|  |  | The Snow Blizzard of 2010 ties with the previous record from the Knickerbocker Storm of 1922.
The Governor of Virginia declared a state of emergency due to the snow storm and many schools are closed. Many highways were totally closed on Saturday. Airports ran limited service and trains were cancelled. On Sunday, about 150,000 people remained without electricity throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
The snow is not expected to melt anytime soon - temperatures will be sub-zero the next few days and more snow is possible for Tuesday. Photos and Text by Sudhindra Yapalparvi.
