s. welcome back.oi if youd us earlier you heard lauryn ricketts give us a ng sigh because the weather is about to get a little gnarly. >> we're starting to see a tumble in the temperatures. the temperatures ts morning i d.c. were in the low 50s.

now we're already in the low 40s. ays frontalm is working its way through the area, and that is dropping temperatures. there is an arctic blast behind it that you can going oo feel latethroughout the afternoon. temperatures right now at reagan national airport 43 degrees. now, we're c going totinue to fall. some areas outside the beltway a little cooler. windas are incg throughout the morning. we'll start to feel them here in the d.c. aa along i-95 around 9:30 a.m., and it's going to be rather chillys we get into 11:00 and then even throughout the aernoon. itoing to be bitterly cold. just wait. this is going to be some of the coldest air that i can remember in quite some time around here mainly because of the wind. we had the rain that moved through the area. a few light rain showers back off to the west. that's going to scoot through the d.c.o, area, as the system finally lifts up and out of here to the northeast. thereould be some spotty freezing rain in some of the higher elevations right along the blue ridge mountains. if you're around there and traveling around there, make sure that yo use caution.

not only that, do we have some of the rain showers going on but we also have fog going on out there. current temperature a little warmer i-95 points east and west. that's because a warm front lifted through our area in the cold section and a warm front is moving through w whichl take everybody's temperatures down as we look through the morning. visibility is down again, especially through montgomery county and prince william county. when i was driving, it it was worse when i got around the station here in d.c.sk on neb avenue as opposed to when i left my house. as far as the wind advisory, we've got one of those, too. winds are picking:0 up around a.m. they will be gusting this afternoon up to 50 miles an then as the temperature drops tonight, we've got a windchill advisry. that stat sock p.m. for everybody and goes until 11:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. windchills in the single digits. watch how this windchill value drops as we go through the afternoon. this is what it's going to feel likeater on this afternoon.

so degrees in some spots. headed out to dinner tonight, a lot of people don't have work tonight. windchills in the neglect tifshs s going ts how i feel throughout the overnight and into tomorrow morning, and we only improve into the single digits for windchill values, so dangerously cold torrow. air temperatures only in the 20s. plenty of sunshine. cloudy on tuesday and temperatures bac into the mid-30s with rain possible on wednesday and rain to snow on thursday, and we dry outriday and saturday. small chance of rain and possibly some snow showers on wednesday. guys. >> get readying. >> ricketts, thank you. "reporter's nebook" coming up next. >> and we're back with more of today'sop ories. >> good morning. i'pat lawson muse. if you commute in theea you've noticed a change in traffic flows. the partial government shutdown has made it easier for those but

created pain for those who can leastffd it. well to both of our guests this morninu, >> thank pat. >> most of us would do anything, i know i who, to get out of lygridlock but certa not this. >> yeah. >> what is happening out there on the roads? way don't think this is t that anybody wants to beat the congestion around here, but certainly i mean it just makes sense that there are fewer federal workers on the road commuting to work, and that means that ow traffic f has actually improved fairly significantlism the ortation planning board in our region which looks at the trends from time to ti has found that in certain secs of roadwaysti you med during the morning rush periods, real during the inbound pier, some commutes have changed drastically. for instance, on 270 from i-70 in frederick down to 370 in shadygrove, that commute time went from 49 minutes to 29 minutes, 20 minutes chopped off the commute and if you continue down to the beltway it to improve along 270 as well.

the bw parkway, 66. all roads have seen travel speeds go up and travel times go ubt. that's good news, bad news. i've had a lot of people reach out to m on twitter saying this is great, like summertime and that's what the transportation anning board compared it, to the summertime pattern that we deal with around here but this isn't the way you want to g to it because people aren't working and that's what it boils down to. >> cly the reverse is not true. it's not lighter in the afternoons. >> right. they have found it's almost exactly the same in the afternoon, so that's kind of strange, but maybe that means that people aren't in the normal pattern in th morning, and then they are doing things later on in the day and the congestion levels haven't changed the other things to look out is not only the roads but metro but during the government shutdown in 2013 i believe metro lost $5.7 llion, and they lost almost half of their ridership h.as you know, almost half of

metro's rush hour ridership is federal employees, andhey are subsidized by the government. metro as we go further, wants to get a larger kind of swath of the data so they can break it , dout they are going to start losing millions. i wouldn't be surprised at the end of itf metro goes back to the federal government you need to cut us a check because we lost o on all this money. making progress and got there nue stream in hand here we are because of the shutdown we're taking a step back. >> members of congress, congressional leaders is asking how much is this going to cost? how much is this going to cost? >> sur >> tracy, the shutdown has hit hard in c prince georgenty where some 70,000 federal workers live and do work. right now there's a joint effort under way involving the united way and local businesses and utilities. tell us about that and what they have done that. >> the united way has given $220,000 to non-profits so they can do more for the community.

that's impacted not only in the nonprofitni ortions, traditional ones but also in local churches that are stepping up giving food away to parishioners and also people in thenity who need these -- who need w foo need help paying bills and who need help homesg the think about the number of federal workers who live paycheck to paycheck and real depend on an income coming they have been devastated by this, and they saw it here in d.c. with jose andres opening that food kitchen for folks here to come here and eat and then you see lines wrapped around the corner saying i need meals, need to feed my family,op working whole have worked for the government for a really long time. in prie george's county specifically it's very devastating, not only to the residents and local business that depends on them to come and shop, and, you know, to keep that economic chain going. it's broken when you many federal workers who are not being taken care of. >> thee pri george's community

college they have set up a financial empowerment center. >> helping people budget the little bit that they have in some cases, how to take care of their money. folks who have rainy day funds, you are saving, you know, one or two, maybe three paychecks, and we'reooking at folks quickly going through that reserve here. >> wiping it >> yeah.ut. we saw in temple hills las weekend long lines of people waiting for free food, and most of them said they were federal workers, so as this drags on there' a lot of concern about the long-term impact. the other concern, and we've heard it discussed a lot in the past weeks, is tsa. tsa staffing, shortages at the airports. we've seen long security lines in places like atlanta and houston. what aut here in the washington area, at our local airports? >> locally we haven't seen any sort of massive schurity kpoint line kind of develop around here.

dulles, reagan, bwi seem to be handling it okay but as time goes on really the question is the uncertainty. will people start calling out, will you head to the airport one day and o alla sudden they are down half of their staff because they can't come to work, and the issue here is not that these employees necessarily feel like they are being slighted in some way. it's like they feel like they have to make some money at some point. a t of them are saying it doesn't make financial sense to travel in and do all the other staf they are not getting paid for it, so the longer the shutdown goes on,ll r not just tsa but all federal employees, you start toorry out these things happening, you mentioned atlanta, three-hour wait times athe tsa security checkpot lines the other day, and you start to see it spread. there's no predictability to it and that's the interesting thing about the tsa thing and from day to day it c change. from dulles they did have to consckidate a cint but it

didn't have a major impact on the traff flow. tomorrow it won't. the longer this goes on, and i real believe theuncertainty of all of this gets to people and to your point about people who are lining up for food and so on and so forth, the j presidentt signed a law tt said workers will get back pay. contractors. >> cafeteria >> all that stuff, a long list of people who aren't necessary -- when you hear government contractor you think that they work in defense. 's not that. there are so many other people affected by this, and tracy was mentioning jose kandres'chen downtown. i went down there to look at the kitchen the other day and there were hunk line of people who were federal employees who needed a meal. >> and this is aoe man who work in third world countries to help pplefter catastrophic natural disasters and to see him setting up a kitchen in d. because he considers this to be a place there's a natur

disaster is amazing when they think about it, and then the folks who have to go back to work, and we're looking for second jobs to get income coming in, and now they are saying you have to com back to work without a paycheck and have to leave that second job where they were having income going into theirouholds again. >> a lot of uncertainty on the part of many people. we've got to take a break.ac we'll be rightand stay with us.

it was the firstwef to the delight of many in our region theid we han? did area governments and did the shutdown make the lefference. startgh iwan, secondary roads, neighborhood streets. >> folks were very happy. you know, they hit their marks with the storm, and so by the first day, by sunrise, we saw

the secondary andma p roads completely plowed. residential roads, some of them had already hadome they hit that mark o having it all taken care o b 1 ha0:ppy. i said on twitter, what are your roads looking like and normally when i ask that question i get tons of questions they haven't wne here and done the work here and theree two people who said they hadn't come to my neighborhood, and everybody was really happy with the work.lo had to do with the shutdown. vehicles not on the roadway. , so, everything was clos the crews had an opportunity to work. we got this light fluffy a me dwe went to some neighborhoods that never get plowed and we were like yeah, they have been through here five times today. ea that's good to hear. >>y good to hear. >> absolutely. i think we've leaed as well as a regio just in the 15, 16

years i've been in washington,ac if you went 15 years it was awful. there was a time when, pat, you know this, when the mayor wasn't sno when there was a mor. super bowl game. >> so there's a lot ofha things like that i region has actually learned from, and i would say i was actually proud of the road cre and the job they did with that storm. let's be hones this stormoverperformed in some areas. we got more snow than we thought and the s crews werll ready and staged and a lot of that also has to do with the fact that this w f thest one they really had to deal with. shalt supplies through theoof, chemicals. they have everything that they was from the school. >> i was scared and i feared. no buts. we he to stand strong. >> the video has gone viral, and who ctions of the stude came to time for the march for

ife anti-abortion rally are being widelyriticized. phillips is considered an elder in the indigenous community and he's a vietnam veteran. >> can this be a turning point? ha a this be point of where ed is stopped. >> tf group support efforts marched to the steps of the n basilica of thional sideline of immaculate conception and condemned that they condemn the students' action >> to have him a raced on that level, it's awful. >> he's the sweetest, most kind-hearted person, and to see what i saw happen to him was heartbreak. >> reporter: the diocese of covington and covington catholic high school issued a statement saying in part we condemn the o actionthe covington catholic high school students. the matter is being investigated, and we will take appropriate action up to and including expulsion.

asked nathan phillips what he thinks should happen with the students who participated in this behavior. he said it's not up to him to say. 's up to their parents and their school administration. at the bat sill can a, darcy spencer, "news 4 today." >> reaction to the video continues to pour in including from one native american tlawmaker. fit in our nbc washington app, ant we've also posted the viol video for you see. just search the viral video. >> a march on washington and throughout country. thousands ral while rushing for a mvee progressi agenda. >> this is what democracy looks like. >> show me what democracy looks like. >> women took over the street here ind.c. on saturday. coming up in a few minutes, we'llha explain other new issues organizers and activists are fighting for. t alsohey will hear more about a divide we're seeing in this year's rally. d.c. police have ray rested

grew up watching tennis because his dad was aanitor at the facility. they grew up knowing proper norm. >> seems lik they are doing all right for themselves. >> the weather in australia looks a lotetter than i does here. >> got that right. >> oh, my gosh! we're in store for some cold temperatures. lauryn ricketts is tracking a freeze coming over our area. wiay with us. wiay with us.

so we are now on day 30 of the governmentwn shut and there still seems to be no clear path to putting eo0,000e back to work. >> moderator of "meet the press" chuck td joins us with closer look at the situation. chuck, we're waiting for either side to bnk in the situation. was the deal yesterday, the president blinking. i mean, it seems like it' dead on arrival anyways. any what i to end this shutdown. >> i least they are not farther

apart. i say this not with a dark humor there. e fact is he moved a little bit, not a lot. he's still offering temporary for permanent which is not -- why would the democrats take temporary relief in exchange for a permanent wall? that said he's atrt least sg to movement democrats starting to move, too. talking about putting together a bill that would add a additional $1 billion in money for border security, not for a barrier but they are starting to move, too, and you have some incremental. what it really shows yar is they e starting to feel the public's ire, okay. we're athis -- i think long way away. i don't think this is -- and you saw thathe president just tiptoeing, tip toeing to temporary relief for some undocumentedigrants blew up some in his base, your ann riulters and breitbart. you seaty politics for him on this. i don't think we're that much closer, but like isa , i feel

ntiny bit more optimistic because they ar farther apart and they had been doing that. >> switching gears to what everybody was talking about towards the end of last week, the buffered article saying president trump tol his longtime attorney to lie to congress and then, of course, robert muelles office says that that was not true, essentially calling that article lse. does this give us any new or insight into the russia investigation? >> my biggest takeaway is thatr ro mueller, clearly he's been very careful not to respond to many media reports. the fact that he choseo this to me says a lot. the fact that the president and rudy giuliani both praised robert mueller is a significant development, a the end.ink at day, if this is about robert mueller's credibility, the that might matter more in the long run here. we're going to have a joualism debate about this and aut our ecosystem and how it is -- hows

there is t only one speed sometimes when it comes to covering >> sure. >> but the upside is there was accountability within 24 hours, and certainly the retractions or fu cbacks, i wouldn'tl it full retractions, the pullback was just as loud as the reporting on this which in some cases, and i think thegnost icant development after all of this fallout is you have mueller getting credibility with folks that have been questioning his credibility. that's not insignificant. >> and when this report becomes public, i mean, if it does become public, do you think we'll get to see all of it? will there be parts redacted? >>hat is going to be a debate that happens at that time. i think it will be very unhealthyryor the cou if there is a large portion of that report that is redacted. theris so much distrust. there are so many conspiracy theories out there. this report, this is one of those guyses where this report has to be the least redacted federal report we've ever seen

because of the distrust that's out there. >> thank you, guys. >> appreciate it. >> never a dull moment. of course, a reminder, you can see "meet the press" every sunday at 10:30 right after "news 4 to fy." aht for more progressive causes, the central them to at y satu women's march at d.c. and across the country. >> the march didn'te c without its share of controversy. as news 4's derrick ward w explains theas a split in this year's rally that caused a lot of friction for those involved. >> reporter: the federal government shutdown altered their route and controversy threatened to shrink their numbers, but neither of those factors was obvious as thousands set off on pennsylvania avenue for the annual won's march in the nation's capital. >> to keep fighting against things like rasm, hatred, the border wall. >> reporter: thosee themes hav been persistent over the brief story of the women's march first organized in 2017. what's new this year is a controversial el. statements mad by organizer

tamika mallory in support of nation offis limb leader louis farrakhan deemed anti-semitic and mallory tried to bridge any chasm over her remarks. >> nobody will be discarded from this movement. we will stand together and we will love and protect one leother. >> reporter: meanw in light of the controversy that's arisen, a countermarch or rally here on the grounds of the u.s. capitl. >> i wan to welcome you all. >> reporte while the crowd here didn't approach estimated 500,000 who marched at the other end of pennsylvania avenue, there was parallel passion for the cause. >> i know that there was split in the women's movement. we wanted to make a comfortable space for eveone to come. we're in no way in competition with the women's group incorporated. >> they want to focus on the ratifying of the equal rights amendment. the old dominion state gets on board the e.r.a. would meet a prerequisite fordoion for an

am.dment to the u.s constitution. >> we really need everyone to be working together if we're going to make progress. >>errick ward, news 4. >> all right. we're shifting now to some really seriously cold temperatures that are moving to ou area. >> going to be crazy. >> but seems like kind of a trade-off. i was talking to a lot ofle pe you know, it's been depressing out there, but you're notoi to go to be ute side. you'll w notice when work outside. 50s is, and then this afternoon weidork ou at 9:00. that temperature is dropng, and we've had our work. it's going to be a big cyonge. ll notice when this frontal system comes through because the winds will pick up and temperatures wl plummet. insane to see the 24-hour temperature change. yesterday had a littl bit of freezing rain and sleet and snow north and west of d.c. a lot of us that gold wind pick up about a quarter of an
