district, the official measurement is taken in arlington. but now, there's a change. eleanor holmes norton is asking the national weather service to move the official site from

the congresswoman says measuring the snowfall total within the district is critical for applying for federal disaster aid, and she says it's a matter of respect for the city and its residents. >> this is an issue that hits home for doug. what are your thoughts on all this, doug? >> you look at the blizzard last year. the blizzard of 2016. last january, we only saw 17 inches at the airport, but we saw 23 inches near the white house, anden washington. so that number is not representative of what the district gets. and because of the urban heat island of the airport, much warmer temperatures there because you have all the planes, because you have all the concrete, you never get nearly as much recorded snowfall as you would in someplace like the courier reservoir or parts of northwest d.c. or downtown along the white house. i would love to see it moved. it's much more representative of what we as an area of the d.c. metro area get.

you'll be even colder back towards the west, but you have already had your freeze, already had your frost, so the growing season is over in those locations. we're not going to see any issues with that. now, no rain to talk about again. this is dry air, i have to take it out of dry air mode so we're not seeing the ground clutter, but temperatures will be colder to the west. 32, gaithersburg, 32, manassas, and 31 in winchester. a very cold start to our saturday morning. sunday morning even colder. some of these numbers will be in the 20s now, high temperature tomorrow, 54 degrees. a cold start and a chilly afternoon. but not too bad as long as you bundle up. there's a couple of great events. one, the danish christmas bazaar at st. elizabeth's church. 45 at 19:00 a.m., 54 at 3:00. i normally bring these in, but they brought us plenty of goodies and they have eaten them all at the other end. i got some on my tie.

residential traffic and commuters to produce at times gridlock on i-270 and surrounding roads. >> it's been quite a bit of traffic coming up this way. we have been avoiding. >> not everyone can. some are offering suggestions to make it better. >> maybe a better exit to filter the people off the highway quicker, because we noticed once you get off, there's a light basically right there. >> others have given up. done? >> um, nothing really. they have to finish the bridge over here crossing the highway, but other than that, it's here to stay. we're just going to have to deal with it. >> on monday, in montgomery county council committee will discuss a proposal to have off-duty officers help with security and traffic at secondary employment. >> it's a mess, absolutely terrible. >> leta lives down the street

they're going to jail for something they believe he wanted. he said he never did, but it doesn't matter. i's out there. this is snot a good place politically. >> let's talk about the meeting yesterday. was that important in more than a symbolic way? >> first of all, it is important symbolically. we have to remember, president obama was so grateful to the transition that president bush provided. it was a very professional transition, and remember, we had a crisis, this is the first get it right. i think president obama wants to reciprocate, believes, and for national security reasons, you have to. what i noticed in donald trump, and look, i hate trying to read body language, but i have gotten to know him a little bit. that was the first time i saw the weight of the office on him. >> interesting. >> you know what. i think that's a good thing. you saw it in him. and he's got a few ticks, we all have ticks.

was bobbing, and very serious with his hands, he's not a big fan of long meetings and here he was talking about the great 90 minutes, i could have done more. i think he meant it, and i think he meant it on the counsel part when it comes to president obama. he's not going to get counsel from the bushes, we know that. and there are operational aspects of being president that only four or five people living in this earth know how to do. so i think that's what i saw yesterday. and i think any american, no or you didn't, that's a good moment. >> we're hoping what we saw, the piece of it that we got to see yesterday. a stunning, devastating week for the democrats. are we looking at a power struggle -- >> struggle? i call it a vacuum. i mean, look, everybody and their brother and mother and son and daughter is going to think about it, if they have ever thought about running the party, they're going to try to run the

be the chair of the democratic national committee. i think you're going to see the flowers bloom approach and let's see what happens. i would caution the washington leadership no matter how progressive they are, if they get behind one candidate too quickly, the grassroots of the party might say, hey, don't do that. then don't be surprised if we start seeing dozens, a dozen potential presidential candidates start early on the democratic side. theres the party is wide open. they're in a deep hole, but there are going to be, i think, a lot of voices. >> i want to get back to another meeting, melania and michelle. >> well, that's the one i wanted to be the fly on the wall for. i feel like i know president obama and president-elect trump well enough. that's the fly on the wall. i got nothing else.

anybody could possibly handle something like that. i told her, you know, i watched her concession speech and i was incredibly moved by it and very proud to take my daughter with me to vote for her. and i think she appreciated that a lot, and she hugged me, which, you know, was amazing. >> margot gerster says she asked if it would be okay if she took a picture, and the former president, bill clinton, was out on the hike, too, and he is the one who took the photo. >> good for sylph rights movement. we'll meet the lawyer behind a landmark supreme court case about love and equality. >> tonight's frost advisory in effect across our region, but that's not the only part of the cold air we're talking. we have a freeze watch in effect. we'll talk about that, too. i have your weekend forecast

was a dangerous situation. why were you guys chasing this motorcyclist in the first place? >> well, thanks, doreen, and the deputies and officers out there did a terrific job in apprehending this individual. we actually picked up the chase as a result -- excuse me -- then it kind of picked up by the state police, and t county. then we assisted with the state police. mostly in blocking off intersections and helping the state police continue with the pursuit. but we're happy it all ended peacefully. >> did he give up or run out of gas? >> i think he just, from what i understand, he just gave up. i think he came to that left turn lane and decided to give up after a long chase, as you know. i think it was 40 minutes.

police officers could have just tapped him in the back and taken him out. is there a protocol or what have you in terms of cases like this? >> well, certainly, we want to do everything as safely as we can. we have the advantage of having a fairfax helicopter above to keep an eye on him so he wouldn't do anything to endanger or deputies or the officers or the public, so we're very careful in how we pursue. in any kind of a chase. and in this particur for a long period of time where i think he just felt there was no -- >> any idea why he fled like that, sheriff? >> looks like -- sheriff, are you there? >> i don't know why they did the stop in the first place, but thank you. >> okay. sheriff mike chapman, louden county. commenting on that almost
