A sprawling, lumbering winter storm has hit areas on the eastern side of the US.
The storm shut down coronavirus vaccination sites, closed schools and halted public transportation as snow piled up from the Appalachians to New England, with the heaviest accumulations yet to come in some places.
Parts of northern New England were waiting their turn to be pummelled by the storm, while residents of the New York City region were digging out from under piles of snow.
The National Weather Service said a foot (31cm) or more could be on the ground in New England by the time the snow finally tapers off in the northern-most states on Wednesday evening.
Coronavirus vaccination sites have been closed and public transport and flights cancelled because of heavy snowstorms in the eastern part of the United States.
More than 16 inches of snow was dropped on Manhattan’s Central Park and as much as 30 inches reported in northern New Jersey.
