Winters latest push is bringing snow to much of the region. Right now roads are acherous in places. Live from Frederick County maryland good morning. Youve seen one accident this morning. How are the roads where you are . Reporter once severe accident eun, several others look behind me pap state road. Route 85. The pike in southern Frederick County state Highway Administration crews just came through. So the roads are passable. 340e6789 of the traffic youll see here though staying under 20 miles per hour. On i270, at about 30 miles per hour. Thats where we saw trouble late this morning especially near the interchange with route 80. Several cars spun out. One of which was a, driven by a driver headed from rockville to frederick. He said he was going 30 miles an hour and lost control of his rear wheel tires. I just slid out of control. Coming down the highway. Reporter and appropriate medics broke open his windows, helped him escape the car. Appears uninjured. Maryland state Police Responded and kept traffic way from him before they could get him safely away from the car. The car itself will take a while to remv from i270 northbound. We mentioned one of several spinouts several accidents we saw on that highway. Maryland state police no surprise report a higher than usual number of single vehicle accidents in and around the Frederick County area. So many of those cars they say deliberately passing snow plows and salt trucks and that causes trouble. Here in Frederick County the whole county is basically closed. Not just the schools but county courts county government so many merchants and even coffee shops some are closed expecting a higher level of snow in frederic county than in northern or southern Montgomery County. As we close, some roads impassable without fourwheel drive. Live in frederick, Scott Mcfarland news 4. Scott, thank you. Very dangerous. Do not try to follow those snow plows, and give the crews plenty of space and dont pass them especially. Snow is ramping up across our area. Chuck symbol in the storm team 4x4 in Loudoun County. Any improvements out there . What are you seeing . Reporter no improvements at all, eun.

Its 25 degrees with still moderate snow out here in the northern parts of Loudoun County. And the Road Conditions remain very very slippery indeed as weve been saying all morning. We say it every time if you dont have to be on the roads dont get out on the roads and you want to win your snow stick, put some sort of your Favorite Team gear on it. I repeat double credit for boomer sooner gear on your snowman. Eun . Okay. Im going to have to say, double credit for the terps i have to challenge cluck on that. Send your pics. Next stop Fairfax County the snow started at daybreak and conditions are getting worse. Many are sitting at home dreading the moment you need to get off the couch and start shushaling. Start now. Were back with a look how soon youll be able to do that. Your time is 11 40. Im aylett green at live desk with breaking news out of new york where a plane has skidded off a runway there.

The plane was an md80 that went off the runway about 11 10 this morning. Right now the Fire Department out of new york saying no injuries at this time. Well stay on top of this developing story. Back to you. Thanks molette. Plows are out in Northern Virginia right now. Working to clear away the snow in this ongoing winter storm. Some of you are, too, even as the inches keep building. News 4 derrick ward picks up live Team Coverage from Fairfax County. Live in veeienna. Snow is really coming down where you are . Reporter indeed it is. The city doing a great job making streets passable but they are up against it. Route 123 and center road down here, and weve seen plows come through here about, id say three or four times within the past hour or so. And thats keeping these streets passable. Weve got video from the scene earlier today when the snow first started to fall. They first put the plow blades down id say about 10 00. A couple hours into the snowfall but need at least an inch or so before the blades become effective. Before that theyre putting down sand and abrasives to make sure you had traction on that upgrade up there on the other side of the street, and coming down into the intersection. We havent seen anyone sliding out or any mishaps. Thats not to say that it isnt dicey driving out here and these are conditions you shouldnt tackle unless you absolutely have to. Live in vienna derrick ward news 4. It is snowing out there. Thanks, derrick. If you plan to send the day inside the comfort of your home snow shoveling laws may mean you need to head out sooner than you think. Our consumer reporter is here with a breakdown of law ace cross the region. Because it keeps snowing, you probably want to get out early to not clean up a bunch later on. The kids are home. Everybody pitch in and do a little something. Technically, time on your side. If you wait for tomorrow to come you know its going to freeze. Going to be that much harder to get it out of there. Break this down for you. The rules jurisdiction by jurisdiction. If you live in Loudoun County the rule you much clear sidewalks within six hours after the snow stops falling. Since the snow isnt expected to end until later this evening, then youve got until about noon tomorrow to clear those sidewalks. D. C. Arlington, Montgomery County all have 24 hours. So youll have to clear your sidewalks by tomorrow evening. And Prince Georges County 48 hours to clear your sidewalk. How about fairfax . Prince william counties no law requiring you to shovel your sidewalks, but, of course its still highly encouraged. The last thing want to do is make something difficult for snob get around. You know. You dont want an accident to happen. Of course so if you can get out there, do a little at a time a little bit, a little bit association that tomorrow you dont have as tricky of a time trying to get all of that frozen ice out of your way in the morning. A lot of people complained they cant find salts. Theres just no salt out there to be had. We actually reported that a couple days ago. We had a few people tweet tom in the morning saying i cant find icemelt. Easiest way. Thankfully great reason to have fireplaces going. Take the ashes from the fireplace, and use that for traction. You can use kitty litter. Use sand as well. Its not as harsh on your plants and on the concrete on your sidewalk. Its not going to damage your property. That will at least give you traction. Good ideas. Thanks. Thank you. We are back with the latest on the roads from Melissa Mollet and the districts plan to clear the roads. Reporter and moderate snow continues to fall outside the studios in northwest washington. So much snow that the pat collins snow stick is measuring an additional half of an inch of snow in 30 minutes. So what does that mean for Road Conditions tomorrow .

By tomorrow evening it should be just fine. Heads up. Nome talknot only talking about snow tomorrow morning recordcold temperatures in spots. Vwi and dulles likely het record low temperatures tomorrow morning. The suburbs in the single digits. So be prepared for that.
