WASHINGTON — The old joke is that the D.C. plow has a tough time handling much snow.
For many in Washington, the time for joking is past after the third storm in a week — referred to by President Barack Obama as “snowmageddon” — deposited two feet of the white stuff on the District of Columbia over the weekend.
Yet another potent storm is predicted for the mid-Atlantic region tomorrow, and Washington could get an additional ten inches or more.
The federal government is closed today for the first such snow emergency in a long time and a Senate session scheduled this afternoon was canceled. The House isn’t scheduled to return until tomorrow.
In a region that closes schools on predictions of two inches of snow, it could be days before things return to some semblance of normal. That’s prompting discussions of economic loss amid estimates that a shutdown of the federal offices in and around D.C. costs taxpayers $100 million per day in lost productivity.
(CNN) -- Air traffic in Washington picked up after a day of cancellations, but hundreds of thousands along the Eastern seaboard remained without power after a major snowstorm wound down.
More than 300,000 people from Pennsylvania to Virginia were without electricity Sunday morning, utility companies reported. The blizzard -- referred to as "snowmageddon" by President Obama -- brought down power lines across the region, and accumulated snow continued to cause outages.
The utility company provides electricity to customers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia. More than 142,000 of its customers had no power; the majority of them, more than 90,000, reside in Pennsylvania, the company said.
Record-breaking snowfall covered the Washington area, the weather service said. Over two days, 32.4 inches of snow dropped on Dulles International Airport, breaking a January 1996 record of 23.2 inches.
