adam, how rtare the roads there right now? >> reporter: not too bad right now. nothing is falling but, as doug mentioned, bridges and overpasses freeze first. that is a major concern. what road crews were so concerned about in d.c. maryland and virginia, they sent out hundreds of trucks to treat the roads and take care of this storm because they didn't want everybody out here as the snow was falling. but take a look. it looks like we're pretty loaded up tonight with the normal rush hour commute. it could be a long time to get home tonight if you do get stuck in this. just give yourself a little extra time. we'll check back in later in the hour. >> thanks, adam. this cold weather could be to blame for a close call for some of the nation's most priceless art i facts. the museum in the basement of ford's theater blooded today.ecause of a pipe burt bursting down there. mark segraves talked to visitors who were disappointed the museum was closed today. mark? >> reporter: well, jim, you're right. this could have been absolutely

popsicle. we're told he's working to get it scraped off. one might suggest he doesn't do that. maybe just wait it out. >> wait it out. big blow-dryer maybe would do the trick. so we're just having fun tracking this fast-moveing squall. >> are you guys finished talking about weather? i sense it over here. you guys are done talking about this thing. >> that's why we need you. >> right. >> you do it. >> that's right. let's talk about it now, show you where the burst of snow is as it continues to make its way through the region. to the west it was toward reston earlier. watch how it just comes in here very very quickly. just as quickly as in it moved right on out. we have seen some problems on area roads, but fortunately not many. hopefully some people were able to leave early. right now, where's the snow in storm team 4 radar shows you where it is. just east of i-95, in through prince george's, anne arundel. this is heavier than we saw come through the d.c. metro area.

tracee wilkins is live in prince george's county. seeing some of the heavier snow make its way through there. >> reporter: i am. i'm doing this so i can block it from hitting the side of my face. let me show you what it looks like on 202. that snow is really coming down starting to coat the road out there. you were talking about the possibility of whiteout conditions. well i know this is no fun on the windshield. two hours ago doug we had sun, we had pink skies, and clear skies. and now this is what we have, the snow is just really coming in fast and hard. tracee wilkins live in largo back to you. >> that sunshine today helped out a lot. temperatures got about or just above the freezing mark. if it would have stayed around the 20s, i think we'd have more issues tonight. good news this hasn't caused a lot of problems. the problems now, they're just going to be cold air related. 32 now in d.c. dulles coming in at 27, 27 toward reston.

the windchill will be a big factor. temperatures tonight will drop quickly down to 30 at 7:00, 22 by 11:00. again, the windchill overnight is the biggest factor, not this little burst of snow. it's the windchill, between 5 and 15 below early tomorrow morning extremely cold tomorrow and even colder on friday. high temperatures tomorrow 18, 19 on friday with a low temperature of 4. that would set a record that has stood since 1896. that's the kind of cold air we've got moving in. a latest mix on saturday may start off with snow changing to rain. it will be all rain on sunday with a high of 50 degrees. we get above freezing for a change, and we go right back below it starting next week. guys? >> thanks, doug. combine used to mean snog nothing, but now it does. >> reporter: i'm dianna russini at the combine. we don't know who the redskins will draft first, but we did find out who is going to start

made a decision yet. but a decision they have made who will be the starting quarterback going into camp. >> robert ended the season as a starter, we anticipate that going forward and we anticipate both of them coming in with a good frame of mind and eager to get better. it's up to robert to continue to grow and mature as a quarterback and person. moving forward we want to see improvement. >> reporter: jay, what have you learned last year to this year? are you going to change anything? >> we've changed a lot. we've addressed our coaching staff. it's all a process. listening to everybody and trying to find the best players to help our football team win. >> reporter: while jay gruden kept it short and sweet former coach mike shanahan was on the radio, and he wasn't holding back. >> die anannadianna you're right. shanahan discussed everything from donovan mcnabb to albert haynesworth.

but let's face it. what's a mike shanahan interview without talking about robert grichk griffin iii. he discussed it in detail. >> i knew he could things in the dropback game that would really give him a chance to excel later in his career but as i told him, i said, you're not ready for that right now. you're not. i said i don't care who you talk to. we've got to do the things that give you the best chance of being. you're going to have to trust me. i don't think he ever did after that point. >> so mike shanahan letting the redskins and everybody else have it. great interview, over an hour long. he pretty much aired everything out. >> i heard some people say he threw eye bunch of people under the bus. >> he did. >> i wonder if he offered clarification and if there's any melding twin the two. >> he offered clarification but threw a lot of people under the bus. my thing is, you're a twoo-time super bowl winning coach. there's no need to go back there. you can't ruin your legacy. just leave it alone.

it's in print. a few more nuggets from that interview, shanahan said during a meeting with griffin the quarterback told the coach which belays he felt were acceptable and unacceptable. also former coach said kurt cousins will be a good nfl quarterback and dan snyder was behind the trade for donovan mcnabb. one more redskins note, safety ryan clark has officially retired from the league. clark spent three seasons with the redskins in two different stints. he won a super bowl championship with the pittsburgh steelers. clark calling it a career. he will work for espn. he spent 13 seasons in the nfl. >> good for him. he's had a good career. i heard cousins was working out with jay's brother, right? >> jon gruden. >> what's up with that, man? >> trying to get
