The frozen Potomac River is blanketed with snow in Washington D.C. on Christmas Day.
A rare white Christmas in parts of the South was complicating life for some travelers as airlines canceled hundreds of flights, while snow was predicted for the nation's Capital and travel authorities warned of potentially dangerous roads.

Heavy rain now in the Charleston SC area but Weather Channel predicts some snow Sunday on the coast as far south as near the Georgia/Florida border.
Well it is interesting to see that the extra moisture in the air is contributing to more snow.
“The inside the Beltway crowd believe the world stops just west of Dulles Intl AP.”
no no no no no ....it ends just EAST of Dulles!
This storm, such as it may be, is fine ... all the power brokers are back home across the fruited plain in the back yards of the folks and fools who send them here. DC is (virtually) empty.
Don't I know it. There are so few Libs around where I live that I'm always suprised by the election results.
A blizzard warning tonight for millions of people seems newsworthy.
Football weather! Yeah, man! Bring it.
They’re having the same travel problems in Europe and, somewhere, Al Gore is counting his millions.
Yet somehow they can justify in their minds that their 50 year forecast is more accurate based on some temperature reading from 1852 and a tree ring sample from 1906.
Should have stayed in B'ham. Rainy and mid 40's today, tomorrow, the day after that, yadda yadda yadda, until about mid June.
I hear what you are talking about with the Sierras. When I got my job up here in Bellingham I was supposed to check in on a Monday. I figured I would leave on Saturday to give myself two days to drive. On Thursday afternoon the weather started getting bad and the NWS was telling people to pick which side of the Sierras you wanted to be on for the next 5 days. I packed out my car and was on the road in an hour. It still took 5 hours to get from Reno to Auburn CA.
Because these same climatologists sometimes get tomorrow's weather wrong, you must also think they're wrong about next summer being warmer than this winter.
Some of us have to keep driving past Dulles on our daily commutes.
And snow in Michigan during the winter is not news any more than sun in Florida.
The funny thing is that the Potomac River never gets frozen......
Thank G-d it will occur on a Sunday, when all the Non-Essential Government personnel will already be at home...
That is kinda how it works. I mean the 1000 people who live in one of the counties are not going to be able to withstand the millions that live in another. It is always so funny how people here like yourselves don’t understand how the voting works. If you have people live in one area and 10 percent live in the rest of the area, you are still going to have the one major population decide elections. I always thought that was a strange complaint when people give it.
Scroll down to see a radar model of the storm blasting its way up the east coast.
While a few inches of snow in Washington DC can shut down schools and government offices, girl scouts are going door-to-door in Michigan selling cookies.
pretty cool that Kozlowski and Hogan got hitched...been together twenty years..meanwhile back to the weather...suppose to be 3 inches here in Manteo today...
Ask the crew and passengers of Air Florida Flight 90.
“18 hours of heavy, wind-whipped snow.
Total snow accumulations within this zone will exceed a half foot.”
“Heavy, wind-whipped snow? Exceed a half foot.” What? Here, if we have 18 hours of heavy snow, we get two to three feet! I certainly wouldn’t call 6 inches of snow “heavy!”
Hey, we’ve got 4” on the ground here in the Triangle of NC, folks to our west have 8”, the mountains are closer to 10-12”. For us, that’s major! They’re even getting snow at the beaches.
