Area roadways are slick in spots. However, the back edge of the snow is now moving through Northern Virginia and parts of Maryland. The snow should end from west to east over the next few hours. Use caution on the roads as black ice may have formed due to melting/refreezing of moisture.

The radar is beginning to really blossom around the area. A large portion of the area is reporting either light flurries or very light snow at this time. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 7:00pm tonight. Due to cold conditions, slick spots will be possible on roadways during the afternoon and evening rush. 

Additionally, several area school systems are closing early. However, Montgomery Co Schools are closing according to REGULAR schedules.
