BBC: Blizzards have swept north along the eastern coast of the US, forcing the cancellation of more than 2,000 flights and disrupting rail and road traffic.
The winter storm closed New York airports, stranding thousands of people in a busy post-Christmas travel period.
The New York area was in the bull's eye of the storm, receiving up to 46cm (18in) of snow on Sunday.
Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina and Virginia declared emergencies.
The southern states of Georgia and South Carolina had their first white Christmas in more than a century.
But Washington DC appeared likely to escape the blizzard, with a small amount of snowfall expected.
The National Weather Service said the monster snow storm was the result of a low pressure system which is currently intensifying south-east of New York's Long Island.
It said a full-blown blizzard - meaning winds of at least 35mph (55km/h) along with snow and low visibility - was pummelling eastern New Jersey, New York City and western Long Island.
Blizzard warnings remained in effect for coasts of the northern mid-Atlantic states. Officials in eastern Canada said they were also bracing for the storm. - BBC
