Light snow mixed with rain fell in Washington, where federal offices were closed and more than 1,000 flights scratched, as the city braced for a winter storm that dumped more than 9 inches of snow on Chicago.
Washington and Baltimore may get 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 centimeters) of snow before the storm lets up tomorrow, according to the National Weather Service in Sterling, Virginia. New York may see 4 inches or more and 6 to 10 inches may fall in the Boston area. The system has already left as much as 12 inches on the mountains of Virginia, the agency said.
