Blizzard Slams East Coast, New York City At A Standstill
2 weeks ago
A powerful blizzard is hammering the East Coast, dumping heavy snow, unleashing strong winds and creating dangerous whiteout conditions across several states.
Forecasters say some areas could see up to two feet of snow before the storm moves out. Coastal flooding is also a concern as high winds push water toward shorelines and batter vulnerable communities.
In New York City, much of daily life has come to a halt. Roads are largely empty, public transportation has been disrupted and travel bans are in effect across parts of the region through noon Monday.
Blizzard warnings remain in place as emergency crews work around the clock. Officials are urging residents to stay off the roads and remain indoors unless travel is absolutely necessary.
