Northeastern U.S. cities including New York and Boston have been hit by a massive snowfall, courtesy of a sweeping winter storm. Residents were taken by surprise as weather predictions for only light dustings of snow fell flat against the heavy showers that have since descended upon the region. Roadways are blanketed under inches of snow, bringing traffic and mobility to a halt.
The sudden and unexpected snowstorm has thrown the cities into a wintery disarray, disrupting the daily routine of businesses and schools and bringing the usual hustle and bustle to a near standstill. The authorities are working tirelessly to clear the choked highways and streets. With the winter storm still raging, residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid nonessential travel for their safety.
