The US East Coast is hunkering down as a major blizzard hits the region for the first time in four years.
The storm is forecast to stretch from the Carolinas to Maine, packing hurricane-force winds in coastal parts. Five states have declared emergencies.
Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston, a city that is no stranger to snowfall, said the storm could be “historic”.
More than two feet of snow could fall in New England. Weather officials also warn of flooding near the coast.
Over 5,000 US flights were cancelled between Friday and Sunday, according to FlightAware.
Forecasters say there is a chance the storm, known as a Nor’easter, will blanket the Boston area with up to 2ft (61cm) of snow.
