TVCE (US) – A thick layer of snow covered the Washington D.C. area on Saturday (January 23) as a potentially record-setting blizzard arrived on the East Coast, paralyzing road, rail and airline travel from North Carolina to New York.
A time lapse video showed streets in Washington D.C. being buried under a blanket of snow after the storm started on Friday afternoon.
The Washington and Baltimore metro areas were expected to bear the brunt of the storm.
Two to three feet of snow are likely, accompanied by winds of 30 to 50 miles per hour (48 to 80 km per hour), before the storm winds down on Saturday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
