美国首都华盛顿将再降大雪。就在几天前，该地区遭遇了强烈暴风雪袭击，降雪量高达90厘米。星期二，联邦政府连续第二天关闭。整个华盛顿地区交通出行仍然比较困难。许多道路还没有清扫，地铁服务也没有完全恢复。
但是情况可能会变得更糟。美国国家气象局警告说，从星期二到星期三，美国东北部降雪可能达到25到50厘米。新的降雪肯定会给华盛顿和其周边六州部分地区清理第一场积雪的工作带来阻碍。
马里兰、维吉尼亚、西维吉尼亚、新泽西和德拉瓦等州的数万户人家仍然断电，一些住宅的屋顶被雪压塌。
The U.S. capital is bracing for a second major snow storm just days after a powerful blizzard pummeled the region with snowfalls up to 90 centimeters.The federal government closed for a second day Tuesday as transportation remained difficult throughout much of the Washington area. Many roads are still unplowed and the subway system has limited service.
The situation is likely to get worse as the National Weather Service warns 25 to 50 centimeters of snow could fall on the northeastern United States between Tuesday and Wednesday.The new snow is sure to hamper efforts to dig out Washington and parts of six nearby states from the first storm.
Tens of thousands of homes throughout Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey and Delaware are still without power, and the roofs of some houses have collapsed due to the weight of the snow.
