Baku – APA. At least 16 people have died due to blizzard-like conditions battering the eastern half of the US, leaving nearly two feet of snow, Sky News reported.
Governors in New York and New Jersey declared states of emergency and urged residents to stay at home, while hundreds of schools were shut down in Boston and New York.
The deaths include those caused by difficult traffic conditions in Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois.
Around 1,900 flights have been cancelled across the country as howling wind and sub-zero temperatures wreaked chaos.
Forecasters say temperatures were plummeting to well below freezing, and wind chill readings could hit minus 10F (-23C).
