US-WEATHER

People visit theLincoln Memorial as melting snow wets the floor January 21, 2014 in Washington, DC. The northeastern United States hunkered down Tuesday for a major snowstorm that forecasters warned could leave as much as one foot (30 centimeters) of snow in some places. Downtown Washington fell virtually silent after the federal government, seeing the swift-moving cold front approaching, closed its doors and told civil servants to stay home. Many offices and schools followed suit, as 20 mile (32 kilometer) per hour winds whipped the falling snow through the unusually quiet streets. Enough snow was expected to fall on the US capital to turn the evening rush hour into a Beltway traffic nightmare, as the storm churned its way into New York and the northeastern New England states.AFP PHOTO/Brendan SMIALOWSKI (Photo credit should read BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images)
