Reporter well, jim, ive been using this laser gun to measure the temperature all day throughout the it is 15. 4 degrees, and that does not account for the wind chill factor. What we have found is that people are using different strategies to cope with the cold. At the pentagon row outdoor skating rink there was only one skater on the ice. The temperature gun says its just about 21 degrees. Its a thing with the wind feels a lot colder than that. Reporter yet you took today to skate and you skate how often . This is my first time.

Thanks, chris. During the break we invite you to download the nbc washington app. Turn on weather alerts to get updates on this wintry mix. And we are expecting for them to move in on us. Metro is significantly slashing rail hours in order to do more track work on the aging system. Metros board unanimously voted for the changes today. Theyre set to begin next june and will last for two years. Here they are. Metros going to close at 11 30 monday through thursday and at 1 00 on fridays and saturdays. On sundays the system wont open until 8 00 a. M. And will close at 11 00 p. M. Transportation reporter adam tuss has been tracking the developments on this all day. Live at judiciary square. Adam, really tough decision for metros board and for the members of the district, right . Reporter 100 . You look at all of those hours that you just explained. You think about d. C bars and its restaurants and the latenight service that its going to lose. Remember, for the longest time metro rail stayed open until 3 00 a. M. On friday and saturday nights. Now youre talking about moving that back to 1 00 a. M. Theres been a real distaste for that type of cut back in the district. Officially district leaders had to concede and make a concession and say, okay, we will go ahead with this plan. When you boil it down, the metro general manager, the person that this board picks to make these type of tough decisions was telling them, look, we need two years of this scaled back plan on hours. That way we can get the system to where it needs to be. We want to do things like safe track. Well see how it plays out. This is not a pill that anybody wants to swallow. Indeed. Adam, there was some other big news from metro today. Some people got fired after the investigation of that East Falls Church derailment, six metro track inspectors were fired. Six more could be fired in the coming days. Were talking about 28 people in metros track inspection department. Thats nearly half of their track inspectors that are going to be facing some type of discipline because if you remember that East Falls Church derailment last summer, this happened at a crossover point by the East Falls Church station. What they were saying is these track inspectors were going in there and falsifying reports of the conditions of those tracks. Metro conducted their own investigation and found that that, in fact, was the case. They are taking disciplinary action against half of their track inspection department. That is simply unheard of and anything ive heard of since theyve been covering metro. More action can be coming. Truly a monumental day. More action and even the possibility of criminal charges, right . Reporter absolutely. So metros own Police Department investigated these people and theyre not going to bring any charges, but the investigation isnt done. Its being agency and if they find something thats truly raises to that level, absolutely there could be criminal charges. Not a good day for the transit agency, especially when you think about riders who are on that train and their safety that was put at risk simply because someone falsified reports and did not do their job. That is, frankly, irreprehensible. Thank you. Coming up, facebook taking action to stop the spread of fake news on social media. While more than 2600 Police Officers now have body cameras in the district. Coming up, well you have probably already noticed were in weather alert mode around here.

The wind starting to calm a little bit. Thats going to be a little bit better. Overnight tonight and into the day tomorrow. Still very cold. Nothing on radar for the next 24 hours.

If youre hearing about snow, this is not a snow event for us at all. Look at the snow. Maybe hagerstown. Its really into the Early Morning hours. Here we are at 6 00 a. M. Around frederick, over towards baltimore, maybe into Montgomery County as far south as d. C. Northern virginia, Southern Maryland i dont think you get this at all before it moves down and becomes rain as temperatures begin to rise. Now the temperatures will rise fairly fast.

What you need to see where you live and if youre 32 above or below. Tomorrow evening below 32. Mainly dry. Anything that moves in saturday at 5 00 a.

Anything falling from the sky at that point for the most part just going to be rain. Then we continue to warm. Were talking about highs on sunday, doug, in the low 60s. What a change.
