even worse outside. and you can see the road conditions here very variable. slushy about some spots and clear in others. vdot urging drivers to take it easy. they want you to delay travel until sunrise and that's at about right this time. >> obviously need amelia thank you. it is becoming a tradition to blow off steam, maybe break the cabin fever. dozens of people came out for a huge snowball fight at dupont circle. we took our go proceedpro camera out there to give you a look. bitter cold may have you dreading the day ahead, but the warming trend heading our way at 6:21. happening today, lawyers for both sides return to court again ahead of the jesse matthew murder trial. matthew will be tried for the murder of uva student hannah

more difficult. and that will be something that investigators will be looking at as they try to figure out exactly what happened here. they will also look at the weather. the snow has cleared up at this point. but just before the plane skidded off the runway two planes landed safely and said their brakes were okay. passengers on board say the landing for the most part felt normal until about two thirds of the way down the runway when the plane started to skid and they were forced off and they came precariously close to falling into this bay that you see behind me. coming up on the "today" show we'll have a long lens trained on that location to take a look at just how close that was and how important that land berm was from keeping them from going into the water. back to you. >> thank you, stephanie. >> looking forward to that report. we hope you will join us tomorrow for a very special show that we've put together in honor of women's history month.
