Millions of people in New York City and a large swath of the northeastern U.S. were stuck at home under road travel bans and blizzard warnings on Monday as a fierce winter storm barreled into the densely populated region with heavy snowfall and high winds.

New York City Public Schools will have a traditional snow day Monday due to the nor'easter and forecast for blizzard conditions and towering snow totals across the five boroughs. Mayor Zohran Mamdani made the announcement Sunday as the city's forecast for snow intensified.
