we're seeing slush across all of the lanes in the area. as you mentioned we're right across the street from congressional. so if you hit this kind of slush going at any speed, hit the brakes, you run the risk of slipping and sliding out there. passable but not the greatest condition. keep in mind if you're going to be traveling around town on foot, the sidewalks, not all of them have been shoveled here this morning. also untreated parking lots. you can see the snow cover that we have here. i would say that they got about an inch and a half in this area. we have some light snow falling. the one thing we have seen is the wind. i don't know if you can show some of these trees. when you get a gust of wind and the gusts are substantial, it can blow the snow ret off of the trees, right off of the rooft s rooftops. as i was driving in this morning early i was in an area on route 258 in anne arundel county in an area that had pretty dense coverage with trees, the canopy. the wind came out of snow off the trees and into the roadway and i had absolu

we were seeing a lot of slush. we were also seeing shoulders that were covered in slush and snow pack in some places. the continuing problem is going to be those neighborhood stre s streets, and they may be a problem for a few days because of how cold it is. this fender-bender on the dulles toll road, one of many this morning. slick spots tough to see in the predawn darkness. these are the express lanes at 4:00 a.m. in tysons corner. and here they are four hours later, still pretty bad in places. just look at the ramp to the toll road. most drivers have been sticking to the regular lanes of the beltway, though. they're in good shape, just wet. >> i was on 495 this morning. it's not too bad. i saw one accident, though, getting on the 66 from 495. but really, it's not bad. >> they're all clear. they still have trucks on the road right now. they're still putting salt down. but as i know, i just came from stafford, virginia, it took me about 45 minutes to get here. >> reporter: and these are some of the guys responsibl

that's because a big plow came through and pushed all of the slush out of the roadway.ome other conditions as people are making their way, some to work and others running errand this is morning. take it easy out there. it depends where you are and whether or not the road has been pretreated. as we've been saying all morning long, overnight, vdot crews were very, very busy. they were out there pretreating the major roads. residential streets have not been touched, not in the same way. they're in a different condition. they're a lot more slippery and snow covered. we've been talking to folks out and about this morning. they're pretty surprised how quickly this is all accumulating. >> i got a phone call from work at 6:00 am. it was completely clear. two hours later, i wake up and, yeah. >> reporter: and you're take ina live look here at one of the untreated parking lots in the area. as you can see, it is completely snow covered and pretty slick. take it easy out there on those secondary streets in the parking lots as you leave your house. once you get out to the major road

snow linger on the roadways, and even though they've been treated, we still do have a little bit of slush and snow even here on route 5. now, the most troublesome spot that i've seen so far early this morning is on the rock creek parkway just getting onto the rock creek parkway. that on ramp that we experienced right by massachusetts avenue, right by the embassies if you're familiar with that area, it was definitely still completely snow covered, so just be very careful when you're merging onto some of those main roads as you're heading out early this morning. right now we're live on route 5 and i'm going to send it back to you in the studio. i'm erica grow, back to you. >>> good advice, because those seem to be the last areas that have been plowed. >> yeah. rock creek park for me was completely covered. normally at this time it would have been treated, they would have gotten the snow off. the other thing i noticed, i travel down 50 through virginia, through fairfax county and into arlington county. when you crossed over the county line, you definitely saw a difference in terms of plowing
