look at that, the women from the women's lacrosse team of marymount. i bet the competition isn't practicing. so they are good. visibility is dropping. conditions are not good right now for travel. give it another 90 minutes, two hours, things are going to be a little bit better. winds out of the north, northeast 30 degrees. feels about 24. watch the visibility map. you can see where the heaviest snow is. visibility less than a mile. so that's going to be a problem as well with the slick roads out there. so here's the map. you can see the back edge of this. this is not going to last all day long. we're only talking a couple more hours. by lunch time things will be better but we are tracking these blue bands. these blue bands we can see anywhere from an inch to up to maybe 2 inches per hour as it falls. and it is really coming down. so we will see things clear out this afternoon. here's quick look at your planner. larry, good morning. i know you have a lot to talk about.

shelters right there. those are commuters, too. they've been out here all morning walking out. you know what else was not here this morning? when i first got here, this parking lot was clear. you could see nothing but blacktop. you can see right now it is covered in snow. now it's forming a nice slush making travel difficult. you can imagine what this is going to be like on the roads this morning if this is what it looks like in the parking lot, once you get a bunch of drivers out there, it will make a mess. i showed you in the last half- hour the x i made at 5:30. i want you to look at it right now. you can't even tell where it was, just barely. that's where the x was that i made. you could see the blacktop at 5:30. now you cannot see anything. that is what all a he see when you head out on the roads this morning. if you can delay your travel at all possible, do so. if you cannot and have to go to work this morning, move out of wait so the vdot crews can get out there and clear off the roads. there's about 1500 of them out in northern virginia this morning so just be aware of them and drive safely. back to you in the studio. >> good advice. slow down the speed as well

kevin king has hopped behind the wheel and i'm behind the camera here. we're approaching route 301, robert crane highway. we are in charles county. as you know, charles county schools have been closed for the day and for good reasonable because the snow is really coming down. as we wait for the light to turn, as this intersection is looking pretty good, once we get on the main road, you can see that the snow is really accumulating. lots of traffic. i'm quite surprised that even with the cancellations that we do have, the school system here in charles county, lots of commuters are on the road heading into d.c. the state highway is recommending that folks delay their commutes because of these conditions. i can tell you when i was driving a short time ago, really hard to even find out what lane you were traveling in. and so the roads are sticky. they are slick. the recommendation, if you don't have to drive, if you can stay at home for a little bit, do so. we'll get back on the road and have another look at conditions on route 301 here in charles county as we look at folks heading back into the district. back to you. >> photo journalist kevin king behind the wheel. he's the one who

conditions are. >> reporter: much the same right now. we're seeing the snow coming down, light flurries at this point. it was coming down fast and furious around 5:00 for an hour i would say. i spent the last several minutes going up and down wisconsin avenue. you can see about half an inch that has piled up and now covering sidewalks and side streets around the area. but you take a look along wisconsin avenue, traffic flowing nice and smoothly. you can see the salt on the roadways right now and really not much of an issue to speak of right now. although roads are slick certainly in this area. so definitely want to -- definitely remind travelers to go ahead and keep that in mind before they head out on the roadways. again, this area certainly seems to be prepared on all fronts as you mentioned, andrea. d.c. public schools have announced a two hour ur delay as well as -- two-hour delay as well as federal agencies. >>> 6:35 now. within the last hour, pretty much the school districts

frederick northward. right now here's the radar over the past couple hours. this is all rain. you get up toward frederick we're getting mixed precipitation. sleet and a little bit of freezing rain. that's what the advisories are for. the advisories are not for snow. they're for the mixed bag. west of 287 you have a little bit of a mix too going on. that will continue tonight as well. coldest air of the season friday through sunday, check your car battery. check your furnace. you should have done that in the fall. but if you haven't this is a good time to check it before the cold gets here. temperatures on sunday could fall below zero in the suburbs. i can't find any snowstorms this year but i did get a little excited last night looking at computer models till 2:00 in the morning. some of the coldest year i've seen in years headed our way. futurecast back to the immediate future 8:00 tonight temperature around 30 in gaithersburg. 33 in leesburg. a little bit of a mixture but it was in the 60s yesterday. roads are going to be fine. by 10:00 most of the precip sinks south. then it gets going back to the nor

frederick and layingtown and winchester. it looks like the cold air may hang on long enough to give you about 80% snow. temperatures 19 in frederick, 21 in leesburg, manassas and 17 in charles county in la plata. headlines, cold and quiet tonight, don't think we'll see any records. snow starts tomorrow between 9 a.m. and noon and starts southwest to northeast. starts in culpeper first, then d.c. and baltimore. snow to a mix between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. that will be the transition hour. it will hang on longer north and west of town. that mean more snow for you folks. freezing rain to rain between 8 p.m. and midnight but again a little bit later north and west of town. we're kind of concerned about a little icing north and west of town. futurecast 8:00 tomorrow morning clouds rolling in, temps in the teens. by 10:00 snow breaks out to the west, culpeper and along i-81. it just really races in here by noon, moderate snow across up and down the i-95 corridor and points to the west, temperatures in the 20s. so we're still looking at snow. don't get too fixated on the surface temperatures. the reason why it's going to change to sleet and freezing rain is we're losing the cold air. pretty good snow across the metro area. by 3:30 we're still looking at snow la plata northward, but here comes the changeover. the magenta is a mixture that will work its way northward late afternoon and early evening hours, temps 28 in gaithersburg, 31 in leesburg. by 8:00 we have rain. green is rain. this is still the mixture in magenta. temperatures are still right around 32. even if the surface temperatures rise, the ground and road temperatures are still below freezing. that will continue the icing at the surface. day planner, no worries in the morning, 15 at 7:00, 19 at 9:00, snow at 11:00, big time snow by 1:00, about 29. next three days yellow alert tomorrow, snow to a mix, yellow alert sunday, at least some morning showers. the afternoon looks nice, temps in the 40s, back to the freezer monday, only 28 for a high. next seven days cold air but not too much storminess, maybe flurries wednesday. that's about it, very cold next thursday and friday. >>> still no answers after
