'Battle of Snomicron' snowball fight in Washington snow storm.
Washington D.C. residents engaged in a fierce snowball fight on Monday, making the best of a storm that unleashed heavy snow on the nation's capital.
Dozens of snowball warriors split into two sides on the National Mall and pummeled each other with snowballs.

A winter storm unleashed snowfall and strong winds throughout much of the U.S. Southeast and mid-Atlantic on Monday, forcing federal offices and schools to close, grounding aeroplanes and knocking out power for thousands of people.
