WASHINGTON (AP) — A winter storm packing heavy snow has closed government offices and schools in the nation’s capital and surrounding suburbs.

More than half the flights were delayed or canceled Monday morning at Washington’s three major airports. President Joe Biden had to ride by car to the White House from Joint Base Andrews in suburban Maryland.
