to red. >> may as well. this one is different, though. no matter who it looks like as you head out the door this morning, it's probably going to look different by the time you come home. >> the issue is, arctic air is really hard to scour out of the area. cold air is dense and heavy, so it sticks down to the ground. now with a little moisture riding over the top of that, we could face a little bit of iciness around here. not for the morning commute. i'm not worried about the ride in. more of a concern for the ride home later. t winter weather advisory starts at 3:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. it's the evening commute we're concerned about. main kefconcern is a little per of freezing rain. we've been super cold for a super long period of time. as a result, anything that falls, even if it's falling as liquid raindrops, it's going to hit the ground and freeze solid. current temperatures are at

teens everywhere. highs only 23 degrees yesterday. we've been below freezing a long time. every surface on the ground is frozen solid. chances for light rain coming after lunchtime. any of that could easily stick and freeze. handrails and bridges and overpasses likely to be crazy for the ride home. prepare to leave work a little early today to be on the safe side. i'll show you future weather and talk about the chance of being 60 degrees before the week is out. >> all right. thank you very much, chuck. >> prince george's county, morriston elementary school is closed, the heat isn't working. jefferson county schools in west virginia also closed for the day. as for the delays, fredericksburg and stafford county schools will

with the horses every day? >> better than anything you could ever imagine. it sucks that i had to come to prison to find this. but i'm super grateful that i do. >> you heard that right. taylor is a criminal, a prisoner of the state of colorado. industries run a program based on the notion that if you can teach a man to tame an animal like a wild horse, the man himself learns a lot more than a trade. >> what's the most important thing you think you've learned? >> patience. there's nothing else to teach you more patience than working a horse. you can't jump to a conclusion and be mad at the horse. it feeds off your energy. >> if you can take the reins of your own emotion, the horse will do just about whatever you want it to. >> i've been training now about ten months. i've learned more about responsibility in my entire life. >> used to be that to train a horse, you had to break them. there's also something broken in

prison. >> how many times have you been incarcerat incarcerat incarcerated? >> a handful. >> david mccormick thinks training horses taught him how to handle himself. >> perseverance how to deal with trouble. you have stress factors, so it teaches you how to act as opposed to react as we have in our past. >> i sure hope this works for you. >> i think i've got it right this time, i really do. >> harry smith, nbc news, canyon city, colorado. >> boy, chuck. you look out there. that bright blue sky, the beautiful horses, it shows you an incredible program in a setting in the beautiful american west as well. >> like that show mr. ed, too. >> okay. random tv reference there. >> wilbur. >> i'd be dying for some of that sunshine and nice weather right about now. >> yeah. well, we

not much sunshine coming your way for today. the milder weather really isn't so far away. but we've been stuck in the icebox for so long that even a little chance for light rain coming our way later today could be problematic. as a result, there is a winter weather advisory posted for all the shaded counties here. anne arundel, prince george's, arlington, fairfax, montgomery, the districts and all the points north and west of there up to the blue ridge and the shenandoah valley. the advisories, there's different timing on them. but they start across the northern and western parts of the viewing area around 1:00 this afternoon and continue until 9:00 tonight. the main threat is a little bit of a wintry mix primarily for me, anyway, i think the main concern is freezing rain. we're not looking for a lot of rain, but looking at how low the temperatures remain, upper teens to only around 20 degrees right now. more than cold enough so that

freeze on contact. most of the area has not been above freezing for more than a few hours and that was last wednesday. to stay ahead of the weather, get us on social media, nbcwashington.com, our app. you can follow me on twitter, facebook and instagram. here's the situation. the cold air locked in place and the moisture literally going to ride up over the top of it. again, it's not the amount. only going to get .05 to .1 of an inch. it only takes a glazing of ice to make bridges and overpasses particularly slippery. here's the planner today. sun is up at 7:27. get a hint of sunshine early this morning. we should be cloudy by noontime. there could be freezing rain or sleet as early as noontime across the shenandoah valley near i-81. most of our threat in and around the d.c.

afternoon until about 8:00 or 9:00 this evening. before tomorrow, things should be drying out nicely. as a result, we'll get a little warmer. how warm is 43 going to feel tomorrow? again, milder still towards the end of the week. all right, thank you, chuck. a local jeweler hit not once, not twice -- twice in a matter of days. how it could have police looking for just one person. it's a move metro hopes to win back riders in our next half hour. why the agency is considering giving

first, the cold temperatures causing school delays and closings. >> marlton elementary school will be closed because the heating isn't working. in virginia, spotsylvania and page county schools are closed. jefferson county schools in west virginia are closed. fredericksburg city and stafford county schools will open two hours late. >> let's get a first look at the forecast from chuck bell. >> it's all about the persistence of the extreme cold have only been above 30 degrees for a few hours over the last week. in fact, we've been below 35 degrees now for so long, it's the longest such stretch of cold weather since 1961. it has been a while since we've been this frozen for this long. as a result, with the ground frozen absolutely solid and a little chance for light rain coming in, going to have a winter weather advisory today from 1:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.

day. a little wintry mix, a little sleet and snow. but my main concern would be any little bit of rain coming down making contact with every frozen surface there is. handrails, stairs, bridges and overpasses. be careful. it's cold again this morning. we're only in the upper teens to 20 degrees. there's not going to be much of a warmup. if we get briefly above the freezing mark, that will help. as a result, melissa, there could be an awful lot of slipping and sliding. >> i don't love that, i have to tell you. breaking news. something else we don't like, the water main breaks around town. takoma park. we have justin finch live for us there. we'll talk to him in a second and see what it's looking like. this is east of new hampshire avenue. traffic blocked both ways because of this water main break and the repairs under way. in college park, northbound route 1, water main

responding here late last night and continuing to work at this hour right now. the issue is for repairs like this, it will take several hours. there is concern if you drive this route this morning, you could very easily make your way into traffic tie-ups. already seeing cars begin to make their way across the area right now. of course, when you see these crews working, you do want to be safe and mindful of them. however, the cold conditions, the jobs are much harder, water main breaks like this one taking place across our area. with patience and time, the repairs will get fixed. however, we can see additional water main complications in the fauquier region as well. we're live from takoma park, justin finch. news 4. >> it's 4:30 now. developing news out of new york. >> chris lawrence at the live desk. >> boy oh, boy, the
