WEATHER TROUBLES * USA - Mid-Atlantic digs out of snow
Government Shut
Washington,DC,USA -The Associated Press, by BEN NUCKOLS and NAFEESA SYEED/The Trucker -8 Feb 2010: -- The federal government was shuttered Monday while the Mid-Atlantic region dug out from as much as three feet of snow that left tens of thousands without power and blocked trains, planes and cars, with another storm looming... Federal agencies that employ 230,000 in Washington were closed, as were many local governments, businesses and school districts across the region. Around 200,000 students in Philadelphia's public and Roman Catholic schools got a snow day... With more snow expected Tuesday, stranded travelers and those struggling with no electricity wondered when they'd escape the icy, gray mess... (Photo AP: The National Weather Service called the storm "historic" and reported a foot of snow in parts of Ohio and 2 feet or more in Washington, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Parts of Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia got closer to 3 feet)
