A severe blizzard has paralyzed the northeastern United States, impacting millions across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut, including major cities like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. Over 40 million people are under warnings, with approximately 400,000 experiencing power outages. Central Park in New York recorded at least 38 centimeters of snow, the most in five years, and meteorologists anticipate it could be the worst storm in a decade, characterized by 60 km/h winds and heavy, wet snow causing downed trees and coastal flooding. Authorities in New York and New Jersey have implemented driving bans and closed roads, bridges, and highways to non-essential traffic, while thousands of flights have been canceled at major airports, disrupting travel significantly.
