but even wet roadways always cause a problem. let's lookte at the whouse, much different here. notice the front lawn at the white house. not seeing any snow there. it is snowing downtown but because the downtown area is always couple of degrees warmer, everything is meltingn contact. look at our station we have snow in northwest d.c., a coating of snow in our area. 34 degrees downtown. 32 in college park, camp springs. so again, that's the reason why we have some snow out there. area-wide snow.yb evy is seeing snow. we thought yesterday the rainnow line would b along i-95. we thought with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s you wouldn't see much downsouth. but wenu con to see the rain/snow line pushing farther south. you look at this go it's going to cont aue. lookthe wider view, that's it right there.
