The Washington region awoke Saturday under a blanket of heavy, wind-driven snow that was more than a foot deep in many places, with the East Coast under a blizzard warning from central Virginia to New England.
Some power outages were reported in Virginia and Maryland, especially in Annapolis and on Maryland’s eastern shore. Snowplows appeared to have kept many major roadways clear, although the Capital Beltway at the U.S. 50 interchange was clogged with disabled or stuck cars.
Transportation officials had urged people to stay off the roads, and most seemed to have heeded the warnings: Most streets were deserted at dawn, and traffic was minimal.
