19 in manassas. 18 in gaithersburg and 22 downtown. Those are real temperatures. Thats not windchill. Those are real temperatures. Teens tonight. If you are headed out, in dress appropriately for the teens. Good news is, the winds wont pickup until tomorrow. We will come back and talk about, reports of how much snow is falling in parts of the metro area and talk about a big pattern change next week. Use the words almost gone, top, well hold you to that as we send it to erica who is live in gaithersburg. How is it looking out there, erica . We do have a very thin coating of snow basically throughout the area and in gaithersburg. I see about an inch here on the ground. And you can see that the sidewalk is completely covered and the main road behind me is route 355. That is just wet because the plows have been out and they have been putting down the salt. However, as rush hour winds down and the traffic starts to slow down, i think we will see some refreezing because right now, it is the tires and all the activity on the road that is keeping the temperatures above freezing on the roadway itself. On side streets, you can see the difference. There is a light coating of slush here on our side street, which is westland drive and like i said before, we are here in gaithersburg. The snow started early in the afternoon and has continued. It was steady earlier. It tapered off a little bit. We still have a light snow shower out here right now. But i also see the moon up in the sky. So i know that clearing is starting to move in. Also, i wanted to mention that we spoke with our traffic reporter. No major accidents out there right now. But of course, this snow is slowing down the friday evening commute. I hope you pack your patience if you have to head out on the road tonight. If you take it slow, you should be just fine, especially on the major roadways. For now we are live in gaithersburg, wusa9. Back to you. Thank you, erica.

In a capital that once celebrated, politics have once again turned haball. They couldnt win it fair and square, so theyll try to win it this way. Interesting, youre making news. Ive heard that. A republican state senator from red and rural southwest, virginia, has introduced a bill that would scuttle the system that handed the commonwealths 13 electoral votes to president obama. It would portion by congressional district. That would have given mitt romney nine votes and president obama just four. All those across virginia that actually came out and supported mitt romney felt they deserved that. This law, romney would have won virginia. Even though he lost it by 150,000 votes. Folks, this is the pack of pure bread republicans in the Virginia State senate. The vote plan and a vote to retool Senate Districts while a democrat was away at the mlk president ial inauguration have once again made the virginia gop for tv comics. In the words of dr. King, i have been to the mountain top and while i was there, they heavily redistricted the promise land. Now, looks unlikely that the electoral plan will pass. Two state senators oppose it and in a senate that is split 20 to 20, thats enough to scuttle it. If i lose, ill come back and try again.
