 Traffic and weather together on the 8th, and we start with Dave Dildine. He's in the traffic center. Clockwise on the interloop, slow traffic, Route 7 toward the American Legion Bridge, and now slower in Silver Spring. Broken-down minivan stalling in the second lane from the left near the Northwest Branch Bridge, quoted to a caller. That's between University Boulevard and New Hampshire Avenue. Drivers channeling around that broken-down vehicle to the left and to the right until they manage to get themselves out of the way.
