Residents of cities across much of the north-eastern United States have woken up to heavy snow, with up to 60cm (24in) falling in places across New York state, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Many areas in the north-eastern US are blanketed in snow, although in New York City it was less deep than originally feared.
In New York City, forecasts were downgraded and a driving ban was lifted. The mayor said the city had "dodged a bullet".
New York's Times Square, usually packed during rush hour, was quiet on Tuesday morning.
Central Park became an unlikely winter sports venue.
But elsewhere in New York State, the snow fell much more heavily, like here on Long Island.
Massachusetts saw some of the heaviest snowfalls.
Forecasters say blizzard conditions will continue in the Boston area throughout the day.
Schools are expected to remain closed until Wednesday.
The public has been asked to avoid travel unless completely necessary.
The storm is expected to move into Canada next.
