Wildman Pulls His Telephone Line Out Of The Street After A Tree Took Down His Telephone And Electricity Line In Annandale

Andy Wildman pulls his telephone line out of the street after a tree took down his telephone and electricity line in Annandale, Virginia, February 7, 2010.

Churches cancelled services on Sunday and millions of people dug themselves out of snowbound streets as the U.S. mid-Atlantic region struggled to recover from its biggest blizzard in decades.

More than 100,000 households were without power and two of the region's three main airports remained closed after more than 30 hours of snowfall dumped two feet (half a meter) of snow across a region not used to big snows.
