Take a look, snow has been falling across our area since a little before midnight. Lets check in with molette green in mclean, virginia. Reporter were on tolly madison boulevard. You can see a plow truck just passed us about 30 seconds being a go. And trying to clear this stretch here that really is not all. Listen, folks, today is a holiday, so that is good news. That means most people dont have to be out and about because the roads are very tricky. The main roads, the secondary roads, are still tough going about if you dont have the right tires and the right kind of vehicles. And its just tough in those neighborhoods and on those side streets all together on a day like this when you dont have to go out, dont go out. Its cold out here, the road surface, pavement, is cold, as well. And so this is sticking and it makes for a tricky Early Morning right out here. There is a car coming down the road going i think a little too fast in these conditions. But, hey, weve warned folks. Stay indoors if you can. Thats the latest live from mclean, virginia. Molette green, news 4. There is no way the senate the should confirm anyone that ba his lifetime in office to a lifetime appointment. Barack obama is president of the United States until january 20th, 2017. Ter battle already beginning over who will replace justice scalia. President obamas choice could tip the balance of the nations highest court. Tracie potts joins us from capitol hill. And no doubt we are in for a fight officer who should replace justice scalia. Reporter yeah, because right now what we have on the court are five conservatives generally, sometimes we get a swing vote there, and four liberals. That balance could tilt with scalia, a staunch conservative, now gone from the court. President obama expected to nominate someone who might be more liberal. That is a concern for republicans. They think key cases out there that are undecided could be affected abortion, affirmative action, immigration. The president S Immigration plan and how that is going to play out in the court. Keep in mind were in the middle of the courts term. There are cases that have been heard by the justices scalia, but we dont have a decision on them yet. And there are other cases still to be heard and decided this term before the end of june. So with scalia gone, if the president is able to nominate someone and get it through the senate, and thats a big if, it could definitely tilt the balance and affect the outcome of some of these cases. But until law makers are able to come to that agreement on a replacement, we will have eight justices on the bench. The court will continue to hear cases. What if its a 44 decision . Reporter and what happens, the lower court decion stands. So basically it could bring some of these screeching halt because even though theyre able to be argued before the court, if there is no deciding factor here with an even number of justices, a different opinions in sometimes different parts of the country will stand and that could turn out to be chaos. So overall it seems to be in the interest to have nine justices on the court, but whether or not this democratic president can get that through a Republican Congress in the last year of his term, very iffy right now. Tracie potts for us on the hill breaking down what is sure to be a big fight in the months to come. Thank you, tracie. A little more about the possible replacements for justice scalia. Lisa vasten oig and paul watford and Melissa Millett and then merrick garland. Justice scalia was widely recognized for his writings to constitutional law. We spoke to a Georgetown Professor who actually argued a medical marijuana case in front of the Supreme Court and says he lost mostly on scalias dissent. I certainly remember i wasnt really happy with his ruling. He wrote a separate opinion which didnt please me, but hes also visit the georgetown several times, he visited my seminar to talk about his new book. Hes been a friend of ghorneorgn and mine. And he clearly remembers scalias questions saying they were the most demanding and gave him the most difficulty in court. Its 4 50. A former new york governor accused of choking a woman at a hotel. Eliot spitzer resigned from office back in 2008 after being linked to a prostitution ring. Well, police are now looking this to whether he woman thin her mid20s at the plaza hotel in manhattan. Spitzer denies the report. Batteries could have stopped the blimp that broke its mooring and flew through hemaryland las year. Batteries that could have deflated it were missing. And if they had been there, it would have landed a few miles from where it broke loose. Snow, rain, sleet, ice. All in the forecast. All of that. It is a mixed bag and it will be a busy next seven days. You betcha. The next 24 hours will be the most critical because we have temperatures way below freezing here this morning. So what is coming down now is all in the form of snow. Likely to stay that way through the Daylight Hours today and then tonight, really concerned about sundown to sunrise tomorrow morning during the transition from snow to rain. Could have a period of sleet or freezing rain this evening. Advisories, Winter Weather winter storm warning along the i81 corridor. These both go until 10 00 a. M. Tomorrow morning. Generally all snow here during the Daylight Hours today, on average 2 to maybe in some spots as much as 6 inches. A risk of freezing rain and ice tonight especially between about sundown and midnight tonight. Be extra cautious. But again, 9 most dangerous tonight is 8 00 to 8 00. So trouble traveling, moderate difficulties around now, but at least its crunchy snow. By tonight, be on the lookout, freezing rain and icy roads may be a real problem. School delays and cancellations are likely again tomorrow morning. Radar for now snow on all corners of the beltway where its heavier steadier snow across calvert, st. Marys, on average one to three inches. Look at the plume of moisture pointing right at us and this will continhr much warmer air down to the south, but that arctic air that was put in place over the weekend is very difficult to scour out. So this will stay cold enough to snow and stick. Temperature now only 18 in gaithersburg, and 19 in manassas. Future weather by 9 00 a. M. This morning, mostly from snow from washington southbound, but the snow is lifting north. So even our friends and naebs here in Northern Maryland will go back into the snow by about mid to late morning up to about lunchtime today. All snow during the daylight showers. Here is 4 30 this afternoon, just before the sun goes down, hey start to change over to rain in Southern Maryland and the northern neck. Overnight tonight, here is 7 00 tonight. Freezing rain likely north and west of i95. Mostly rain down to the south. But again, with already with the roads already covered with snow and ice, this could be a very slippery and dangerous situation. And then into tomorrow. Tomorrow this all becomes a big wash of heavy rain, could get an inch of raini tomorrow with temperatures surging in to the low 50s. So snow today, ice tonight, rain tomorrow. May end with a little light snow very early wednesday morning, but mostly sunny by wednesday afternoon. Thursday, from i look good and just because i know you want to start thinking about springtime, how about near 60 degree weather and sunshine both days for the coming weekend.
