00:00Well, our coverage this morning continues right now with storm chaser Aaron J. Jack.

00:03He joins us live from Washington, D.C. with an update, and Aaron, you were talking about

00:07how roads last night were a mess for a while, but things have improved dramatically once

00:12that snow ended.

00:15Yes, dramatically, and you know, I would say here in the nation's capital, this is one

00:21of the best cleanups I've seen of snow, and they clean up really well here.

00:26In fact, they didn't wait for the storm to stop here in the nation's capital.

00:29They started cleaning up last night while the snow was still falling.

00:34As you mentioned, the streets were quite nasty last night.

00:37This is Constitution Avenue right here, right across the street from the White House, and

00:41as you can see, very clear, very clean here, traffic's moving really well.

00:46Last night, this was a sloppy mess.

00:47I was watching a plow come down this road and shooting a wave of snow as it was clearing

00:53it off, probably five or six feet high, so significant amount of snow fell here in the

00:57nation's capital last night, and it went until well after midnight.

01:01I went to bed at midnight.

01:03That snow was still falling.

01:04It looked like we were around five inches or so around that midnight time frame, so

01:09a significant amount of snow was falling here in the nation's capital.

01:12Right now, we've got cloudy skies, lots of cleanup going on, but also lots of people

01:18out enjoying the snow.

01:19I saw some folks cross-country skiing across the grass here by the Washington Monument.

01:25People out just walking their dogs, and it looks like probably a few people going to

01:30work, but I believe schools have been canceled here in the area, so it's a good day to get

01:34out and enjoy the snows.

01:36It looks like potentially we might get some rain a little bit later today.

01:39It might make things a little nasty in the grassy areas where the snow still exists,

01:43but here in Washington, D.C., the sidewalks, the streets are looking really good this morning.

01:48Back to you guys.

01:49Beautiful covering the trees this morning.

01:52All right, Extreme Storm Chaser Aaron Jajak, thanks for joining us here.

01:55This morning.
