The storms followed a system earlier Saturday which brought a possible tornado and flooding to parts of Kentucky.
A winter storm packing heavy snow was blowing into the nation’s capital on Monday, closing government offices and schools. As much as 10 inches of snow was forecast for the District of Columbia, northern Virginia and central Maryland through the afternoon. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for the area until 4 p.m. EST Monday. Wind gusts of up to 35 mph were forecast, and travel was expected to be very difficult because of the hazardous conditions, the weather service said.
“The timing of this isn’t great,” said National Weather Service meteorologist David Roth. “For the D.C. area, it’s morning rush hour. At least for places to the northeast, it’ll be closer to midday.” More than half the flights were delayed or cancelled Monday morning at Ronald Reagan National Airport, Baltimore/Washington International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport, according to FlightAware.com’s misery map. A quarter of the flights at New York’s three major airports were delayed or cancelled as well.
