A massive snowstorm pummeled the northeast United States from Maryland to Maine, forcing millions of people to stay home amid strong wind and blizzard warnings, transportation shutdowns, and school and business closures. New York City remains under a state of emergency, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a Monday afternoon news briefing. Snow fell at a rate of 2 to 3 inches an hour early Monday from New York through Massachusetts. Some areas have gotten well over a foot of snow since Sunday, along with wind gusts of over 30 mph and low visibility. More than 5,000 flights in and out of the U.S. were canceled, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware.
