D.C. Braces for Major Winter Storm as Transit Grinds to a Halt
A major winter storm dumped snow and sleet on the D.C. region, prompting a state of emergency as 3–7 inches fell before sleet and the potential for freezing rain; Metro suspended many bus routes, with only a subset kept open and trains operating on a weekend schedule, while flights were canceled at Reagan National and Dulles; shelters opened to the homeless and public libraries closed as travel and daily life are disrupted.
