Snow has begun falling in Washington, which could get more than 2½ feet of snow

• Snow began falling Friday afternoon in Washington, a city that could get more than 2½ feet of snow before the storm ends this weekend. It could be the biggest winter storm in recorded history in the nation's capital, and almost certainly in the top five.
    • More than 6,200 U.S. flights -- about 2,900 on Friday and another 3,300 on Saturday -- have been canceled, the flight tracking website FlightAware reported around 2:20 p.m. Friday.
    • Nearly 30,000 customers of Duke Energy, the power utility for much of North Carolina, were without power early Friday afternoon. Dominion Virginia reported about 900 such outages, though Dominion official Kevin Curtis warned that "widespread, multi-day outages" are possible.
