WASHINGTON (AP) - Most trains, planes and buses are still frozen
in place as the cleanup continues after the Mid-Atlantic blizzard.
The nation's capital is pretty well shut down again today with
schools and even the government closed due to hazardous travel
conditions that persist for a second day after the snow stopped.
Stranded travelers are wondering when they'll be able to escape
the effects of the "historic" snowstorm.
Thousands of homes are still without power and with temperatures
below freezing utilities are warning it could be days before
electricity is restored to everyone.
For many in the Washington, D.C.-area, it's another day to dig
out.
Making matters worse, the weather service has issued a storm
watch for the Washington area Tuesday, saying there was potential
for another 5 inches or more of snow.
