A state of emergency has been declared in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Washington, D.C., as the East Coast is braced for one of the most brutal snowstorms in a century.
It came after Washington, D.C., had already ground to a halt under just an inch of snowfall, with highways around the capital gridlocked.
But the National Weather Service warned this is just the tip of the iceberg as the agency issued a blizzard alert for the region.
More than a third of Americans will be affected by the storm, which is set to dump two feet of snow between Mississippi and Boston, hitting Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. the worst.
Winds of around 60mph are expected to shut off power in hundreds of thousands of homes on the coastal region from Virginia Beach to Long Island.
