Storm closes capital as snow paralyzes vast region
A massive storm blanketed the Northeast with heavy snow, closing federal offices in four states and halting travel from the Deep South to New England. Rhode Island saw 8 inches, Portland 7 inches, while Washington DC recorded 9 inches and New York City 7 inches. Authorities warned of more snow from New England to Virginia as utilities labored to restore power to tens of thousands. Schools, courts, and offices closed across multiple states. Reagan canceled a White House event as governors ordered closures and stranded motorists sought shelter.
