Winter storm dumps heavy snow along East coast, snarling travel and closing schools A potent winter storm packing heavy snow moved across the South and mid-Atlantic on Monday, snarling traffic, causing power outages and shutting the federal government in Washington, D.C. In the core of the storm's heavy snow, there is the potential for 6-12 inches and locally higher amounts to pile up, AccuWeather said. Much of the storm should be over with by late Monday or Monday evening. However, refreezing of any melted snow tonight may produce additional hazardous travel conditions. 📸: J.
