Theyre not sure if its going to goof up the satellites or not. This morning were getting pushed by the brushed by the storm thats predicted to be a record breaker for the northeast. But once it moves out its going to be a hello and welcome back to wusa9. Our weather is not going to be as bad as in the upper northeast and new england. But we are seeing some effects of it right now. To our delays in shenandoah and loudoun for schools there this morning. Schools in culpeper, virginia are closed. Fauquier county also just got in word they got closed. Were watching that. Thats some snow out to the west of us. Were dealing with a cold rain. Most of the snow has been light sticking on grassy surfaces but there are few areas like in reva, virginia where i showed you earlier they have almost 4 inches of snow and thats on the culpeper and Madison County line. Pockets of heavy wet snow to the west. This morning were dealing with a cold rain in d. C. Its a cold rain in gaithersburg. Ijamsvilles got that snow rain sleet mix going up there from our weather watchers. Temperatures will be climbing toward 40 by 9 00 in d. C. And that may be a little optimistic. But i think our highs in the low 40s today reasonable. 40 to even 45 as we could see some sunshine in spots this afternoon. As the big storm passes us headed on its way to new england. Where theyre expecting an epic historic snowstorm. All the areas in orange from new york city to boston, all of connecticut and rhode island blizzard warnings there. We have winter storm warnings in white and then Winter Weather advisories much closer to home and they go until 10 00 this morning and weve had an amendment to the Winter Weather advisory.

Reports even down in bealton of some snow mixing in but the roads generally just wet there. West of town where were seeing some of the roads actually get snowcovered. Big storm north. Big storm south. And theyre just going to come together. Too far north and east for us snow lovers but maybe thats a good thing when youre talking about 2 plus feet of snow in areas. Theres the snow out west from winchester down towards oh charlottesville through the Shenandoah Valley and some of the higher country out to the west. Southern Frederick County, northern montgomery even, damascus, clarksburg out to dickerson likely seeing that snow as well now. Weve got snow across much of Loudoun County especially the western part of the county. Fauquier too. Extreme northern Prince William county. Bealton reported a little bit of snow.

West of gainesville is where you really want to be careful even on the interstates this morning as howards been telling us. Fauquier, culpeper all of the roads in those areas affected by the snow. Coming inbound though on 270, and the beltway, north of town, we want to be careful out of frederick and then closer in youre okay. Its just the wet Road Conditions although we had a vehicle slip into the guardrail on the outer loop after connecticut avenue a little earlier this morning. So still the rain is a concern. Lets take a live look at 270. Up north at route 109, this is where your brake lights are going to begin already. Even though its friday morning i think a lot of you are deciding to get an early start and thats the reason for this already this morning. Lets go back to the maps this time heading in from the west as we said west of gainesville. Want to be most careful on 66. And a live look one more time this time at 66 at route 50 which is still pretty light heading into 123 and vienna. Back to you andrea and mike. We have another addition far school closing.

Well have the answer in we gotta sell the car. Where would we even start . Get the car. Hi howard. Get in. Hi, good to see you. Start with an actual written offer when selling your car, no strings attached. Carmax. Start here. Welcome back. Howard here with your weather first, want to talk about radar this morning because west of town weve got snow. I just got a report from a friend on facebook, a viewer who said in ricksyville, theyve had 3 inches. Reva had 4 inches this. This is the area thats really seeing the bulk of the snow heading up this way. There are areas northwestern montgomery county, Frederick County even reporting that wintry mix. Well watch that now eventually tapering into showers and highs today 40 to 45. Good morning everybody. The Washington Capitals need a serious jolt of life here pretty soon or even this shortened season will just be a complete wash. Last night against their hated rivals the caps had a chance to redeem themselves provided the season isnt over just yet. Visiting pittsburgh homing for a better showing. If it wasnt for the Second Period the game might actually be close, the penguins had five goals in the Second Period. Two of them within ten seconds of each other. By this third it was just then way too late. The caps lose this one 52. Maryland looking for their first road win in the acc. Taking on virginia tech. Terps on the break. Jake layman with the big three from the right side. He had 14. Eric green the nations leading scorer had a huge night. 29 points for the hokies senior including this three. Does well with the big three late. Terps hold on for a 6055 win. And the best last night was in champagne, illinois. Game tied at 72. Topranked indiana inexplicably forgets about Tyler Griffey who hits the gamewinning bucket at the buzzer. The rankings are shuffling once again. Thats your morning sports, im kristen berset. Have a great day. A big sporting event this weekend will help fight Breast Cancer. Well have more on that in the next half hour. Under the heading you cant be too careful with snow coming. Good luck trying to get a flight to the northeast later today. Good morning, 5 28. It may not be a good morning for people in theyre trying to get to the northeast at least by airplane. Weve got a serious storm up there. In the works, howard will tell us more about that in a moment. Im andrea roane. And im mike hydeck, it also means a lot of flights are going to be canceled in and around the east coast but even for the west coast coming to the east coast. Traffic . Lots of accidents by the way. Already. Right to howard. Weve got snow out west but then all sorts of delays and even a couple of closures, warren, virginia closed. Page, virginia two hours delayed. Frederick, virginia. Frederick, virginia two hour delay. The new one. Howard, maryland. Two hour delay. Prince william two hours, fauquier is closed. Culpeper closed as i see it right now. This is this Culpeper County. I appreciate this picture here from james lynch. Thats about 3 inches of wet snow on his deck he woke up this morning. You can see the snow west of town moving up into Frederick County, maryland and one thing about Howard County theyre getting some reports also in the northwestern part of the county here of some of the snow mixing in and the wet spots. Reports of snow down to bealtop as well as culpeper around here cold rain and you see to our south, some pockets of heavier rain lifting toward us. But were watching the snow now into dickerson. Urbanna, frederick. Leesburg especially western Loudoun County seeing it worse than eastern Loudoun County. I believe the snow goes more into Fauquier County than were seeing you right showing you right now. And especially west and those moderate rain bands the heavy rain bands coming in from the Northern Neck in towards Southern Maryland. Temperatures are critical. Its freezing in frederick and leesburg and westminster and all of these areas even orange right here winchester, thats where we could have the slick spots this morning. Ive been talking with monika before she came out and shes telling me we have smirches thanks to the weather now. Shes here now with timesaver traffic to tell you more. And specifically affecting 66 basically between the plains and haymarket. Is where you want to be most careful. Were getting word from authorities there that there are multiple accidents. Theyre in the serious but not serious but multiple accidents because of the slipping and sliding obviously the snow is sticking to the road and everythings being moved to the shoulder but you will find much heavier than normal traffic coming in from the west because of that in towards gainesville as well. Once in manassas it seems to be pretty normal the roads are just wet in towards centerville. But again out west, as howards been telling us this morning, thats where you want to be most careful and obviously all the secondary roads as well. Lets go outside live. This is what it looks hike coming in from centreville on the inbound side just that normal slow stuff forming at this part of the morning rush hour on a friday morning. Lets go back over to the maps this time heading in from Southern Maryland. We had a few little accidents. One on route 301 near the station road up in upper marlboro. Another live look outside, this time over at the beltway in oxon hill. Mike and andrea . Thank you moon k. It is monika. It is 5 32 just about. Youre probably breathing a sigh of relief when you heard the predicted snowfall totals are mostly up for the northeast. Exactly. Power companies are busy preparing for possible massive power outages, crews have been doubled checking supplies like transformers wires and repair equipment and then moving into the equipment into position. That way repair trucks will be ready to go late today or over the weekend when the weight of the snow starts bringing down power lines and trees. We dont expect that this would be as bad as like a Hurricane Sandy. However having said that we are always preparing for the worst. Hoping for the best. And we have everyone on standby ready to go. Some of the areas that were hit by Hurricane Sandy are worried its been just over three months since the superstorm knocked out power to 600,000 people just in connecticut. Now, awful. Simply horrible story this morning. An annapolis mother is scheduled to make her First Court Appearance on charges she killed her own 2yearold named kassidey. Police say chelsea booth threw the remains in a daughter. They are now searching at a Waste Management facility in jessup. Police are investigating a deadly overnight shooting in Capitol Heights maryland this morning. The victim was first brought to the fire house on jesse road. They tell us it was too late. So far police have not released any more information about a possible motive or any suspects in the case. Metro train riders should prepare for delays this weekend. Red line trains will share a single track between shady grove and twin brook. On the orange line, trains will single track between ballston and west fall church and between stadium armory and cheverly. It starts tonight at 10 00 and runs through closing sunday night. All right, it is 5 33. Time for another your money report. And Jessica Doyle is back and she says you may want to spend some time this weekend looking at your finances. Thats right it is very important at any time to know how much money you have coming in and going out. But many of us really dont have all that good of an idea what the budget actually looks like and they dont follow that it closely. But this is a time you need to move into a mode that personal financial guru suze orman calls live below your means but within your needs and heres why. Because as the automatic federal spending cuts plan to trigger on march 1st residents better prepare for furloughs and layoffs and you need to know what youre going to do with your money if this happens to you. If congress doesnt stop it. Sequestration will slash 85 billion from federal budgets through april 30th. Thats part of the cuts expected over the next decade. Federal agencies have to cut up to 10 from their budgets and thats why the Defense Department plans to four low starting in april furlough starting in april. Employees would stay home without pay one day each week essentially a 20 pay cut. Other agencies including the faa and National Parks are talking about furloughs to tens of thousands. And its no surprise private companies in the Washington Area that serve the government are also expected to furlough or cut jobs or pay. And weve already seen a pullback in our local economy. This is not a new thing over the past 20 months, the Washington Area has lost up to 8900 federal positions and the region is no longer one of the top economies in the country. Now ranking in the middle of the pack for cities nationwide. So knowing all this, and knowing Congress Might at the last second step in with another quick fix, this is what you need to do this weekend. You need to check your rainy day fund. Ideally you need six months of expenses in there and you need to figure out where you can cut from your bills if all of a sudden you get furloughed and lose your job and you take a pay cut. First place to look is entertainment. The dinners out. The movies Texas Concerts the the concerts, the vacation plans. Can you butt cut back there . What about cut back there . What about gas, Gifts Charities . What you dont want to do is spend like crazy over the next few weeks and run up the credit card bills and especially if you dont know whats going to happen at work. You know and even if theres a lastminute solution. This is a c. Change for our economy. Things are not going to automatically be great just because we have the federal government here. In fact were frontal going to look at probably going to look at more of a depressed Economic Activity because of the federal government. Well, thats good for friday. Right. Good advice though. Good advice. Thats right. Prepare and it will be easier on you. That and you said take out and look at the taxes for this weekend. So if we have bad weather spend it indoors. Thanks jess. And jess will be back in just a couple of minutes to unveil, she has some friday daily deals for us, good news. And still ahead welcome back. 5 38 on this raw, raw friday morning. Weve got some snow west of town. Even 3, 4 inches across parts of Culpeper County this morning. Many delays and closings out there that way. The snow west to northwest. Otherwise, that will taper just to a few showers this afternoon. Chilly with highs in the low 40s for the most part. And then the winds pick up tonight. More on the weekend forecast and the big noreaster in a few minutes. Right now inside to monika with timesaver traffic. If you want to be most careful as howards been telling us all morning, inbound on i66 basically between the plains and haymarket, over here on 395 things seem to be pretty normal.

Going to be an epic storm for them. The snow habenalling west and generally has been falling west generally west of route 15 if you will and then were watching the bands of rain from the south moving in. In northern montgomery. Were seeing that mix of snow and rain and sleet. Into parts of howard too. Thats why theyve got a two hour delay in Howard County. Frederick back toward loudoun especially western loudoun seeing it. When you get the Fauquier County, now youve got some problems too. But this is all lifting to the north and probably not picking up a little bit of the snow in toward charlestown as well and it goes into the Shenandoah Valley as well where were getting some reports for a little bit of coating even on the road surface there and theres your more moderate rain now. Waldorf south into the Northern Neck. Prince frederick, st. Marys county, mechanicsville all headed your way with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. And andrews is hovering near freezing but were at 34. Its 35 in annapolis. Leesburg is freezing along with frederick and winchester. So this is where you really got to watch for some of the slick spots on the area roads. Outside it is just a raw morning. As we look at our Current Conditions of 34 with the light rain showers feeling like 27 thanks to that north northeast wind at 8. But that wind is really going to howl once this storm moves north. Takes the energy from the western system and deepens those winds tonight could be cranking to over 40 miles an hour and some gusts with some snow showers. Heres the timetable. Western maryland, well get toward noon and out west were drying out. Big storms cranking offshore which this thing is headed for new england. Perhaps a shower or two this afternoon. And a few snow showers tonight before we clear out and the snow just pounds these areas overnight through early afternoon on saturday. 20, 3inches of snow 30 inches of snow not out of the question. 43 today the morning rain, the snow west.

Reporter monika we just pulled up to the airport here. But take a look out here. This is about the busiest that ive seen the airport at this early hour. Perhaps a lot of the folks and the cabbies dropping off people heading to the airport trying to get out before this storm really strikes. But lots of cancellations so far. Weve canceled about 12 heading to new york. Eight heading up to boston. Well have much more details coming up at 6 00. Back to you monika. Thanks so much delia.

Also route 50 west of route 17, we just got word of an Accident Route 17 winchester road. Now closer in you can see the traffic is getting heavy coming in from i would say the fairfax area through vienna right now. Lets take a live look outside and show you what it looks like on the northbound side of i95 and again usually friday mornings i call it friday morning light. Not this morning. I think a lot of people have decided to get an early start and it slows down 644 heading up towards springfield as well. You want to watch out and give yourself some distance and some extra time. Andrea back to you. Thank you monika. Tomorrow is the ninth of the month but you dont have to wait until then to call your buddies.

Mary is an inspiration; shes gone through a lot. Oh, yeah. Okay 5 54. Theres a new film genre called a pharmaceutical thriller . Well review the new movie called side effects coming up. She had a falling on the floor in bridesmaids. Part of it i didnt like all of it. Well have a look at the new and welcome back. Lets take a peek at the new movies opening in theaters today. Originally the leads in identity thief were both supposed to be men but then the director seth gordon saw Melissa Mccarthy in bridesmaids and he changed his mind. She plays a thief who steals Jason Batemans identity. After a long absence our entertainment insider Denise Fuentes is back this morning. The movie shes seen has been described as a they willerment its called thriller. Its called side effects. Whats that and what did you think . We normally would think it has to do a lot with taking drugs and maybe some side effects and therefore its and mood enhancing drugs in this case right . You know this is steven sederberg. A lot has been said about the retirement and you know this is one of the hardest working men in hollywood. And i think one of the most diverse and best Story Tellers in hollywood. And so its a background he was the director of traffic. Yes. He was the director of that movie and also contagion. He burst on to the scene with sex, lives and videotape and basically done almost 30 movies in this time. In this particular movie. Roonemara is almost completely unrecognizable. Thank goodness. In a different light. She almost looks like in this movie. Shes perfect for the role and this is as you said its a it looks like it could be a psychological thriller but the gang is back. Captain jones, jude law, channing tatum. Rooney mara is the new leading lady i guess and this is the first leading role after dragon tattoo. And you have to give her credit. I think shes excellent. Shes still depressed in this movie. Just you got to see this movie because basically it takes along a path that youd be surprised at the end. It really is a thriller about revenge. And you have to give it to steven because hes the hardest working man in hollywood. He not only directed the plea view and also shot the movie but also shot the movie under his name and also edited the movie. Still has the artful sense like traffic did didnt it . Its a little less thoughtful than traffic and the social commentary is not as thickly laid like it was in traffic. But its got enough twists, its a curvy road in riviera. Good advice. Thank you so much. Rooney mara is going to win the oscar when she does a comedy. Thank you for watching wusa9 at 6 00 a. M. Good morning, im andrea roane. And happy friday. We have a long list of closings and delays and theyre adding up quickly. Monika will be back in a alment with timesaver traffic
