what happens with kirk? he has meet and greet coming up on friday maybe he'll riri veal this future plans but probably w't what's ahead for the new year fort jr. broken kins liz with the washington post. we don't typically talk redskins this time of the morning but such a big thing right now. not just the kirk season. the end of the season relook back and reflect. with the new year let's look forward right now. i guess number one the injury bug that was with this team. is it something that can be prevented or not? >> you'd like to think so and like to think that there are ways that the team can help players, um, you know, get in shape before they start sustaining all the hits, and recover after the hits. and there are a lot of players who in this era believe in yoga and pilates and working their soft tissues. so they're going to look into that and it needs to be a priority. >> literally had almost half of the active roster. >> yes. >> equivalent on injured reserve this year. >> yes. >> which seems to be an out liar compared to past seasons. can you look at that now with the glass half full and say, okay, if anybody thee it would be a better team or this is football these things happen you have to be prepared. >> sure. i think the decision to bring back coach jay gruden for a fifth season fans are pretty split. if you want to make the case for gruden you, definitely point to injuries. i think that's a legitimate thing. i mean, to close jordan read, chris thompson two of your key player makers on offense, the first round pick in the draft, again, to injury, i would argue that had they had all those players available, they would have won two or three more games minimum and that probably would have put them in the playoffs. >> i didn't happen, though. >> no. >> let's start with a couple of things here. liz, you covered this team for a very long time. >> yes. >> that decision to keep grey jay gruden, good decision or not? >> i think it was good decision. dan snyder and his 19 years of owning the team he's been through eight coaches, and if there's one broad umbrella, um, dysfunction witness redskins i think the past two decades it's so i think there is an argument to be made for staying the course with the coaching staff. or with gruden and we'll see what he does with his staff. >> right. gruden stays on. yesterday he has his end of the season. >> yes. >> press conference. what did you take out of that, what he said? anything stand out to you? >> probably the luke warm summation of kirk cousins se season. um, he complimented kirk fort 4,000 yards which is third consecutive year of 4,000 yards. did a lot of good things but they missed the playoffs, and had a losing record, and quarterbacks ultimately are judged by losing records. so it wasn't a resounding thing like he's my guy. >> right. >> we're going to grow together. and he's complimented him throughout the season. so it wasn't a smack down but it was just kind of clear eyed frank, you know -- >> if we were to read into that, would you look at it like we're trying to soften the blow if he does leave for the f him, or do you look at it this can go either way. if we do keep him we said, okay, we didn't say anything bad about him. >> right. right. those are good questions. i don't see gruden as a guy with a lot of guile. he's pretty frank. but, upping, the thing -- the thing that made the nfl so successful it's a bit of par paradox. so it succeeds because fans develop this attachment to the players. but it also succeeds because owners don't develop an attachment to players. they're not sentimental, and it's always a business decision. and because of the redskins inability to sign kirk cousins when the price was lower. >> right. >> they're looking at now having to pay an exorbitant amount to keep him from leaving and so they're not able to say, is he a good quarterback? can we win with him? not question is, is he a franchise quarterback? is he like one of the top five? that's an extraordinary bar. >> much more business decision >> yeah. >> look, every other media outlet in the country saying, denver is a great fit for him. we've seen carson palmer retired in arizona. does he stay or does he go? what's your gut feeling now. >> my guess he'll go. i don't think the skins will pay what he takes to franchise him. he hasn't shown a lot of interest in negotiating toward a long-term deal. i think in his case, it's not about i want the top dollar. i think his decision will be based on he wants to play for a team that is stable. an organization with a history of stability. he wants to play for team that believes in him. and he wants to play for a team that's going to contend for super bowls. who wouldn't want that? but that's consistently his criteria and it's hard for us to i think realize that he's had no say in this workplace for six years. >> um-hmm. >> and who among us wouldn't want to have a little self-determination. >> at least the opportunity. >> yeah. based on the three tighe criteria you gave in the last three years i think he's zero for three witness skins. >> i think so. >> liz, good to talk to you. liz clark long time washington post sports reporter. let's turn things over to tucker and check on the frigid for forecast. >> steve, got a new record. new record fell this morning. dulles airport hit 1 degree. that beats the old record i think it was eight set back in 1979. so record this morning out at dulles. 15 in washington now. three in pittsburgh. minus two columbus. listen, culpeper manassas areas near zero this morning. very very cold start to the day. developing storm system northern florida. we've got winter storm warnings extend through good gash the carolinas right up through the eastern shore and new england. and we'll watch this storm very carefully take shape over the next 24 hours. bottom line for us, we'll have a period of snow around here late tonight early tomorrow morning particularly south and east of washington. that's where the heaviest of the snow will be i'll show you expected snow totals in just a minute but that will be the big story. we're going to get dusting to maybe an inch locally by tomorrow morning but it will stick. all right. your planner for today, hoping to get temperatures above the 3l sunshine with clouds this afternoon. okay. plenty more weather in just a minute. katelyn who's mon or i don't know very very busy. >> roads. yesterday was a delay. still on vacation. we're all back now and tomorrow just wait, tuck, throwing snow into the mix i believe most of our snow we've had so far really been on the weekends. so yeah. tomorrow will be a test. 395 northbound right before boundary channel drive you see this crash right here. moved to the right shoulder. not blocking any lanes but slow traffic around that curve and then as you merge through 395 northbound, so that is a jammed spot for you, elsewhere outer loop after 270 spur still have this crash that block the shoulder. i can see the police presence still on the right-hand side of screen causing slow travel th there. also 395 up towards seminary road jammed to traffic as well. these are all just slow spots but we do still have pennsylvania avenue northbound at suitland parkway a crash fox5 will be right back. ♪ ♪ well brace yourself. there's bad news for apparently chocolate fans. the world's chocolate supply slowing melting away. >> according to various reports the sweet treat could be extinct in mere 40 years. >> okay. >> what do you mean?

steve. that's right. some of these buses in fairfax county and in montgomery county just can't handle the frigid temperatures. and basically what happened was the kids came back from a two-week winter break yesterday and a lot of these buses like the ones behind me, they have been sitting in the bus those two weeks without engines running and so when they came in on tuesday morning some of these stalled, some wouldn't even start up and so we saw about 200 routes being impacted by this yesterday and we're seeing the same thing. not as bad as yesterday but we're seeing the similar thing happen this morning. what you're looking at right now is the fairfax county website for bus delays and if you take look here, they're citing break downs, bus troubles. we've got two buses headed for holmes middle school running behind by 30 minutes because they broke down. a bus for cooper middle school also broke down. so there's a 30 minute delay. some businesses for fairfax high school, south lakes high school and mount vernon high school are running behind by 20 to -- 52 tone 20 minutes, and then off bus headed to montrose alternative learning center in the alexandria section of the county. they are experiencing bus trouble and running hyped by 30 minutes and then whitman middle school as well. glasgow middle school citing a minor delay there. but out of 8700 bus routes in th routes being affected. that's compared to 200 routes yesterday so the good news is, this is much better situation than yesterday. but we have seen this list growing by the minute, and with the frigid temperatures not going away any time soon, there's also talk of snow tomorrow. schools officials say they're trying to do everything they can to make sure students aren't left in the cold any longer than they have. this is video that we shot earlier this morning bus drivers got out here around 5:00 o'clock to do maintenance checks and also there was a inmates fence crew out here foxing problems as they arrived. we saw mechanic switch out batteries on couple of buses they were checking tires and engines and things like that. so this type of thing will continue into tomorrow morning as well, and we'll continue to monitor the situation out here, but, again, students having to stand outside in the bus stop in these frigid teen temps certainly not a good thing if they're standing out here longer than they have. so we'll continue to monitor what's going on but for now we the studio. >> annie, thank you very much. 8:04. developing overnight in prince george's county fire crews put put
