about a two-hour window to try to do its job o the streets and maybe that can help some things out as well. that's why a lot of schools are delayed or closed. this isn't the only day we think this will happen h e so much snow out there. this snow with the temperatures wee forecasting, may stick around the rest of the week. f theoking at some indicators we have. i think by the end of the week, we coulde seeing seven inches piled up in spots. if not a little more to give y an idea. it will continue to look very rich for you around here for quite some time, tomorrow, temperatures you see are in the 20s, low- to mid-20s in the s subuo 27 in washington. so out tomorrow morning, you are dealing with ice at6:00 a.m. by 9:00 a.m. ug was mentioning. many near or around freezing. the sun will be out, plentyf sunshine is in the forecast tomorrow. at the bus stop tomorrow, it's going to be a good idea for a delay. that's why we are seeing so many

school districts coming in, icy spots are highly likely that slush turning over to e. so black ice and just plain ice from the slush that is frozen over tonight. on wednesday, another refreeze could leado a few delays out there. thursday morning, we're back to siness as usual. here's the catch, thursday, mainly once the kids are home from school. there is a chance for rain and snow showers to move into the area, depending on the exact t timing ack of this storm system. we could see maybe rain and snow showers out there on frida morning. this could lead to some delays. here's what you expec right now the chance for rain and snow later tithursday, we're honing in on the exact timing, pd theential accumulation we could see, again, doug, we're not rolling out delays on frid. then the weekend, another storm system looks to impact our area. >> the one y are talking about, not a big one, stafford county, your schools are now
