NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The latest in a long line of winter storms is taking aim at the East Coast, threatening to dump heavy snow and some ice in several states.

In advance of the region's second winter storm in as many months, government offices, schools and the Cumberland County Courthouse are closed.

The last in a long train of storms will bring snow and ice to the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas on Wednesday. While Washington will be near the northern edge of the storm starting late in the morning — with a dusting to a half-inch of snow possible in the District and areas to the south by the evening — impacts will be moderate to major farther south.
