like i said earlier, this is a morning not to take chances. d to dodge a lot of tree limbs as well in my neighborhood that are weighted down by the ice and, yes, there are trees down all over town. i have a few examples of closures. poolesville closed at woulden avenue in -- wooten -- wootton avenue. there is a crash. an overturned tractor-trailer, i was on the phone with virginia state police this morning, it's on the outer loop southbound 495 at route 123 in tysons corner. right now you've got crews on the scene. i believe the right and then the left side of the roadway get by. you want to be very, very slow through that area. you have to zig-zag your way through the accident activity. again, an overturned tractor- trailer. what they're saying as far as we know that there are minor injuries. hopefully they'll be able to upright it and move it shorter. meantime outer loop 123 southbound 495. at about 8:30 last night, there was a truck on fire southbound on 270 at father hurley boulevard. believe it or not they are still working on it. of cours

with the fact that i had cancer. every morningat this was a bad dream that i would wake up from. i was just so tired of fighting to stay alive. so i just let go. i actually surrendered to whatever it was waiting for me. the doctors were trying to put these needles into my veins, and they couldn't find the veins. the veins had all retracted. and then they were saying, this is normal for somebody who is dying. i was in a coma. they didn't realize i could hear them. they weren't even in the room. but i heard the oncologist say that i probably won't even make it through the next 24, 36 hours. in a way, it sounds like you were almost straddling two worlds. >> it felt like i was in a bigger world, which encompassed this world. it was vibrant. there was music. it was just incredible. but it's like it's beyond our spectrum, our ability to perceive. it's beyond our physical five senses. and it was like for the first time in my entire life did i feel that i was loved and accepted unconditionally for who i am. it was a peace i had never expe

i also want to mention, from hayward to fremont, when you get over to the peninsular 101 is doing very nicely. >>> it is cold this morning, a few teens, a freeze warning is out and by noon it will not be that much warmer, i think you settled in on the pattern and it may be the coolest day of the week as temperatures may warm up. it may be shaky and upper 40s and lower 50s but temperatures throughout the week gradually slowly warming up. we start off another cool reading and a freeze warning may be back into tomorrow. even san francisco is a 37 and san san jose is at 39. there is plenty of freeze warnings and tonight and tomorrow will kicking back in. 30s on the coast, 20s and 30s -- i mean if there is a breeze and some places do have that. if you think it is cold, it's cold up in ukiah. it is gradually warming up and we have a lot of 40s and 50s, but after that, things start to improve and the cold snap lingers. there are temperatures checking in to 60s, i know this is crazy talk. breezy for some, mainly out to the east, higher elevations, things are calming down a little bit. there is not much of a spread or difference

morning gentlemen. thank you so much for the washington journal. i get up early every morning. host: thank you for doing it. caller: i have a couple of thoughts on the question. one is, i believe that government in general is too large. the graph that you showed in the very beginning -- i happen to believe it is going in the right direction, not the wrong direction. there is a huge difference in my mind between employees and workers. i think that our government workers are hard to find compared to the private sector. you see the check and balance system in the private sector. you produce work or you go away. that is not the case in almost all levels of government jobs. my question at the end of this, the case in point, the forest service in alaska. you cannot find them on a friday. those people get three-day weekends every day -- every week of the year. daysinvented ten-hour situations. that does not provide customer service. if the private sector tried to pull that, they would go out of business. you mentioned earlier young man, the federal government is comparing the fiscal --

>> reporter: good morning to you. i did just hear from one family and they had planned to be here to watch this ntsb hearing, but they already got word this morning of the cancellation so they won't be here. i did walk into the crown plaza hotel and speak with a gentleman at the front desk. he said he, too, had gotten word of the bad weather in washington, d.c. as the reason for the delay. he wasn't sure what would happen next but there is a sign in the lobby about the viewing for the ntsb hearings. what it does -- when it does happen this will abtwo-day fact finding hearing in the crash of 214 at sfo on july 6. as you said, it killed three people, injured dozens more. now, a complaint was filed after the the crash on behalf of 12 passengers with accusations of inadequate pilot training and poor aircraft design. in the hearing witnesses may include reps from boeing t faa and of course asiana airlines. shortly after the crash the ntsb said the board will look at why the plane was going below the recommended speed coming

ice on any kind of plants, trees, and that will be causing a problem this morning with branches falling. i drove over a branch on my way over here this morning, a fairly large branch. fortunately no damage to the car but be careful out there because i think things will be falling. this is pretty heavy ice you can see. we're here on little river turnpike just east of columbia pike because there's a transformer that has blown. if you can see across the street there, this is the intersection of pine crest vista and 236 also called little river turnpike. you see those flames in the woods? i went up and took a look at them and they are branches on a wire. they just keep burning. been burning about an hour now. beyond that is a transformer. we're told by the rescue crews that were here a little bit ago that a transformer blew. i imagine there are power outages and there are outages around the area. a lot of things to deal with this morning. i know my kids were celebrating last night when they heard fairfax county schools were going to be closed today. that's good. that will keep people off the r
