MONSTER SNOWSTORM PARALYZES U.S. EAST COAST
NEW YORK & WASHINGTON DC | 24 JANUARY - ONWARDS

Millions of Americans were preparing to dig themselves out Sunday after a mammoth blizzard with hurricane-force winds and record-setting snowfall brought much of the East Coast to an icy standstill.

Travel bans barring nonemergency vehicles from the roads of New York City and Baltimore were expected to be lifted by early morning.

The massive snowstorm brought both the nation's capital and its largest city to a stop, dumping as much as 3 feet of snow and stranding tens of thousands of travelers.

Officials say the 26.8 inches of snow that fell in New York City's Central Park is the second-most recorded since 1869.
