Storms dump snow, cut power in US east

China Daily  

Residents in Washington build a large snow figure in front of the US Capitol on Wednesday. KAYLA BARTKOWSKI VIA GETTY IMAGES WASHINGTON — Storms dumped heavy snow and freezing rain on a swath of the US east, from Kentucky to the nation's capital, causing hundreds of traffic accidents, knocking out power in places and threatening to flood waterways as temperatures began rising on Wednesday. The storm system, which cut a path from Kentucky to Maryland and points farther north on Tuesday, brought more than 36 centimeters of snow to Iron Gate, a tiny Appalachian town in western Virginia, and 30 cm to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, a small city about 105 kilometers to the west, the National Weather Service said. A flood threat through Thursday morning stretched from eastern Tennessee to southwestern Virginia into other parts of the south, the weather service said. "Our main concern once we get into Thursday will be potential flooding impacts as we see rivers and streams swell with the combined impact of melting snowpack and rain at the same time," said Vance Joyner, a weather service meteorologist in Blacksburg, Virginia.
