Moving in. Im jan jeffcoat. Im derek mcginty. Arlington, prince georges, fairfax, Loudoun County schools and many more making the call for a twohour delay tomorrow. I guess its once burned twice shy thanks to this nasty helping of Winter Weather. As you head out tomorrow brace for a refreeze, slick roads and the potential for lake effect snow showers. Lets get right to first alert meteorologist erica grow. I think it was a smart move to issue delays first thing because we have the potential for black ice and lots of slick spots. Its going to cause tough travel early in the morning. Tonight partial clearing and refreezing on untreated surfaces, but also some of the areas that got the initial treatment, its either going to be too diluted or maybe got washed away during the snow melt that we had during the day today. So there is high potential for lots of black ice out there tomorrow morning and once that sun angle gets up there and helps to warm up the road surfaces, then the kids will be able to safely get to school after this twohour delay. In the afternoon the wind will be brutal gusting to 40 Miles Per Hour. That will give us wind chills in the teens, even Single Digits all day long. You can see that here on the feels like forecast. As were stepping out tomorrow morning, its going to feel like the tens for many of us teens for many of us, maybe around 10 degrees and then Single Digits in the afternoon wednesday, thursday morning even worse, wind chill values below 0 in the far northern and western suburbs. This is what well wake up to, partly cloudy and just cold. Watch out for that black ice and it gets windy by 9 a. M. Well look at the wind gust tracker coming up in the first alert sevenday forecast. Winds could be gusting up to 40 Miles Per Hour. Make sure you stay with wusa9 for up to the minute snow coverage. Well be on early again tomorrow morning at 4 a. M.

As erica mentioned, for now were in the clear for more snow, but that Winter Weather is sweeping through our area. Thats going to make for nasty conditions tomorrow morning. Mola lenghi is live in d. C. Youre already on some slick roads, right . Reporter thats right, derek. The Winter Weather today is still having an impact tonight, roads, sidewalks still an issue, especially on many of the side streets and backroads just like this. Theyll continue to be an issue tomorrow. In some states if youre from michigan, a couple of inches doesnt bother you. You barely notice, but a few inches in our area often causes a few problems. This morning it was horrible snow. Reporter whether it was the snow itself or the reaction to it that was horrible, either way we had problems. In my four wheel drive subaru and we slid about 10 feet to the right and hit the curb gently and it whacked the mirror. Reporter tim flowers got out a shovel and help dig out his neighborhood. A lot of time the crosswalks get filled up with snow by the plows and try to clear that so people can get across without falling on their rear ends. It was okay from about noon onward. Before that i think it was pretty bad. Reporter not bad enough for roberta tallmidge. When she was your age she walked 3 miles in the snow every morning. Actually that happened this morning. Im a chicago an, so when it snowed, i walked my 3 miles to work. Its gorgeous. Reporter tell that to the lawrences who after a close call in their subaru had another close call on foot. We almost slipped on ice earlier. So were expecting black ice. Now im waiting for tomorrow. Its supposed to be the big freeze. Now that the snow is gone well look at wind chills becoming the main factor. Reporter erica says tomorrow keep an eye on untreated surfaces that have refrozen. The roads will have some areas of black ice, especially sidewalks that didnt get a good coating of the deicer. Theyre going to be a concern in the morning and there might even be some trouble if the snow kind of melted in some of the cracks in your car that it might be hard to get the door open in the morning. Reporter tonight some folks are already preparing for tomorrow and it sounds like roberta tallmidge will be ready. Ill bundle up and if its not too cold, ill try walking again. Reporter while tomorrow morning is likely to be an issue for commuters, erica points to tomorrow afternoon single digit wind chill temps. The afternoon commute, evening commute, will likely be affected by those as well. So its not just the morning commute. Were also looking at the afternoon commute as well. Im mola lenghi for wusa9. Social media blasted Fairfax County Public Schools today for opening and remaining open through the nasty weather. It did end up trending internationally on twitter. Students took to the site and snow coated pavement to voice displeasure they had to go to school in such conditions. Fairfax county Public Schools got the message loud and clear. Unfortunately, kids, you still have to report to School Tomorrow on a twohour delay. Todays weather did a number on air travel. More than 800 flights were canceled at airports across the midwest and east coast including about 200 flights at Reagan National alone. More flights were behind schedule and pepco is reporting there are still 6100 outages in the Dupont Circle area. This storm pummeled a lot of the country with snow, ice and chaos. There was dangerously coal wind chill across the plains, negative 22 in fargo, minus 34 in langdon, north dakota, fierce winds and a wind chill of minus 4 in chi town. More than 200 pileups around minneapolis made the icy roads look more like demolition depots than highways today. Residents in sioux falls, south dakota, began their day clearing away the wreckage and 6 inches of snow dumped by yesterdays storm and in des moines the snow and ice led to more than 50 accidents. In northeast ohio a familiar sight, snow coming fast and heavy quickly covering the highway, but today that was just a buildup to a whole week of residual refreeze, bitter cold, wind and a whole lot of work. Another top story were following tonight, the sentencing of former Virginia Governor bob mcdonnell. Tonight mcdonnell is extending an apology to the people of the commonwealth admitting he might have made some mistakes but says he never violated his oath of office. Mcdonnell will spend two years in federal prison for corruption charges. The conviction of which governor mcdonnell said he will appeal came under federal law because virginias ethics laws on gifts are vague and some say too weak. Hank silverberg is here with the report on renewed efforts to change that. What did you find out . Bob mcdonnells conviction and sentencing have brought on repeated requests for the laws to be tightened up. The General Assembly will convene its session next week. I am a fall human being. Ive fallen human being. Ive made mistakes in my life. Reporter among the things that led to mcdonnells federal corruption conviction was taking expensive gifts from a businessman in exchange for promoting a dietary supplement, but state prosecutors chose not to file charges because virginia law is vague on the rules limiting gifts from lobbyists. Since the conviction there have been several suggestions for changing that. I filed my own bill that would just have a 100 cap on all gifts to all lawmakers and basically completely junk the Current System which is you can accept any gift at any time. Reporter the Current Governor Terry Mcauliffe is also going to propose changes and those who watch the legislature in action say the former governors troubles may finally bring change. The 1 consensus is they dont want this dragging on very long. The state legislators have to go to the voters in november. The house of delegates, 100 seats are all up, the 40 senate seats are up in november and what they do not want is this session devoted to a conversation about how crooked virginia politics is. Reporter the current rules do not limit lobbyist gifts and gifts from others. The laws have been extraordinarily loose and a lot of selfregulation or self enforcement and thats not a philosophy that will really allow for much. Reporter in the meantime prosecutors home the conviction sends a message to lawmakers in virginia which until recently had an image of being a corruption free state. Corruption foes a significant threat to our security and way of life. Reporter peterson says after the conviction and sentencing of the former governor, some lawmakers may be actually running scared on the issue. I hope so. If it doesnt take this to change your attitudes and to say hey, the Current System is not okay, i dont know what its going to take. Reporter the Current Governor Terry Mcauliffe issued a Statement Today calling on the states leaders to restore public trust in government. Its yet to be seen if that will include new ethics rules.

Its a good things the kids are on a twohour delay, at least a lot of them, because well have lot of black ice tomorrow morning, lots of slick spots and once you get further into the morning the sun angle helps to warm up those spots.
