Through manassas and northbound 95 to head both into quantico and into woodbridge at this point. Thats a look at the ride. Howard has our forecast, our frigid forecast. Brutally cold for this time of year. This should be cold for january. So really cold stuff. We should be in the mid50s. Well be lucky to get to 35 today.

Its very cold out here and we waited a lot of people coming in and out of the metro bundled up head to toe trying to stay warm in the winter weather. As soon as it gets cold like thrk the first thing dow is crank up the heat. Thats what most people do. Unfortunately that means well start to see those heating bills come up and come in. This year is no exception. If you use natural gas, the cost of natural gas is up by 5. 8 . Wholesale prices are higher and the cost of natural gas, even though it is the most popular option, it is going to rise this year. So youll see an increase in your bills in terms of that. Electricity costs, well, theyre associated with the cost of natural gas. Youll also see an increase in that, especially for people who use those options in the northeast. Really the only people heating their homes who will see a break in their bills this year will be those who use heating oil because those costs are down. Unfortunately that is the least popular option as most people use natural gas and electricity. A few things you can do of course is to call your company and ask if there are any things you can do to keep your bill at bay. They will offer a lot of options. Its just something to keep an eye on. If its already this cold right now and it is still technically autumn as you said, its only going to get worse. Hopefully well get a break sooner rather than later.

Nathan goyle, an Orthopedic Surgeon with the inova joint replacement center. Are you there . Yes, thank you. Glad to be here. Good morning. Good morning. So, the question is are aching joints really aggravated by cold wementer like were experience weather like were experiencing right now . It s. Its like the old war injuries you hear about. People can tell the change in barometric pressure because of them. Achy joints is the same way, arthritis the same way. We see an influx of patients as the weather turns as their hips and knees start to bother them more. Youre ready for the influx ever patients but are you going to be seeing more men or women . Is there a Different Age Group that is more affected by the joint problems . Osteoarthritis affects both genders pretty equally. Its usually an age range of about 50 to 70 years of age but we sometimes see people in their 90s and sometimes see people in their late 30s. You know, i did a joint replacement two weeks ago on a patient that was 23 years old for a unique reason. Its a wide range of ages. What is the determining factor for doing the replacement, a partial or full replacement . What has to be happening to that persons quality of life before she or he and the doctor says weve got to get this thing changed completely . Thats a great question. I think the biggest thing is its got to affect them on a daily basis. Hurt them in the morning, think about their joint when they get up in the morning and when they go to sleep at night. If it gets to that point, thats when you should start considering the replace machines. If its limiting your quality of life, youre not able to do the things wasnt to do, cant walk, cant do the sports you want to play, its an operation so you have to be willing to go through the recovery, the risks and go through the physical therapy involved. And then if youre willing to do that and its affecting you, thats when you should consider it. Whats really amazing is you have these replaced joints and doctors get you up it seems almost immediately, at least sometimes the day of the surgery they try and get you moving that affected joint or even walking if its the knee. Thats the key to the recovery. I did the first outpatient hip replacement at Inova Mount Vernon hospital about a year and a half ago.
