A historic snowstorm has blanketed the northeastern United States, impacting over 40 million residents with up to 90 cm of snow and 90 km/h winds in some areas. New York City experienced 40-50 cm of snowfall, with the mayor declaring the worst had passed by Monday evening. The storm caused widespread power outages, affecting approximately 570,000 homes, with over 285,000 in Massachusetts. Over 6,000 flights were canceled, primarily from New York, Boston, and Philadelphia airports. While non-essential vehicle traffic resumed in New York City by Monday noon, travel remained hazardous, and public transportation faced disruptions. Governors of eight states declared a state of emergency, and despite the severe conditions, New York City reported no storm-related deaths in public spaces.
