Richmond quickly, 1 to 3 down there, in the darker blue 2 to 4, but southwestern virginia i did see spots ranging from 7 to 11 inches all pulling out later tonight. Beyond this the headline will be if youre traveling down to the south tomorrow, watch for slick spots. We barely got any precipitation here other than a bit of light rain and i think most of that will dry up and temperatures probably wont drop for a little while yet, but clouds will decrease and changes in the extended outlook ill tell you about in a bit. No snow here, but a viewer sent this picture from charlottesville this afternoon. Wed love to see your weather photos. You can email them to myweatherphoto gmail. Com. Monitoring about metro tonight. Metro signed a Major Contract to fix the problem of broken escalators, bob barnard with the news. Its a common complaint for metro riders. They get off the train with groceries or luggage and face a long climb up the stairs because the escalators are broken. The Transit Agency signed a 151 Million Contract to replace or modernize 128 escalators across the system. Most of them will be up and running over the next five years, yes, five years, but some will not be online till the year 2020. In the meantime count on more headaches for riders in construction zones like the 1 at Dupont Circle station for one at Dupont Circle station for most of last year. Our capital rebuilding effort thats been underway the last couple years is not about bandaid solutions. Its reconstructive surgery. I think its about time somebody did something about it because most escalators in town arent working at all. Its actually really good theyre going to do something about it. Im glad theyre finally taking steps to repair those, but i know its going to cause a lot of problems. Metro says the project will be funded by federal grants. The pentagon station will be the first to get an escalator makeover followed by bethesda. Weve posted a full list on www. Myfoxdc. Com. Click web links. Lance armstrongs tell all interview with Oprah Winfrey as he admits to doping throughout his career including his seven Tour De France victories. Yes or no . In all seven of your Tour De France victories did you ever take banned substances or blood dope . Yes. I view this situation as one big lie that i repeated a lot of times. As you said, it wasnt as if i just said no and moved off it. Right. You were defiant. Oh, yes. You called other people liars. I understand that. Joining us now is Doug Eldridge with pr Consulting Firm dlc agency. Youve watched the interview from pretty much start to finish. Is it even possible for Lance Armstrong to get across and become a sympathetic figure and feel some emotion . It seems like hes not hard wired that way. What we just saw there was almost a saving private ryanesque opening in the interview. Right out of the gates the bullets came flying. Did you use banned substances . Oprah teed him up and got him right from the gate. In the context of setting the tone for obviously what came in the following 90 minutes and tomorrow evening, the question will be first did lance admit to it . Yes. The second part is does he say hes sorry . We also saw that as well. When we talk about whether or not he can engender sympathy, understanding, im not sure thats really in the scope of things or on his goal sheet so much as it is for the first time to say yes, i did it and im sorry for doing so. If youre going to do this and lay your life out there, i think people in the world of Public Relations would want youd want some people to feel sympathy for you. Heres a man who slandered people and sued people all under a lie. He was a bully and admitted being a bully, but it doesnt seem like in the court of Public Opinion from what ive seen online its getting him anywhere. Ultimately whats the goal if youre not trying to get sympathy . You hit the nail on the head. Were really dealing with two courts, one of Public Opinion and the second of law. Thursday was the presumed deadline for the federal government to join the lawsuit under the false claims act filed by his prior teammate floyd landis which has nine figure implications and jail time as well. This is the duck theory. On the top of the water the ducks head is smooth and nonbobbing while below the surface the legs are churning fervently to proposal the duck forward. What we saw tonight was the head of the duck while lances team is working fervently to bring these issues rapidly to a close behind closed doors. When we talk about objectives and the court of Public Opinion, lance couldnt go out today based on his lifetime of tactics. The old pr mantra is you can be the hammer or nail. You can be proactive or reactive and lance has been the proverbial hammer and always surrounded himself with a very aggressive and Effective Team in that regard. So having that type of background and career strategy as it relates to his image and brand development, you cant then come out and garner sympathy and empathy and immediate forgiveness. It has to be a very matter of fact format and thats what we saw tonight. Thanks for coming in this evening. If you didnt hear it last night, you surely heard it today at work or on tv. A College Football superstar and his star crushed ill fated fake romance, trying to put together the pieces from chicago tonight. Reporter from sports fans to sport writers it seems every 1 took the bait. The story of everyone took the bait, the story of a notre dame star losing the love of his life and rebounding to play like a champion. The Athletic Director for the fighting eyish says no one was duped like manti teo. The single most trusting man ive ever met will never be able to trust the same way in his life. Thats an incredible tragedy. Reporter a statement from teo reads in part, to realize i was the victim of someones sick joke and constant lies was and is painful and humiliating. If teo was a victim, he certainly inflated the story on a national platform, the gestures pointing two fingers to heaven after a big play, one for his late grandmother, one for lennay could he cuba, the girl friend he lennay could he cuba, the girl friend lennay kekua, the girl friend he had never met, no one had. The south bend tribune wrote draping romance tale a dripping romance tale of the first meeting in 2009 that didnt happen. Deadspin. Com reported the First Encounter was over twitter in 2010. Publications wrote of an all night phone call, a comatose kekua increasing her breathing when she heard the sound of teos voice. None of it ever happened. On the campus of notre dame steeped in dramatic football legend, students support the linebacker. I feel really bad for him. It seems like its an awful way for this year that was really magical to end. Reporter new information about who is possibly telling the truth here. Youll remember that teo and the university both claim he learned of the scam december 6th when he got a phone call from his supposed dead girls phone number. Teo mentioned her twice in interviews since then according to the associated press. He mentioned her for a website interview december 8th and again for a newspaper interview december 11th.

Escaped this track that was coming and it looked like on the radar just got blocked kind of like on a football telecast. You could draw a line where the block was. The linebackers are up and a lot of people will be resentful. This was not in the cards for us. It looked yesterday it would all be mostly south, so not a big surprise, but im sure a disappointment. We feel your pain. Ill show you where it did snow down in richmond. They got a big burst and when it came down at that intensity, it was enough to cover the treated roads in richmond. So slipping and sliding down there for 2 inches of snow in the richmond area and farther southwest in virginia down to ft. Blackmore where in and around that region i saw reports of 7 to 11 inches of snow. They got 6 1 2 inches around the Virginia Tech area. So a lot of snow in southwestern virginia and through southern and Central Virginia, not in our direction. The whole thing is pulling out. Lets start with radar. Heres d. C. At 41 degrees. There goes our precipitation, but check it out, eastern shore, are you seeing a little snow . Our radar suggests it may have changed over and is in the process of doing that even for Rehoboth Beach and ocean city and perhaps here for lower st. Marys and the Northern Neck of virginia as this pulls out in the next couple hours. Advisories will be getting dropped. Over to sentinel radar composite picture which shows a lot more precipitation, but you get the general sense the snow is south and a back edge is indeed beginning to show up through southwestern virginia. I know the snow is reportedly over in charlottesville and this storm system spinning down here will produce snow for hampton roads, very heavy rain feeding in, briefly very heavy snow down there, although were thinking a lot of that will melt in that region because temperatures are still pretty warm. In terms of advisories the only one really left in our region, st. Marys county, winter storm warnings down through Central Virginia into the Northern Neck, a few lingering on the eastern snow. For the rest of the metro area we are in the clear and i do not anticipate problems in the morning. 41 degrees in the district, still pretty mild, 40 degrees in annapolis. As the moisture and clouds clear out and we start thinning out the color, temperatures will drop down to about 30 degrees. Heres the area of low pressure that produced it all, snow just to our south. All of it pulls out, weak front slipping through during the day tomorrow. Bottom line its dry, sunny, but as High Pressure builds in and our storm departs we get a lot of wind out of that and those winds out of the northwest at 15 to 25 may make it feel like its in the 20s at time. Dress for the wind chill tomorrow. Tonight about 30 degrees as clouds decrease and breezes pick up. Tomorrow youll notice that breeze as well, northwesterly 10 to 20, maybe 25, our temperature 39, but it will be a nice bright day even if it will feel cooler than 39 degrees. 8 a. M. 38, a few clouds, by noon 40 and by 4 00 36 degrees for a pretty decent friday. Across the area tomorrow it will mostly be in the 30s. Breezy conditions means it will feel colder. Into the weekend saturday 49 degrees. Nice for our visitors coming into town for our inaugural, 46 degrees sunday which is a little bit cooler. Front comes through sunday night and makes our inauguration quite a bit chillier in the upper 30s and looks like passing snow showers and a mix of clouds and sun. Your fox 5 accuweather seven day forecast, here you go. Cold stuff is coming. The weekend is nice. Inauguration 38 degrees and rolling into tuesday, wednesday next week were talking temperatures near freezing, thursday about 39 degrees, more winter cold back in the forecast. Perfect for hockey fans. Thats what scott is starting out with tonight. Heres his sports report. Theres been a lot for the caps to absorb in a short amount of time, but the week long cram session is just about over. The caps leave for tampa tomorrow for saturdays season opener, but tonight a special thank you to the patient fan base, an estimated 10,000 fans poured into the Verizon Center tonight for the free event where they watched practice, eat free food, which is always good, and engage in a q and a with the players. All week the fans have showed up, standing room only crowds at the practice facility certainly hungry for hockey and speaking with owner ted leonsis earlier he expressed his appreciation. Reporter for you to look around and see this, what does it mean to you . Its been so warm and welcoming just to see so many friends and fans back in building is a really good feeling. I said before im very apologetic we lost those 34 games, but put that behind us and drop the puck saturday and tuesday i expect this place sold out again. Well keep our sellout streak alive. To the practice itself one of the last ones for new head coach adam oates before the puck drops. Oates has had a busy week and ready or not the season is here. Of course i think its going to be a very tough game. Of course, its going to be hard for a couple shifts, but i think everybody is going to be ready and its going to be a good game. Theres definitely a lot of kinks, but we feel like were good. Were definitely happy about the system thats going to be played and hope everybodys body feels good. I feel good personally and i hope everybody else feels the same. Coming up one of the most dominant closers in the game has a natitude tonight, the introduction of Rafael Soriano next. Rafael soriano had 42 saves last year closing games for the yankees. Thats the plan this year with the nats. Soriano will go in as the 9th inning guy. The 7th and 8th will be left for Tyler Clippard and drew storen. Then again you dont pay a guy 20 million for two years without that expects. Soriano was introduced today slipping on the curly w and white 29 jersey. Washington has turned into a baseball destination. The gm is happy to have landed such a major piece in soriano. Hes here because hes got great talent, great character, great ability and has done it at the highest level at one of the toughest places to perform in new york city. So hes battle tested. Hes certainly not afraid and hes only going to add to what we believe is a great young deep and talented bullpen. The other big nats news is sending Michael Morse to seattle as part of a three team trade in exchange for pitching prospects. It was assumed morse would be the odd man out once adam laroche was resigned, but today rizzo said it wasnt a given. We wanted to make sure we got the right deal. The right players had to be involved or we wouldnt have made the deal. Once the right players were involved and players that we really wanted for a talented player like michael that i didnt find any reason the to do the deal. Finally former redskins receiver coach ike hilliard has taken the same position with the Buffalo Bills and defensive back coach ra him morris has interviewed Raheem Morris has interviewed with the Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator job.
