![]() This is near whiteout conditions as you can see. We're close to Springfield, Virginia, Don. What's going on, Brian? Brian Todd? BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: A little bit north of Lorton right now. Lorton as a matter of fact and that's where we find CNN's Brian Todd out driving and checking out the road conditions. Again, you're looking at a live shot from Washington D.C. You can see all the way down from Atlanta, all the way up to New York City and Boston and beyond. Jennifer Gray in the National Mall, thank you very much. LEMON: Two and a half feet of snow in some places. ![]() We are going to see conditions continue to deteriorate and stay extremely awful over the next 12 to 36 hours, Don. ![]() The winds are about 10 to 15 miles per hour. 30 to 40 mile per hour sustained winds with gusts even higher right now. And so that's when we'll see a very, very high wind. We are expected to see blizzard conditions through the overnight hours into the early hours of the morning. But, it's coming down pretty heavily now. that's why people are urged to stay home. It's going to be really hard for those plows to keep up the streets here in D.C. But I tell you, Don, as the night wares on, we are going to be seeing the snowfall so hard, so fast, two to three inches per hour. We've seen quite a few plows out trying to take care of the streets staying ahead of this. so people really have no choice but to stay indoors. Of course, the metro shutting down around 11:00 p.m. with 30 vehicles and they're going to be patrolling the streets overnight. We do know that there are about 60 National Guard folks, troops that are going to come out here around 11:00 p.m. We haven't seen too many folks out and about. We do see a couple of cars out here but really all and all, people are staying home. And look behind me, you can see the blanket of snow, the first snow flake fell this afternoon around 1:00 on the dot. And even the snow that's already on the ground, the wind is causing it to blow around, so it's making visibility pretty poor here in D.C. What are you seeing? JENNIFER GRAY, METEOROLOGIST: Oh, Don, it is just continuing to get worse and worse and it's really the wind that's making it so bad because the snow is just blowing all around. Why don't we check in with Jennifer Gray who is in Washington first to see what's going on there. ![]() And also Jennifer Gray is live at the National Mall.
