A winter snowstorm blanketed the US capital on Monday, closing government offices, snarling travel and grounding the president’s helicopter. Up to 25 centimetres was forecast for the District of Columbia and parts of Virginia and Maryland.
Photos of the wintry landscape showed kids being pulled on sleds around the Capitol, a snow-covered Korean War Veterans Memorial and a reveller out for a run.
Dozens of flights were delayed or cancelled at the city’s three main airports, according to FlightAware.com’s misery map. A quarter of the flights at New York’s three major airports were delayed or called off as well.
