the sidewalks and the roads ahead of the morning rush. we saw a lot of folks shuffling carefully down the sidewalks in arlington tonight. and before you go to bed, we want to warn you the ice is delaying some school districts tomorrow morning. here are some of the larger districts going in late. almost all students in northern virginia will get to sleep in. montgomery county schools in maryland also operating on a delay. you can see all of the delays scrolling on the bottom of your screen during this broadcast and in our nbc washington app. but now let's get to chief meteorologist doug kammerer. doug, what do we have in store for us tomorrow? >> ice out there this evening. and even though temperatures are above freezing, the ground has been so cold for so long, over two weeks, that is why we continue to see ice in some areas. now, the rain, the sleet, the freezing rain, it is all out of here. take a look at storm team 4 radar you can see where this rain is, down to the south and east. it is all rain. aroundl

maryland. but the system came through earlier today with that sleet, with that freezing rain. the temperatures were right about freezing or just a little bit above. and once the sun went down, once the sun went down we really saw the ice start to take over, especially in toward driveways and sidewalks. sidewalks have been a mess all across the area and even? localized streets. especially up toward northern portions of montgomery county i've gotten a lot of reports here. but notice the temperature. it's 38 right now in washington. that's the warmest temperature we've seen all year so far. 39 camp springs. 34 in gaithersburg. but we will continue to see the numbers come back down. that means more ice will continue to form. some areas that are above freezing around boston, around the metro station there, jackie bensen there live. and we're talking about temperatures that are above freezing but ice still a big issue even there. >> reporter: and you nailed exactly when we started to hear from people via twitter and other means, when the sun went down. this is what we started seeing. this has salt
