Are you satisfied with the current plans that are under way for distributing that vaccine . Do you feel the federal government is doing enough at this point . Theres a lot more that has to be done. Theyve clued us in on their planning, on how they plan to distribute the actual vaccine to the various states, but there is no detailed plan that weve seen anyway as to how you get the vaccine out of a container into an injection syringe into somebodys arm. No detailed plan. As this virus spreads unchecked the cdc is for the first time urging universal use of face masks anytime youre outside the home. Just last night biden said as president hell ask americans to mask up for 100 days. Dr. Anthony fauci who is staying onto advise biden says he supports that. Hes saying, hey, folks, trust me everybody for 100 days. Now, it might be after that were still going to need it, but he just wants everybody for a commitment for 100 days.

Freeze. When the wind does drop, our temperatures get a chance to drop more between 10 and 18 miles an hour. You can see it across the area, 9 in Frederick Maryland and the wind speed delivering windchill values that right now most neighborhoods are just above freezing, from feeling like 6 in minneapolis to 7 in manassas. Just below zero in gaithersburg and hagerstown. Even though winds are easing up more tonight, i expect windchill values to be just below zero. Right now, sunshine across the area. The sun sets at 5 18. As soon as it does, were talking about icy conditions with a flash freeze. Black ice, that thin layer that is very transparent and hard to see. And is on bridges and overpas s overpasses. Roads will become very slick. We want to talk about driving slowly. A lot of folks, a little deceived from conditions on area roads. As soon as the sun sets it will get slick. Ill be back with the timeline forecast showing you a chance for a little bit more snow coming your way tomorro
And columbus in the next hour. Our campaign is about big things, because we happen to believe that america faces big challenges. We recognize this is a year with a big choice, and the americans want to see big changes and im going to bring it to this country. And ohio is exactly where the big number worth watching today is focused. Time magazine has the president up by five points in the buckeye state. When you look at women voters in ohio, president obama is up by 19 points. In early voting president obama has a 21 advantage over governor romney in early voting. Msnbcs Joe Scarborough says the new numbers scream advantage obama. If you were mitt romney running against Barack Obamas get out the vote machine, i would say five points looks more like a mountain than a molehill. Theres at least one poll from the ap that indicates the gop is closing the gap with women. The Obama Campaign is dismissing in latest number. Lets bring in the news nation political panel. Karen, thank you so much
