Residents across the region were asked to stay away from work on Monday if possible as crews rush to clear the aftermath of the weekend’s “Snowmageddon” from streets and rails before another storm dumps more snow Tuesday.

“Unless you have to go, don’t go out,” said John Townsend, a spokesman for the AAA Mid-Atlantic auto club. “The whole region is digging itself out, and it’s going to be days before the thousands of miles of secondary roads are plowed.”
