cleared so folks can get there. one young girl was headed back tolem. e has to go south which is where some of the heavier south is, and she owes telling me about the journey that's ahead. take a listen. >> i have to drive back tosc ol, so i'm a little nervous about if? >> where is school? >> university of south rolina. >> class starts tomorrow so got to make it, by think i'll be fine. i think it was two years ago this same thing happened and it was like mend my mom were driving back to school and it was the worstev , but now i'm on my own, i think can i make it though. >> reporter: it's snowy like in central virginia. think that -- i just drive 95 the whole way so hopefully that will be clearing out. >> she hoping just totay on the highway and hoping that the highwayndtays clear people trying to clear the highways, adam and meagan, and they are as sng if you cany off of it give it some space, they will be able to clear the path for the days to come. >> absolutely. that's good advice.

>> you're a true m for others, david culver. must be your jesuit education that you go and help people t. >> it's that gonzaga. >> quoting the motto of gonzag >> put a little more effort into it. >> what i will say here, david, you don't have wry about adam tuss. y >> whatever t call you, tulver, coming out there and piing on you today with any of the ice cream or klondike ba. >> he's safe today. >> meagan, keep him away from me. >> i'm trying. >> that's all i ask. >> david, thank you very much, buddy. we'll check back in with you in a little bit and we're keeng an eyen conditions across the-year. >> we are indeed. right now i want to cthck in courtney ward from prince george's county public works. thanks so much for joini m us thning. talk to us a little bit about what you're seeing in your county. >> guys, do we have courtney? >> all right. seems like we're having a little

trouble getting courtney up, but we're goi tell you the neighborhood streets, they are going to be a little bit tricky. >> right. >> also want to tou as we've gone through the day today that fauquier county and prince william county public schools will be closed tomorrow. >> it sounds like we have -- >> say it again. >> courtney is back. >> we had a little issue with our connection there. can you hear us now? >> can you hear me now? >> yes. we've got you. thanks so much for joining us. we just asked you to talk a little b about what you're seeing in your county as it relates to road conditions and idevenalks. we saw a lot of folks in d.c. walking on the streets because the sidewalks weren't plowed. what are you seeing in prince george's county? >> well, i've been talking to our inspectors and everything, and our roads out there, they are passable. right n we're plowing our primary and secondary roadways so there still might b a little bit of slush on those. we have plowed our residentialo roorksds of them, and treated them at least bonce, we ask that since the snow is still falling, as soon as we

pollute roads are getting covered up again. if folks can stay off the roads and give our plows time to get everything cleared, that would great, but if they do need to be out on the roads we ask that they use caution. as for the sidewalks, it is up to the neighbors, up to --'m getting jumbled. i've been up really>> early. we're fall it together. >> if you have a sidewalk in front of your home or business it's your responsibility to shovel those and clear those, so hopefully folks are getting out there and doing their due ligence. >> that's kind of a familiar message when you're talking about hitting a neighborhood street maybe once and then you might not getack to it for a little bit. that's something that people need to be awareha of, it might take time to come back and make a second oras third into neighborhood streets, correct? >> exactly. we're going to start off with r primary and secondary roadways and once those are clear hand look goode'll move

back into residential roadways and residential streets so if folks can have a little bit of patience that could be great. i do ask for residents in prounty if they cou wait 24 hours until after the snow has stopped falling to call1 to report any snow removal issues that they are havingthat would be fantastic and i want to encourage folks to follow us on twitter because we're posting important information and updates all day long throughout this winter weather event so if they want to follow us @pgcounty l fore dwp that w very useful for them. >> thanks for joining us from public works. >> and our coverage continues in sounty. >> new4's aimee cho is live in green belt. aimee, good morning to you. what are roads looking like? >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. a little bit earlier we heard doug and david talking about how important it is to get the roof of your car, and look what we found.

lots of carsoo whose have not been done so these folks have quite a bit of digging and ushing ahead of them this. gas station is open and nothing has been plowed. take a look here. just a sea ofhite and you can't see the lines with thein parkg spaces and you can barely see the.ff the tra cones are pretty much buried. had to dig them out here and you can see how deep my boots are making frints in the snow and that gives you anf idea o how much has already come down here. if you walk with me this way, very dgerous conditions. he curbally drove up on here by accident a little bit earlier because we couldn't tell where the curb started and stopped. it was rightigbout hr. you can see, youknow, very slippery, dangerous conditions and over here you've got slush that's surely going to freeze at some pointnd makehe roads slippery. taking a look over here. this main road, greend belt roa has been plowed. however, the roads are still very slippery. it's stuff to see some of the lanemakers, and whatve w been noticing is there seems to be

two speeds for drivers, either super fast o super slow. we've got the super fast people going around the super slow drivers, but highway officials want to warn people to pleaseon use caus you're headed out so we will be out here continuing tondonitor the ions and bring you the latest. guys, back into you. >> the thank you very much, amy. >>o our team coverage, of course, continues with a look at countin montgomery >> our derrick ward has been out with us all morning here. derrick, you wer in d.c. earlier and now you're in rockville. things have changed a little bit, right? >> yeah, this is the ever changing road conditionss this a lot better now looking down at rockville pike. when we came to you last t e it was kind of slushy. having cars travel on it helps because the spreaders put down emicals and substances that help cars in the process. it could get later wit snowfall, but the traffic is

coming as well. we won't see weekday type traffic because this being a weekend. people being advised to stay inand only get out if they have to. later on we'll show you some of the sidelitreets. in montgomery county, derrick ward, news 4. back to you. >> thanks very much. thetorm team 4 coverage of the winter storm is available anywhere at any time. l have you to do is download the nbc washington app. >> yeah, because, folks, we're not done with it yet. doug says more snow is g come as we continue to see a lot of snow blanket the region, but let' send it to doreen who is down at thes health & fitn expo. doreen? >> reporter: the green cape, ere's so many things t do here at the nbc 4 health & fitnessexpo, but'm going to tell you something you can do for somebody else if you e me down her

thing. if you've considered it. come down and talk to the people from the washington regional transplant community. they have got some prize to give away a they have got some people here with their own personal stories. come on in and join me, mark. we've doneng a lot of interes stories over the years, medical stories about organ dona yons, and are -- we have donor families and recipient families. your mother got a lung transplant. >> that's right. about 12 years ago she receive a left lung, and a young lady, unfortunately, passed away and gave probably the best gift that she could have given anyone. our family was reallylessed. my sons mark and andrew were able to meet their grandmother because of it, and she had 11 extra years to live with us, and people are -- people are -- don't realize the kind of gift that they are giving by just merely signing up, so if people aren't signed up, i encourage them to come down here.

we have a lot o fun to encourage that signup but only a fraction of the people who sign up are actually eligible done orsz, so we need as many people signed up. get in a little heart on your driver's license and -- and if you don't have that, come on down here and we'll get you all signed up in a couple minutes. >> people can make a huge fference by coming down here's. we'll be here until 4:00 this afternoon. lots of activities. lots of free medical test and screenings. please come down here and join us if you can do so safely and if you can stay homech and w the continuing tv coverage. adam, meagan, i hope i'll see you down here, but i'll understand that y

welcome back. we're switching gea to tolltics now. today marks 23 days since budget talks collapsed and federal government funding ran out. >> dragging on. it's large shutdown we've ever seen, and at least right now it doesn't seem like there's any hopeful prospects of a deal being asked any time soon. let'ssk the man with a lot of answers to the get. moderator "meet the press," chuck todd. your show is coming up in ten minutes. man, he's there. congress is gone. nothing has really beemade. >> two senators on, ted cruz, he came to mestrom h, texas. tim kaine came to me from richmond, virginia and neiheer

one ofis washington, d.c. everybody has left town. the question is did they get the feedback coming t them? here's the -- you'll hear it, you know. there doesn't look like either side is ready to give an inch to the other side, right? democrats arewi not -- the say, look, we'll negotiate with the president after he opens the government, but they are not going to negotiate before, and the supportt i w to negotiate, and then i'll open the government, so they can't even agree on what to start negoenating. they h yet set up new talks. we don't know when they are going to meet next, so -- so this -- there's nothing -- there is no clearutath of this. >> sure. >> the national emergency idea frankly, you had a whole bunch of people in congress simultaneously thinking oh, my god that is horrible precedent and the other half going at least it will open thent govern the fact that you had some people rooting for this constitutional question shows you how broken it is. this is result of polarized government. the new "washington post" poll,

2-1, republicans getting t blame they will cave. a large number of reap clans say they don't want to budge, less than a quarter and even among democrats, a want democrats to move an inch and everybody isanng. forget divided government. this is polarized government where the bas are dick interrogate everything. >> even the pog is showing that obviously this is all over the wall,uthe majority americans don't even agree that funding should be, you know, for that wall. >> what does the president read, the president sees in that same poll, his bases support has increased. while a majority doesn't want he. remember how he views things and yet politically hees beli he lives or dies by his base and he needs this base not for ts fight bor the mueller fight. >> that's what's dominating the conversati here but we didn't ten get to the bombshell "new york times" repor fact that

fbi was investigating president trump's possible connection to working w rh thesian government which in and of itself is a completely different story. >> and you have to ask yourself the president, if he haso choose between which bad headline does he want to deal with right now, government shutdown is a heck ever a lot better than the fbi investigating whether you might be working against the interests of the united states. >> never a dull moment. >> we'll send you out front to get the unofficial snow stick. >> watchout, pat. i've got my big boots, too. got my big boots on. got my big boots on. >> before that, a
