all the snow showers across ohio, pennsylvania, west virginia. some of the action going to sneak east of the mountains. a little of it may make it, majority, talking 95, 98% of it in the high country. and that's where winter weather advisories are posted. 16 in culpeper, 22 in the sheen and dough a valley. down south, not much different. east continue, 23. annapolis, 24. officially 24. wind chill of 13, thanks to west, northwest winds at 13. and dewpoint only 8. it will be really dry. if you don't have a humidifier in the house, you know what's going on. 9 below in minneapolis. this is the core of next batch of arctic air. kansas city, 7, memphis, 23, and snowing in places like memphis, and not quite jackson, but mississippi seeing some snow, and snow making it pretty far south. huntsville, birmingham, even atlanta could see flurries before the day is out. for us, big storm is spinning across eastern canada. brings little pieces of energy back behind it. you see a reflex of that with a trough coming across new york, pennsylvania, back through the

questions raised by chief justice roberts last term in west virginia. the chief justice listed 40 questions that he said were unresolved by the court's ruling including how much money is too much, how do we determine what is disproportionate, what if the case involved a social or ideological issue rather than a financial one, must a judge recuse himself if he got a disproportionate support from pro-life or pro-choice groups. i do have to note that these are the kind of questions that legislative bodies usually resolve. in those states that have dealt with this issue is the state bench and bar that have been charged with establishing recusal rules. so far i have to say with very little success. so is there any way to do this short of getting rid of parts and elections of judges altogether? barring that was the supreme court's decision in the case from west virginia just a shot in the dark soon to be eclipsed and forgotten under the rubric of citizens united? and by the way, with the supreme court's decision last week unleashing unlimited special-interest

again, that is well out to the west, western maryland and west virginia. ut for us, nothing like that. we could see a couple of snow showers work their way into here during the course of the day but they would be intermittent snow flurries for today. lots of clouds around. i think more clouds in the latter part of the day and the early part. still windy at times. winds gusting up to 30 miles per hour. high only about 32 degrees. your five-day forecast, now, again, still below normal temperatures with a gradual warm-up for thursday near 40 degrees but then thursday night into friday, we have indications that there will be a coastal storm forming. we believe most of that energy will stay to our uth but we have to watch it during the course of the week. right now, i would put the chance of snow thursday into friday at 50%. that is a look at what is happening with the weather. now, let's get an update on traffic from julie wright. welcome back, julie and happy new year. >> thank you. i thought about you when i was at home. >> did you? >> i went out and caught

it is snowing in parts of west virginia now. a few flurries off to our west. might ha a passing flurry around the metro areaator on today. otherwise, partly sunny with a blustery northwest wind. highs briefly touching the low 30s. then, quickly, right back down below freezing after sunset. and by 9:00, in the mid-20s. then just near 20 by dawn tomorrow. should be partly cloudy through the evening tomorrow. and a blustery wind as well on tuesday, gusting to around 25 miles an hour. so with highs reaching the mid-30s. on thursday, around 20 degrees, the winds still blustery. highs mid-30s. increasing clouds on thursday. late thursday night into friday, maybe a little light snow and blustery and cold for next weekend again, maybe not above freezing saturday and sunday. we'll see you tomorrow morning, eun and joe. >> thanks very much, tom. see you then. >> thank you, tom. >>> you won't find the finish to a college basketball game much more exciting than this one. the florida gators beat the north carolina state on this miraculous shot inovertime. unbelievable. flo

of the shenandoah valley along the virginia/west virginia border. wind chills could drop to 5 below zero. radar shows light snow across the state of pennsylvania. low-to-moderate from new york to portions of new england, part of a very powerful storm system into the gulf of maine headed up to the canadian maritime. the deep area of low pressure moves away and high pressure comes in from the west. the wind will finally begin to ease up so wind chills now in the teens to single digits. tomorrow we'll have wind chills in the upper teens to low and mid 20s. not as bad tomorrow as that billing storm system pulse away. as it does. the moisture will spin westward around the storm and may generate snow flurries and in the west virginia mountains during the day tomorrow, no more than one or two passing snow flakes here in the washington area but the cold weather will stick around pretty much for the next five to seven days so be ready for that. for the rest of your evening plans, generally clear skies for now but windy and cold and evening temperatures low t

so if we look at a state like west virginia where we're very concerned about speed and broadband deployment, high-speed internet the connection cans, it affects the entire economy of the state when there's no high-speed connections in most of the town, for example, in west virginia in term thes of economic development. so just as companies in the past would have looked at, you know, what are the roads through this town, now the road is the internet as well as, you know, the road the truck arrives on. >> host: and why is the cwa endorsing or, you know, supporting high-speed? >> guest: well, again, the biggest group of our members do work on the network itself. and, you know, so, number one, it's their jobs. so we're looking at an economy now with, you know, a minimum of 10% official unemployment and when you look at underemployment, it's 20. so the job creation for people who work on the network, number one. number two, the job creation, the spin-offs of, you know, catching up in terms of the world economy and the economic development that goes along with it. to the extent we're worried, whi

i live in west virginia. poured west virginians. if you want to be fair, this is not a fair system. now, to do this, we would need to talk about what a feasible alternative, what a real market-based insurance would look like. do you want me to talk about that? >> yes, please. >> we have to compare because it's not fair to just look at one system. just look at say it has a problem without looking at another. so by real market health insurance, i don't mean to the united states. i mean a system where not the government is in control and not the injured cubbies are in control, but you're in control, the consumer. health savings account. you have an account, taxi. you can use it to spin for predictable routine expenses. we limit insurance to catastrophes which is really what insurance should be like. think about car insurance that doesn't pay for your tuneups? doesn't pay for oil and lube's quest you know the answer to that that evidence, it would be cast optically, pardon the pun, catastrophically expensive. if we have a system like this, everybody can be in control of their own health

now, i think west virginia is tinkering with that, and that's probably a good step. in arizona's case initially we had quite a few lawyers on the commission. today we have very few lawyers on it. we've gone to a predominantly citizens commission, but the nonlawyer members are very well qualified, and they can express themselves well, and it works okay. but at least we can say to the public, this is not dominated by lawyers. the other thing that's happened is that arizona has opened all of their meetings of those advisory commissions to the public. and they ask when there's a vacancy in a judicial office for people who are interested in being considered to file an application and include their resumÉ. all of those are open to the public. and if you have all the data open and the meetings open to the public and a predominance of lay people on the commission, there's not a lot for the public to complain about in that system. and, indeed, it has produced some excellent judges. so i think there's no reason to think that states around the nation that still elect their jud
