Youll learn all about them coming up. But first is your commute making you sick . Well snow you minute by minute how the drive show whether youre taking the metro or crawling on the beltway, you know that getting around in this area can be a real nightmare and can leave you all stressed out. Tonight in our health alert andrea roane examines traffic stress and the toll it could be taking on all of us. Traffic is becoming one of the defining elements of the washington region, so its becoming a major stress for many people in the metropolitan area. Reporter traffic jams, construction, bad drivers, commuters often admit traffic is getting on our nerves. People that get intensely angry get elevated Blood Pressure. They can even have arrhythmias. Reporter we decided to do an unscientific test to find out how much our commutes truly affect us physically. I dont even know where these people live. It batches me. Reporter meet delwyn hawkins, our case study. We placed an ekg monitor on him to keep track of his heart rate and strapped on a Blood Pressure cuff. Delwyns systolic number on the left is in the normal range. However, his diastolic reading on the right is high. Its 8 23 in the morning and delwyns Blood Pressure is 121 95. Its raining, so im sure the drivers will be extremely cautious scared. They will create more traffic. Reporter it didnt take long for delwyn to come to a complete halt. Were coming to a stop and i am two minutes into my commute. Reporter so we took another Blood Pressure reading 136 93. That puts delwyn near the overall hypertension mark. Its definitely stressful on a day to day. Reporter as traffic starts to move, his Blood Pressure drops slightly down to 131 93. At 9 12 we arrive at delwyns office. He starts to relax. His systolic number goes back down to 128, but the diastolic is actually higher at 97. Our patient was monitored for the total period of eight hours. Reporter we took the ekg monitor to a technician. The device tracked delwyns heart rate throughout the day. During the Morning Hours between 8 14 and 10 14 to be precise his pulse accelerated to up to 116 beats per minute. There are things we need to know about as far as the effects of driving and stress on your physical health, but we do know there are changes already that we could extrapolate. Reporter shortly after the morning commute his pulse dropped back down to a maximum of 87 beats per minute and later to 91. The ride home was relatively smooth. A lot of commuters left early because of snow. Delwyns heart rate was steady the whole time. I cant believe i got home in 20 minutes on a monday. Reporter and his Blood Pressure didnt fluctuate much showing 128 90. Andrea roane, wusa9. Experts say wide ranging studies are still needed to make a more solid link between traffic problems and overall physical stress, but we can tell you a 2011 swedish study shows commutes over 45 minutes have been linked to obesity, poor sleep and a 40 higher chance of getting divorced. We spend our time in the car. I read a study some years ago if your commute is too short, you get home and youre too stressed out from work. You need that middle of the ground. Over 10 minutes was the threshold. I guess the good news is whatever comes from the sky this weekend will not make our commute all this stressful. No. It will be conversational, as my father used to say. Keep your plans for saturday and sunday night. Lets start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, High Temperature 44 today on the button for the average. Its down to 41 now, but really a pretty nice day. Light winds, lots of sunshine, pretty good way to end the week in february. Humidity 47soutat 7, kind of a milder wind. Satellite picture radar combined, more rain in northern and central california, a, good news for them. B, it will keep sending pieces of energy our way the next three to five days. This next system immediately on our radar is down in louisiana and southeast texas. This will skirt essentially off to the east. You follow the clouds. You kind of see it moving east. That will stay to our south. Some high and midlevel clouds tonight and early tomorrow morning, but well stay dry. If we see flakes fly, it will be late in the morning or more likely, saturday afternoon. Heres the radar. Theres a little snow on the Northern Edge of the precipitation, a little mix in dallas, a little snow in southeastern oklahoma, cold rain in louisiana. Temperatures are falling, nothing crazy, 35 in white oak, 37 rockville, 38 reston and fairfax, 40 in old town, college park, waldorf. Kind of cold by annapolis, 35 the last few hours.

Well keep you posted. Monday could be the snowiest day of the next three. Cold start, temps in the 20s, a little snow showers by afternoon, 32 to 37 and the snow showers wrapping up 29 to 35 by evening. Well keep everything in green for now.

Over the years weve become accustomed to dominate basketball programs in the city certain conferences like the wcac. Today Diane Roberts is in landover to introduce us to a new program that she says is looking to shake up the current landscape. Anybody watch the super bowl . No. 1 scoring offense against the best defense out there and the defense prevailed. Play at a level that the other team is unwilling and incapable of matching. Reporter sundays super bowl provided lessons for the Capital Christian Academy girls Basketball Team about the importance of defense and hard work. You mess up. Youre not going to get back in the line. Reporter the landover, Maryland Team is made up largely of former d. C. Standout players. Im a pass first point guard.

So wherever hes going christian. Its great. So wherever hes going im going. I wanted to play for him. I just came over with him. Brion is one of eight former woodson players who joined coach england here. England also brought coach reese on board. With the Coaching Staff assembled and talented players plucked from other schools, the First Year Program has been called a powerhouse. Theyre in the top five of usa todays High School Rankings among nearly 300 maryland schools. Its only your first year. How can you be considered a powerhouse . Well, i dont really know what to say about the powerhouse status. Were Just Another Program thats trying to give the girls an opportunity. Reporter the opportunity england is talking about is scholarships. He says the smaller class size means students get more attention than in Public Schools and can focus on academics. That coupled with basketball acumen can lead to a full ride at college for these young players. If anything, we give them the chance of the exposure. So we are always constantly playing at the events where the College Coaches will be.

Reporter im Danielle Nottingham in frederick county, maryland. Coming up the president signs the farm bill, what it means the 2014 winter games officially got underway with todays opening ceremony. Matt pearl from our sister station wxia in atlanta is in sochi. Here are five observations from his first five days. Reporter observation no. 1, the sochi olympic setup is indeed quite gorgeous. Organizers, of course, spent millions to make it that way, but 1 cannot help but be dazzled by the sloping arenas of the coastal cluster and the stunning Natural Beauty of the mountain cluster, but observation no. 2, so much of that beauty feels temporary, not the mountains, of course, but the venues and olympic fanfare feel situated in the middle of nowhere. Sochi has the same population as rockford, illinois. Now imagine five swanky new arenas flopped down in rockford. You wonder how these buildings will hold up after the olympics go away. Observation no. 3, the weather. The temperature hasnt dropped below freezing since weve been here, but it does change fast. When the sun goes down and the wind starts whipping, calm turns to cold in a matter of minutes. Observation no. 4, two groups at these games have been ever present, security and volunteers. Weave seen forces of many stripes patrolling the venues in the outside town of adler and the volunteers and their bright colors have been a reliable source of smiles. And speaking of smiles observation no. 5, the little moments have brought the most joy. Over the course of a long day one has constant exchanges with visitors of all lands. I traded pins with a woman from iceland, bumped into an olympian from ireland and had a wonderful chat with a volunteer from canada. At an event known for its mammoth price, mammoth games, mammoth everything, these smaller moments have been just as rewarding. I do want to address a few important questions.

The water has been clear but a bit hard and i have had numerous miscommunications because of my butchering of the russian language, but aside from all that everything has been solid here in sochi.
