A massive snowstorm has hit Eastern America, affecting some 85 million people.

The blizzard has dumped 102cm of snow in some areas, with 11 states declaring emergencies.

All non-essential travel is banned in New York and people have been asked to stay indoors.
Almost all flights into the city have been cancelled.

Officials believe it could be one of the city’s worst snowstorms. Sadly, 18 people have died since the storm hit on Friday.

Further south in Kentucky, a 56km traffic jam has cleared, after thousands of drivers found themselves stranded overnight on Interstate 75 by heavy snow.

The Red Cross erected shelters along the highway for those left in the traffic jam.
