baltimore, with more on the problems those are causing. >> tim is right.does not take a lot to slow us down. but you can see, the conditions on the roads. many side streets are not very good. they have about 130 pieces of equipment out right now. and they're going to work around the clock to try to get things cleared, trying to get the main arteries cleared first. let's tang a look -- take a look first. the snow really came down fast and furious, starting just after 11:00 today. continued through the afternoon. it was slow going, whether you were on the interstate, whether you were on the side streets. and the state highway administration had a number of contractors, as well as their own trucks out there to clear the roadways. if we can come back live to me now. just pan over here to interstate 895. and you can see, traffic is moving very smoothly right now. quite a difference on the interstates, compared to those side streets. it's just simply wet out there. you want to make sure because of the cold temperatures that you do take precautions, though. becau

. >> tim is in the outback. tim has a look at the storm involved. tim? >> bob, as you mentioned, this storm is starting to thin out now. but the problem really has been the temperatures all morning long. everything has come down in the form of snow. snow sleet mixed in. this is all snow. temperatures in the 20s all day long. and as our satellite composite shows, the icy mixes that you've seen down south of the region, that pink that you see down at the bottom of the screen, it's in virginia, where the temperatures have mixed in just a little bit. a little bit of a marine layer. some of the ocean moisture pulled in. our temperatures have been in the 20s. and in the teens now, from hagerstown to oakland. 22 in oakland. and we're going to go down from there. and anything else is going to stay frozen on anything untreated. as for our totals, frostburg seeing the most so far. 2.3 in frederick. rockville toward montgomery county. then seeing st. mary's near 2. and here on television hill, just a little over half an inch. a little more to the south. and as we h

tim is with me now, to look at the cold temps that have been with us all day long. >> and tim -- really, the temps have been a big factor. everything that came down stuck to the ground almost immediately. temperatures have not gotten out of the 20s. we are at 23 in cumberland, and everyone else in the mid- to upper 20s. we have 28 in pax river and ocean city. but those are also going to contribute to everything staying frozen. nothing is expected to melt down overnight or into tomorrow. temperatures stay well below the average. and although we've watched, the snow is starting to break up here, what is coming down now, still continues to come down by way of snow. no mixture of rain. no mixture of sleet. everything is all snow as we are looking at this event, moving out of here through this evening. we'll have a complete update for you here coming up soon. denise, for now, back over to you. >> thank you, tim. >>> and first warning weather coverage continues for mike mike hellgren who has more on the impact of this system. >> reporter: denise, if you needed proof of what tim said, you can

tim williams is joining us in the outback. tim? >> as bob mentioned, you can't rule out anything, until it's completely over and done. but thursday two graphics will give you an idea of the timing and what we expect. by late saturday night into sunday morning, we're talking about 1:00 a.m. to just around dawn. we'll expect to see the system starting to glance the area and moving on by. so anything that starts starts to come down will be within this range. and we're expecting a coating to maybe a trace. from the lower eastern shore. across much of the state. things really start to taper off. maybe 1 to 3 inches in the proximity closest to the center of that storm. the lower eastern shore. and down toward the eastern edge of virginia. there you have it for right now. we'll continue to keep you updated now inside for your complete forecast with bob in just a moment. back inside. >> thank you, tim. wjz is always on. you'll find the latest on the forecast. and you can track live doppler radar on our website. we also have closings and de

tim williams and bernadette woods are tracking it. >> the key word is potential. we're looking for a storm system forming in the west that's moving in our direction. while we have nothing in maryland, there is a storm system in the west. we're at 38 degrees. that is all doing to be moving in our direction. the low is going to track to the south. we'll give you an idea how it will impact us through thursday. our neighbors to the south, virginia, to the care line nas, could be expecting an icy mix. we're on the northern fringe of that. this will set the stage for another system that will be moving through this weekend, going to take largely the same path. there are a lot of questions as well. the key is that the stage is set for a snow event tomorrow and another one on saturday. for a little bit more we send it out to meteorologist bernadette woods. >>> the other big story is the cold. look at the temperatures. this is our high so far on the day, 31 degrees. our average is 46. we're 15 degrees below average. when you factor in the winds, we're talking about 20, whic

. -- with tim. could you elaborate on the difference between your plan and what is on the table and to speculate as to whether they could work together or some modified version of it could work if this package moves ahead? >> as i mentioned, the bill that was passed was not the obama a administration proposal. distinguish it from the proposal a have with john bishop and what you think it would be less affected? it is less money. in terms of creating jobs, the subsidy is solid. it is six. tucson% -- is 2.6%. if someone is hiring right now, you do not get very much subsidy. you get a $1,000 bonus if you keep the person for a year. the credit that we were proposing was somewhere around $7,000 per job. it was a much bigger subsidy. ct says that you have to be unemployed for 60 days. there are many problems with this. one is that employers simply it seem to not want to deal with this. there are stigma of fax -- effects. most of the research indicates that there would be lower effectiveness. if you want t
