USA - Snow started to fall in Washington early Friday afternoon. The city, along with Baltimore, may get more than 61 centimetres, according to the National Weather Service. New York and Long Island may see as much as 46 centimetres. A paralysing winter storm forced the cancellation of thousands of flights, knocked out power to homes and threatened Washington with one of its heaviest snowfalls on record as it moved up the US East Coast. Grocery store shelves were emptied in preparation for the storm, which was dubbed "Snowzilla" by The Washington Post's weather team. Schools and government offices in Washington were all closed, with public transportation scheduled to shut down late Friday until early Monday.
