A Nor'easter is churning through the East Coast Thursday, bringing many Northeast cities their first snowfall of the season.

The snow and ice have caused over 1,000 flights to be canceled.

The winter weather will stay put through the evening, causing a treacherous rush hour commute home.

Washington, D.C.

The snow, ice and sleet have already coated the Washington, D.C., roadways.

Reagan National Airport saw 1.4 inches of snow -- the heaviest snow in November in D.C. since 1989.

Parts of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland saw up to six inches of snow.
