the snow is coming out of winchester and to leesburg and you'll get some light snow there and that is a -- not a snow burst and that is lingering away from us and this is from charles county with the heaviest of the snow and this could accumulate a little bit and speaking of accumulations, sue palka is downstairs with how much snow we received to the south, right? >> i have a news flash for you and we received 1.5 inches at reagan and two days ahead of last year and last year, we have the first inch of snow officially on december 18th and then followed that up with a whopping 15 inches on the 19th and finished the month with 16 1/2 and i hope we're not going in that direction and the advisory is still in effect for a little bit longer and the national weather service wanted to keep it up as we take our maps now and there were flight slurries i could -- flurries that i could see and that is covering the entire region and most of the snow is done and officially, 1 1/2 at reagan and in leesburg, 1.5 and forest heights, 1.3 in prince georges county frederick, maryland, 1 1/2 and had highe

gaithersburg, 19 degrees; culpeper, 25 and from winchester and martinsburg and hagerstown, the number that matters -- and these highs today, highs today up in to pittsburgh were struggling to get to 20 degrees and same for columbus. in west virginia, sitting at 13 degrees and we told you, this cold air meant business and it was going roll in here and get your tag. the wind gusts at this hour, 28 miles an hour gusts at national. gaithersburg, 25; 41 miles an hour gusts on the hour there and there was a wind advisory in place for everyone. the weather service discontinued and they will cancel that early. they felt it was not going to make the criteria this evening and the temperature instead of winds gusting up to 40 and 45, we think that they'll be gusting 30 to 35 and occasional at 40 and this is what that feels like out there, 11 in town and that facility like the single digits and close to zero this morning and that wind is blowing around. gaithersburg, dulles and martinsburg and winchester, sorry and wrap up this evening. 0 to fan at 9:00 and 0 to 13 at 11:00. we'll have a few clou

winchester, 29 degrees. patuxent naval air station, coming in at 35 degrees. our winds have been quite gusty during the last hour. they've been gusting up to 22 miles per hour in washington. 30miles per hour in gaithersburg. 30 at manassas. 26 at dulles. so with those winds blowing so strongly and gusting so highly, it gives us wind chills in the 20s. it feels like it is 21 degrees right now in washington and check it out. elsewhere, wind chills in the teens now. 18 is what it feels like in gaithersburg. 19 at dulles. 16 in manassas so a very cold day and these blowing winds throughout the course of the day. the snow will be a morning event. forecast for today looks like this. winter weather advisory in effect until 9:00 a.m. light snow early. maybe accumulations up to an inch. maybe a little bit more than that down towards fredericksburg where they've been getting more significant snowfall. partly sunny today. cold this afternoon. 37 we think was our high a couple of hours ago. we are at 33,000. temperature are going to hold steady or drop off a bit -- we are

skies have cleared and that temperature dropped 7 degrees in one hour, folks, 10 in frederick, 13 winchester, 18 manassas, 23 in baltimore and 16 in hagerstown. it's a combination of three things, the snowpack that we have, no wind and clearing skies. check out these overnight temperatures, single digits for winchester down to 9, 14 gaithersburg, 16 centreville and in the district down to 22. so we've had our first inch and a half of snow officially at reagan national. we did have some folks that sent in great videos to www.myfoxdc.com including a couple dogs having fun in rockville. the kids got out of school a bit early and enjoyed it. gary has more on the snow totals we had across the region. it was a good starter snow, but it still caused some problems today. >> absolutely, very slippery as we gnaw some of that video with those drivers -- in some of that video with those drivers and as temperatures drop into single digits, there becomes a point where the salt is not quite as effective as it would be if temperatures were only in the lower teens. so expect no doubt we'll have some slippery

just 20sin winchester. and 28 degrees here. and winds out of the northwest at 20 miles per hour. it feels like 25 in washington, just 18 in gaithersburg. 20 now in quantico. so you get the idea. it is a chilly day with a little bit of afternoon sunshine. there is your forecast. snow showers this morning, partly sunny and cold this afternoon. 37 is wishful thinking. i think we'll be in the low 30s. we were 37 at 4:00 a.m. this morning. a cold workweek and i'll have that for you in a couple of minutes. gurvir? >> tucker, thanks. >>> and we'll continue our winter weather coverage this morning with stacy cohan. >> she's in springfield talking to some commuters and it looks like it hasn't been too bad down there? >> reporter: no, it wasn't too bad. it was actually just sort of pretty i think most people said. some people were asking for more snow, if you can believe that. i never thought anybody would want more snow after last year but they did. take a look at wood bridge this morning. it is early morning in woodbridge. so we went farther south where the snow was a tad more aggressive

winter weather advisory doesn't cover martinsburg but winchester. it doesn't cover hagerstown. to the south, winter storm warnings down for richmond and roanoke. satellite and radar, we've seen the clouds move in since the early morning hours. here's some of the snowfall showing up in west virginia. this is not reaching the ground. some of the blues here getting real close toward charlottesville now. live doppler 9000, we're picking up some of the returns as well. this is virga. not reaching the ground. see it is ragged looking here. worth of winchester. almost. give them another 30 minutes or so. that snow is headed toward us. temperaturewise this morning. teens and low 20s. reston is 18. hay market in manassas, only 16 right now. 19 in columbia. and andrews and baden at 17 degrees. lleytonville at 18. cloudy skies. and the air is dry. humidity is only 55%. first batch of snow will take a little bit of time to evaporate. you can see it coming in here now. we're going to watch it. it all matching off to the east with a heavier amount south. want to show you the snow totals befo

hagerstown down to winchester temperatures right at freezing if not below. will continue light out of the west and northwest. by tomorrow morning a few more clouds, basically some high to midlevel clouds and not a whole lot of sunshine tomorrow. i think we'll get some. northern areas up into northern maryland, southern pennsylvania, you'll probably get more than anybody, temperature tomorrow only up to around 35 to 36 degrees for high temperatures. we'll have a little sun tomorrow morning, tween 7, so a chilly start. -- 27, so a chilly start. 35 at noon and by noon as the clouds pretty much overtake the entire area we'll be right up to about 35 for a high. it will be an early high temperature. this is futurecast tomorrow evening at 5:00. notice the snow here very close to southern maryland, okay? very close. if it does touch you, it will be very light. this storm is going to it stay offshore far enough that we don't have to deal with any snow. as a matter of fact, sunday around here is looking pretty good. of course, things can always change. these storms ha
