but then up around cecil county, wilmington, philadelphia, 1522. heavier amounts across the state line into delaware. and into philadelphia. so here is what it looks like next die planner. snow continues through the overnight, picking up through the morning. windy conditions. as much as 40 to 50 miles per hour gusts. tell but the storm in detail coming up. >> thank you, vytas. >> city crews manage to clear the main roads and many neighborhood streets are untouched. with another round of snow blowing through, city struggles to keep up. keith daniels is live in north baltimore with the mayor's plans to clear the streets. >> jennifer, city crews tried to get the side streets like this one before the second storm blew through but apparently they will not make it. we're live in the 4200 block of elsa terrace where neighbors have done it themselves. done what they could. they have plowed what they could, to the side. you can see how the snow here has pretty much stacked up here to the side. the street is pretty much impassable. and it may stay that way.

it's a little inland around wilmington, north carolina. when it moves offshore that will suck down some cold air. meantime, six to 12 tonight between now and say midnight, then midnight to 6:00 a.m. another six to eight. two to four inches in the morning. and probably another one to two in the afternoon. now, if you live east of town, the snow is going to taper off last. it may snow everywhere or flurry everywhere most of tomorrow night, but in terms of accumulating we think it's going to shut off between 6:00 and 8:00 on saturday night. that said, blizzard conditions tonight, and that's what we're really kind of concerned about. satellite picture, radar combined, there's the area of snow, but notice the area of green here, which is rain in the pink is a mix. we are going to watch this as it starts to move farther to the north. again, the area of low pressure is going to hug that north carolina coast, just to the northeast of wilmington, and until it moves a little further northeast, the winds are going to have more of an easterly componen

it is going to have verse across south central georgia, eventually getting north of wilmington. it will hug the coast as it moves across north carolina. that's why we think we will see this mixing line move to the north. already seeing the rain pretty close to us. that will indeed cut down on amounts a little bit. let's talk about amounts in live doppler. here's devon. >> we will start with the super ruler outside. you can get this at the livestream, not just live web updates but livestream on the super ruler. upwards to four and a half to five inches of snow. but the other side is a more likelihood of build upof snow. it is 2 1/2 to three inches of snow we have there. we have moderate steady snow across the area. we tweak the colors here and talked about this a little bit and we will talk about it more. steady snows. if you lap to see purple and brighter shades mixing in, that means it will be heavier snow bands. there you see it. moving over the potomac to the chesapeake. that's where we have an enhancement from the relatively warmer water in the air. that is a heavy band of s

once you get to cecil county and wilmington and philadelphia, 15 to 22 plus inches. this is the core where the heaviest snow could be. seven to 14 in southern portions of the state. easton and denton, seven to 14. as we go through the night. cold temperatures here in the 20s. so see freezing also taking place under the snow. lows will wrap in, and secondary low strengthens over the atlantic and picks up the winds. wind gusts 40 to 50 miles per hour. and as much as 70 miles per hour winds over the water. this is like a winter hurricane. so a strong low that will push through. tonight, 30 degrees. blustery conditions. with the snow. snow getting heavy at times and afternoon. tomorrow, starting to wrap out around 8:00 tomorrow night. looking at clearing for thursday, friday, saturday, sunday. and watch next monday and tuesday with the next storm. back to you guys. >> thank you, vytas. >> here is another look at school closing. again we have divided them into two lists. >> first list county public schools closed tomorrow only. baltimore, caroline, carroll, cecil and harf

wilmington, delaware. >> jimmy: wilmington. yeah -- were you always a funny kid? in a box a lot. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i'm sorry, i'm sorry. you followed your principal home in a box? >> yeah. >> jimmy: what does that mean? >> like it means what it sounds like. [ laughter ] i found a -- sorry. sorry, i didn't mean to -- >> jimmy: no, you're not being rude. i don't even know what that sounds like. >> i found a -- no, i was in the box -- i found a large box in the locker room in middle school. my principal miss scaglione is a very tiny woman and she used to walk down pennsylvania avenue to go home and she'd walk home from school. and i thought it would be funny if i followed her home in a box. so, i would like -- it was a big box. and i would be in the box and i would walk down this main street after her and every time she'd turn around, i would drop down inside it. >> jimmy: so, there's no top or bottom on the box? >> no. it was like -- >> jimmy: so you just kind of hold it and walk? >> -- yeah, it's like the worst cartoon imaginable. [ light laughter ] yeah. >> j

the storm itself is moving toward wilmington. it's going to probably go inside of cape hatteras. as it makes that track, that's when it's possible to have a little bit of a mix south and east of town. right now winter storm warning covers did entire metro area. tonight heavy snow, 12 to 20 inches, near blizzard conditions, low temperatures 28 to 32, and winds will pick up northeasterly at 15 to 25. derek, it's just getting started. >> all right, and so are we haven't thank you, top, appreciate. that let's get you up to date on what we know right now. snow emergencies are in effect for most of our area. lots of places are already closed for tomorrow, including the smithsonian museums and the gallery mall in friendship heights. you can see a list of all things closed tomorrow at the bottom of your screen. the airports are open, but that won't do you much good because most of the flights are canceled. after bad-mouthing area schools for closing so often earlier, president obama issued a statement in the last hour saying this particular snowstorm has his respect. let's get out to sur

they are down south to wilmington. batch rolls through, this will not give us any additional moisture. that'll be about it. next seven days, low 40s tomorrow. low 40s on thursday. here comes the next storm. potentially big coastal on friday night into saturday. cold on sunday and monday. and derek, low and behold on tuesday, we have more snow for them possibly temperatures in the low 40s. and really, it's very rare for us to have snow on top of snow. to have snow on top of snow on top of snow is even more unusual. and to have snow on top of the snow, i have never seen that. >> well, you know, we'll talk about that in a minute, wheal i'm sick of the snow, you love it. we'll see you in a minute. ó?xxeccúú and now cheer presents "brighten bay" episode five: "sandy sees the light." (gasps) are you an angel? (laughing) no, i'm doctor dan. but your clothes, they're so bright.

14 to 20 inches plus potentially across baltimore, dc area crossing up to seize ill county 95 to wilmington and phily 16 to 24. could get heavy amounts and southern 10 of the state 7 to 14 and then the south east portion of the estate about 14. so looking at a lot of snow potential across the area as the storm pushes through. about a foot, foot and a half is what we are looking at. back to you. >> all right vytas e.track the storm asset moves through the state of maryland i-radar available at fox baltimore.com and use the tools to track the storms down to your neighborhood. go to our web site. >> baltimore city crew manage to clear the main roads but many neighborhood streets are still untouched. keith live north baltimore where the mayor plan aattack before this storm moves through. should be a great plan. >>reporter: she think also it is. we are 11 now in the 4200 block of terrace. this is what city crew concentrating on now. this car passing through. city crew concentrating on streets like this now. little neighborhood streets with snow packed with snow that have yet to see a plow. now a

moves between hilton head, and wilmington, north carolina. we have that range for you. any event, snow will break out here friday. the question is how long it will snow saturday. whether or not it take as turn to the left or right. already, the next seven days. 42 tomorrow. very nice day. snow heavy at night. tapers off saturday. only 32 saturday. still looking at cold air behind the system. next storm comes in here, not as potent, but more cold air. the precipitation would be snow all the way to southern maryland upper 20s, and mid-20s on wednesday. >> can you stop adding to these totals? >> that was our first total. our first call. >> by the way folks, an all new dave is right after the news. here's a quick preview. >>> the pentagon now wants to allow gays to serve openly in the military. you know what that means ladies and gentlemen of the jury? more parades. [ applause ] >> by the way, paris hilton will be on with the top 10. dave is on right after 9 news now. >>> you now you can look past an opponent sometimes sometimes can't you? >> that's true. but they forget to

philadelphia, baltimore, washington, d.c., wilmington, delaware, atlantic city, new jersey, have all their all-time winter snow records. and this very powerful nor'easter is unusual in its path, direction, duration and even the types of weather extremes. it's path and direction? this storm moving inland, then does a loop, then pucks off the shoreline. the duration of this storm, probably two to three days before it clears new england. and types of weather? it has it all. from rough winds and beach erosion to heavy floofding rains to a mixture of rain and snow, to heavy snow and even blizzard conditions. the unrelenting series of february storms have taxed steps and states already reefling from budget cuts. philadelphia had slammed a season record for snowfall, even before this storm arrived. the step and the rest of pennsylvania are struggling with the cost of repeated storms. >> it is done a devastating job to our city budget. there was no way in the world that we could anticipate this has been the snowiest winter in the history of the city of philadelphia. over 70 inches in the cou

stretching up 32 wilmington, philadelphia, north as new york city. getting heavy snowfall. points west as well, heavy amounts of snowfall. folks in pittsburg, columbus. zooming out the picture. you can see the rain/snow line around richmond where they saw more rain. in fact, the heavy snow amounts solicited to the north, where northern virginia and sterling and ruston. germantown and back through western portions of maryland, including baltimore city to d.c.. so a lot of heavy snow wrapping in with the system. and looking at the bigger picture. the storm is stretching back over the midwest. and involving folks back there in ohio. as well as indiana. double o wrap through the area bringing the moisture into cold air. and we could get rumbles of thunder tonight. do not be surprised. with heavy snow. we could have lightning in the clouds. and we will continue to see that one to 3-inch an hour, as we go through the overnight. not only dealing with that. but heavy gusty winds. looking at winds right now at 24 miles per hour in baltimore. 22 dc. dover at 21. gusting in the 30s. t

byron scott is a reporter for our affiliate in wilmington, delaware, area right now. what are the conditions there right now? >> reporter: right now i am in the trenches. look behind me. it began snowing roughly around 5:30 this afternoon, this evening. it's been piling up ever since. the wind has started to pick up and has a cold bite to it. by the time this is all said and done, we may get upwards of this area here about 20 inches of snow. this may go down as one of the top ten worse snowstorms in delaware history. it prompted the state of delaware, the governor to declare a state of emergency. all nonessential vehicles must be off the road as of 10:00 tonight. look around here. there are cars here on delaware avenue. these cars should not be out here right now. that's mostly for emergency crews a plow trucks can get through here. as far as how long that will be in effect, we north sure. we've seen plow trucks all night long. this is a very powerful storm. the road crews here, the storm is getting ahead of them and will make a lot of progress over the course of the

amounts down south where it has been raining pretty heavy, 52 in wilmington. 45 in atlanta. let's talk about what we can expect out here. low-pressure system will really deepen. that's why we're expecting that moderate and heavy snow for early tomorrow morning between maybe about 7:00 and noontime. then the system pulls away. we get the wind and the snow comes to an end by 6:00 or 7:00. more on the timeline and what you can expect starting this evening. here's bob ryan. >> veronica, this is by 8:00. the one feature with these -- this storm, it is very, very tricky. a bit different than the last one. the re-formation, the jump to the coast, will be taking place a little bit more to our north. as a result, at the levels of four, 5,000 feet there are strong winds, 20 miles an hour. we'll be seeing a period of the mixture that is unfortunately freezing rain and sleet, which is still going to be adding tons and tons of snow to everybody's roof and moisture. by 2:00 in the morning, that's when the cold air really begins sweeping back in, changes anything back over to snow. so for

north and east as the storm system gains strength but it initially inland, between hatteras and wilmington, north carolina and i think you will see a mix and that's why we have less snowfall accumulations down here. as cold air wraps around the system you are definitely back to all snow before it is said and done. go to the computer and we will talk about amounts. this is always posted on our website at wusa9.com. we also have the six zones on the website and that's pretty good deal when you are covering places from garrett county to the coast. and we have them broken down in terms of accumulation. 20 to 30 inches in the district, montgomery, fairfax and most of charles county. now, we are looking at the same amount of accumulation up in the north and the west, even the panhandle, berkeley springs, jefferson county, that area in to shenandoah valley where we think some areas will get 30-inches in the shenandoah valley. little less, again, south and east. still a huge storm, 12 to 20 but we think it will mix with sleet and rain toward the northern neck and extreme southern maryland. okay. h

. >> let's check in with action news reporter brian taft in wilmington.'ve toured the area there, what have you seen? >> reporter: well, jim, snow and more snow. get a look at this. this is a street sign behind me. ordinarily as you know it would be a whole lot taller than i am. tonight that's not the case. >> it's been unusual. >> reporter: that's certainly one way to put it. ron augustine should know. he and his colleagues at the maintenance shed spend the evening preparing their plows for another wave of winter and another night of work. >> it's pretty much sometimes you get 10, 12-hour shifts, never get behind the wheel. we have to keep the interstate open. >> reporter: preparation was also under way for what another storm might mean. >> it's good for me, i get an extra day off, three days in a row. >> live and in hd. this is abc 7 news at 11:00. on your side. >> the snow has arrived and it's getting heavier. and the winds are kicking up too big-time. this is 395 near washington boulevard around 27th. you see there it looks like police are going to cl

that's running into wilmington. it's still rain when it comes to the i-85 corridor.temperatures are above freezing, but that's not going to be the case for most of the day. we do have freezing rain as a potential early this morning middle parts of north carolina and then sleet and freezing rain for virginia. once it gets to maryland, it should be all snow, around d.c., 1 to 3 inches of snow. 28 in washington, 30 in roanoke, 39 in atlanta. take you live to atl. traveling down to this region, rain and low clouds for the morning. anticipating delays for the first half of the day. by the afternoon push, things should be okay. hopefully it does clear out. light snow working through the great lakes we will get to that in about a half hour. >> some homeless families forget their troubles for a few hours at a water park. a shelter in wisconsin gave about 100 guests free passes for the day of fun. some say it was a good treat, especially for the children. >> you feel that you have failed as a parent. many times, my husband and i feel that way. >> it is a families helping fami

host: wilmington, delaware. democrat.eening those people. i want to say something about so security disability. there are a lot of people on disability. i had health issues when i was young but i did not have health insurance. i know other people that when they were young adults, they did not have health insurance. they had high blood pressure and wind up with renal failure, and that is an issue. i'mçç tired of seeingok people -- what happened to respecting respect? using racial scare tactics, schering people to death, using panicked -- scaring people to death. to me, and looks like a group of racist. i saw a picture of obama in slaved change. that is disgusting. host: our next call comes from mary in tampa. caller: i have a fabulous way of saving a lot of money for the government and it is a different idea. i am tired of congress -- every year we select somebody new and nothing ever changes. we are in a real crisis. i am looking at the map of the united states and i'm seeing 50 states. why do we need 50 states? we shou

examples are wilmington delaware in the projects that are already underway, on schedule and within budgetprojects are ideal for small businesses and spread all over the country. 45% of the contracts we have awarded have gone to small businesses to really lead to the groundwork for the productive year and i'm confident we will bring the work it on time. i want to close again by noting we've created more than 600 full-time equivalents in the work force plus a growing number of jobs and vendor created jobs. we are putting them to work building much-needed capacity and infrastructure improvements. this process has helped prepare for larger projects and we expect to undertake in the future and it's helped to build a better and transparent railroad. thank you for the opportunity and i look forward to taking some questions. >> thank you. we will begin the first round of questioning now and my question will go to the deputy secretary party. do you feel requiring states to 50% of the highway and bridge funding within 120 days of receiving the apportionment was a good idea and i ask that because so

host: wilmington, north carolina. trade agreements. caller: they would kill them, as they did in the past. i agree with west virginia. a quick little aside -- one of the local municipalities had to redo some lighting in a municipal building and they had to buy american. well, they were not able to buy anything that was not built in the united states for ballast. everything build was in china. host: why did they have to buy in america? was a part of the legislation? caller: yes, it was. there were particular waivers, but still, the fact was emerging that they were having trouble making this contract because everything was manufactured out of the country because it was made so cheap. still, start looking out for the united states and some kind of protest -- protectionism, if 50% of the parts are not made in the united states they are taxed. and we would be able to reduce the tariffs on imports and our domestic market would pick up the products. host: different editorial views on job growth, trade agreements. here is one from "the "washin

and the winds higher as we head toward wilmington, delaware. out toward oakland where it's been stronger. and gusts of 25 to 30 miles per hour on the outward bands on the upper level coast off the coast. that will continue to be the case as we see the winds pick up further toward the east. we are right around freezing. note the warmer air for the east. that is why we're seeing the sleet in some places and seeing plain rain to the south in salisbury, 35 degrees. to the west, 28 degrees in hagerstown, only 10 in oakland. and now for a look as the updates keep changing with regard to blizzard concerns, here is jessica starr in the sky watch weather center. jessica. >> reporter: thanks, steve. let's get to the watches and warnings because we're not the only ones that are dealing with the snow this morning. look at the watches and the warnings stemming from the midwest toward the northeast. the areas that are pink under the winter storm warning which is what we're under. you can see some red. we will get to that in just a minute. right now we're und
