The US capital remained crippled Tuesday by the messy aftermath of the huge weekend blizzard that blanketed the East Coast.
As convoys of giant snow blowers and front loaders cruised the downtown streets clearing the main avenues, the federal government and schools stayed closed for a second day.
Snow plows have yet to reach many residential streets in the city and its suburbs, leaving them impassable as residents shoveled to clear their cars and sidewalks.
The Metro subway system, which reopened partially on Monday after being closed all weekend, had planned to restore full service on five of its six lines.
