Rain to the south. Very splotchy in nature. The real precipitation, the real area of rain way back to the west. But by the time that gets here it will be warm enough for all rain. We still have to contend with the areas of freezing rain. Take a look at the numbers. 29, the temperature right now in d. C. Only 23 in martinsburg. That tells us that it will be prolonged periods of freezing rain as we move through the night tonight. Some locations picking up a tenth to potentially a quarter inch of freezing rain. And thats why we still have the winter storm warnings in effect for everybody in the pink. Montgomery county, anne arundel, and howard county, but everybody else under that winter storm warning. The next thing, we did have areas of snow this morning and that caused a lot of problems out there. Lauren is here with some of the snow totals we saw. Some of the snow totals and the reason we had the high snow totals, it was so darn cold. For every one inch of water you get 20 inches ofow we didnt see 20 inches but we saw upwards of nine in calvert county. 8 in st. Marys county. In d. C. We got 4. Further to the north and west, under 3 inches of snow accumulation. Win chest bchester an inch and. Southern mad gryland got a lot. As we continue into the road forecast, areas of ice tonight because we have that freezing rain that doug was talking about, that can continue into tomorrow morning. Especially north and west of town. By tomorrow afternoon we think well be good but we will have some flooding to deal with. Thats exactly right. The next weather comes with the potential for rain. For drivers who ventured out in virginia, it was the early hours of the storm that were the most challenging. Julie carey was on the road for hours checking conditions. She joins us live. Shes in south riding in Loudoun County. What did you find reporter hey, guys. Ive got this up so you can see whats coming out of the sky right now. Its freezing stuff, either sleet or freezing rain. Ill leave it to doug to tell you which. But out and about today, we have seen plows absolutely everywhere, which is why what we are mostly seeing on main roads, just off the Loudoun County parkway, roads are just wet, but early this morning much more treacherous conditions. In fact, state Police Report that there is one fatality tied to this storm. Out near marshall, virginia, where an suv hit a snowplow head on killing the driver of that suv. We saw another one later today out in ashburn parkway out in ashburn rather off of Loudoun County parkway. Early this morning the subdivisions still snow covered. As the day wore on and the plows got to work, this is pretty light and fluffy stuff, to two get rid of it in pretty quick order. Coming up on news4 at 5 00, well check in with the snow shovellers to see how they rate this snow. Back to you now in the studio. Thanks, jules. Right now in the district the crews are working to keep the drivers and pedestrians safe from the snow and the ice. Mark segraves is live along kennedy street in northeast. Whats it like out there . It looks pretty. Reporter hey, wendy. Yeah, its a Winter Wonderland out here. This is a pretty typical side street, kennedy in northeast. A plow just came through here about a minute ago, but still slushy, still messy, and prime for freezing over tonight. But take a look at north capital street, one of our major roads. All but clear, just a very wet road, and thats how most of the rager roads throughout the district look right now. Take a look over here. This is going to be the problem facing most problem tomorrow many sidewalks that didnt get cleared and will freeze over tonight and could pose a real hazard tomorrow morning. We spoke with the director of dpw in d. C. Earlier this afternoon about how his crews are attacking the roads. Weve actually been at work since 11 00 p. M. Last night. And so were on 12hour shifts until the snow is up and the roads are clear. Reporter now, mayor bowser has once again exempted residents from the legal requirement to shovel their sidewalks, but businesses could face fines if they dont do it and inspectors will be out checking businesses but not residences. As for metro, metrobuss are running on a Severe Weather delay, that means only on major routes and there will be delays. Metrorail is running on a saturday schedule because of the holiday. Reporting live in northeast, chris, back to you guys. What a difference from one street to the other. Thanks, mark. Here is a live look at some of the roads in our area. Highway officials are promising to keep them salted as they try to prevent them from in maryland each route takes about an hour to complete, so keep in mind some roads will be more dangerous than others. Transportation reporter adam tuss is out in the storm team4 x 4. Youre in the Fort Washington area now. What is it looking like out there . Well, chris, what weve seen in the last even couple minutes is that changeover to rain. You can see the main road there to the right, thats 210. Thats looking already right now and you still got to take your time but come over here to a side street and this part of the area started to see a little bit more snow, and this is what youre dealing with here, and right here theres a little bit of glaze in this particular area. So you got to be really careful if youre coming down to some of these feeder roads that head out to your neighborhood. That is what youre going to have to watch for. Of course, everyone b talking about the freeze and whats going to happen with that. The snow pretty much is done with here. We got to worry about the rain, see what happens with that. Well drive around all over the area. Tell us what youre seeing out there. Back to you guys. Thanks, adam. I think you could tell from julie, mark, and adam, the snow wasnt as disruptive as it could have been because a lot of folks were off for president s day. Which is a good thing but pat collins did not have the vacation. Hes been thinking about his latest snow stick challenge given the holiday. Hes live on connecticut in northwest. What you got cooking there, pat . Reporter well, wendy, do you want one of these . Do something patriotic in the snow. Do something patriotic with the snow. Its president s day.

Hey, can we get a little patriotism here . Im a Yankee Doodle dandy Yankee Doodle do or die reporter the Washington Monument. It is postcard pretty. And the snow here about 3 1 2 inches deep. The lincoln memorial. How much snow is here . Dont take my word for it. Listen to some cub scouts from leesburg. How many inches of snow do we have here . 4xd 1 2. Reporter can they do something patriotic in the snow . You bet they can. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice reporter you got to love those cub scouts.

Whether its snow, sleet, freezing rain, or nothing at all, keep us posted on what youre seeing outside. Storm team4 is tracking the radar all night long. And flags flying at halfstaff as we check in on the campaign trail as the top candidates react to the death of this is a storm team4 weather alert. Well, were tracking all of it here on the storm team4 radar. Mixed bag of stuff. Maybe we have a little bit of snow. Were mainly seeing freezing rain and thanks to the twitter followers i have im getting reports of sleep in the shenandoah valley. You can see how spotty it is. Then weve got all this thats going to move through. We have heavy rain going to be knocking on our doorstep overnight and then through the morning rush. So this is what were looking at. Temperatures are actually rising, and were going to be at 30 at 8 00 p. M. But look at that, 32 by midnight. Were up to near 40 by 7 00 a. M. But its a messy morning commute. Well be talking more about that in a few minutes. If youre planning to use metro tonight, the system is running on a saturday schedule. That means metro is offpeak fares. Trains only run every 12 minutes. Park something free as well. Stations are going to close at midnight. Lauryn just took you through the forecast for the next 24 hours.

All that snow and freezing rain. And right now were going to take a look at a live picture of the white house where flags are flying at half stf staff in hof Supreme Court justice antonin scalia. The plane carrying his casket arrived at dulles just before midnight. Just as i died of apparent Natural Causes on saturday, he served on the high court for 30 years. 79 years old. Justice scalia was a reliable if not the most reliable conservative vote on a divided court, so maybe its no surprise that republicans and democrats are already arguing over whether president obama has the right to appoint a nominee of his choosing. We have new reaction from the campaign trail. This is all theyve been talking about, brian. Reporter absolut Justice Scalia would have loved. At its core its the letter of the law versus the intent of the Founding Fathers in writing the constitution. Even as washington prepares to say farewell to justice antonin scalia, its at war over his replacement and whether president obama should make the choice. This country has not gone with a yearlong vacancy on the Supreme Court since the civil war. Reporter democrats are outraged by Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnells declaration he wont consider a nomination until the next president takes office, and that battle has spread from congress to the campaign trail. The senate has a duty to consider that and to decide whether or not to confirm whoever the president nominates. Im not saying that obama shouldnt do it. Im just saying the republicans should not allow it to happen. Reporter republicans are vowing to make this election a referendum president will fill that open seat. We were reminded on saturday evening by an untimely death of what the stake are in this election. We are one justice away from losing our fundamental rights in this country. Reporter but not everyone is comfortable with this fight. Scalia dies in one second after hes dead theyre already starting to fight about politics. Reporter politics but both sides agree on the stakes. A seat that could determine the high courts direction for decades to come. And legal scholars point out that republican nominees have been in the courts majority for the past 44 years. Chris . All right. Thanks, brian. Brian was talking about the campaign. Well, in just over an hour, former president george w. Bush is going to arrive in South Carolina to rally support for his brother jeb. President bush won a bruising South Carolina prescribe marry on the way to the white house. Now the bush presidency is part of this Years Campaign thanks to donald trump. He criticized the and noted the september 11th attacks happened while bub bgeo. Bush was in office. He will yoelliotiot spitzer investigation for an alleged assault. Sources tell nbc news on saturday night spitzer and a woman in her mid20s were headed up to one of the rooms. Thats where he allegedly assaulted her. Spitzer has not been charged and denies the report. If you recall, it was 2008 that spitzer resigned as governor because of a prostitution scandal at the mayflower hotel. Today family and friends are remembering one of the two horford Sheriff Deputies killed in the line of duty. Patrick dailey responded to a call at panera bread where a man named david evans shot him in the head. Mr. Daileys visitation takes place until 9 00 tonight and again tomorrow with a funeral wednesday. Visitation for Deputy Mark Logsdon is on thursday and friday. His funeral is on saturday. Weve got a bit of a hassle on this as we start the week and we already have some school closings, doug. Yeah. Those school closings, stafford county, Spotsylvania County, two of the hardest hit counties. Some of those areas picking up 5 to 8 inches.

Winter weather advisories to the north. Snow to ice. Freezing rain right through midnight tonight. A tenth of an inch inside the d. C. Metro to a quarter inch back to the west. Expect those slick roads. Here is future weather. Timing it out for us. By early tomorrow morning around that 6 00 a. M. , were going to be seeing that freezing rain thats going to be making its way on in here. The snow moving up but 6 00 p. M. Tonight. Then look at that we see, freezing rain right on through the d. C. Metro area back to the west. This is the time i think that were really going to see the problems between, say, 8 00, 9 00, 10 00 tonight. As we move through the next couple days it is rain tomorrow and then much nicer conditions. Take a look at the numbers. 54 on your tuesday. 48 on wednesday. 39 on thursday. 44 on friday, and wendy mentioned this weekend, yeah, we get that the 60s. We just have to get through tomorrow.

We had an interesting snowfall and now we have some sleet falling out there as a whole mess of rain and moisture starts moving into our area from the south. And thats going to be bringing some interesting weather later this week. The week is going to be ending very differently than how it begins. But when freezing weather hits, sidewalks and driveways can become dangerously slick and the best and safest deicers on the market, well tell you about them next. Cleaning up from todays snowfall with the hope that rain will wash most of this away. Im Tracee Wilkins. Coming up on news4, a look at how southern Prince George county fas re right now at 4 30, the snow is over. Now comes the sleet, freezing rain, and ice. Weve had our crews all over the area checking out conditions today. Here is what it looked like in d. C. Earlier at the height of storm. In Loudoun County plows were out clearing the snow from the side roads ant the side streets. Southern maryland usually escapes the brunt of the storm. This time they got the worst of it.
