By the time the storm wraps up Monday night, Washington could have more snow than Chicago and Denver have had so far this season.
Hundreds of thousands of customers lost power on Monday, including more than 344,000 in Virginia and 166,000 in North Carolina, according to PowerOutage.us, which aggregates data from utilities across the U.S.
Through the first half of the day on Monday, the snow was expected to be heavy at times, as heavy as 1 to 4 inches per hour, leading to quick accumulations on the roadways during the morning rush hour. In other words, a distance of just 20 miles could mean the difference between accumulating snow and a dusting.
Monday morning featured a tornado watch for cities like Myrtle Beach and Cape Hatteras, where severe thunderstorms capable of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes charged through the eastern Carolinas. Flash flooding was also a concern.
