Ukraine's capital shut down as heavy snowfall paralyzed transportation, leaving shelves bare at some food stores and authorities struggling to get the city moving. The government declared Monday a day off for all state workers in the capital and surrounding region after it was covered by around 20 inches of snow, the largest amount to fall in one weekend since records began in 1889, according to Liudmyla Savchenko, head of the forecast department in the State Weather Service.
