Take a look at doppler 9000. This is all on the back side of that monster storm thats pushing on through the new england area. As these snow showers push from north to south, theyre actually pushing off to the east as the morning unfolds. So this is just a morning event with the snow showers. Weve seen some of the heavier bands right along 66 just south of leesburg. This will push off by the east. By 9 00 we should be pretty much dry out there. Lots of clouds, a couple of flurries and some of those moderately heavy snowfalls continuing but by lunch time, well see peeks of sunshine out there. Temperatures stay into the mid 30s but with temperatures below freezing for the morning hours, anything that falls is pretty much sticking on any of those grassy surfaces, especially. Lets go over to trenice with traffic. Sunshine is right up my alley. We could use that to help with some of the snow were still seeing on the roads. If youre just leaving the house or waking up thinking of getting into the express lanes on 95, i would think twice if your travels take you through newington. Stop and go as the accident scene is using the two right lanes. Looks like the thru lanes will be a much better option. Express lanes jammed up toward newington. This is the accident scene. Going to be stop and go. That importance has been there for quite some time this morning. Lets take a look at our maryland cameras. Looking better on 270. Still decent delays out of frederick. Here at shady grove road, all lanes are open toward the beltway. Mike, annual dray that . Thanks, trenice. All morning weve been on the scene of a water main break in hyattsville which turned into a sinkhole. That sinkhole swallowed a mid size car. Theres another danger possibly going on too. Nikki burdine is live. Have they shot off the water yet . Reporter no, the water is still running. If you can take a look, you can see the water is still flowing quite a bit. You can see the car is barely peeking out. Theres another car just on the edge there that is about to go into the water as well. That home right there, thats where a family lives and they tell me that they saw water coming into their car early this morning into their home early this morning. So they got out of their house. They grabbed their family, a mother, a father and three children and they went to get in their car. Its that car thats under water right now. Apparently a anybody tells me that that family started to feel their car sink down. So they got out. Thankfully they got out just in time because we know what happened to that car. It sunk into the water. Everybody is final. Nobody is hurt is fine. Nobody is hurt. I was just talking to another person who lives here. She lives in the basement of that home where the car is. Theyre having to evacuate. Theyre worried about the safety of their home. Of course theres water in there but theyre also worried about what could happen here. So everyone is just standing outside. Im told they will be having to evacuate soon. Its not clear if it will be all of these homes or just the basement of this one home. But you can see that car still very much under water. Water is still running. Wssc has been here all morning trying to get it turned off but they are unsuccessful. The other car right next to it obviously in danger. We cant tell how big this hole is but its obviously pretty large if its going to wallow a swallow a car like that we cant tell what kind of car it is. Thats how far down it s. Stay away from edmonson road off kenilworth avenue. Thats where the situation is happening. That is where a car was swallowed by a sinkhole. Im told it was caused by a water main break. Back to you in the studio. And its still flowing. Nikki, we see all the firefighters. Is wssc on the scene there trying to look for where the water main break is . Reporter they were here a few minutes ago at one end and moved. I think theyre now at another end. Theyve been walking through here. I dont know where they are right now but they are trying to find the water main break. Their priority right now is trying to get the water shut off which theyre having a hard time doing. There is somebody carrying a little person on their back trying to get away from the water going into some of these houses. Well continue to follow this. Thank you, nikki. If you live northwest of the district youll also face a number of the slippery Road Conditions and roads compacted with a little bit of snow. Thats right. Nick giovanni is live along route 118 in germantown with a look at things there. The roads are pretty good, right, nick . Reporter mike, they are. They pretty much remained that way all morning long. The flurries have subsided. For now looks like 5 inches is about as deep as the snow is going to get around this area in germantown. That said, all of Montgomery CountyPublic Schools ever closed for the day are closed for the day. This is a snow day. We learned that by checking our mobile app, certainly something we encourage you to do throughout the day for instant updates. Its a good tool to have on a day like n. As far as instant updates on the roadways, traffic is flowing smoothly here along germantown road. For now, back to you. Thank you, nick. In some parts of Northern Virginia, drivers will face a rougher commute than that. Delia goncalves is live on route 7 in steriling with a look at the roads there. Delia, we saw a covered car. You were helping out the motorist there. Whats it like now . Reporter weve listen here for about an hour and a half, maybe two hours now. It feels colder now. So there could be a potential of refreezing. Were not certain but it definitely feels colder. Theres a chill in the air. We have seen plow trucks come through because this side straight, bartholomew view drive. Plows have gone through and some traffic you can see, some bits of pavement there. But still lots of snow and underneath that snow we have layers of ice. So these side streets, any surfaces that are untreated, quite slick this morning. We actually had to brace yourselves as we were Walking Around and preparing for this live shot because of the slick conditions. The snow is falling. So obviously some very changing conditions as youre stepping out of the house this morning. I talked to the owner of the gas station that we are located at, talked to him some time ago. He told me he actually spun out when he was heading here. Lets hear what he had to say. Its frozen underneath. I took a slide coming around the corner off of cascades parkway. As long as you go the appropriate speed, youll be fine. Reporter so thats his advice, appropriate speed. You can see, take a look at this mound of snow here. Obviously a telltale sign that plows have come through but certainly you do have to take it slow on these side streets, even though route 7, take a look there, traffic flowing smoothly. Everything looks good on the main roads. The sides streets you do have to be worried about this morning. Back to you in the studio. All right, delia. Live in sterling this morning. Thanks, delia.
