a nice start on the north side. 95 at 395 looks good to and from conaway. 50 south on the j.f.x. down to coldspring. 295 southdown is building just a bit at 175. things will change as the weather will come in. >> the baltimore area could see snowflakes right now. here is a look at the radar. it is basically rain across southern maryland. this could cause slick spots on the roads. an icy mix in the mountains through much of the day. 1-2 inches near frederick. it could be icy early on. then it will change to rain. more coming up in just a few minutes. >> good morning. the ravens will be back to work today. when they get back to work, their mind will not be on a losing streak. or hanging on to the division lead. all those things were put to bed a few days ago. the mindset is getting ready for the bengals on sunday. and postseason play. there is much to be gained against the bengals. the ravens need to win. baltimore is a banged-up group. maybe the ravens should take it easy. that is not the mentality of a john harbaugh team. >> i think an opportunity to play on the road like this in
