we begin with chief meteorologist doug kammerer. doug?yeah, we are watching rain change to snow. most areas have seen a few snowflakes, but that's about it. on the radar right now you notice that rain and snow line is along the i-95 corridor from baltimore to d.c. we have seen a couple of light snow showers in the region. but the other thing you notice is this is really starting to get out of here. we are ending our rain after one, two, even three inches of rain has fallen in the past day or two. rain is moving off to the east, outside of the beltway. off towards virginia and still inside the beltway towards prince george's county. so we'll continue to watch as this moves out. the wider picture shows it better as the whole storm moves out. as the storm moves out as far as the rain, the snow, the sleet, something else is moving in and that's the wind. chuck bell is outside right now. it's not just the wind, it's the brutally cold temperatures once again. >> reporter: absolutely. wind plus cold equals windchills that you'll really need to b
