Snowstorm blankets US northeast
More than 40mn people were under blizzard warnings in the northeast United States Monday, as a winter storm dumped shin-deep snow and officials in New York enforced a citywide travel ban. The so-called "Nor'easter" pummeled the region overnight, disrupting flights and leaving hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without power. Thousands of homes and businesses were without power and officials, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, ordered residents to stay off the roads so emergency crews could clear the streets. Many schools were closed throughout the region. "I'm urging every New Yorker to please stay home," Mamdani said.
