>> i was prepared the last time. so, yes. i don't think it's going to be that bad. >> i've got to go in anyway. if i don't get it done, it don't get done. so we definitely have to get it done. >> it's important to go out there and get the roads together so i can go to work safely and get home to my kids. >> and that is definitely the plan here in washington. the mayor is saying expect the critical time to be 3:00 in the morning. you can expect to see those plows out there on the overpasses, on the major roads and the ramps. they're going to be checking the conditions and salting as needed. of course, officials are telling some folks to stay home if you've got to get out, make sure you drive cautiously and carefully. we're reporting live from northeast, darcy spenter, news four. >> fairfax county schls

a lifetime appointment. >> an instant power struggle over successor to justice scalia. >> let me just make one point. barack obama is president of the united states until january 20th, 2017. >> good evening, everybody. >> from california, president obama made clear he will nominate a new justice and expects the senate to consider his choice fairly. >> these are responsibleties that i take seriously, as should everyone. they're bigger than any one party. they are about our democracy. >> if the president gets to see his third justice, that change would make the court more liberal. compounding the shock of scalia's sudden passing is the timing. a campaign year. >> we ought to make the 2016 election a referendum on the supreme court. >> republican candidate ted cruz had been a law clirk. now, as a senator, he intends to

>> we are advising that a lame duck president in an election year is not going to be able to tip the ballots of the supreme court. >> ted cruz holds the constitution. when he walks through the halls of congress, let me show you the clause that says the president is only president for three years. >> democrats may have to take their fight for an obama court pick to the campaign trail, as well. >> i just don't think it looks good that for very overtly political reasons, that the republicans would deny this president the right to exercise his constitutional responsibility. which is to appoint members to the supreme court. >> that was kelly o'donnell reporting. justice scalia was a giant of the legal profession. you don't have to look far to find lawyers in awe of his provision to constitutional law. he actually argued a medical marijuana case in fro

supreme court and lost, mostly on scalia' decent. >> i certainly remember it. i wasn't really happy with his ruling, he wrote a sprat opinion which didn't please me. but he's also visited georgetown several times. he visited my seminar. he's been a friend of georgetown. he's been a friend of mine. >> barnett says scalia's legacy is his belief that the constitution should be legally interpreted as it was first writt written, not as a living and breathing document. flags flying at half staff in honor of justice scalia. we got a look at his life through a number of photographs. a virginia man who admitted to stealing $53 million from banks to fund his lavish lifestyle has been murdered. police found his body yesterday inside a pick-up truck on armstrong lane. he lived in

covering everything. this is really just one wave of snow. again, this is just part one of this storm. we'll see another part develop tomorrow and then the next part is way back to the west. that's what's going to bring in some very warm air. that's why we're going from snow to ice over to rain. we'll talk about that in a second. this is why everything is going to stick very quickly. temperatures well below freezing and we have been for the last couple of days. it has been frigid. notice by 1:00, it's snowing everywhere. still snowing in some areas, especially down towards the south. but by 8:30, it comes right back in. that's when we'll start to see some heavier snow. we really start to get in on

the morning rush, if there is one, is going to be quite problem le matic. then we see the warmer air come in. notice the rain snow line around 3:00. we start to get that mixing, that ice, that rain coming on in. this is when things could get really tricky tomorrow afternoon. we've been tracking the timing of when the snow changes to ice. and, amelia, the ice could be a big factor here during the afternoon tomorrow. >> yeah, exactly, doug. so the iciest time period will be during the early afternoon hours from about 1 mm. before we get to that, you're waking up to snow-covered roads. still worried about some slick spots tuesday morning, especially bridges and overpasses. it has been so cold these last few days, those bridges and overpasses really hold only to that cold air. here's your planner for tomorrow. t

still below freezing. by 7:00, we're tracking that wintry mix and a temperature of 32. i'll shee you temps in a moment. but i think delays are still likely. recess probably indoors as the kids have school. we'll be tracking rain, maybe everyone heavy at that point. now, here's right around midnight 1:00 a.m., you can see just about everybody finally above freezing. look at the temperature for the morning rush. right around 6:15. temperatures at that point in the low 40s. doug, after this 178, some pretty quiet weather to look forward to. >> finally. we need it in the weather center. i'm sure you need it at home, too. we could pick up a quick inch of rain. 49 degrees on wednesday, maybe an isolated shower early. and then take a look at this.

look at next weekend. i'll tell you, right now, i will not be working next weekend. we've got a high temperature of 62 on saturday, 58 on sunday. finally, what looks like a very nice weekend out there. one thing to just remember. watch out on those roadways. again, they're going to coat very quickly. >> doug, thanks a lot. thanks for joining us. >> still ahead, john wall turns heads in toronto as the nba

i lead the 11 o'clock news with stories of gun violence. and like many of you, my family lived through the beltway sniper crisis. in congress, i'll fight to expand background checks on guns and ammunition, ban assault weapons, and mandate gun safety locks, because too many kids die from accidental shootings. let's show the nra we're not afraid of them; as democrats, as americans, as parents. i'm kathleen matthews and i approve this message.
