upper 30s towards frederick fredericksburg as well. forecast for today cloudy. cool side. but still cool meaning mid to lower 40s across the entire area and late day shower would not surprise me. better chance of showers this evening during the overnight and wind today southwest 5 to 10 miles an hour. here's erin cuomo here's a look at traffic ki not believe the federal government is still off today. >> well ki because take a look behind me gary we're dealing with problems. want to get out of the way. we have lanes blocked for snow removal you can seat trucks out there to the left of the screen traffic is y'alling on 66. 66 nutly street and you are jammed back to 123. we also have some lanes blocked outer loop of beltway between 4 and marboro and that's for snow removal this morning and a loft secondarys are dealing with heavy know snow and even though interstates cleared for the most part we're dealing with ongoing snow removal as things shifted overnight. let's go to maps. aside from that 295 northbound now intermittent road closures for snow removal. northbound side a l

up to 24 inches in winchester and frederick and hagerstown. 18 to 24. a little less south and east because of a mixture, some sleet. it will mix with sleet as far north as la plata. a major snow certainly from prince george's county north and west. blizzard warnings are in effect for everyone including our friends in southern maryland and fredericksburg. blizzard is about visibility, not snowfall amounts. the winds will not pick up until friday night. especially after midnight and become windy all day saturday. so, try to put this into perspective. one to four inches by 7:00 p.m. friday. so in culpeper get off the road by 11:00 a.m. downtown. get off the road by 2:00. in silver spring or rockfield, it will accumulate quickly. 8 to 14 inches overnight. 6 to 12 saturday. so we are not done. it will be hammer time overnight friday into saturday morning. we will probably hear thunder snow. finish your errands by friday morning. follow us on twitter and tweet us your pictures. we love before and after picks. download our free app. you can track the storm rig
