We got this storm that will make its way in here probably for the next 12 to 18 hours and thats why these snow totals will be on the high side. 36 in leesburg, 39 in washington above the pennsylvania boarder, temperatures into the mid 20s. Our numbers will continue to fall. The rain to the south. We have the icing. This map points the picture well with snow to the north and west. Just over the next couple hours, we go from the ice to the snow in and around the d. C.

Now on sports final mental breakdowns cost the caps and pushed the playoffs further away. I didnt have the best first half. G. W. Finds the power of praise. Mason didnt have a prayer. And the kid takes a seat at the round table. I come into sprang training and wanted to know i was 100 . What harper hopes to prove. The new look of sports final starts now. Welcome into sports final, everyone. The new look of sports final alongside Carol Maloney im jason pew. We have you covered for everything. It started earlier today with the capitals. The stage was set. Verizon center was rocking. Caps fans thrilled to have their team back at home for the First Time Since the olympic break and eager to see them jump back in the playoff picture but blown opportunity. Thats the theme of the day. Alex ovechkin and the caps want to keep this winning going forever, but you know one mistake will cost you versus the flyers, this one especially painful. Leaves the puck behind the net on the power play. Flyers get the puck right in front and adam hall with a rocket. Its a shorthanded goal. Turnover by the caps ties at two. Less than a minute later, mike green to ward. Somehow ward behind the back pat to jay, beautiful. Caps up 32. They would lead 42 at the end of the period, a twogoal lead but it is not safe in the third washington back and forth. Braydon puts demetry and the only problem, orloff called for boarding. The legal review. Cash in on the long power play and a little over a minute left, flyers down one. Goalies pull, pays off. Puts theeflection past braydon, his second goal of the game. Ties it at four. Well head to over time. In ot, billy on the attack. Vincent being oh, no, 54 in overtime. Caps blow a twogoal lead again and they blow a chance to get in the playoff picture. First thing i wrote down, three games in a row. And, you know, you expect the other team to have a push, but lets not give them the push. We almost dont want to the way we were playing with them. We shut our brains off for a little bit. We think the game is over and in this league we should have learned by now that the game is far from over. So i dont think you need to send a memo, 14th time this season they have blown a twogoal lead. The memo would say twogoal lead not safe. That would be safe with the capitals. The marylands Basketball Team won by four points of less, so painful. Doing a lot of things right this season with the exception of winning those close games carol talked about. Today was another contest that came down to the wire and maryland count put the opponent away. Maryland getting to get to 500 in the acc facing clemson. Well pick it up in the final second to regulation. Tied game. Going for the game winner but blocked by mcdaniels. He had six blocks in this game. None bigger than that one right there. 12 seconds remaining in the first over time. Ties the game. Lets go to a second o. T. Just over a minute left. Maryland is up one. Harrison, no, with that threepointer from the corner, clemson takes the lead and they never look back from there. 7773 the final in two over times. All right. Well by george we have action. George mason going against george washington. Gw got off to a slow start in the first half down two in the final minutes before the break. Maurice only shot he made in the first half gave gw the lead. Second half, creek going off. Thats a good thing. Hits from behind the ark. 18 points in the second half and finished with 2 2. Mason trailing by four in transition Corey Edwards to jenkins. Makes it look so easy. The lead down to two. Gw responds big time. Nobody panicking. They crashed the board. The rebound and put back part of a 143 run and the colonials win. Here is creek after the game on his big second half. I didnt have the best first half and i knew that, and went in there and prayed and coach just told me to keep shooting the ball. Not everybody got my joke. This pitcher is on a milk carten, been missing for awhile. I was praying, too. I went to mass early this morning. I told him to keep shooting. Were such a Different Team when we knock down shots. Next, bryce harper on a fresh healthy start. Getting my knee going and see what you can do and not do. Later, hes home and wants to stay here. This is my city. These are buildings i grew up in.
