stephen: the nation's capital in the holidays is a time for heightened alert. >> the district is always perennial terrorist target. it is the capital of the country. stephen: on a day of a failed attack in new york city, some here worry about a successful strike. >> washington, d.c., is an attractive target because it's sort of the -- it's the seat of the government but it's a symbol to bad guys. if they could pull off something here, it might be really cool. my guess is if we had anything it's a similar version of what happened in new york today. stephen: but there is a resolve not to alter behavior in the crowd. back live now. that is what the terrorism analysts say. do not give in to the terrorists the way you normally would behave. we really want to stress in talking with the

like snow, unfortunately, there is the possibility for a couple of days here and there. we'll get to that. but this shot, looks like you can go on out. it's a little cool. of course, it's

wind shift. 10:00 in the morning. midday, that is when the front rolls through and it should be dry by the time it gets here. we are not expecting snow. a slight chance of a light snowshower tomorrow afternoon. the big story is the temperature drop. i will start you tomorrow morning to take you to noon. mid-40's by 12:00 noon. by 3:00, we are already near freezing for winchester. we drop to 41 around d.c. 35 in leesburg. by this time tomorrow night, say 6 6 6 6:00, we are all below freezing. by 11:00, we are in the teens and the 20's tomorrow night. that does not account for the windshield factor. by the time we get to wednesday morning and wednesday afternoon, boy, we will struggle. wednesday, a lot of sunshine. high of 32, 33. but when you account for the wind, it's unlikely we will there are times when we stay in the teens with the wind chill factor. then these days here, thursday, friday, while it doesn't look like a big weather system coming through it is different than the last ones in terms of the snow coming down. for the most part it will stick. we are watching that. there is not a huge chance but light snow for thursday and friday. looking dry for the weekend. warmer and back in the 40's. just get ready to layer up mid-week. michelle: thank you, bill. virtual reality, the future of gaming and entertainment. is it worth it? the pros, cons and the wild rides
