A winter storm filled with heavy snow blew through Washington, D.C. on Monday, closing government offices and schools and grounding the presidential helicopter. Up to 10 inches (25 cm) of snow is forecast for the District of Columbia, northern Virginia and central Maryland by noon. Snow grounded US President Joe Biden’s helicopter, so he was forced to convoy from Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland to the White House after a weekend in Delaware. The White House press briefing was canceled, with the nation’s capital and its surrounding streets covered in snow, although Biden’s other public events were still on hold.
