for drivers on major roads like this stretch of i-95 south where a car went off the road. slushy and icy on side streets and in neighborhoods. now the big caution is for the wind that blew in with the snow, gusty at times and whipping in bone chilling misery. we found construction crews on the job and confident about brafg these elements. and it is trash day around dale city. >> very cold this morning. >> reporter: work goes on, right? >> yes. everything is all right. i guess we have to be safe. >> reporter: so this team methodically pushed through snow and wind to get through their routes. everybody pretty much in good spirits among the folks that i talked to. virginia state police had their hands full overnight dealing with some

stuff. the snow at this point very dense. it's not just powder anymore. it has a bit of an icy grit to it and snowing for several hours overnight into these hours. taking a look around the boardwalk, you can see it's white every where here. so much snow. so much wind. no one is out here but us and a few other people who dare to come out. most of them plow operators, first responders, and journalist or two we met earlier. so the advice has been to not come out here. and people tend to be abiding by that. we now know ocean city bracing for up to 12 inches of snow. public transportation called off for today until roads improve. as you can see, there is a good reason why. live here in ocean city, i'm justin finch, news4, now back into the studio. >> justin, thank you, thank you, thank you. normally those rooms a

norfolk for us this morning. >> reporter: for a place averages 8 inches of snow each year this is a big deal. so here in virginia the wind has been blowing and snow all night long. as you can see still coming down. it has been a light fluffy snow blowing around in wind that easily gusting over 40-mile-per-hour through the overnight. hard to measure. i've been measuring in different spots and getting different measurements every time i come out. right now this looks like about six-inch shs. and i say that's probably about the average. you look at the snow here, very light and fluffy, and impossible to make a snow ball. very difficult to make a snow man as well. and certainly the wind is going to keep picking up the snow as we see the winds not calm down even as the snow starts to taper off this afternoon. travel obviously has already been disrupted. roads are snow covered. going to take sometime. some warmer air which we are not going to get today or even this

weekend. temperatures drop with another blast of arctic air coming in as winter storm continues to pull out of the tide water. >> if you are off today with the kids, great idea to go to the grocery store and stock up for the weekend. >> i already bought the bread and milk stocks i could afford. >> now forecast snow. >> yeah, cold, cold, cold, behind this. i wish we could get a little bit more snow out of all this, because if we are going to suffer with the cold we might have something to look at. but not a lot of snow but be an abundance of frigid weather for the next couple of days. there is the view from our tower camera. nearby neighbor cathedral in the northwest whachlt you need to know, wind tapering back to flurries around here for the next couple of hours t
