More snow due to hit storm-battered east coast




WASHINGTON (AFP) – The US east coast was on Tuesday bracing braced for a new major winter storm after record snowfall left thousands shivering in the dark without power, with transportation paralyzed and the federal government shut down.

The Wasghington DC remained largely snow-locked, while many local governments, businesses and schools were also closed across the mid-Atlantic region.

The National Weather Service issued a 30-hour winter storm warning beginning midday on Tuesday for Washington, Maryland and parts of Virginia, saying it expects another 10 to 20 inches (25-50 cm) of snow to cover the area.

"The combination of snow and strong winds will make travel very hazardous," said the NWS in its advisory
