i have job pride. you know, it's just something that has to be done. i've been here since 3:00 yesterday afternoon, i believe. and i'm tired. >> reporter: and again, he shoveled out for over an hour. thanks to irene for helping hill o him out. i had to shut that situation down because she has to work with me. but anyway, it all worked out. some side streets plowed of course and then there are others like this one that need a lot more. later today, we'll hear from the county executive who will try to give an update and even ride around along on a plow to see how much snow there is out here. lots of snow. it's unbelievable when you drive around to see some of these communities. these pour follo poor folks are snowed in. that's the late trst from derwo. aaron, i'll make and you snowman.

cars. the state of maryland says it needs federal help to recover from the blizzard of 2016. the emergency management agency has asked fema for disaster assistance. the agency says fema can help with assessing damages and costs from the storm. no word on when fema will respond to the state's request. 6:06. metro's he bebeen open about an now and there a spot cause something trouble this morning. the orange line not running between vienna anding to get th silver line cleared, too. rains will arrive every 12 minutes. metrobus only stopping through major corridors. metroaccess starts at thonoon a limited locations. and if you're parking in the garage, you have until 9:30 to get it out were having to paid. vre is not operating today. marc's pen line n line is runni. reduced s schedule.

we appreciate you so much. you've sent us some really amazing video there the storm. in you we're seeing your shots from the air, too. you take a look, chris turner recorded this individuvideo ove leesburg. that is gorgeous. you can see some of the streets could use a little more plowing. but pretty to look at the from an aerial view. >> and he used a drone. >> pretty impressive. >> it always looks so good from above, but you know you're sick of dealing with it on the ground. we've also told you about the dangers and even plows were damaged while dealing with this massive amount of snow on the ground. take a look at the flames that tore through a plow in stafford county. firefighters say at least three plows caught fire over the weekend. at least one person was hurt. not badly, though.

firefighters don't know the exact cause and say the plows aren't used often. and were really put to the test. and maybe pushed a little too hard in that instance. what a problem there. so a lot of us want to toe wheth know whether we will get help from the sun to melt the snow away. >> people want forget out, tom. >> and you can keep up with it the nbc washington app, the latest forecast when you're waiting for the bus or metro this morning, still dealing with deep snow. some of the roads are beginning to clear out a bit. just had a plow go by me here. icy slippery spots though this morning. temperatures around 30. afternoon commute, we'll be in the mid-40s. maybe a light rain shower around. post your picks like mel did, list neighborhood has yet to be plowed. melissa, how are the roads? >> a couple of issues because of folks being on them when the

plows are trying to get through. starting with this problem on the orange line, remember, buses from ballston to four stations that are not opening today. vienna, dunn loring, west falls church and east falls church. you can take buses, but the stations are not open. fairfax county parkway to the beltway because of the plow issue that i was telling you about, 54 minutes, only the left lane is open. 95 north to the beltway, you're on time. and maryland on time. finding a place to park this d.c., more of a challenge than ever. the is no place to park on the city streets. we're still digging out here. the number of people finding their cars ticketed and towed and what the city says you need to know to avoid it. also ahead, d.c. police are on alert about a potential threat. who they want you to be on the lookout for.

coming up on 17 after the hour. if you're heading out, you may see more cars as people begin to head back to work. however, if your street is still

one of the many that is unplowed, getting out of your neighborhood may not be an option. we're watching everything you need to know on the roads today. in the air, airports are moving tons of snow to try to get to you and get you where you need to go. so even if there are plenty of flights, there are some that are getting canceled ennoven now. derrick ward is live at dulles. >> reporter: it's a slow scramble here, people sort of wearily wandering in hoping to be on their way. we have some updated information. here at dulles, 73 outbound and 60 inbound have been canceled. reagan, 17 outbound flights canceled and 10 inbound canceled. and they're feeling the main at

bwi with 13 outbound and 6 incoming canceled. and it's all about getting the air fields cleared. and that has pretty much been done, but there are other issues because with the storm moving, it's connecting flights and all the other variables that go into air travel, it's created quite a challenge for some folks. we hear from a couple elf stude students doing study abroad in south africa. >> thartstarting thursday, ever is trying to reschedule their flights. >> we learned you can't sleep at an airport very well. >> and we also are not positive we even have tickets on the flight. it's a big mess. >> reporter: and it will be a challenge getting out of here. the silver line is not operating nor is the shuttle that would bring folks here. so they have to get cabs or other means. but a lot of people say it will be worth it as long as i can get to my final destination. which is home for a lot of people, as well.

so we're still seeing the effects of this blizzard of 2016. live at dulles, derrick ward, news 4. montgomery county emergency officials trying to get help to people still snowed in their neighborhoods. they say the clean upprocess will take days. the highway services special operations center working around the clock to clear roads and montgomery county schools working to remove snow from its buildings. dmv is relax something rules. don't panic if you're due for an inspection. the dmv will waive the $20 inspection fee. it is also extending learner permits if you were not able to make your driving test. and we will put more information on those cancelations and how to reschedule on the nbc washington app. tood.c.'s mayor wants to red you that the snow emergency is still in effect, so that means no parking on the snow emergency routes. if you do, you will get a $250

with him and be his partner? she was with me. but anyway, we are seeing a lot of this in this community in montgomery county. they really took the big brunt of the snowfall for this blizzard. and so it's going to take a long time. let me step out of the way. look at all of this snow. this is the road leading in to this community in derwood. that's the latest live. back to you. >> don't let anyone take our irene. we need her. >> reporter: i know. and you know what, eun, please make sure aaron digs out my truck. he said he would. i need to go home. >> i committed to doing it. >> you got it. 6:34. and the roads don't look much better this prince george's county apparently. we saw a lot of you having a tough time yesterday. as of last night, plows have cleared less than half of all the roads. we asked the county executive

community there. they are still digging out there. that is a common sight around much of the region. that's why we have likely no school anywhere today. the chances tomorrow about 70%. and down it 50% thursday and likely delays thursday morning. melissa has breaking news on the roads. 270 south, local lanes, take a look at this. something you will not typically see. chopper 4 over this right now. we have plows here in the local lanes approaching montrose road. and you can see that big delay as folks get on at falls. anything north of that, you are really jammed because of those plows trying to get things cleared for everybody. northbound gw parkway, we're still shut down between spout run and the beltway. again just spoke with park police, they say thel cay will me when it opens. and buses running from ballston to the four stations not open today. only problem travel time wise,

right now we're watching the roads for you as many of you try to get back into your normal routines and head back to work. you're looking live at the local lines of 270. not surprising, there is a lot of traffic out therefor this time of day. and we want to begin with meteorologist chuck bell. >> this just in five minutes ago, the national weather service did expand the freezing rain advisory to include nor northern montgomery, frederick, howard and carroll county. freezing rain is a possibility. a grazing e inine inine ining g snow could make things even s slipperier. and don't take the local lanes of 270.

we have a huge backup 270 south as you're approaching falls road down to montrose because of a plow there in the way. trying to clear the roads. another reason to just stay away if you can. no matter where you live, you'll probably run into snow on the streets if you head out today. we've been telling but the conditions like these in the derwood area of montgomery county. now to virginia, some fairfax county residents are particularly frustrated with transportation officials. they say some streets haven't been touched since plows stopped halfway on others. one woman we spoke to said she couldn't get a response from vdot even though she called, e-mailed and tweeted them. overnight the agency explained its statewide phone number was down yesterday. vdot says it is work to go fix it. also says that about 60% of the affected roads are cleared at this point. 6:47 now. also in virginia, you will not be able to take the silver line express bus to dulles because the silver line is not operating. the leftover snow affecting a

lot more than just that, though. derrick ward is inside a jammed packed dulles airport to tell us about cancellations. >> reporter: yeah, as you can see, this airport is starting to nil fill in with travelers trying to get on their way. here is the updated numbers. here at dulles, 73 outbound flights have been delayed, 60 -- actually, those have been canceled, four are delayed. and over at reagan national, we have 17 outbound canceled along with another 10 inbound that won't be coming in. and at bwi marshall, 13 outbound flights and six inbound with four delays. this is obviously due to the blizzard. some of it because of the conditions here, but also because of conditions at connecting airports elsewhere. flights were either coming from

or going to. and the airlines wanted to get their leans out of those elements. it's not good for them to get too icy, so sometimes they would fly them to warmer regions. these folks trying to get home. derrick ward, news 4. and the death toll continues to rise. 42 people have died in the storm, carpoisoning and car accidents are to blame. about a dozen died while shoveling snow. several others from carbon monoxide poisoning after being trapped inside snow covered cars. we've been watching the effects the blizzard is having on other parts of the country. people in new york are coming together to dig their way out. we're joined now by the weather channel's reagaegan medgie in queens. the people there having a bit of a problem with the plows. >> reporter: yeah, you could say that for sure. good morning to you. yeah, we're here in the outer

boroughs of new york city, we're in queens. and this neighborhood when we arrived, the allows were still working tirelessly to remove the snow. we'll see some video next of plus removing the snow. there was a lot of snow, the point where it didn't even seem like there was a road because the plows didn't get to it. you have slush obviously there has been ice. and the other issue, the parking. being in washington, d.c., you understand that. but i'm standing here, this would be a park spot. but the big question people are now asking themselves, do i want to stop and shovel it out. so maybe people should be carrying their shovel with them. so let's walk back this way. so this is a side road. this usually is a lot wider than it is now, but you can see only one area. and i know i have to wrap, but i'm going to show this to you. this is the pile that we're looking at, this is just one of many. this is a car that the plu had
