tornado warnings today. first things first, we have somo updates to tell you about. yesterday we were in a blizzard watch. that means blizzard conditionsbz are possible. now we are in a blizzard warnini which means blizzard conditionsz are now expected. by this time tomorrow night i i would imagine that we'll have our first several inches on then ground already. let me take you to the map andap you can see that this is a big a.m. of even expanding now into new york city and long island. in our we're really in the bullu eye and that's the lizard warning that you see in the brighter ping color. col blizzard watches have been b expanded over to the eastern shore of maryland, new jersey,nw delaware and up to new york one else it's a winter storm w warning. what is the difference? it hasi to do with the strength of thegt winds you'reh going to be seeine and in our region we're close w' enough to the center of this th low, so the winds could be a problem reducing visibility andd

the worse of those winds will w begin late tomorrow night and sat through the noon hour. you u can see that there's so much mu going on with it, including then back side across arkansas. there are also a lot of tornado much whats that we're seeing ing red here. that extends all the way into alabama and into the. so possibly starts i would ask to be ready before that, maybe a as early as noon just in case in the timing changes. c around the interstate 64 area that's likely around 1:00. if you're south of 66, between 1 and 3. locally 3 to 5, but again be read did i before the starts because you know how fast thingf go downhill on the roads and of after 5 into northern maryland. there's the storm again, the worst of it is friday night

throughout saturday.th you can see we really are in the bulls eye and then you add add 40-mile an hour wind gusts and you can't see anything and alld of that heavy snow why isinging to below and drift.rif we hand to expand some of the bigger areas and i'll show youhw how the winds are looking. i'll take you hour by hour. > that's coming up. we anticipate the heavy, when ha the snow could result in downed trees and disrupted power lines with the potential for considerable power outages. the governor said it could takec

up to a week t remove all the snow. so he urged residents to stockpile food or at least thath long. of course when the blizzardlizz moves into the dmv driving d around is going to be nearly impossible. last night, our region had reg trouble dealing with less than an inch of snow, which snarled traffic for hours. yesterday's treatment of area ar roads fell short, area transportation departments are promising to do better. they say they will be better be when the first flakes of this massive storm start to fall. fox5's meaghan dice is live in virginia with more. good evening. >>reporter: good evening and ev good evening to all of you. i spoke with v. telling me that 4,000 trucks in0 all will be deployed in the northern virginia area. vir they tell me that is not a is record for them. they will be staged all around dmv. take a look behind me. you can see these trucks already starting to leave.ng t they're going to be staged all s around the dmv all night long waiting for the big game, the ga

clearly. it took literally three hours to get from three lights.ight grid lock, fend beer benders and this is what happened to the roads in an inch or two of snowo that started during the eveninge commute with an advisory that came out in the morning. mo even the president's motorcade was impacted. im hardly moving at the normal presidential pace.enti mayor bowser joined us live on n the phone at 10 in the middle of wednesday's traffic nightmare.. >> were any of the roads pretreated or no. >> i just explained that our crews had been out since four on the roads. roa since four. >> yes. > that was too late and now the mayor admits it. i want to say first and foremost to the residents of the district of columbia that we are very sorry for inadequate response. we believe that we did not provide adequate resources at at

time where it could make a a difference. based on wednesday's performance you may be wondering how would o the city effectively deal with a blizzard. here's whatç we know so far. road emergency are in affect starting friday 830. fr if you park there the ticket is 250 bucks plus towing fees. fee d.c. schools closed friday. fr d.c. government offices shutdown at noon. police and fire will be at full staff. chief lanier ordered 12-hour shifts. in the district of columbia if there is nobody injured and the vehicle also are driveable, youu are to exchange information. there is no police report that goes along with that. tha listen to this, last night the chief said 120 calls came in to police for minor car accidents.c she said only about 10 percentou of those actually required aui policere report. so again, the advice is move

your car off the road, exchange information and fend bender that don't result in injury and thend keep it moving. the non emergency number is 311. you can also call 3 # #, if for instance, you see a homeless hom person that might need warmerarm clothes, a blanket or some type of shelter. sh let's wrap up this report right now in d.c. with the shear the numbers, what a full deployment will look like in the district of columbia. d dot says they're going to uses everything it has, 143 heavy plows. some of those will be contracted, 70 light plows, 145l dump trucks and 20 bob cats. c tony these men and women who will be out here moving the snoo making it save are being calledl the d.c. snow team. > all right, will.ht, there you go. thank you much. all week long we've been givinge you tips on how to prepare for f the blizzardment many of youza have beerdn heeding those warnings. today some of you packed the pa grocery and the hardware storesa trying to stock up on food and n supplies ahead of the snow. >> i'm not used to it so i wanto

until recently every time it rained or snowed, the roofhe leaked leaving when the spots inside the building for dozens of veterans called home.ome. ahead of the big storm, that problem and many more have been fixed, including pipes and bathrooms. i was amazed when they replaced the roof. no more leaks during a rainstorm. james morris is one of more than 50 veterans living at the southeast veteran center. the former northeast veteran is thankful the roofer made the cuh ahead of the anticipated snowstorm. it makes me feel welcome home.ce back in august, the construction projects were abandoned. veterans here were coming home to exposed piping, faultyfaul bathrooms and news paper covering unfinished floors. the floors, you know, and the

> this is fox5 local news at 10. hi, there, welcome back.ack. well, we are bracing for an easy one, if not two feet of snow, maybe a little bit more than mor that in some areas. i thought i would show you our

latest snow total map so you have an idea. this is a change from yesterdaye that is the jackpot area which r we believe is going to be of of d.c. is a little bigger than itn was yesterday and it's a little broader. 20 to 30 inches west of d.c. that could be south of of hagerstown all the way down to 81 corridor all the way down to charlotte. from d.c. on east tot bay an easy 12 to 0 inches. the only place where we've reduced the snow a little bit is right along the immediate coast. we think you'll get something less than three inches, but you will be making it up with thehe wind, the full moon and we're very worried about coastal flooding and some inland flooding. the wind is another big part oft the story and this is why we have such great concern about power outages. 24 hours from now, not bad locally, 26-mile an hour winds,n but check out ocean city at 43 miles an hour. mil did you see that 67 at oceanocea city by saturday morning? d.c.

has blizzard conditions because of those winds gusting to 34 miles an hour. an it continues during the day into 6:00 at night and winds finallyn let up, it will probably take all day saturday into sunday sun morning, but notice the arrows coming out of the northwest meaning our storm is now north w of us getting off the snow, we think the snow ends late saturday night early sunday, bun the damage is done. and we are concerned about these strong winds for so many hours creating power outages because of the when the snow. th will is standing by with what w you need to know. k you've been talking about the winds, obviously that can bringn downpour lines, but you've alsoo been mentions this is going to be a heavy when the snow. sn can you explain why that is, first. >> it has a lot to do with the h temperature and this coastal air of low pressure.ress the ratios are rather low, so the colder we get, the lighterhe the snow.

but we think this one is on the heavy side, so much compacting down and combining with the wini can create some problems. > and that weighs down the trees and the branches. br folks you can expect some power outages. we've developed a fox5 checklist so you can be more prepared. this would also be a great timea to get something to write with r right now. i'll give you a few seconds to c get something to write with so you can keep the important phone number handy near your phone ifi the power does go out. why don't we check with a a checklist to give you a little more time.re number one you want to have a car charger for your phone or aa portable charger that doesn't require electricity. you can go out to your car, car start it up and charge your phone. have a battery powered flashlight. candles firefighters say a bad idea. unplug of appliances all just aa couple of lights so you know

when the power comes back on. o. when the power is restored you can experience a surge which can damage your electronics, like el curling irons. iro let the cold water trip, even a trickle of water can prevent pipes from freezing. number 5 have a battery powered radio, between that and your yo fox5 app on your phone you can stay connected even if you lose internet connection with your wi computer at home.ome. some important phone numbers to give you if you lose power at your place. pepco 877pepco. 877 again. 877 pepco 866. dom and virginia, dom help. vg and e877-778-2222. these are the numbers to call if lose power or see downed lineson where you live. l > good advice, thank you, will,

for many of you those necessities include beer.e how a local distributer beer distributer is working hard for us. >>reporter: in a snowstorm, beer is a must. they've been working since sin monday to make sure when theen snow starts falling you have a beer in your hand. they're working hard to finish i getting beer to all theirheir customers here before the snow starts because their trucks can't get around the big storm.m we've been working a lot of over time. extra trucks have been leaving early in the morning and not coming back until late at night. it's probably the best situation for us because people are home. they're save. they're not driving anywhere.in they're in the working. what are they going to do, eat, drink and be merry.

we're hoping power outages will not be widespread, but if you're prepared for that you're going to be okay and we're going to see the worst of the winds settling down by sunday at noon. the blizzard warning has beeneen posted for our area. it will begin early afternoon and it will continue until 6:00 a.m. on sunday. sun we still expect this to have a a high impact and of course everybody likes to focus in on how many inches are we going to talking about-with this kind ofo snow, this kind of wind it really doesn't matter. doe it's going to be a big wallop for our area.r if iou had to put an exact timen it for the district, i would say 3:00, but i would hope you wouldn't wait until then to be safe at home just in case it ca comes in early. we saw last night. the heaviest saturday morning, winds gusting up and over 40 miles an hour, over 60 miles an hour at the coast and it wraps up sunday morning. i think the bulk of the

accumulation may be done by saturday night. it will still be blowing and drifting on saturday, no doubtau about it.t do you remember february 5 and 6, 2010 this is what we got atragen national, 17.3 inches. 32.4, bwi got 25 out of it and we may be in the vicinity with our next storm. wanted to remind you what wh something like that looks like. we got a great picture from arnold productser, rocknold industry, maryland.du this was his taken taken on february 26. he said it was so heavy look at how the deck fencing started toa collapse. i asked you for your pictures from 2010 and i loved this one, the pup enjoying the snow. that's asanasser and he doesn't look like he's too upset about it. aleo says where is my car? you can see it's all covered(uq who n here and his caption was dudeu where's my car.
