The city rebounds as flight ban has been lifted and everywhere clearing up gradually.
Millions of people across the eastern US are clearing up after the weekend's massive snowstorm that virtually paralysed the region.
They have been digging out their cars and clearing pathways of snow which reached 3ft (91cm) in five states.
Public transport remains disrupted as the working week is set to begin. Many flights have been cancelled.
Government buildings in Washington and many schools will be closed on Monday.
At least 29 deaths have been reported since Friday, when the blizzard began, as a result of car accidents, carbon monoxide poisoning and heart attacks suffered while shoveling snow.
The storm, dubbed "Snowmageddon" and "Snowzilla", has now weakened and headed out into the Atlantic Ocean.
It affected some 85 million people, at one point cutting the power of 300,000 people. The heaviest fall was recorded in Glengary, West Virginia, which had 42in.
