  Speaker 2: Washefout Toby and Chilly in the Morning on ninety seven
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: point one wash FM over there is Kat Harris playing
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: the part at Chili Omar today. Look, everybody's talking about
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: the weather, and when we need to know what's really
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: going on, we turned to seven News DC's First Alert
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Weather Center and meteorologist Eileen Whalin.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Eileen, inquiring minds want to know what is really going
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: to happen.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We're going to get snow, it is going to be
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: bitterly cold, and we also have the threat for ice.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So first of all, let's just get ready for the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: frigid weather tonight, guys, Cold weather alert start at eight o'clock.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: We're going to have windchills sub zero by tomorrow morning.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: You ready for that, Toby, No, Then we've got clouds
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that dick in. We've got snow starting after about eight
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: pm tomorrow, But I think the heaviest snow comes overnight Saturday,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: after midnight and through about ten am Sunday morning. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: when you wake up Sunday morning, we're going to have
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: several inches of snow. The big question is when does
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that sleep and freezing rain start mixing in right now,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'd plan for eight inches to a foot of snow,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: maybe even a quarter of an inch of ice on top.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm most concerned about, because we could be
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: dealing with power outages and then we've got you know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: temperatures in the twenties heading into next week. So if
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: people lose power and then you know they don't have
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: heat and electric, that's not a good thing. So we
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: don't want to scary, but we just make sure everybody's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: prepared for a winter weather event that's on the way.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And if you can just stay home and enjoy it,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you know, cozy up with the fire and the fireplace,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that's a good bet to me.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: And I think that personally, being prepared and staying snuggled
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: and hunkered down at home is the way to go.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I could not agree more. Yeah, we want everybody to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: be safe. Let the cruise go out do their thing.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Shout out to all of them, because you know they're
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: going to be working in some pretty hard, rough conditions
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: with it just being so cold and everything is just
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: going to be frozen. It's going to be almost like
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a tundra.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: So watch some football from the frozen tundra of the DMV.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: We all want to know what this means for school
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you kids will not be at school on Monday,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: maybe Tuesday. I mean I would plan to have the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: kids home for several days next week just because of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the lingering. Since it's going to be so cold, we're
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: still going to be dealing with a lot of that ice,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: which then makes it sometimes even harder to clean up.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So I do think that this could go on for
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: several days next week, so parents plan ahead when storing
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: got all the crafts and all the puzzles and.
• 2:25
