The first storm dumped over a foot of snow in parts of the Appalachians and mid-Atlantic, including Washington, D.C., which was blanketed by over 6 inches of snowfall on Tuesday. The White House, National Mall and U.S. Capitol were covered in white.

Repeatedly in Lake Forest Wednesday, very light waves of snow would pick up significantly throughout day. Thus, as fast as crews went in to plow, the roads got blanketed again in a matter of minutes.
