baltimore, roosevelt leftwich, abc2 news. the state emphasizes the shortages are only temporary and if you're looking for a flu shot clinic in your neighborhood seasonal flu or h1n1, head to abc2news.com. we've posted a link of the state's interactive map which will help you find what you're looking for. president barack obama visited students in our state yesterday an at elementary school. he hook hands in the cafeteria at veirs mill elementary school

>> they had their fans come out and donate a dollar for every fan that walks for your choice, like water or aids care and education in africa. >> while they walk with you you can talk to them. you can ask them questions. they are more than helpful. >> it's important for us to have the opportunity to connects with the fans on this level but more than anything our desire is to connect with people from the point of view of the realities of -- those less fortunate than us and having the opportunity to positively effect the world around us. >> the brothers played at ramshead live last night. >> i wonder why they are walking barefoot. >> anybody foe? >> have to get to the bottom of that. she's a happy and healthy 2-year-old. >> but her parents say it's her weight that is preventing her from getting health insurance. >> you always hear about firefighters saving kittens in trees. here's a story of a puppy on a

submit a slots parlor outside of runned run. the company says it's not interested in any other site. arundel mills. the chairwoman believes slots should be moved further south to draw in gamblers from virginia but refuses to say in the bill where specifically she wants the slots to be placed. >> anything we do when we're changing zoning classifications surely has to be done as an area. and that's really what both bills do. they talk to specific areas, not specific sites. >> reporter: the county council cannot vote on either zoning bill until after a public hearing is held. that hearing is scheduled for december 7th. in the studio, linda so, abc2 news. now to something you're only going to see on abc2 news. our overnight photographer pete "on the street" o'neal was on the scene of this fire, that gutted one home and caused damage to a second here on weldon avenue in north baltimore 2:30 this morning. fire investigators say that one man escaped from one of the
