is here. it's difficult to see the nation's capital behind me. you can see that the snow started to accumulate not only on the grassy areas but a hefty amount of snow on sidewalks starting to accumulate on the roads. they were treated with a briony mix that kept the freezing point lower. it is getting cold enough to see accumulations. the evening commute will be treacherous. it's getting slick out there. low visibility. it's a dangerous situation. it is recommended you do not leave the house. it is best to stay at home, nice and warm with the slippers on and some coffee today. >> thank you, kait. we couldn't stay home with the coffee and neither could ron mott where estimates of a foot of snow could have fallen.
