more snow. owfall, snow totals actually closer to the district of cowmbia. more shan our northern morgsz of montgomery county, and a reason for that, the low pressure system system continues to bottom out and movti close s and we're starting to get more snow that moves in from the eastnd to the west remembering across the area, of course, when you're going out today, make sures that safety alw comes first across the region. temperatures right now in the 20s across the board. we're at 30 degrees here in the northwest. still some sleet possibly down to our south and east,ut temperatures for the tos across the area, and we'll measure somj snow int a minutes and i have to keep an eye on that guy and see if he grows. what do youhink, adam? maybe he might grow. we'll keep an eye on that. >> that car right there absolutely. >> just impressed by the artwork there. >> and i had nothing to do with that. >> but your beret i is stilln style and we've got #clayberet going on. >> reporter: then they don't put

bit easier certainly than the sa roads in arlington. 66 was rough getting out here to tis, a slow go, 30, 40 miles per hour, with just few cars on the roads. plows are out trying to make an effort to clear this but it's difficult and making it treacherous for some of thes fof you're trying to back through here. a lot of sidewalks covered. it's a sunday morning. enjoying it indoors with a warm cup of cove, hot chocolate or something. this is how i know it woul be for a while, guys. snow is going to be lingering. they mnded all of this here. this is one ofe: i'll try the climb. i did the health and fitness expo yesterday and i'm feeling pretty fit and if i'm out of breath it is because of the altitude but not nothing to did with yourg. condition how far do you want me to go, this is pretty high up, and this is oan of the mounds that's going to be building around here. they have got two, three inhis

shopping center already. we know this is not going to melt over the course ofr a day two, so it's going to be sticking around here for a while, and the effort is still under way as they are trying to clear as much as possible. it is surprising to see how artreacherous some of the highways were. >> snow-packed and still a little trick thomave nordk even though crews are out there trying to clear them. >> here's the angzing t david did that with cowboy boots on. that's what he usually wears. >> these -- >> looking good, buddy. >> that gives me a little more height when i'm standing next to you, adam. >> all right, buddy. we'll check back with you in a little bit. just having fun with david. >> i'll be here all day. >> good deal. >> let's give you a live look or another look at a neighborhood street in rkville in montgomery county. this was sent to us by first 4's malay. melissa treacherous driving conditions. real be careful

snow to come on in. earlier we saw some plows. peopleere working toet the parking spaces cleared so people can come out and eat a i also want to give you a look at how the roads are looking. the main roads have been plowed. the side roads, they are still getting to those, but even on the roads that have been plowed, still very slippery and tough to mentioned it's i tough to see the lane markers, saw a lot of cars who wer driving between lanes or even making their own lanes and definitely be careful. maryland state police says they respono about 118 crashes within the past 12 hours so if you are headed out this morning, obviously do be careful. we'll stay out here all morning and monitor these conditions and how things are look. guys, we'll send it back to you. >> amy, thank you very much. stay safe out there. c our teamerage continues even more. we head to prince george's county where we'll check in with derrick ward. hey, derrick. how is it going? >> hey. good, good. we're actually in monomery county, we're moving around and

playing where's waldo so you won't be abl w to knowre we are for the next this is rockville pike. not common to see rockville this bare at this time of day. by barry mean, of course, bereft traffic. there's a car going up rockville pike. not having too much of a problem. as you can see, it's bn hit. it's been treated. you won't have too much of a problem getting around but watcd your spe again because of thend surfacestopping that's a whole different thing getting going. burning question that i've had people asking me about -- they will remain nameless, the quality of the snow for make snowballs, and i'm still having trouble. i don'know, maybe i'm just challenged in that department. that's a pretty decent one, it's a start and if it getetter that will make the snowballs different. lks are being advised to stay off the roads, give the pollution chance to get through and treat i

we've actually seen the road conditions getting a little bit works and that is expected as we get more of the snowfall throughout the day. the temperatures s going down a bit, too. so those are all things to consider if you do have to get out. just be careful. if you don't stay iet ando a window and enjoy it that way. we're live in d rockville,rick ward, news 4. back to you. >> derrick, thank you very much. we're staying on top of the snowy conditions all throughout the moouing. >> ofe. let's check in with the head of the d.c. department of transportation mr. director, thank you so much for joining us this morning. obviously, you have many facets to focus on, not just roads. how are the sidewalks looking? h the street on w characters and what can you tell us about what's going on in d.c. our crews have been out there since thursday. we started pre-treating the roads and yesterday afternoon and through the overnight our pls have been operating, applying salt and moving the snow, and we are sdg residents and businesses to please

where the plows haven't gotten yet, and they were passable but pretty snowy, so, you know, ou might have some issues getting in and of parking spaces and once the plows get there and up get t ridge of snow that you have to sometimes bust through with your vehicle and caution is indeed the order of the day if you're going to venture out but don't. officials want to make suree tht thnowplows can come out and run the snowplow action through the streets and make sure they are clear enough because they have an eye towards tomorrow. they need to make sure the streets are passable. this being a sunday snowfall. you tonight have a lot of traffic and that's a good thing as they try to cle the roads and it there's not a lot of traffic to contend with because you don't want to be changing lanes or making quick movements when you've got services like we havell over the area.
