Check out this article from Yahoo News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_winter_weather). The link has some eye opening video, and nearly 500 pictures are available in a slide show that is included with the story.

Mid-Atlantic digs out of snowstorm, restores power
By JESSICA GRESKO, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON – Cities in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. awoke Sunday to below-freezing temperatures and piles of wet, heavy snow while power crews tried to restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of homes.

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.

Many roads reopened but officials continued to warn residents that highways could be icy and treacherous. The heavy, wet snow snapped tree limbs onto power lines and several roofs collapsed under the weight.

Philadelphia got 28.5 inches of snow Saturday, just shy of the record 30.7 inches during the January 1996 blizzard. Snow totals were even higher to the west in Pennsylvania, with 31 inches recorded in Upper Strasburg and 30 inches in Somerset.

Almost 18 inches of snow was recorded at Washington's Reagan National Airport, which is closed. That's the fourth-highest storm total for the city. At nearby Dulles International Airport in Virginia, the record was shattered with 32 inches. Flights there have resumed, but are severely limited.

Authorities say most public transportation in Philadelphia has resumed in the wake of the city's second-largest snowfall. But in Pittsburgh, bus and light-rail service was suspended.

In New Jersey, more than 90,000 customers lost power during the storm's peak. By Sunday morning, 59,000 homes and businesses — nearly all in Cape May County — remained without power. Workers from other areas were pitching in and state crews were trying to clear roads.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie urged people to stay off the roads Saturday.

"Try to stay inside, try to stay warm," he said. "Sunday will be a better day so get ready to utilize the rest of your weekend."

In Washington, the sun was finally shining Sunday and the sounds of shovels could be heard on streets. Officials were urging people to keep thoroughfares clear to let plows get through.

The nation's capital took on a surreal, almost magical feel Saturday even though it was one of the worst snowstorms in the city's history.

"Right now it's like the Epcot Center version of Washington," said Mary Lord, 56, a D.C. resident for some 30 years who had skied around the city.

President Barack Obama called it "Snowmageddon." Even his motorcade — which featured SUVs instead of limousines — fell victim to the storm as a tree limb crashed onto a vehicle carrying press. No one was injured.

At the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, soldiers' names were buried 16 rows deep, while higher up snow had settled into the letters so they stood out against the black background. The wreaths of the World War II Memorial looked like giant white-frosted doughnuts. The big attraction at the Lincoln Memorial was not the nation's 16th president, but rather a snowman with eyes of copper pennies bearing Lincoln's likeness.

The storm's damage had serious implications for many people stuck without power and unable to travel elsewhere. Nicole Ibrahim said she was worried for the health of her 2-year-son Joshua after their house in Silver Spring, Md., lost power.

"It's pretty cold and we're worried about Joshua," she said. "We were all bundled up in the same bed together and he was coughing in his sleep and his heart was racing and we worried he might be getting pneumonia."

The snow comes less than two months after a Dec. 19 storm dumped more than 16 inches on Washington. According to the National Weather Service, Washington has gotten more than a foot of snow only 13 times since 1870.

The heaviest on record was 28 inches in January 1922. The biggest snowfall for the Washington-Baltimore area is believed to have been in 1772, before official records were kept, when as much as 3 feet fell, which George Washington and Thomas Jefferson penned in their diaries.

We've been pretty lucky this year. So far I haven't even had to shovel the driveway.
This is Canada, we never say never when it comes to snow.We practically invented the shit!:biggrin:

My luck we'll probably get 20 inches of the shit in April... :rolleyes:

We have had barely ANY snow here in upstate NY. We got 2 inches the last storm...nothing to really talk about. In fact, there are plenty of places around our city and the outskirts that have no snow on the hills or mountains. Been a very strange winter here. Like Jimi says...watch....a freak storm in April.

Hey Jimi, remember the blizzard of '93? I was in the hospital about to give birth to my son. Valentine's Day snow storm of '06 was also brutal. Had so much snow we were actually stranded, the snow was up to my hips. Had to wait for the apartment complex manager to send out the plows. School was closed for 3 days after that storm. Kids were thrilled!

We got 4" which is crazy for us. The only snow we've had in the past 10 years is a slight dusting with zero accumulation. We've only had "real" snow twice in my lifetime, so anything white on the ground is a strange sight for us. I can't believe how quickly it melted. It was mostly gone by nightfall.

Outside my door, not long after the snow started

Now go string her up so it looks like she's flying away and repost. ;)

Shit, there's been so damn many snowstorms over the years, they tend to blend together...:biggrin:
Well, it's Feb. 17 and I havn't picked up the shovel once.
We've gotten minimal snow thus far. Most of it melts away (to a small degree) the next day...

Man, you guys south of Lake Ontario got a good shit kickin this year. Great photos ,btw, Makes me glad we've gotten a bit of a break this year. But I'm not holding my breath ...
I know we're gonna get dumped on this year, it's simply a matter of when...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_the_Unknowns
"The sentinels do not wear rank insignia on their uniforms so that they do not outrank the Unknowns, whatever their rank may have been. Soldiers serving in other roles, like Relief Commander and Assistant Relief Commander, do wear insignia of their rank when changing the guard only. They have a separate uniform worn when they actually guard the Unknowns or are "Posted"

"In 2003, Arlington National Cemetery workers went to bury a newly deceased service member in grave 449 in section 68 of the cemetery, only to discover remains already buried there.[24] Unable to locate the paperwork identifying the soldier and unwilling to disinter the body to identify it, the grave sat without a marker for six years.[24] Arlington installed a headstone marked "Unknown" above the grave in 2009.[24]"

A common complaint around these parts is the lack of sidewalks and there certainly is no shortage of pedestrians on the road in my neighborhood.
The cat in the video below was walking down the road with his headphones on just minding his own business and dancing in the street. I only caught the tail end of the show but I have to give homeboy his moment in the spotlight.

For whatever reason this cat decided to park his gear in the far corner of the lot at Walmart the night the blizzard started, and after a great deal of melting Homeboy still has to wait days for his vehicle to be freed.
