most schools in the area are either closed or delayed. many of them closed. the federal government opening late. and again we're not the only ones feeling the effects the snow has been falling from florida to new england. that means major travel delays all across the east coast. so far thousands of flights have been canceled. amtrak service has been canceled or delayed on the northeast corridor. >> we have live team coverage this morning across the region. corey coffin is in ocean city the hardest hit. bob checking conditions around the eastern shore, annie down in saint mary's county and mike is in old town. then there's melanie, too. melanie is making her way around montgomery county. first though we'll go live to tucker because he's got more on the storm's track, snow totals, wind chills that are coming our way. tucker the snow might be ending but the storm is far from over, right. >> you got that right. in fact winds will become the big story. throats snow totals first. if we flip the prompter. hug after the show either way. let's do snow totals first. takoma park half inch. california, maryland, 4-inches and alexandria 1

the beltway we're approaching an inch. further east you get into prince george's county and then out towards the bay it's more like approaching 2-inches and then southern maryland three or 4-inches. so snow totals pretty much on par with what we were expecting early this morning which is great news. 25 now in washington. snow is tapering off here in the city. do want to talk about wind chills. look at that wind north northwest at 25, 26 miles an hour and it feels like nine. unfortunately the feels like the wind chill is going to be feeling like zero maybe minus five, minus ten later today and tonight. we have a wind chill advisory. there's your snow. you can see it tapering off. we are trying to get one little burst dwelling off to our south and west you may get a few more snow showers and snowflakes here in the city and then as we look east here this whole area of snowiness, that's in the a technical term. whole area of precipitation known will continue to march to the east and things will gradually taper off to few flurries by late morning lat

what will not taper off the winds will continue to howl out of the north and north and west as we watch our storm really wrap up. there's the center of circulation much this guy is developing very very rapidly we call it bombo genesis because of that rapid intensification. what that means is, there's lot of wind available and a lot of moisture and you can see all of that being translated along thee states here. we got blizzard warnings for most parts of new jersey as you get into up new england up towards boston maine where the worst and heaviest of the snow will be. looking at a foot plus up there. we're going to be look at a lot of wind. we'll get sunshine this afternoon, but we'll have a lot of wind. quickly want to show you wind chill adviser f you're going out today, it is not going to be a warm afternoon. it's going to feel like zero or negative five, negative ten with those winds blowing this afternoon make sure if you're going out to sweep the driveway or do little shoveling that you are ready for cold afternoon guys. coming up just a minute. i want to mention the very cold temperatures tonight. with that snow cover, even here in the city, we may have single digits for the weekend. so make sure the furnace is working here we're in for

the plows come through the wind just comes back and dump another layer out on to the roadways. thankfully with our truck we've been ail to get through. but we had to be inside for this live shot right now because our camera is frozen at this moment. i mean the conditions outside are just continuing with whipping wind and the icy -- thank you with the icy cond conditions just through the air it's really making things difficult for visibility. so we've noticed that a lot of people we're hearing first responders getting calls or to a lot of people stuck on the roadways. if you don't have to be on the roadways, try to be off them and try to stay safe out there because of course we've got our first responders who are coming out and risking their own safety as well to help these folks out. guys? >> corey, thank you for that. you stay save yourself it's been treacherous out there in ocean city. equally as bad to some degrees saint mary's county annie has been surveying the scene all morning. annie, it does look more calm behind you but ick still see the plows on the roads covered with snow. qu

streets with businesses on them like duke street we just passed. this is prince street that goes vertical here up and down. that's a little bit more clear. so they seem to be starting with the business routes and then moving and to the side streets to get things clear. one thing i absolutely want to stress here that temperatures are going to be dropping tonight in big way. any slush that's kind of left on the street here like this is going to be freeze over rather quick. you'll want to keep that in mind for your sidewalks. you look up and down the street here, residential neighborhoods here in old town alexandria so the sidewalks all covered here. you'll want to clear these off before tonight. because this nice fluffy snow not too hard to move one we get to the evening it will freeze over in big way an lot harder time clearing things because temperatures for most of our neighborhoods not expected to make it out of the teens until we get to sunday afternoon and for some maybe not even until monday afternoon. you notice the flags blowing in the wind here. we just had a gust reagan national which isn't too far up the road 33

wind chill currently sits at 9 degrees. it could be negative 9 degrees by the time we get to free day morning. we've already stressed this. self school districts have already announced they're going to delay tomorrow. prince george's county is one them on two hour delay for friday already due to the extreme cold. as a anne arundel county in mary. i expect that those had pos possiblely be expanded because we do tend to close -- not close but we do tend to delay around here for cold weather. it's been a few years since we've had wind chills at the levels that we're going to see around the region early tomorrow morning much that's the latest here, guys. cleanup getting under way. no more snow is falling right now down here in old town. so, yeah, clean up is underway. watch out for the big freeze tonight. all right. that's the latest from northern virginia. let's send it to melanie alnwick who is in maryland in prince george's county this morning. mel, how things looking up that? >> reporter: hey i got to till, mike, things are looking honestly really really good. we were in montgomery county -- prince george's county. we went to montgomery county, then back to prince george's county and just a

bit of howard counsel tear here until we head east toward laurel see how things are doing there. the worse of it that we saw in all of our travels today was really in the bowie area. once we got into laurel things seemed to be all right and montgomery county looked great by my estimation. even montgomery county did put a snow emergency plan into effect, most of their main roads right now are black pavement. so as you can see here, that's the situation. we're also seeing here right on the border of howard county and prince george's county look at this. really no problems out here on this part of the roadway. it was a little bit dicier early this morning, and, you know, lot of parents wondering, gosh, did they really need to close the schools maybe a two hour delay would have been sufficient? but i know that they always take into consideration what they consider to be the most severe conditions in the entire county. just to make sure that everyone is

they are still having to do some work on the sidewalks and the driveways and the parking lots as well. so that may be one of the things that was taken into consideration when it came to some of the closures. but i know that the road crews have been out we saw them plowing earlier this morning really nothing to plow more kind of pushing some of it out of the way and now, though, it is plows up. it really is just down to salting and sanding some of those spots perhaps it may have frozen over again and i think that's really where we're going to fine the issue is as you get to those refreezes overnight any of this stuff that doesn't dry up during the day and probably will not that's what we'll have the trouble where this roads are slushy then that's going to be icy conditions. but i got to say at least here 9:00 o'clock this morning we've been on the road since 3:00am and this the best we've seen it since we've been going. so looks like we've done a giant loop around and i got to say from our perspective things looking really g

in northwest d.c. the latest on our winds want it feels like out there. you look great. how is it feeling. >> i don't think so. it's like this the whole time. tucker, now that we're out here daylight we can kind of assess what's going on. i'm not so much worried about people driving on wisconsin more the people walking. it is very tough to be outside with the winds and the cold. so obviously snow is less of an issue right now. the sidewalks primarily are fine. you know, d.c. they salted, they got the roads ready, they treated. tonight might be a concern because of anything freezing over. however, one way that the wind works in your benefit is that it dries out pavements and dries out the roads super fast. when you have winds gusting over 30 miles an hour as we do right now, you've got pretty much dry roads and so that will help prevent a lot of the freezing for the overnight hours. because even though do you have some of those puddles right along the curb side there, yes, that could freeze, you can have slippery spots. that's an issue, of course, your first steps out the door and everything but the roads are

and wind will continue to dry them through today and into the overnight. now, being outside as a humanity wind is not pleasant. winds gusting over 30 miles an hour. wind chills right now in the single digits but wind chill advisory will take effect for the whole area at 10:00 o'clock tonight. as we get into the overnight hours you'll see the wind chill levels drop below zero. we've had several days of that earlier this week, but it's going to be even colder i think by this time tomorrow morning where we're talking about wind chills on the order of ten below zero plus. or minus. depend how you look at that. so as we go through the rest of the day it's turning. more wind and the cold. that's the latest out here. tucker i'll send it back to you in studio. >> let's show the show. starting to fill back in again. not quite done with it the last of it though. ing see the western edge still snowing off to the east and to the south we checked in with annie down in southern maryland. still slowing snowing pretty good down there and across the bay. this whole event will wind down for us pretty quick we'll start to get clearing skies later this afteoo

inland friends when we get them. now they're calling in for the help they're cashing in their favors and all of the plows that can't be in this area are currently in this area. all right. we'll send it back to you guys in the studio. before i get blown over. over. bob barnard is up around 50. fortunately bob i don't know if you can see what corey is dealing with. imagine what you're seeing right now and add in 60 miles an hour wind and not being able to see anything in front of you. all that snow just whipping around everywhere. >> reporter: i feel for she is the employee of the day. so my hat is off to her. >>un
