here in d.c. we'll be in the mid-30s by 9:00. still by 9:00 some pockets at 32 or less.erally a much better day once we get to mid- to late morning. upper 30s with the rain showers winding down. this afternoon can't rule out a peek of sunshine. lingering showers this afternoon i think will be south and east ever the district with winds turning to the southwest only about 5 miles an hour or so and highs in the upper 30s to low 40s. but we still have winter weather advisories to our south, southern maryland, down through parts ever the northern neck -- of the northern neck till 7:00 a.m. the winter storm warnings got expanded yesterday afternoon to cover the d.c. metro and areas west of i-95. that's until 10:00 a.m. again the main threat to in some light freezing rain which we've been watching once we had the burst of snow. yesterday areas up north, some had 8 inches of snow. what happened is we had a heavy band of snow which came out of west virginia just to our north. the snow rates were 1 to 2 inches per hour. it was coming down fast and furiously. folks who got in unde

be outside. this weekend, the system on saturday, we're talking about a wintry mix. doesn't look so bad in d.c. f you're going to be in the mountains, pennsylvania, there will be snow up that way. maybe just a hair before it switches over here in washington. nice and sunny on our michael & son weather camera today but cold. only the low 3 30z -- low 30z. -- low 3w0z. right now 3 -- 30s. right now 32. may get to 33. we do have the winds. they will get lighter this afternoon. the visual satellite image, we have the clouds pulling away. this is kind of neat. i was looking at this a moment ago. you see all this here in fauquier county, loudoun county, upper montgomery. all of this that's not moving, this is snow pack on the ground there through philadelphia as well, the blue ridge, back down through the shenandoah valley we're seeing that nice, white snow pack. the winds have been gusting over 20 miles an hour at times. winchester 22. washington at 20. gusting to 20 at bwi. so that's kind of adding a little insult to injury on these very cold temperatures on this thursday afternoon which are only in

so the warm air will be in place in d.c., too. the cold air under cuts the warm air and it tries to rain through. if you're on this part of the storm, you get freezing rain and sleet. it's the stuff that comes down and freezes on the ground. it just covers everything up. if you're little farther where the air is thicker cold, it will come down as an ice pellet. you'll hear that hit the window or you and farther to the north there, that will be snow not for a long time but can you imagine 5 or 6 degrees and icy conditions in dallas? >>> it's been almost a year since the sandy hook shootings. 911 recordings have been public. ordinary people doing their best to save lives in the middle of the worst situation anyone can imagine. this net work is careful about playing portions. debra has listened to them all and joins us. what stands out? >> how police dispatchers responded to this. they were very professional. their training really kicked in. the main dispatcher notified his supervisor immediately, a sergeant and had all police office

as the place where all of the decisions will be made and the solutions -- they will not be found in washington, d.c. nine they will be found in capitals where governors like john and mary and myself and paul lapage -- i mean, that is where the solutions that are going to face americans. frankly, we don't need to talk negative about the president of the united states. he has taken care of that pretty much on his own with his health care program. but what are the alternatives? i happen to think that the alternatives are not one-size- fits-all, that washington all too often wants to impose upon us, but allow the innovators in ohio, allowed the innovators in oklahoma -- i believe that a blue state governor has got to feel that they can put health care plans in their state together better than some bureaucrat in washington, d.c. talking to people's hearts is that messaging part of it, whether it is dealing with immigration, which i will suggest to you as an aside that the immigration debate will change substantially in the next 18 to 24 months especially if mexico is successful in liberalizing their oil

d.c. for the i would say sunday night kind of arena. the warm air is already in place in dallas. the warm air is going to be in place in d.c., too. the cold air undercuts the warm air. and then all of a sudden it tries to rain through. so if you're on this part of the storm, you're going to get freezing rain and sleet. which means it's the stuff that it comes down and it freezes on the ground and just covers egg up. if you're a little bit farther where the air is thicker cold it will come down as an ice pellet. you'll be able to hear that hit the window or hit you. farther to the north of there, that will be snow. not for a long time. but can you imagine just even five or six hours' worth of slightly icy conditions in d.c. on a sunday night? that would slow everything to a stop. >> chad, thanks very much. >>> almost a year since a gunman killed 20 children and six staffers at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, connecticut. 911 calls have been revealed. this network's been very careful about playing portions of the recordings. deb debra feyerick has heard them. >> reporter: what stands out is how police dispatchers responded
