we have team coverage. let's begin with meteorologist chuck bell. >> good morning, everybody. yeah, road chemicals don't work very well below 20 degrees and nearly everybody is not just below, but way below 20. many neighborhoods in the outlying suburbs are down into the single numbers. so the ice impact this morning, it is dangerous out there. be careful, everybody. later on this afternoon, plenty of sunshine. there will be a lot of melting taking place. but there is a whole lot of ice to contend with here this morning. so by midday and into the afternoon, some slushiness. but by this evening, with the refreeze, things could get dangerous again. current temperatures, only 6 in fauquier county, 3 in prince william, 10 in montgomery, 3 in frederick county, maryland and only two out in martinsburg, west virginia. so the next 24 hour, temperatures single numbers and teens 7:00 a.m. by 7:00 tonight, things will be refreezing once again. here is at least a little bit of good news by early tomorrow

morning, wake up temperatures on your tuesday will be in the 20s to near 30 degrees. so road chemicals will remain at least somewhat effective overnight tonight into tomorrow. so that is shall weome welcome . today's highs mostly above freezing with plenty of sunshine. i'll have the travel impacts coming up in ten minutes. traffic impacts are extensive, tom kierein is out in them this morning. good morning, tom. >> reporter: yeah, we're on 395 now southbound and the main roads have been treated here in much of northern virginia. you can see 395 looking at our forward camera showing some patches of actual dry pavement. they got dried out by the sun yesterday. and in between the lanes you can see a little bit of the salt, as well that has been put down. so chemicals are doing their job even though temperatures are down into the teens on this monday morning. it is generally quite good on the major interstates and 66,

395, and the beltway in northern virginia. it's the side streets that are still a major problem. some have not even been plowed yet. hopefully later today we'll get some of the side streets plowed. but for now, 395 is looking good here in northern virginia. >> good to see that out of the front of the storm team 4 x 4. right now outer loop at telegraph road, crash just happened. overturned vehicle on the side of the roadway. we'll get more information about that one here in the next couple of minutes as things progress. east bound university at piney branch road, again, east bound lanes are shut down. these this is a water main break. you're fine westbound, but this will be a problem through much of the morning. and this is a lesser traveled road than any of the interstates and you can see that snow still packed on the roadway there. other issue northbound of the parkway shut down until noon, and it closes again tonight. we'll have more on that and travel times coming up.

another water main break to talk about, too. this one this alexandria. take a look at the mess here, king street at quaker lane. you can see quite a bit of water flowing. please have westbound king street blocked off here. virginia american water says a crew is on the way to look into this problem. looking live at the u.s. capitol for you now, lawmakers are pushing back votes until wednesday night at the earliest because of the note. all federal government government offices are closed today in the d.c. area. emergency and telework ready employees must follow your agency's policies. most state and local government offices are also closed today. keep an eye at the bottom of the screen for closures. all major school districts in our area are closed today. take a look, the whole map highlighted in red. most schools made that decision yesterday. some are even closed for tomorrow, as well. fairfax, montgomery, arlington and prince william county schools are all closed for

tuesday. as well as schools in loudoun, fauquier, manassas city and manassas park city. we'll post any new developments that come up on the nbc washington a. and we're keeping up to the minute with every closure on the bottom of your screen. 4 after the hour now. d.c. public school students can still get a meal today. ten different schools will open their doors for breakfast and lunch and the strict needs volunteers from 10:00 until 2:00 this afternoon. we have a list of the schools 00 the nbc washington app. i posted it on my facebook page, as well. search school meals. so we're working for you trying to bring attention to the side streets, the streets still snow covered right now. many of you telling thaws plows haven't even touched your neighborhood. know let green is live in bethesda thousand winow with a street conditions there. >> reporter: take a look at this street. it's slushy, we're just off rockville pike.

355 is drivable, it's slushy, but just 15 minutes ago on this very street, elsmere avenue, a big salt truck came through to treat this roadway. it's still covered in some slushiness, but that's a big improvement over what we saw just before that. this video showing you what the rubbing was doing. we also got the chance to catch up with a nurse walking on this very street in a white coat forced to walk along rockville pike to get to work at nih. >> well, it's difficult. i'm going to be in trouble because i went the way my husband said i shouldn't go. so i'm going to be in trouble. but, you know, there is no place else to walk besides the street because the snow is over your theses on the sidewalk. so i don't have any choice. >> reporter: and maureen says she won't be on rockville pike

for that long. but i wished her well and good luck of course. take a look at this pile and this pile. under this, we think it's a minivan and another minivan. but where is the sidewalk? how are these folks going to get here? they will have to do a lot of digging when they actually wake up and come out of their home. live this aboutin bethesda, bac. fire crews are trying to figure out what causedhyattsvil. the snow covering the 23rd place street made hard to get to the family this morning. they were able to rescue an infant and two adults inside. firefighters were. all of them are expected to be okay. we're told the blaze had something to do with natural gas. but it took crews a while to locate the meter also covered in snow. metro is gradually getting service up and running again. the stops on this map are the only ones operating today. there is limited underground service on the orange, red and green lines today. you'll be able to ride for free,

as well. trains are running every 20 to 25 minutes from 7:00 a.m. through midnight. metrobus is also free, it's running from noon to 5:00 on a lifeline services only. 22 routes own. cars parked in metro garages get free parking until tomorrow morning. and you won't be able to take marc and vre trains on get around. marc is stopping brunswick, camden line until tracks are cleared. amtrak trains will not accept the marc tickets. we are expecting a decision on tuesday service later tonight. digging out after the blizzard of 2016 continues today. this morning at 10:00, d.c. mayor muriel bowser will give us an update on the storm cleanup no matter where you try and go today, it will take you a while to get there. you heard the phrase, pack your patience. most of the d.c. sidewalks are buried under more than a foot of snow. especially those corners. i tried to climb through some of that stuff last night. wasn't pretty.

a lot of the side streets are also covered in powder. you don't have to venture far to find trouble spots for drivers. we'll take you into prince george's county where you can see what to expect from the plows out on the side streets there. the cold is the issue right now if you're heading out to finish your shoveling. chuck bell has your travel conditions next as we deal with the blizzard of 2016.

blizzard 2016 dumped a whole lot of snow. we want to show you a bird's eye view of the national mall. chopper 4 caught this icy aerial view. you can see the white house, jefferson memorial, and even a

fros ty reagan national. as inconvenience as the snow can be, it can be pretty, too. >> it's beautiful. it reminds us what a gorgeous city we to live in. chuck, the problem today is the ice and these really cold temperatures.do live in. chuck, the problem today is the ice and these really cold temperatures. >> it looks really pretty. >> i was so taken aback,s of an be so absorbing it. >> own it, you hate snow. outside weather impacts today, walking is treacherous, driving is slow and snow covered on icy roads. flying limited flights, but getting better very quickly. temperature-wise, watch out for the slipperiness this morning. single numbers and teens for temperatures this morning. a lot of slur andsh and a lot o melts later this afternoon. call your carrier before you head to the airport today to make sure your flight isn't canceled. and it's monday, put on your

happy face. melissa mollet first 4 traffic. >> that is actually one of the most creepiest things i've seen. mlk junior highway headed inbound, got a couple of calls about ramps that aren't completely cleared here. very hard to see in the dark, so we will perhaps come back when we can can see what is really going on. outer loop at telegraph road, overturned vehicle on its side there. you can see response there on the scene. down town northwest water side drive lanes blocked because of icy conditions. travel time, you're good to go, but please if you can stay home. it's really not worth it. lots of roads still quite nasty. and shoveling isn't the only thing you have to worry about as we dig out. the potential problems the snow could cause with your home. plus as crews work to clear road, we're dealing with a fairly big closure right now. the highway you will need to avoid this morning as well as tonight. your time is 6:13.

a busy morning for you as our region digs out after the blizzard of 2016. the main concern for many of you this morning, how are the roads. our crews are blanketed across the region to help you prepare if you are planning to get behind the wheel in the day ahead. and you cannot drive on parts of the george washington memorial parkway. the northbound lanes are closed from spout run to interstate 495. national park service says it

will reopen the authority bound lanes at noon and then close them again at 8:00 tonight to continue the plowing and the clearing of snow. now, our area national parks are also closed today. crews working hard to clear the sidewalks and trails. even the national zoo is closed today. the blizzard left quite a mess. take a look at this video, the crews are working hard to clear the roads in prince george's county. many of the main roads are plowed, but just passable barely in some places. crews say they have hit about 75% of the main roads, but it will take a few days if not longer before all are cleared. they expect to work on the side streets today. 17 after the hour right now. we'll get an update on driving complains in virginia. >> vdot on the phone for us this morning. helen, good morning to you. give us an update on the road conditions. p. >> good morning. basically what we're looking at is the interstates are mostly

clear. we've listed hov restrictions based on the federal government being closed. the passeng major routes are in moderate condition and what we're tackling are the 16,000 neighborhood streets that we're trying to clear. we had a refreeze overnight, so we're working as hard as we can, we have all of our resources deployed for us, about 4,000 pieces of equipment that are out and about. so we just ask residents to be patient with a storm this size. if you are able to get out and get on a highway, be aware that some of the lanes could be partially blocked by snow. if you're into an intersection that you'll have some side obstructions because of the snow piles in the corners. and always look out for a low of

slow moving equipment like loaders. >> since you mentioned the neighborhoods that you will try to get into today, we saw the trucks, the big plows and earth movers on the interstates, and the long lines of trucks on the interstates. are those same constructs going to be moves in to neighborhoods, are you going to have tons of trucks trying to get down neighborhood streets? >> well,what will happen, you look at some of the neighborhood streets and they're very narrow. so you can't put a large piece of equipment down there. however, you have a smaller pickup truck that can fit in there, but it doesn'tforeer for it about so that what we're looking at is for loaders to come in and remove as much of the snow as we can to plow a little bit further. it's simply a question of where do you put all of the snow. you're pushing along and the snow just continues to

accumulate and imagine what that is like for 17,000 lane miles of roads in northern virginia. so we're really just trying to work as diligently as we can and use the resources as best we can and with the larger scale equipment, items ju's just movi around as much as we can. >> and that is a huge job. i can't imagine where all that snow would go. helen, thanks so much for joining us. we should note the storm has been deadly over the weekend claiming several lives. the u.s. capitol police officer died while shoveling snow outside his home in delaware on saturday. 44-year-old vernon alston died of a heart attack. d.c. police say an 82-year-old man also died shoveling snow here in the district. virginia is reporting five storm related deaths and two people died in maryland. investigators in baltimore, laurel and carroll county are trying to figure out if three sunday deaths are storm related.

as it starts to warm up, the next big concern dealing with possible flooding from rain and melting snow. we just talked about the shear amount of snow, that will have to go shr wans it melts. that has first responder this is montgomery county warning neighbors to get ready now so water doesn't end up inside your home. >> when you get a chanceoff t o the next day and a half, work on your downspouts. when the water comes off the roof, make sure it gets away from the house so it doesn't flood back into the house. >> when it rains, the snow will get heavier making it harder to shovel out. so you have to think about that, as well. and it's hard to even think about driving outside right now. >> but just one day, you can check out the latest car models. blizzard delayed the opening of the auto show which will remain closed today, but it will reopen tomorrow -- or open for the first time tomorrow at noon. the annual car show at the washington convention center. and it will run through sunday.

as many of you start to venture out today, keep an eye out for people who do need help. we're looking for examples of our community coming together to take on what is left of the blizzard of 2016 and we've seen a lot of it already. we've seen people jumping in to help first responders and their neighbors. if you are helping, snap a picture, share it with social media so that we can share it. use #help4neighbors when you post to facebook, twitter and instragram. so let's turn to chuck bell now and talk about a little bit of a warm-up if we can make it happen. >> yeah, no problems with today. sunshine coming your way today. the only real issue with today is just getting out the door this morning. because everything has frozen solid overnight. the next 24i7k we'kxt thing we' first chance of snow arrives late in the day tuesday and lingers in to wednesday and maybe another light chance for? snow coming up on thursday. so this is what we will be

tracking going forward. came no problem. tomorrow plenty of melt willing into the 40s tomorrow. late in the day tomorrow, lance for light rain which could, could, mix with a little late snow late tuesday night into the pre-dawn hours of wednesday morning. wednesday morning temperatures hovering just above freezing. still a lot of iciness to deal with wednesday. and thursday snow chances, a small one at this point this time, but we're keeping an eye on it. oh, it is cold. 2 in martinsburg, 3 in manassas, 5 in bristow, 7 in warrington, a pa palmy 12 at joint base andrews and 20 at annapolis. sunshine today, nothing to worry about. clouds come back in overnight tonight. today mid-30s across much of the area. tomorrow, 2:00 tomorrow afternoon, there is that second half of the day rain chance. here is 8:00 tomorrow night. and temperatures by 8:00 tomorrow will be right around 35, 36 degrees. so you could get a rain/snow mix. can't really get much of an be

accumulation at that temperature. and then as we get into about 1:00 wednesday morning, those rain chances moving in to southern maryland and again a rain/snow mix is also possible down there. so keep that in mind. for tomorrow, there come the clouds. there is the rain chances second part of the day for tomorrow. "7-day forecast," it's monday, that means you're already thinking about the weekend and i don't blame you. i know i am. here is the rain/snow chances tuesday, wednesday, thursday. no big storm, just nuance level events. here is melissa now. outer loop at telegraph road, right side, overturned vehicle blocking the right side of the roadway. just proves that it is slick. taking a look at this in gaithersburg, 124 at air park road,s slick through this area. you can tell it's been plowed, but still very nasty through there. and a lot of roads look like

that even though 124 of course is a pretty good commuter route ear usually in the morning. big look at thing, nice and green. you see some red here and ther very likely plows or salt sand trucks trying to get some stuff down here and keep folks from slipping too much here this morning. as far as travel times, no main we ares. more about that when we're back in a couple minutes. and of course that was a whom -- we've seen a whole lot of amazing picture and videos you've shared with us about your experience during the tough but fun blizzard times. >> some funny, some heartwarming, shall a little sad. angie goff has been taking a look. >> and we're seeing everything. look. >> and we're seeing everything. we're seeing some that are more cute than just that panda we've been showing. everything from horses here to skiing inside your tutus. to getting creative with your snowman making. we're loving the stuff that you are sending us. enjoying this one right here.

improvise. and it seems like he got it right because she said yes. 6:27. and the roads have not been only a problem for travelers around d.c., flights at all three airports were grounded for day. the impact the weather is having on flights this morning. speaking of the roads, have a problem here on the beltway outer loop at telegraph, an overturned vehicle. that just shows you how slick the roads are. and again, we'll take another look at these roads here coming up in a couple minutes. this one here in montgomery county. ♪

maybe two at best. so eastbound university boulevard, you're being diverted at piney branch. height want to avoid this area if at all possible. find another way around it. we're not seeing much of a backup because of the lighter volume of traffic, but this will be an adverse situation for some time as you're looking above now from chopper 4, you can see traffic is starting to slow through the area somewhat. but something you want to a voigvoid today if you have to venture out. derrick ward, news 4. right now fire crews are trying to figure out what caused a house fire in hyattsville. the snow made difficult to get to the scene this morning. crews were able to rescue an infant and two adults inside. all are expected to be okay. we're told the fire had something to do with natural gas. it took crews a while to locate the meter which was also covered

we had a good day yesterday with the plows. but will there are places where it could have refrozen overnight. we're treating that and we'll get help with the sun. but we still have a lot of lanes and shoulders to push back. and the more room we have on the road, the better it will be for all of us. s >> bob rager, thanks so much. metro slowly restoring service. the stops -- there are only a few metro stops up and running right now. limited underground service on the orange, red and green lines only today. you'll be able to ride fro free. trains are running every 20 to 25 minutes from 7:00 a.m. through midnight. metrobus also free, it's running from noon to 5:00 on a lifeline service. that means only 22 routes running today. cars parked in metro garages get free parking until 9:30 tomorrow morning. marc, vre trains also not running today. marc is stopping brunswick
