Just when everyone thought that this country has had enough for the season, another East Coast snowstorm rears its ugly head. The National Weather Service has warned that between today and tomorrow there will be 10-20 inches for Northern Virginia, East Maryland, and the District of Columbia. This will be the third major snowfall to hit this region in the last seven weeks alone.
Last weekend, an incredible 32.4 inches of snow hit Washington's Dulles International Airport, which is a record breaking number, falling within just a two day period. Now with the new snow falling, the communities in these three areas of the country are hopefully stocked up for impossible road conditions. Federal employees and school systems will be completely out of commission for at least several days in these regions, the only ones out in the storm will of course by rescue workers and emergency vehicles.
Many airports in these highly populated cities are asking their passengers to only show up if they have a confirmed flight; if not, they may be stuck in the terminal for quite awhile. Even Amtrak had to cancel several scheduled trips due to storm related power line outages and weather conditions. CNN did a story on this up and coming East Coast snowstorm, and included additional information about the affected areas.
