WASHINGTON – School is cancelled, buses are halted and federal government workers are staying home as the U.S. capital braces for a storm expected to dump up to 30 centimetres of snow on parts of the East Coast.

The latest frigid blow threatened as much as 25 centimetres of snow by the end of Monday in Washington, Baltimore and elsewhere in the mid-Atlantic region.

Up to 15 centimetres of snow was predicted to the north in Philadelphia, while nearly 30 centimetres was expected in parts of New Jersey.

Residents say they’re sick of the harsh winter.

The forecasts were enough to shut much of Washington down.
