we have this sweet spot in here to the north and west of d.c. where we have the greatest potential of seeing 8-10 inches. some of these numbers might be a little bit overdone. keep that in mind. cold air is in so everything that hits will stick. we have a very high snow-to-liquid ratio. temperatures are froze until we get snow. this time around we're talking a 15-1 ratio. maybe a 20-1 ratio. that is why it is tough to predict some of these numbers. a big impact for the evening commute. forecast today, snow, windy, falling temperatures in the twenty. wind chills in the teens to single digits. tonight snow ending and clearing overnight. these are our morning temperatures tomorrow. zero to 10 above. that 10 is just going to be in the city. tomorrow in the teens for highs and continue breezy. the winds diminish a little bit tomorrow afternoon. look at the temperatures for the rest of the workweek. staying below freezing. staying cooler than average. let's get the latest on that wreck that we had overnight from amanda meadows. >> thank you. we have a

some clouds out in the mountains but we've got clear skies and breezy conditions and there's the windchill advisory. in fact it's been expanded this morning. it was north and west of d.c.. now covering down through southern maryland. parts of the eastern shore. the northern neck as well. so just about everybody dealing with the windchills which are way down. temps, they're way down too. andrews is 10. gaithersburg is 3. although this is several decks warmer than yesterday thanks to the winds mixing up the atmosphere with 6 in hagerstown and 2 in cumberland and that's a 4 below in oakland with a windchill of 20 below out there. feels like 4 below in fredericksburg and 10 below up in frederick and 4 above at the moment in washington. looking at our michael & son weather camera great visibility. 13. well it had some winds earlier. another report came in with calm so the winds have been variable at reagan national and humidity at 45%. inside the house shock alert. you know this is such a dry air mass anif you're not using the humidifier, you have the carpet and doorknob, just get the shocking and static electricity. big ridge out west. you know temperatures in anchorage a

and 28-mile-an-hour winds in d.c. and 18 fredericksburg, and that is why we have a harsh windchill, and that is why we have the windchill advisory in effect to the areas north and west. it does include d.c. and loudoun county and everybody out to the west to i-85, and the blue ridge and 5 to 10 below zero the night and in through tomorrow morning and even those areas not in the advisory, and you know it is going to be cold there, too. and the radar is showing the light snow showers coming through, and this is one of the systems, one of the clippers, the many clippers moving through our region. this one bringing the snowshowers through parts of pennsylvania and accumulation into the mountains of pennsylvania, but that is it. how about the cold? yeah, call it what it is. the polar express, and a lot of the cold air coming from the poles, and a lot more cold air to come, and coming straight down from canada, and nothing to stop it, storm after storm bringing it down and reinforcing the cold that we have in the region, and nothing to stop it or nothing to move it out eit r either. that means that we are in it, at least for another 7 to 10 days. take a look at the number

and this has dropped the temperatures drastically. take a look at this, 54 in d.c. and dulles at 56 and 41 back the leesburg and much closer to the north and the westnd near 60 to fredericksburg, and now, however, the wind has moved in and the wind chill is down to 6 in d.c. and 7 in hagerstown, and now it is feeling close to 20 in manassas. so as far as the windchill advisory, it is along with everybody on i-95, and everybody in prince george's county and

in d.c., five in gaithersburg. at 7:00 a.m., a windchill below five in d.c. and near zero to the north and west. we are talking the coldest air we have seen in quite some time. that's not the first shot. we have another shot we will talk about later. >> if you see snowfalling across the area, make sure you get on twitter and send your reports. in a couple minutes, i'll be back to show you how much snow we are expecting across the entire area in your neighborhood and look at the impact on area roads. >> we'll check back in a bit. thank you both. millions of people will be impacted by the storm. here is a live look at the traffic picture in massachusetts. this is just south of boston. the storm is expected to bring a foot of snow to the boston region. getting around will be trickier for drivers and pedestrians, too. strong winds will be a big factor there. this was the scene in chicago where the storm hit overnight. roads and sidewalks covered with snow and ice making it tricky for pedestrians and drivers there. more snow is on the way for those in chicago. a lake-effect snow warning is in effect f

north and west of washington. here's a look at what you could expect for that commute early tuesday morning as far as windchill temperatures are concerned. again, feeling about 15 below in d.c. and 30 below potentially. that would be the coldest for areas to the north and west. a windchill watch is in effect for areas to the west of washington. i'll be taking a look at that coming up in about 15 minutes. and before the cold arrives, erika, we're talking about rain and fog for that morning commute tomorrow. all the details in 15 minutes. >>> a live look at reagan national tonight where dozens of flights in and out of d.c. were canceled today and also major backups at jfk and new york after a plane skidded off an icy runway. more than 3,000 flights war canceled nationwide today. many of them in new york, philadelphia, and chicago. jetblue says it will waive change and cancelation fees for customers who traveled between last thursday and tomorrow. michigan is expected to see its harshest winter conditions in 20 years during this cold snap. the national weather service has issued a winter storm warning for detroit and southeast michigan through tomorrow. the freezing temperatur

north and west of the district. we have a brief warming trend on the way and then get ready. some of the coldest weather we have seen in d.c. and 20 years. that is the seven-day outlook. our team coverage continues with the d.c. bureau chief sam ford live in northwest washington. -- sam?ark >> northwest d.c. under a hypothermia alert tonight. we are outside the martin luther king library. every year a city contracted man rounds up homeless people to take them to shelters. they expect more passengers than usual because of the plunging temperatures that came with last night's storm. break froma daytime the extreme cold which came in with last night's snowstorm. a huge tree collapsed, burying one woman's car and knocking out the power to much of the neighborhood. his wife heard it. -- shesaid something woke me up. stay at a going to friends house. >> got to get out to get some wi-fi, got to get out to a phone charger. to work.ot going >> are you freezing? >> it is f freezin >> the biggest problem though was the cold. particularly for the homeless. >> it is freezing cold. >> he is among those who stayed at the central mission

north and west of the d.c. metro area. this has led to an ice storm warning for parts of our area including loudoun county in virginia and frederick county, maryland. storm team four meteorologist amelia segal is joining us tonight. how long is this warning supposed to last? >> the ice storm warning will go until 9:00 p.m. this includes leesburg, frederick, westminster and hagerstown. in addition to that a freezing rain advisory still in effect for areas in pink including montgomery and northern fauquier counties. this freezing rain advisory expires at 7:00 p.m. for northern frerk and montgomery county. further counties to the north the freezing rain advisory will expire at 9:00. then a wind chill watch goes into effect 6:00 p.m. through noon tuesday for wind chills as low as 20 to 30 degrees below zero. on storm team 4 radar i'm continuing to track scattered rain with pockets of freezing rain. again this freezing rain lasts until about 9:00 p.m. tonight. more rain headed our way tomorrow. i'll be timing out the rain and the big temperature drop in about 15 minutes, erica. >> road crews were out early this morning in d.c., marylan

north and west. when chill factor will be the big story will stop it feels 13 in-5 in d.c., - winchester and fredericksburg, good morning to my feels like - 2. windchill advisory in effect until noon today. it will stay bitterly cold all day long. the winds will improve, so watch for that to get better in the afternoon hours. we will see less drifting of the snow. it will stay cold all week long with no sign on the way. you want to bundle up this morning. spring to seer how it feels and how would need to dress. >> it feels pretty cold. looking at those numbers, it is 9 in downtown this morning. if will want to bundle up you're heading outside. i've seen a lot of crews out here working early this morning. a big hats off to so many hard workers who have been working around the clock. while you were in bed last night, they were still working on the roads. for those who are shoveling, at least it is a very fluffy snow. that is at least some good news. you really want to take extra caution as you are getting out this morning and cleaning off your cars. 9 degrees. as far as the roads go, you can look behind me.

snow. 21 degrees in new york city, that's why it's sticking on all the roads and sidewalks, 25 in philly. more wet, slushy stuff in d.c., temperature at 34. bands have set up north and westltimore and d.c., they are trying to move over the downtown area, so it looks like your time is running out for roads not being significantly impacted. if you have to do last-minute errands, do so in a hurry. six to ten inches now to about midnight, d.c., baltimore, philadelphia, new york city that snow will be ending around 2:00 a.m. out on boston, not until 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. doesn't move far inland, the storm is off the coast, so that's good. the big thing people will be complaining about really isn't the snow, it's the wind chill up to minus 20 tomorrow morning when you're trying to snow blow or shovel that people won't like and you may have to get kids to school and to work after the storm. i think philadelphia, as far as the big city, has the best chance of a foot of snow. new york and boston, somewhere around eight inches, baltimore around eight. d.c., right around six. chris, a taste of what's to come, do you like snow or the cold, what's worst? >> the cold. >> cold, definitel

d.c. north and east and another batch in west virginia. chief meteorologist topper shutt and i will break it down for you. >>> right now we have baltimore native mesa is here. she is headed to the grammys. >> yes. >> wow. more than two decades in the business and this is your first grammy nomination. for what song and what's the title of the cd? >> the title is "blue velvet soul" and it's a remake of nancy wilson's big hit. >> you must have been over the moon when you got the phone call? >> the executive director of the chapter here in d.c. called me. when i saw her name on the phone, it didn't register why she was calling me. when she said i just want to call you and let you know you were nominated for a grammy, i don't think i heard anything. i was screaming so loud. the kids came runso find out what's going on. >> you're dedicated to your craft obviously because your voice is just amazing. >> thank you. >> but did you ever think this probably is not going to be for me and my career? it's 22 years and now you get your first one. did you

massachusetts, in particular cape cod, the islands as that area of snow starts to surge its way up from the southwest. but north and west of boston, it's over. new york city, philadelphia, washington, d.c., and down towards norfolk it's over. believe it or not, around norfolk, virginia, we had about 4 inches of snow. that's crazy. now, here in the northeast, the winds are starting to ramp up near the coast as the storm intensifies. these are recent wind gusts anywhere from 20 to 40 miles an hour. so, when you combine that with some pretty chilly arctic air, well, we're looking at some low realfeel temperatures. currently in boston, it's 11. new york is 12 and d.c., 13. so that snow has been light and fluffy, so if you like to make snowball, it's kind of hard to do that. you'll certainly have to bundle up for the morning hours. it's cold out there. look at those realfeel temperatures, well below zero. and guess what, it does look like this cold pattern will continue for awhile, so the storm pulls out. brisk winds, especially near the coast, there will be blowing, drifting snow, and that will make it hard to keep those roadways clear. now back to you guys. >> all right, accuweather's mar

north and west is where we have cloud cover beginning to increase. the clouds will increase overnight. eventually, we will see freezing rain develop west of the seat -- d.c. we have a freezing rain advisory set to go in effect on sunday morning. the further south and west you go, that freezing rain advisory starts at 2:00 in the morning. we could see slick roads through the early morning. temperatures are going to rebound through the daytime and especially tomorrow night. this evening, no problems. temperatures will fall into the 20's. we will see freezing rain begin in the early morning hours. what to expect for the rest of the weekend and the best of the work week? i have a feeling some schools will be canceled in the seven day outlook. >> it is hard enough to deal with the cold walking from your car or to your car, but imagine working outside in these frigid temperatures. richard spoke with some vendors and is live. >> the sun was out today. it did not make a lot of difference. yesterday, we had single-digit temperatures. today, in the 20's. a lot of people have to work today. everyone has a special technique to keep warm. the sun might be shining. >> this is just another spring day. d.c.t it is c

north and west of d.c. we have got the snow that will stick on the ground for quite a while now. see from the satellite. it is like taking a snapshot in space. everything white reflects back, so all that white that you see if the snow cover across our area. what i want to point out that is really cool on this satellite picture is streaks of snow here coming in, this is what we would call they affect snow showers. so there is a line of snow that develops because the water is warmer than the air, and that cold air blows over the warmer water, just like lake-effect snow. it happens across the great lakes. kind of a cool weather. snowfall, dulles airport at 8.5 inches, reagan national at 3.8 inches, but the have your amounts inside the district, including the national zoo, that panda got seven inches of snow. bwi, this is an updated number, by the way, this is a record, too, at 5.1 inches. old record, blown away with 2 inches back in 1982. across the region, feel pretty good about the verification on this forecast was op-ed may be overdone into the southeast, but this is really expecting be heavier bands. 8.5 in leesburg, 8 in damascus. b

in the d.c. area, we're expecting 3 to of inches of snow. the further west you get out in western maryland and pennsylvania, west virginia and working your way northup to 10 inches of snow as the hardest part of the snowfall or the biggest portion of the snowfall really hits this afternoon and into the rush hour. so interestingly, about three or four years ago we had a big snow in the d.c. area hitting about the same time. the hardest part of the snow coming in the late afternoon. that's just when they released everybody from work early. so we had tens of thousands of people stuck on area roads in the d.c. area just as this blizzard hit. and people were stuck for literally six to eight hours going nowhere. this time the federal government and the local city and state governments are closed today. schools are out. many businesses have said don't bother coming in so we have far fewer people on the roads today and of course this comes one day after the mlk holiday here in washington in which it was nearly 60 degrees yesterday. folks outside in t shirts and playing frisbee. this is the kind of story that you as an anchor should be out here with me exp

north and the west around this area to 81. it does not include d.c. or parts of southern maryland, but it does not matter, because it is cold, too, with the windchill around 5 below. so in our area, you will be on the cold side, but around 10 rightle up, and take precaution. earlier today, we saw some snowshowers near the olney area, and this one was moving through rapidly, and a few of us saw the snowshowers through the region, and speaking of more to come, speaking of the cold air, the polar express has been on and turned on and the jet stream is dipping way down to the south, and all of the way to florida and that opens up the arctic and the polls and even though it is cold, you continue to get reinforcing shots of cold throughout the day and throughout the next week or so, and that is the pattern setting up across our region with little chances for snow across the area, too. 22 for the high tomorrow the, and the windchill is 10 in the day tomorrow, and cold friday. 36 on saturday and the winds are going to be gusting upwards to 30 or 40 miles per hour, and saturday is blustery day, and better chance for snow on saturday, age right no gnd righ a light accumulation, m

in northwest d.c. at the wusa9 ice desk. our trusty thermometer reading about 12 degrees here. some of you are closer to zero north and westup. as far as our forecast today, day planner calling for mpshowers through midday. highs in the mid to perhaps upper 20s. yesterday we got to 19 at national. 15 in baltimore and dulles. all three were record low highs for the day. a patch of clouds overnight. that's pulled into the atlantic. now we've cleared out. you'll notice the snow showers back in west virginia. this disturbance in pittsburgh will be coming through here later this morning with a threat for the flurries and snow showers. 9 degrees in pittsburgh and columbus. 5 in williamsport to 20 in roanoke and two in ocean city. locally we are subzero now. lovettsville 2 below. germantown and damascus 2 above. it's fallen to zero at manassas airport. 8 waldorf. 5 andrews. what a difference it is to be by the water where annapolis is 11 and reagan national with the heat of the potomac and all the urban effect holding at 15 degrees. regardless, a frigid morning. clear skies on our michael & son weather camera. looking good there.

but looking at the snow forecast, 2 to 4 in the forecast and not a big one here, but 4 to 7 around the d.c. metro area, and 7 to 10 back to the north and the west and parts of montgomery kocount we have upwards to 7 inches verified there. so let's talk about the next couple of days and we will show you where we are. 15 on wednesday, and 24 on thursday, and 23 on friday, and then we get to 36, and that is the warmest temperature of the next seven days, and coming up at 6:00, we will show you the seven-day forecast which includes, guess what? more snow. thank you, doug. metro has had to make some changes because of the snowstorm, and for that we check in with mark segraves at the grove station there in bethesda with the conditions out there. how is it, mark? >> well, it is windy and snowy out here. let me give you an idea of how much has accumulated here in rockville, it is an inch or two inches accumulating on the newspaper boxes. this is what metro tells me. this is the metro tracks down there, and they say that the rail service has not been impacted by the snow, and it won't be. there has to be at least eight inches accumulated on the tracks f

north-west and midwest it is not expected to go above zero. minneapolis faces a bitter 15 degrees. the mercury in chicago is expected to plummet. in washington d.c. temperatures are low and in new york it's an ice-cold 4 degrees, and that is where we find erica live for us in bryant park. >> good morning. in the upper midwest and across the north-east, road travel is getting back to normal. the ice and freezing temperatures are expected to stick around. >> the winter storm that dumped up to 2 feet in some parts of the north-east is gone. the mounds of snow and arctic temperatures remain. millions of americans are cleaning up. bundling up and bracing for what is expected to be some of the coldest weather in years. >> it's a nightmare out there, it's really cold. the winds are brutal. >> i have eight layers on. >> the bitter cold textures in the north-east and mid-atlantic states is no laughing matter. frost bite and hypothermia are a real threat. the blizzard-like conditions left 15 people dead. in new york city the new mayor, three days on the job, is asking anyone who may see a homeless person in the freezing temperatures to call the emergency

today as the colder air moves in and winter storm watches from north virginia and west virginia up i-95. the snow will begin tuesday morning during the mid-morning especially d.c., philadelphia, and ending late tuesday night. a lot of people will be shoveling probably before they go to bed tuesday night and once again maybe early wednesday morning out there on cape cod and long island. snow totals this isn't a huge snowstorm but that white shows the potential for 3 to 6 and maybe a little more than that out on cape cod and possibly out on extreme eastern long island. my snow totals look like this for tomorrow's storm. cape cod 6 to 12 and long island 4 to 8 and d.c. and baltimore and philadelphialy 3 to 6 and less than that in new york city. it's very cold so the roads will be very slippery and all of that snow will be sticking. you're watching "morning joe." ♪ ♪ monday morning it was all i. hoped it it would be ♪ [ male announcer ] this is the story of the little room over the pizza place on chestnut street the modest first floor bedroom in tallinn, estonia and the southbound bus barreling down i-95. ♪ this magic moment it is the story of where every great id
