A winter storm packing heavy snow and strong winds engulfed parts of the U.S. Southeast and mid-Atlantic states on Monday, forcing federal offices and schools to close as it threatened to make travel dangerous and knock out power.
Severe weather warnings were in effect from Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia, and north into Washington and Philadelphia, where 4 to 8 inches of snow and 40 mile-per-hour winds were forecast, the National Weather Service said.
The inclement weather forced federal government offices to close in Washington, while dozens of schools canceled or delayed the start of school across the region. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a snow emergency as public transportation in the city of 700,000 people was operating at a reduced schedule.
Tornado and flood watches were also in effect for coastal North Carolina where heavy rains and damaging winds were expected.
