they stayed at the waldorf towers. this was interesting because i was curious how harry was able to afford this and that the truman library he saved everything. harry never wrote a letter that he didn't say than they have all the correspondence with the general manager of the waldorf towers and soon after the walter kerr is here it would be making the trip they wrote him a letter and said would you like to stay with us for free? harry roche back in said i think that would be alright. [laughter] so that is how harry truman, former leader of the free world no cash-strapped was able to afford eight nights at the waldorf. it is kind of interesting. harry was then-- i forget the floor. his suite was directly above herbert hoover's hoover lived at the waldorf at the time and truman and hoover had sort of a back and forth, a complex relationship. truman rehabilitated hoover's reputation after roosevelt died and change the name of what was it, bolder dam back to hoover dam said they become quite close the thin in the election

waldorf at an inch, probably over two. the spots up to the west up against the mountains, steven city, augusta, up into frostburg already between three and six inches of snowfall. again, we've got a long ways to go with intense rates tonight. one to three inches per hour and a forecast of 18 to 24 inches. we could slide into second or third place on record snowfalls for a season. meanwhile,hile that might sound amazing in itself, we know we've already had one storm, so this would be two record snowfalls in one season. >> yeah. that's unprecedented. we've never had two of our top-ten snowstorms here in washington occurred in one winter season. let's go back to the graphics. i wanted to show you that's the area -- there are spots getting a mixture now. might be some sleet. this is typical really of storms like this as they get going and because we still have that boundary of some of the warm atlantic air just beginning to get in on us at the midlevels of the atmosphere. the same time, the cold air is still trying to hold for

gaithersburg through the district, clinton, waldorf, areas off to the east. still moderate snow. that's going to hang on for a couple more hours. at least three, four more hours. the storm system starts moving away. the snow ends. but it's still going to be windy during the overnight period and still a windy and breezy day tomorrow. starting out early tomorrow, 24, 25 degrees. there will be sunshine across the area and on the ground, another 15 to 20 inches up through howard county and baltimore county. another 10 to 15 for us. meanwhile, it is sunshine that we'll have tomorrow instead of the real intense wind. winds that will be gusting tomorrow around 30 miles per hour. the high is 34. so we may have a little melting, not just tomorrow but a little melting for friday, foraturday and especially for sunday as we get into the upper 30s. doesn't look like a big event on monday. maybe some snow around two to four inches. >> all right. thanks. >> two to four inches. i'm sorry. >> compared to this, that's nothing. >> no! >> we'll be right back. >>> now we're awaiting a news conference
