spotsylvania and stafford. >> and frederick county prince george. >> and the following districts on a two hour delay. charles county maryland and call pepner virginia. find the full list and anything else we did not mention on the bottom of your screen and also on fox5dc.com. >> and tonight, team coverage is post blizzard outrage continues to grow from the nightmare commute neighborhoods untouched by plows and a forecast with dropping temps that could make for a trucky morning commute. will thomas t. was gridlock behind you, will. >> absolutely. it was a mess out here, jim. i'll tell what you for a lot of people watching this right now, probab thousands of people. the commute into d.c. was a mess. maybe took you twice as long. all right. getting out ever a blizzard and crews are working and the commute home may have been worse. it was gridlock in the the city including wisconsin avenue. what we had was snow still in so. lanes and crews out there

working and take a look at aerial shot. it's camera perched high above the tv camera. you can see all those break light look at the camera pushs in just gridlock out here. a closer look from the ground. you can see cars, trucks, buse buses, barely creep ago long. just look at this. inches along. we heard from so many angry drivers opt phones and social media and angry with the sit yain federal government for being on for business. but road conditions perhaps were not ready for all the traffic. so when you consider it was tough to get in and tough to get out and for some people it took several hours to go very few miles and toad that gridlock it's no surprise a lot of you out here tonight had plenty to say. >> terrible. unbelievable. not just d.c. it's maryland too. >> i'm already late and everybody has been late this

week. >> we're about to make you more late. >> what do you make of all the traffic. >> i think it's kind of difficult when they can't get the snow up on the main -- back roads are bad but i've never seen it this bad. >> how long you have been in i it. >> 45 minutes. >> it's pretty awful we've been here an hour and a half. since said well. >> said well friend to private school here to where we are in wisconsin avenue, 1.3 miles i looked it up. again you heard her an hour and a half to go 1.3 miles. here's the world from d dot there's a lot of apparatus on the roads clearing the snow. and in some cases they were pretreating roads for refreezing tonight. so they say, their work it far from over. guys, i'll see you back inside in a few minutes. >> what a mess out there. thank you, will. >> that slow going evening commute was not limited to northwest d.c.. we dprov montgomery country and loudoun county and from the salt dmom leesburg lauren how

was your commute from one county to the other? >> i'll tell you what, shawn, frustrations were running high. not just everybody on the roads but myself and my photographer, paul, as well. we were sitting it in along with you. of course, this was a historic storm, crews were work around the clock. you can see them here behind me at the salt dome in leesburg continuing to work out there. and it's very slow going. even though most of the roads are passable. river road was crawling during the evening rush heading out of d.c. in montgomery county towards beltway took us 45 minutes alone. it was down to one lane in either direction because that's all that was plowed and cruz were outlooking to move the snow and on up those additional lanes. >> an enormous effort really is enormous effort and i would have expected river road to have about cleared earlier. since it is a fairly major arterial but there's a lot of work to be done. and i know they have been

working hard. >> and the highways are in pretty decent shape. in residential areas, ice is still a big concern in loudoun county. you can see why schools are closed through friday. on neighborhood streets and leesburg the sidewalks, they have not been touched and the roads, while plowed, are cove covered in ice, not fit for kids to walk to the bus stop. shannon why vdot shared photos of what crews are dealing with gravel roads and 8 foot snow drifts. he says most country roads should have seen a snowplow pass through once and cruz and crews continue to work night and day. >> i can only speak to loudoun we're doing one pass now. tonight we're concentrating on some of the primary roads. >> route 728, route 50rbgs route 234, those areas where we've lost a lane where it

grows three lanes down to two because of snow, that's our main goal tonight is to get all those lanes opened up. that's a daivrping us. if we don't do that. so we're working hard on opening that up, all lanes. >> and intersections we're definitely trying to clear out intersections we know there's issues where snow is piled up on intersection and that's what we're working to to try to alleviate. >> some of that is really high at the intersections and it's difficult to look around. we saw that in d.c. and maryland as well. crews out here tonight and there's the plows and there's also trucks loading up with the stand and salt mix. they're going to be applying those to icy areas and tlel be refreezing overnight particularly ramps and overpasses. if you head out tomorrow morning be very careful with the ice. there's also potholes in areas as well. that's the latest in leesburg. lauren demarco, "fox5 local news". >> lauren, thank you. today temps reached the 40s in the district and roads became wet with melting snow. as you

heard lauren say we can certainly count on refreeze out there overnight. so sue palka is here to talk about those concerns. you know it's instant chaos you add water and cold. >> you don't have to sprinkle anything on there you're right jim you have to watch your step in the morning and the reason this is bigger deal tonight we're colder. last night most places didn't get below the mid 30s. tonight the only place still at 321 district and annapolis area. everybody else is freezing. and check out what we saw on the roads today. a lot of wetness. we've gotten rid of a lot of snow pack over the last few days. it was 52 yesterday and 40s today and we've been doing a lot of melting. and when we refer to back ice, it's wet spots that look like it may be pavement and they're quite slippery and we're already seeing that in our own parking lot here. we want to you watch this tomorrow morning. if it looks like this it will be quite icy into any other untreated your front step, sidewalk and drive way. let me show you the setup to.

high pressure is moving in overhead and lighting winds mean we can get quite cold and that's why we're seeing more ice than we've seen any other night this week since the blizzard started. you'll recall one week ago tonight a traffic nightmare with a little bit of snow that turned into ice. this is the kind of concern we have for tomorrow morning with teens and 20s taking any of that liquid that melted off and making it slippery. so i'm glad there's so many schools not going back tomorrow. we'll recover nicely tomorrow afternoon. we'll get back into the 40s. it's just those early morning hours because of this check out the temperatures. 19 frederick. 25 dulles. we're still 34 d.c. and annapolis and everybody else headed below that and this is a lot cold than it was last nigh night. overnight we head to upper teens to 25 and that's a recipe for some potential slipping and sliding tomorrow morning as well as later on tonight. we'll have the latest on even warmer temperatures though to further reduce that snow pack that's coming your way in the 7

day in a little bit. >> "fox5" is in prince george county now it's a little more than an hour after county executive promised all streets would be plowed there. "fox5" marina morocco is live tonight. did the county keep the props. >> if you ask these neighbors in temple hill they'll actual no. it's resounding no. they're completely snowed n you see the drive way behind me here leads tie cul-de-sac and i'm standing in at least three, four inches of snow you see the shovel here nearly completely covered bit snow. and since i try taking steps here i sink deep into the snow. and the other side of the street it's been plowed by default basically by the residents that tried to get in and out of the street. throughout these days since saturday look i heard sue say with refreeze tonight it's going to get slick. getting out of the crew car here was a feat on own. now we spoke to residents here they say they're frustrated and

pay taxes in prince george county and don't understand why they've been forgotten. >> i'm really frustrated because i called them several times. they told me calm down my lady told me they don't do cul-de-sacs because it's less travel. and i called back again and the lady said that's not true. somebody is lying. >> how are you getting home now? >> we'll go down the street to dot backyard. cut through the neighbor's yard. you don't see foot tracks down there. >> and now you're being looking at images from for the washington. we got several calls from neighbors in that area xlee which complaining of their streets also have been forgot ep by prince george county. when we showed up 7:30 plows were hard at work trying to clear that neighborhood. unfortunately, however, for residents here in for the washington, a very different scenario. they're now going on day 5 of being snowed in and they said in 2010 during knowmageddon they were ♪in two weeks.

they're hoping prince george county will be out here. >> reporting live in prince george county marina morocco, "fox5 local news". >> let's hope it does not take that long. >> the wait is on. >> still ahead, you cannot call dibs on parking space us cleared in the snow no matter what you decide to use as place holder. the fines you could face for staking claims phone a parking space. >> and a family that said police held them at gun point during a search warrant execution and it was all a big mistake. >> and donald trump opening up about his decision to skip the fox news debate. what he's saying about megan fox news debate. what he's saying about megan kelly now. pass

buckets, they still remain in the neighborhoods all over town and we talked with one northwest d.c. residents that spent three hours digging out his car. we have his opinion on the subject. >> there's a difference between downtown living and out here in more suburban area living where it's like every house has their own spots really. if you put in the work, you have some sport of moral claim to it. certainly not a legal claim. >> but it also gets tricky. i see what he's saying there. if somebody is coming to one of these neighborhoods trying to park and go to a business, they don't know. they need a spot to park in. so, you know they'll take it and they can actually. so i actually want to show you here the #fox5digout and these are the pictures people sent to us this coming from the coffee shop down the street, save your parking space at blizzard 2016 you see lawn chairs lined up here it looks more like a block

>> it's out there. >> you never have enough time to prepare jim, shawn, depending where you travel around usa could be a danger. mosquito type of forecast here obviously talking about the warmer months. we'll let you know when it mainly peaks for our area and most of the northern sections of country that is may through august. you don't warm up enough to see those mosquitoes until may. however, right here in washington we're right on the bubble with southern states. april to september where they start and i just felt like especially going into warm fall this past sun felt the mosquitoes linger, september, october, even november which was mild. we saw that too. take this is a guideline. obviously the further south you go the earlier in the year the mosquitoes come out. it's warm and moist enough for them. march to october is the time frame for all the gulf coast states even february to november if you get closer to mexico. january not on the map but something to keep in mind as we transition to the warmer months ahead. this is what to expect.

let's toss it back to will, jim, shawn. >> thank you very much, caityln. >> may through august is when we'll all be -- >> something. >> i attract them i don't know if it's call on or vodka sodas but they like you guys, too, right, not just me. >> yep. >> let's tell what you is coming up at 11. giving kids incentive to finish high school one year early. maryland governor is offering students thousands of dollars and there's not much of a catch. that's grand new at 11. also on the way take a look there right in the middle of your screen. incredible footage ever a s falling more than 1,000 feet. get this she's wearing a microphone too and when you see this area hear what she says after she comes to a stop you will think this say miracle and going back to a look at the nightmare xlut for thousands of you. some trying to go a mile or two stuck for an hour or two. it's all coming your way stuck for an hour or two. it's all coming your way tonight at

>> okay. so, last night no refreeze tonight. we're definitely starting to see reports of slipping and sliding out there. >> it won't take long. we're well below freezing with exception of district and annapolis. if you have an area that was wet and was got treated you may have difficulty in the morning and whenever you're out and about. by 10, 1:00 we hope we get above freezing and sounds like schools are out. this will be a big issue. we have not had the big melt with hard refreeze yet and yesterday we had a lot of meeting but never got cold enough to form ice. this will thickening up that snow pack as well and probably make it more difficult to get melting going tomorrow although we'll get some in the afternoo afternoon. our very own mike thomas said wow, very, very slick out there and of course this is what we're seeing and watching for

this in the morning, too. you saw theed is video we were looking at and all these wet areas potentially could be icy tomorrow morning. so you have been warned we're headed for teens and 20s and that's a refreeze. thursday there's a storm off the coast. this is the one that promoted rumors late in the weekend after the blizzard was over and looked like second snow may come. it's well offshore. it might be close enough to southern and eastern communit communities to spraet a light shower in. that is it. afternoon temperatures for us will be above freezing so that's good news to get rid of any ice that remains by late morning and a nition weekend warm-up and a big reduction in snow pack by the time we finish up the weekend. average high temperature 44 degrees. below and tomorrow couple chilly days ahead for us tomorrow only 42. friday 41 and then we start the climb. saturday, 53 and we're thinking it could be 60 now on sunday. that's a new and improved warmer sunday forecast for you.

additional snow maybe brief brushing of shower to the south and you see snow with the frontal boundary. that's going to swing through saturday morning possible we get a few snow showers or flourys with that if it holds together come ago cross the moun taps that is not the same as a clipper. this say front coming through. flurries on friday and another cold shot with afternoon clearing coming in on friday afternoon. check out the "fox5" accuweather 7-day forecast because hello february it's beginning on monday with a temperature of 60. and i want to you rush your groundhog day ceremony plans to completion it's already here. 57 on ground hog day. 57 and leading us into 62 wednesday. but it looks like a rather soggy system coming through town then. first week of february on a warm melt. >> that's weather forecast. let's see what's going on with jim. >> kirk cousins was careful to
