but until that, watch out for ice. across the metro, the white shading represents snow and pink is ice and yellow and orange are heavier rain. it is a hard line to draw who is getting rain and snow but over all you can see the transition from the south. temperatures close to the freezing mark at bwi marshall, it has warmed by one degree, good news. temperatures mid 30's 4 baltimore this afternoon which could change to rain. but north and west of the city i would be careful. if you are a north and west of the city, if you do not have to be on the roads, i would say stay home. >> the other big story. police and anne arundel county investigate a deadly christmas morning shooting inside a store. kim dacey tells us it was part of a break-in and this time the store owner took matters in his own hands. >> police say it all unfolded when an intruder broke into a business and was confronted by the store's owner. christmas morning anne arundel cundiff please investigate the death of 30-year old by rental but chester was found sh

mike was talking about black ice.pablo dam road in contra costa county to black ice, again you want to watch out, elsewhere north bay and east bay valleys, you may see that black ice, slick out there be careful. tu transit is what you have here, bart no delays, muni saturday schedule, no delays. >>> ahead, five things to know before you go. >>> the abc7 morning news >>> here are five things to know before you go: number one, there maybe some movement this morning in congress to try to avoid the fiscal cliff. leaders are offering up to $450,000 in family income before higher taxes kick in. last night they were unable to make a counter offer to republicans, vice president biden was called in to break the ice. "good morning america" will have the latest at 7:00. >> number two, house fire in san francisco sent two to the hospital. two story structure on athens street was well involved by the time firefighters arrived before 1 this morning. a gas main ruptured crews were >> number three, secretary of state clinton, still i

there could be some ice ekreetion. it's a ice storm well north and west of the state. this is today's storm. lauren cook, this is going into saturday's storm and that could bring some snow. we'll talk about that in your seven-day forecast coming up in just a little bit. let's get a check on traffic. good morning, lauren. >>reporter: hello, mike. get those snow suits, right, ready for the weekend? >> yep. >>reporter: everything is inching up from d.c., as mike mentioned. if you are traveling on 95, do be extra careful. here on the northeast corridor here in white marsh, everything moving right along. no problems. it's going to take you just 14 minutes actually to travel southbound from the beltway all the way into the city. and here's what the beltway looks like. in parkville, no problems to report here at hartford road. you are looking at an 11-minute ride right now on the outer loop from 95 all the way up to 83. and conditions will remain nice and normal over on the west side. it's going to take you 11 minutes as well to travel the outer loop from 795 down to 95. that

margins at ice even better.wo companies have very similar numbers when it come to ebidta, you get a higher multiple at ice. did not have an opportunity to talk to both the men behind this deal. jeff spreker runs ice and will be the ceo of the combined company. the ceo of the new york stock exchange will remain in that role and be president of the combined company. haven't come up with a name yet. and cost synergies, about $350 million in new synergies, if you will. i asked where will that money come from and how many job cuts are going to be part of that if. >> we don't need two boards, two auditors. a lot of the corporate costs will fall out as they do in any merger. you're not going to hear us talk about job cuts. it's not about that. >> ice said it maintains its commitment to keep this floor open, this building open. they'll have dual headquarters in atlanta and here as well. it's important having that prosence of cross product groups both here and internationally. not expected to be a problem on the anti-tru

you can see a good look at how many bears on the ice. littered the ice with bears. >> who has to clean that up? >> some of the players chipped in to clean it up. it took 20 minutes to clean up the ice. this is all to benefit the children's miracleal network. they have a bunch of still photos of this. there are some big giant like bears you win like at the carnival on some ring toss or something. that bear is bigger than that kid. >> that is not a bear. i am seeing frogs and i could have sworn i saw a stuffed snake. >> i think it is equal student stuffed animal throwing. perfect time to throw some angry birds. >>> you and i have done our share of partying. >> sure. >> over the years. i don't think either one of us has gone this far. >> all over them bins. >> oh, no. wow. right where he was -- >> right into his own pee. this guy is peeing on trash cans. he goes falling right into his wee wee. they laugh at him but don't go to help him because he is covered in his own urine. you don't want to hang out with that guy for the rest of the night

so you might have some lingering black ice into the early morning hours. surae, i'll tell you more about those gusty winds in tomorrow's forecast coming up. >> thank you, erica. >>> as the end of the year deadline approaches to avoid a series of tax increases and spending cuts that will impact most americans, senate leaders are trying to put together some kind of agreement to avert the so-called fiscal cliff. the senate and house are back in session tomorrow, and a last- ditch effort to make a deal. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell left the capitol tight lipped but smiling after work behind closed doors to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff. >> reporter: did you make progress today, sir? >> reporter: he and harry reid are working on a deal that avoids a middle-class tax hike. the plan is to present it to the full senate for a vote sunday, then sent over to the house. house speaker john boehner was also at the capitol but left with no comment. both sides remain at odds over the democrats' insistence that the rich pay more taxes. obama insists his plan

ice storm. wicked qu-qu-qu queen. wicked queen? hmm.house and become friends. morning because my back hurt so bad. the sleep number bed conforms to you. i wake up in the morning with no back pain. i can adjust it if i need to...if my back's a little more sore. and by the time i get up in the morning, i feel great! if you have back pain, toss and turn at night or wake up tired with no energy, the sleep number bed could be your solution. the sleep number bed's secret is it's air chambers which provide ideal support and put you in control of the firmness. and the bed is perfect for couples because each side adjusts independently to their unique sleep number. here's what clinical research has found: ® 93% of participants experienced back-pain relief. ® 90% reported reduced aches and pains. ® 87% fell asleep faster and enjoyed more deep sleep. for study summaries, call this number now. we'll include a free dvd and brochure about the sleep number bed including prices, and models plus a free $50 savings card. and how about this? steel springs

still an ice situation toward the north and west. we'll break down the details, show you some numbers coming up in a little bit. we'll get a check on the traffic over with lauren cook. >>reporter: good morning, mike. all that wintery mix will make the roads slick. no delays in white marsh, 95, nice and clear from route 43 all the way into it the city. if you are traveling on the beltway this morning, no delays from parkville all the way up to towson. as we check in and take a live look at the west side at liberty road, traffic moving right along, no problems getting down to route 40 or if you are traveling the inner loop up through pikesville. as we head up to hunt valley, here's what 83 looks like, nice and clear from schwann road down to the beltway. megan and charley, over to you. >>> you can count december 26th as one of the most hectic travel day of the year. millions will be saying saying good-bye to loved ones and heading home today. getting home could take longer than anticipated because of some nasty weather out there across

>>ice melt, salt. i'm looking for it to freeze tonight. >> we will take a closer look in the next half-hour. lawmakers cannot afford to spend anymore time worrying about the weather. >> all eyes will be on the senate after house republicans said it is up to their leaders to reach a deal. danielle leigh has more. >> as president obama leaves hawaii for washington, tension on capitol hill is on high. >> i don't see how you could handle a large plant involving tax reform in a matter of days. >> serious doubt is setting in. even starbucks is getting involved. john boehner said he is sitting this round out. >> i think that john boehner is being controlled unfortunately by the right wing pickwick that leaves it up to harry reid and the rest of the senate to find a solution. the plan would avoid tax increases and would eliminate some big spending cuts and restore unemployment benefits. >> you are likely to see a two- step process. >> without a deal, bush era tax cuts will expire on january 1. congress set up

i went ice fishing and carved a hole. carved a hole in the ice. >> catch anything? >> yeah, we did.d to an amazing story. >>> and finally this half hour, you're starting to see christmas trees piled on the sidewalk waiting for the garbage truck. >> a farmer in rhode island came up with a great way to recycle those trees. the farm's 50 goats have apparently taken to liking pine needles. >> really? it's like swallowing needles. >> i know. it doesn't sound like it would taste good, each for a goat. but there they go, drop off the tree and it's a holiday treat for the goats. the animals have already eaten just about everything in sight, so it's a treat for them. >> so all the goat milk is going to taste like pine. so all the goat milk is going to taste like pine.

the breaking away of ice from a glacier.hat you're seeing is the largest iceberg breaking away film. >> spectacular and cool to see but i'm concerned. >> the goal behind the film is to showcase global warming. >> imagine manhattan, all those buildings start to rumble and quake and peel off and just fall over and fall over and roll around. >> these pieces of glacier, they're 300 feet tall. this piece of ice that's coming out of the water comes out and is 600 feet tall. >> how do they know to be there? >> they were in this area for quite some time before this actually happened. when this trailer picks up you hear the guy behind the camera calling james saying -- >> it's going well. we had serious bouts of wind but other than that things are fairly well set up here. >> and then you hear one of his partners. >> starting -- >> call him back. >> go to the "chasing ice" website, you can see just how big some of these areas are. there's a little guy standing on the edge of one of these glac r glaciers. it is set to be released in se

so we do have some understanding of ics. our challenge is to become more familiar with the ics system so we're more fopl when we get into a system to support that. there are planners that get that training but we need to take it a level down so the lno's that are going to go to the incident command post also have a lot of ics experience. we had enough to get by so when they did call an objective meeting or a tactics meeting, we knew what he was talking about. when he was developing an action plan, we understood that, but we could have benefited more and we take this on board, too, to get more people trained up at that next level down. >> from my experience as the exercise, i would agree with everybody here. the first thing we have to do is understand, to understand what the priorities are so the first thing we need is an orientation. not just a map orientation, although that's very helpful, we're not that familiar with san francisco, where the hospitals are, where the priority routes are, but we also need a quick orientation

in fact, that's where the ice is found.he other interesting thing is the the ice is covered by a little layer of organic material. that's probably because the ice was probably delivered by comets, the same way the water on earth was probably delivered to earth. that makes it interesting because you have water and organic material. it's not the best place to look for life. you wouldn't want to choose mercury over any other place. what it means is even the most extreme environment in the solar system, mercury, which goes from this incredible heat to this incredible cold, has water and organic material. it means that as we look for life in the universe, even in the most extreme environments we may find the basic building blocks. >> so does this ice on mercury actually change, you know, what we know and what we think about for the formation of the rocky planets? >> it means our supposition about what might be possible are there. basically, anything that's possible happens. i think, you know, it's not a huge surprise that there'

i got to warn you i'm a really bad ice skater. you my want to tell everybody else to get off the risk. >> not only do we have monitors to take care of you, we have lessons and qualified instructors to help you. >> see, someone to hold your hand the whole time. le time. >> how do you guys keep the ice frozen when temperatures warm up above freeze something. >> well, not simply but below the rink at washington harbor, it is 11,800 square feet. there are approximately seven miles of tubing which takes a brine solution and chills it underneath and that is all pumped back into a fridge ration plant which removes the heat, cools it down and repumps it back. so beneath the icy sheet you see in 56-degree weather is a vast refrigeration system that keeps things cold and keeps the ice frozen. >> so, tom, when the temperature dips below freezing, do you have to keep the system going or are you able to save money at that point? >> we keep the system going all the time because it is a continue with us loop so we don't want to stall it. but it

>> ice skating. >> ice skating. >> you could see the remains of the pool. i thought the ice rink was made out of one of the largest pools. >> yes. you can see the ell that goes around. they tried to make it a tropical beach theme. they had a bunch of sand. like you could not go to the beach 40 feet away. >> it did burn down. it seems like it would have been a wonderful resource for the city to purchase it and rebuild it -- >> you could never afford the money to rebuild it. >> there were efforts to try to keep it. someone tried to sell it to the city in the 1950's. they kept it going with the ice skating rink. it closed and it looked bad. people thought we should buy it and keep it. other people wanted to put condos in there. a serious fire started and the whole place burn down. they still talk about it as a mysterious fire. it could have been an insurance thing. >> hello, gladys. was glad to hear from you and not going to return. will write in a few days. >> that is a bath and the house behind. >> you can see the chimney heating that area. >> a pool opened

the ice.port on the dramatic rescues. >> reporter: the video camera michelle herman got as a christmas present captured it all. >> that's not funny. >> reporter: christmas day a man on a sled came down on a hill and fell through thin ice of jackson lake. then one after another those who tried to save him fell in. >> it turned in to a disaster. a panic. people falling in. people trying to save him then trying to save themselves. >> give me the rope from under the seat now. >> reporter: that's the voice of michelle's husband. >> i undid the rope. threw it out. it's a 25-foot rope but seven feet short. at that point we noticed this guy didn't know how to swim. we observed him go under three times. >> call 911 right now. >> reporter: more people went on to that fragile ice including children. then another rope attempt. another one in and then the man who tries to save him as well. inner tubes and sleds. finally -- >> get it. come on. go! >> reporter: rope to pull them to shore. >> in southern cali
