During a weather forecast, the National Weather Service warned that the Washington area, which was slammed days ago with more than eight inches of snow, was expected to get another round.

According to officials, federal offices in Washington have been shut down.

Some schools, on Friday, also adjusted their operations as the Washington mayor, Muriel Bowser, declared the closure of schools due to the storm.
