WASHINGTON -- A powerful winter storm bore down on the Mid-Atlantic on Friday with as much as 2 feet of snow in store for the nation's capital, where the federal government prepared to shut early.
Airlines canceled flights across the region and school districts closed for the day ahead of heavy, wet snow forecast from Virginia and West Virginia across Maryland into southern New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Washington residents scrambled for milk, bread and snow shovels ahead of the storm that was due to move across the region through Saturday.
"As you see, I'm in front of Whole Foods and half of the food is gone already," Denise Wright said on a shopping trip for staples.
In Alexandria, Va., James Ivery, 60, and his wife had already bought supplies but were back at a Harris Teeter supermarket Friday morning to get out of the house one last time before the storm. Many shelves and bins were emptied of milk, vegetables, eggs and cold cuts.
"It just seems like people are panicking. I don't think it's going to be too bad," Ivery said. "As long as I got power and satellite service, I'll be fine."
