here we go again after that wild drop in temperatures. now we're dealing with some very strong winds. storm 4 meteorologist veronica johnson joins us now with the latest. >> hey there, jim and pat. yeah, it's been a wild ride over the last 48 hours. that's for sure. we've seen a lot of cold, arctic air rush into the area. that cold air being really pushed into here by some very strong winds. take a look at the current wind gusts now anywhere from 22 to 31-mile-per-hour gusts being reported down at packs river. i've seen that just over the last hour, gusting up to 41 miles per hour. same thing was true for leonard town this morning. very strong winds. the winds are going to start to settle over the next couple hours. i'm still looking for a breezy night though. you can see what it's done to the temperature. 41 degrees currently but the wind chill, 32 degrees. what it actually feels like out there. so that wild ride going from 60 some yesterday to feeling like we're in the 20s today.

here's a look at some of the other wind chills throughout the area. frederick, maryland, 25 degrees that feel like factor to 32 in d.c. feels like 31 currently in culpepper, virginia. there is some snow out there. you can see it pushing through areas of pittsburgh, well off to the west. we had some morning flurries here but it wasn't enough thankfully to make roads slick anywhere throughout the area including up around i-70 or i-81. as far as the forecast for your good night period, your day planner forecast, or evening planner forecast, 7:00 p.m., 35 the temperature. 34 for 9:00. and 32 by 11:00 p.m. by that time, though, again i expect the winds to really start easing up. but as you saw there on radar, that lake effect snow machine really has kicked into high gear with a pattern change throughout the area. and that has done a lot for areas to the north that have not had very much snow at all. let me show you what's been going on in chicago, illinois. they had five inches of snowfall

yesterday and they've gotten more flurries today. here's some of the road crews out on the highways there cleaning up, cold conditions today with flurries still falling and a temperature around 20 degrees in chicago. if that wasn't enough, take a look at marquette, michigan. big snows on the highway here and some very low visibility. they've gotten around 6 inches of snow now. believe it or not they could get another 1 to 2 inches of snow this evening, extremely cold air coming off the lakes. that's the cold air across the relatively warmer lakes. meanwhile down in kansas city, missouri, not as much snow but you know what? it's been blowing around. it's been drifting, jim and pat, a lot of snow throughout the country and some very cold air. it is going to be sticking around for a while now with this pattern change that we've seen for us, guys, a cold weekend. wait until you see my seven-day forecast coming up in just a few minutes. >> all right. that wild weather. thanks, veronica. >> he is the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of an

violations. he allegedly used nearly a million dollars in donations to hide an affair and the child he fathered out of wedlock. president obama is asking congress for more power. he wants the authority to consolidate some government agencies. he says the changes will make the government leaner and more efficient. steve handelsman has the story. >> it's a mess. >> reporter: president obama said too many federal agencies overlap. 12 he said regulate food from the farm to the table. 12. ocean salmon are regular lalted by the commerce department but when they swim into fresh water it's the interior department. >> the government we have is not the government we need. >> reporter: he wants the okay to merge commerce and five related agencies into one. to unburden u.s. companies and create private sector jobs. then he'd cut more agencies, reducing the government work force through attrition.

>> let me be clear. i will only use this authority for reforms that result in more efficiency, better service, and a leaner government. >> reporter: he is sounding like the republicans trying to take his job. >> this is a way of sort of saying, listen. if romney is the nominee and he is mr. efficiency we can be efficient, too. >> reporter: for 50 years until the reagan era presidents had consolidation authority. barack obama wants it back. >> if you give presidents more power to reorganize government, you're giving presidents more power. >> reporter: and that's why today's congress seemed sure to be wary. but most republican leaders' first reaction to the leaner government obama plan is positive. steve handelsman, news 4, capitol hill. some secondary school students in fairfax county got a preview of things to come when first lady michelle obama joined the cast of nickleodeon's tv show "i carly" at an assembly this morning. take a look.

event organizers say it's not just about lavishing celebrities with gifts. it's all about the marketing of course. if the clooneys of the world are seen with your product of course that would be priceless. but of course there is no better gift than winning the coveted trophy, itself. >> jen cheney is the celebrity blogger at "the washington post" and is here once again to share her insight on the big night. good to see you again. >> good to be here. >> so much buzz about british comedian and actor ricky gervais hosting the globes once again this year. do we expect him to be as biting this year? anything different? >> i think he has to be as biting as he was last year because there's been all this hype around it. you know, right after last year's event it was oh, i'm not going to host again and everybody thought maybe he wouldn't because he had gone too far. and now they're kind of bringing up the controversy what is he going to do this year? i think he has to as matt lauer said come out with guns blazing. >> would you be scared if you were a celebrity in that audience? >> a little bit. >> i would be. >> i'm scared at home in my

living room. >> i think that's what they're hoping for. >> exactly. >> a lot of them will be duck igbavboa. many folks of course think the globes are a preview of the oscars. do you go along with that? >> well, i think they are in the sense that they give you kind of a general lay of the land for people who aren't paying, you know, super close attention to awards until this moment. you know, you'll see george clooney there for the descendants, the artist, the cast of the help. those are the faces you'll see at the oscars but in terms of the winners it doesn't always sync up with best picture. they gave best picture to avatar. >> right. >> the year that the hurt locker got it and last year to the social network and the king's speech won the oscar. so there isn't always the same thing there but to get a general feel of who might be nominated it is a good indicator. >> of course the oscars don't have the tv categories. let's get your predictions on some of those. the globe predictions starting with best tv drama out there. >> you know, with the tv stuff, the globe voters tend to be a little wacky. sometimes i think they're voting

during happy hour or something. they want to, you know, vote for things that are new or fresh. my prediction is actually game of thrones which is critically acclaimed, has a very strong following. i think there is -- i think homeland also has a chance too, a new show time drama but i'm predicting -- >> what about best tv comedy? >> that is another one that is kind of interesting. modern family has never gotten the golden globe for best comedy but in keeping with my weird prediction tradition here i'm going with enlighten the hbo show that has laura dern on it. it hasn't been seen by a lot of people yet but is edgy, new, fresh, and that is the kind of thing that often appeals to globe voters. >> modern family already has the eyeballs watching them. they don't need more. who needs that. your prediction for best movie comedy? >> this is the one i feel pretty confident about and that is the artist. that's the front-runner going into the best picture race and i think it definitely stands out.

>> the black and white silent film. >> it is wonderful. it really is. >> a lot of folks are talking about the best movie drama. >> i'm thinking it is going to be "the descendants" and it doesn't hurt that george clooney who is a big star is the lead of the film. >> okay. all right. there you have it. we'll rewind on monday. >> okay. >> enjoy. we'll be tweeting away. >> of course i will. salute linchts good. as we all will. great to see you. thanks so much. >> all righty. well, all this week on news 4 at 4:00 we've been giving you a chance to weigh in and vote for your favorite globe nominees. >> yesterday we asked you to vote for the best tv series drama and the nominees in that category are, american horror story, boardwalk empire, boss, game of thrones, and homeland. >> and you think the winner should be -- here is the drum roll -- american horror story on fx. it was your overwhelming

a japanese photographer captured a rare type of sunset recently. take a look at this. >> kind of blew a lot of people away. the color last seen here was taken over the pacific. green flashes usually take place before sunset or shortly after sunrise. scientists say the phenomenon occurs when the sun's rays are refracted by the atmosphere and appear green. they also say capturing one on camera is rare since a green flash only lasts for a few

seconds. >> the prettiest colors that take place in the sky. >> that is gorgeous. >> every time i take a picture people have green or red eyes. >> anyway. your pictures are beautiful, too. >> so we've got real winter weather on us. >> yes, we do. doug and i were just talking a couple minutes ago in storm center 4 and saying, wait a minute. it's supposed to be cold. >> very. >> it's just that we're not used to it. okay? we have wind chills in the 20s for sure but low 40s our temperatures and that is really average. okay? so again, we're just not used to it. in fact, if we took a look back and we've only had three days this month so far here we are on the 13th of january, only three days so far where temperatures, highs for the day have been below average. only three. so it's been so mild. 41 degrees right now. factor in the wind. it's blowing out of the west at 17 miles per hour. yes there is still higher gusts coming through the area and with that wind and those lower temperatures, what it feels like out there, very cold. here is a look at some of the

current wind gusts now at 31 miles per hour. the current gusts, packs river and that is the highest and where i have seen the highest winds today. generally now between 20 and 25 miles per hour so still looking for a breezy evening. the wind is not going to go away completely, not going to settle completely. we still have to deal with some wind but it won't be quite as stiff as it has been earlier today. current wind chill 23 degrees is what it feels like in frederick, maryland, compared to 31 in manassas, virginia. your coldest temperatures to the north and west. overnight and by tomorrow morning we head down to the low 30s and then upper 20s just inside the beltway. mid 20s elsewhere. 5:00 and 7:00 a.m. it's going to be cold and still again a little bit of wind around. showed you earlier that snow coming across the lakes. look at the temperatures. 22 in chicago, illinois right now. st. louis, cincinnati, ohio. 22 degrees. look at atlanta, georgia, guys. 38 degrees the current temperature. colder there now than it is

right here. >> yes. >> and you can see now as we zoom on in the lake effect snows all the way south down to kentucky. even areas of west virginia getting the snow. in fact, overnight, baird county, pendleton county, 2 to 3 inches of snow. so on your future weather we're cold and we're still a bit windy for the evening. we'll settle to a breezy type of condition as we get into the late night and early tomorrow morning. continued cold to partly sunny sky. there is an area of low pressure. we'll stay to our south but it will provide the area with some clouds i think late saturday and more sunshine behind it for sunday but again continued cold. 30 to 36 degrees for your evening forecast. that west wind still at 10 to 20 miles per hour. tomorrow morning, 23 to 28 degrees so when you head off to the expo, make sure you bundle up and have nice exercise clothes on underneath. we know how to do it at the convention center each year don't we? >> oh, yeah. >> we want you to exercise. cold weekend. we're back into the mid 50s by tuesday.

and that means with temperatures in the mid 50s we're talking about rain and not snow. sorry for you snow lovers. we'll hit the extended forecast when we come back. >> what you and doug are saying is this is completely normal. we've just been conditioned to be wimps. >> spoiled. looks like we'll continue to get spoiled with more of the up and down and more probably up and down. >> all righty. thanks, veronica. still to come on news 4 at 4:00 exactly 30 years ago a plane crashed into the potomac. plane crashed into the potomac. we'll relive the when you first find out you have breast cancer, you feel like you're in a nightmare. terrified. horrified with the news. when i was diagnosed, i felt very out of control and very helpless and a victim of the disease. i was just so overwhelmed, and, um, my heart just started to race.

>> reporter: it was surreal. a plane had crashed into the potomac river. a 737. but what was more surreal was the shattered ice. no plane, just debris. and people, survivors, five of them brought to this awful moment by a series of tragic errors. january 13th, 1982, it had been snowing all day. national airport had to be closed for more than an hour to clean the runway. air florida flight 90 was heading to tampa. it was deiced but it sat for almost an hour -- snow and ice building on the wings. the pilot larry wheaton had never flown in snow. he takes off without inspecting his plane. as it rolls down the runway, the gauges tell them something is terribly wrong. his copilot roger pettitte wants to abort. the pilot continues. at liftoff the plane begins to shake violently. >> i don't think i'll ever

30 years ago all they had was a rope. >> we were in the stone age of rescue equipment, yes. >> reporter: but usher was a chopper pilot in vietnam. he knew how to maneuver. gene windsor, on the skids, was fearless. at one point simply grabbing nicky feltd from the water. >> he physically reached down, picked her up, pulled her up on to his boot, and he was not strapped in. >> we will never forget priscilla torado. her husband and 2-month-old baby dead on the plane. she's cold, she's weak, and she's now blinded by the jet fuel. and she is going to drown. but it was a day of incredible moments and lenny xutnick a bystander who worked for the government suddenly dives into the water and grabs her bringing her to shore. air florida on that surreal afternoon showed us ordinary people doing extraordinary things. >> that was the best i can be
