Everyone, im brian bolter. And im shawn yancy. Sioux and gary all over the frigid forcast tonight. Sue, what is the latest . Reporter the latest is that cold air hasnt moved out. Its already into the 20s, it is not very windy, we are not dealing with much of a windchill. Thats one very, very good thing. But we do have that fast moving winter storm coming in our direction. It is an alberta clipper. They are quick, they dont have a lot of moisture. We have a Winter Weather advisory because of that feature heading into this cold air. I want you to see that advisory. Its going to go from midnight until 9 00 in the morning. It will feature a lot of areas getting a very powdery snow, not a lot of snow, but enough we are concerned that there could be some slippery spots in the morning. Here are the main highlights with this snow. Its not going to be enough that youll have to worry too much about shoveling. Its going to develop overnight and it will really stick very quickly. That is because the air is so dry and it is obviously very cold. We are concerned that it will be slick on untreated surfaces in the morning. There could be delays around. Especially to our south where there might be a little heavier snow and gees what . Theres another chance of snow coming in our direction on friday. I want to show you something. I brought out our thermometer. You have seen us use this when it is brutally hot. The sidewalk here is only reading 5 degrees. And we tested this out on the asphalt. It was reading 11 to 13 degrees. A lot of times salt does not work at that temperature. Its a special heads up that you may be having a couple spots in the morning that are going to cause problems that are bigger than the amount of snow that were going to be getting. We are starting to see this on radar. Its a skinny stripe of snow, isnt it . I think what well see here is this snow area has started expanding. Things have been getting, its very dry out there. Its cold and dry. What we are seeing right now is we look at the satellite and radar with this snow. Most of this is still aloft. Its going to find that dry air to get on down to the ground. Were going to have to wait for it to get heavier. One thing we do know. The heaviest of this snow is going to be the south of us and the clouds in place right now are actually keeping the temperatures a little bit warmer than we have been the last couple of nights. Dont worry, its going to be plenty cold for the snow here. We see this area expanding now. Our thought is, that this area of low pressure continues to get closer to us, it is going to enhance the snowfall. Were not talking about a lot of snow. This is a weak area of low pressure. It is moving along quite quickly. So we are only expecting light snow for this. I really think its probably gets going, 2 00, 3 00 in the morning. Then its probably out of here as early as 8 00 or 9 00. That means there could be a few problems for the morning commute. Right now, getting ready for the Winter Weather. Making sure the roads are safe for you. Maryland crews will hit the road in an hour to start laying down salt and grime. Crews pretreating major streets, bridges, and other elevated roads.

Man working on a cell phone tower in gaithersburg, maryland, had to be rescued today because of the extreme cold. He had been on the tower for a couple hours when he experienced hyperthermic conditions and he called 911. You are stuck on a tower . Yeah, my hands are frozen and i cant get down.

Investigators are trying to figure out what caused a deadly house fire. Two people died and tonight, were learning more about those victims. Will. Brian, a lot of Unanswered Questions about this one. We dont know how the fire started, but Washington Gas workers were at the scene for most of the day looking for answers. Next door neighbor you are about to hear from described a noise he heard right before he looked out the window and he says it was incredible how intense it was. Home video shows the overnight fire, as it destroyed a Falls Church Home and took the lives of two women inside. The victims according to neighbors, a mother and daughter and both deaths. Neath matthews is a family friend. The american family. Heres a look at whats left of the house. A shell. Fairfax county firefighters arrived just before 3 30 in the morning. Neighbors, like steven class, heard something loud. There was some kind of boom that actually sounded as if someing very heavy had fallen, it happened so fast. There was no chance for anyone to do anything. The mother had connections to the university and word spread quickly of the two deaths. A steady stream of people showed up to the scene to pay their respects. Some brought flowers and a few friends who couldnt talk used an ipad to write a message about the victims. They were our family. They will always be our angels no matter where they are. We love them. Its hard to believe they are gone. Its hard. We were close with them. So far tonight, authorities havent confirmed the identities of those victims because they are trying to notify their family first. We have also learned tonight, two dogs and eight cats also died in that fire this morning. Shawn. Thomas, thank you. Another big story were following tonight. Secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, is testifying about the deadly attack on the u. S. Consulate in benghazi. Under tough questioning, secretary clinton took responsibility for the failures that led to those deaths. Tom fitzgerald reports. Good morning. Secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, arriving on capitol hill facing dual hearings in both the senate and republican controlled house. This hearing of the committee on Foreign Affairs will come to order. Clinton appeared to compose herself while recalling the scene after the u. S. Consulate attack which killed Chris Stevens and three americans. I stood next to president obama as the marines carried those flag draped caskets off the plane at andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers. But later when pressed by republicans on u. N. Ambassador, susan rices discredited statements that the attacks werent terrorism, but a surprise protest, clinton grew angry. We had four dead americans because of a protest or because of guys out for a walk one night and decide to kill some americans . What difference, at this point, does it make . What republicans ask why multiple security requests from libya went unheated, either way, the point is the security requests were denied. Clinton testified she had never seen the requests and was well on her way to implementing the 29 recommendations made by independent board. 19 or 17 had been done. I will say none of them have been fully implemented. Senator, thats not accurate. Senator john mccain was more direct in his criticism. American people deserve to know answers and they certainly dont deserve false answers. In what may be her final appearance as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton said the license from benghazi will be learned by the department of state. Well elevate the discussion and Decision Making so theres not a doubt that everybody is on the same page. This is likely to be the final time we will see Hillary Clinton testify before congress as the secretary of state. On thursday, the Senate ForeignRelations Committee will take up president obamas nomination of john kerry after replacements in the second obama administration. Tom fitzgerald, fox 5 news.

The worst than average flu season continues with more than half the country reporting high levels of flu activity. 29 children, including a little girl in baltimore, have died so far. Tonight, in our area, a happy homecoming for a germantown boy who spent two weeks in icu battling the flu. Fox 5s Audrey Barnes has this story tonight. Audrey. Andrew tucker is one of those children you will never forget. The first time i met him, he was finishing off a popcicle. After a relapse and 11 days in intensive care, andrew is finally back at home with his family. Yeah. Game night at the tucker house has special meaning now that all five members of the family are there. Sixyearold andrew has just gotten out of Georgetown University hospital where he spent eleven days in intensive care fighting the flu. Basically, the flu took him into respiratory failure. He also got pneumonia. Just seeing him from head to toe with wires sticking out of him. Him being sedated and not speaking with us, just horrible. Even worse than seeing andrew on a ventilator was his slow recovery when they removed it four days later. He was not making eye contact, not verbal, just super sad and for andrew to be sad is not like him at all. He has a great smile. That was hard for us. Slowly over the next five or six days, the old andrew started to reemerge. There was a moment at shady grove where i was saying to myself, of course im trying to be strong. Im saying, i cant bury a kid. It was that serious. And it was total terror and to see him now, theres a miracle. For now, theres no wrestling or rough housing with his brothers, aaron and noah. And today andrew went back to school for the first time in nearly two weeks. His friends gave him quite a welcome back. The Tucker Family is so thankful for all the prayers and support they received while they nursed their son back to health. Thank you. The best feeling ever. You walk into your house and you are so happy to have all five ofous together. Theres no greater feeling than that.

Doctors at both hospitals and his pediatrician will monitor him closely in the coming weeks. Hell have allergy tests. They want to find out how his case of the flu got so bad. The good news is, andrew is once again a healthy and very adorable sixyearold. Shawn, back to you. Yes, indeed he is adorable. Audrey, thank you. Now to a news alert out of the pentagon. Female troops could be heading to the front lines of war, according to senior officials, leon will announce tomorrow he is lifting the military ban on women serving in combat. Retired army manager joins us now. Major general, thanks for being here. Nice to be here. What impact will this impact have on the u. S. Military . Immediately, not much at all. The announcement of the policy change is really just an acknowledgment of the reality in the last ten or twelve years. Women have been in combat for 10 or 12 years. The military went through another major change with the repeal of dont ask, dont tell. How do you think the men and the women, the ones that will join them, will react to this news . I think that some will be negative about it, but when people think about it, theyll realize the military has been integrating men and women for over 35 years, since we went to a volunteer army. And i think quite frankly, the hard work has been done already and we may find that women going into some of the combat units may be easier to do than the hard work that has been going on for 35 years. I have a couple reasons for saying that. One would be those units rely even more than the normal unit. The noncombat unit, the rear units on teamwork. And they tend to take people in and they are not up to standard and they make sure they do meet the standard and thats really the key to this whole issue as we move forward, is setting standards and i think the military has been looking carefully the last couple years to downsize. Well have to have some people leave and we have to make sure we keep high standards. If they set the standards right, men and women should be in those units. Men and women should be in those jobs. As i understand, the military will have until january of 2016 to seek special exceptions. If it believes there are positions that women should not be in. Are there any positions, what positions do you think shown reserved for male troops . Im not sure that there are any. Some may be more expensive to allow women in. I met women that can do anything men can do, so its a question of whether how many women are going to want to do that. Because it is very demanding, some of the physical aspects of those jobs. But there may be some that theyll want to protect, but i think well find them opening up. Do you think that the big picture here is that we are seeing a lot of people retiring or not signing up, so this is a way to bolster the troops on the front line . Im not sure what the reasons are for it, quite frankly. I think some of it is sociology and paying attention to some of those aspects. I think there are some people that are pretty conservative that think this is the wrong thing to do, what is this going to improve . I think theres an argument that might improve in the military. The key is standard. If a woman can meet all those standards, to be in an infantry unit and that includes a certain pt score and a certain amount of weight and a 12mile road march with 60 or 70pounds on her back, then thats the standard, it has nothing to do with gender. Thank you so much retired army general. Thank you so much for coming in tonight. Well have much more on this landmark decision on the news edge at 11 00.

He was tricked into believing his online girlfriend died of cancer. He discovered it was a hoax in early december and continued to talk about her in interviews. In a taped interview with katie couric, he didnt know what else to do. My hope, she died on september 12. Everybody knew that. This girl who i committed myself to, died on september 12. Now i get a phone call on december 6 saying its a lie and i am going to be put on National Television and ask me the same questions, what would you do . The woman whose photo was used on the fake twitter account says the man believed to be behind the hoax has confessed and apologized to her. The woman went to school with the two and says the picture was taken from her facebook page. Teo was not the only target. Warned its players following a similar stunt last month. Scott smith is here with the details. Its clear the world of social media made athletes accessible, the same is not said for the person on the other end. Redskins director, phillip daniels, was made aware of an imposter striking up conversations with at least four redskins players. Daniels posted a memo in the locker room warning the players to stay clear. According to a recent article, her name was sidney akerman. However, she was using pictures of an adult entertainer. The players would engage in conversations, mostly through direct messaging and face to face meetings were arranged, but never happened. The fake twitter and Facebook Accounts have been removed. According to that article, the person was in fact a woman, a die hard redskins fan. She never asked for money or attempted to exploit the players. Unlike teo, daniels said he believes it was all about receiving attention from the players. Its a problem that is likely more common than you think. The one players will have to adjust to in terms of how to respond through twitter and facebook. Scott, thank you.
