Heavy snow and blizzard conditions are persisting across the East Coast, with 85 million people affected and up to 3ft (90 cm) of snow dumped in some places.
Here's what's happened so far:
At least 11 people have died, with emergencies declared in 11 states and 20 states affected.
All non-essential travel has been banned in New York, with transport suspended. Those driving non-essential vehicles risk being arrested.
In Washington all mass transit is to be closed until Monday.
Tens of thousands of people are without power across New Jersey, Virginia and North Carolina.
Motorists have been stranded for hours along pockets of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
More than 5,500 flights to, from or within the US have been cancelled this weekend.
Cars completely covered by snow
BBC Radio 5 live has been asking people for their snowbound video stories.
Here's what they got - including a street in Washington where cars are completely buried.
The pause before the next blizzard
In some parts of DC, such as outside the US Capitol, the clear up was already under way earlier, before another blizzard struck.
The National Weather Service defines a blizzard as a storm which contains large amounts of snow or blowing snow, with winds in excess of 35 mph (16km/h) and visibility of less than 1/4 mile for an extended period of time (at least 3 hours). The word used to refer to a cannon shot or a volley of musket fire, according to AccuWeather, but started to be used to describe snowstorms in the 1870s.

Hundreds of people are sharing their pictures of #snowmageddon2016 online.
After a lull in the early afternoon in Washington, the blizzard roared back with high winds and heavy snow. Here, a reporter for Buzzfeed filmed the scene in Washington's Adams Morgan neighborhood.
There have been reports of "thundersnow" in parts of the US. For those furrowing their brows in confusion, the meteorological phenomenon is basically the same as a thunderstorm, except that snow falls instead of rain. It occurs when the atmosphere is unstable and the layer of air closest to the ground is cold enough to create snow, but still warmer than the air above it.
The BBC's Laura Bicker, in Washington DC, reports on the storm sweeping the US.
Flooding, not snow, in southern New Jersey
A full moon, high tide and the massive winter storm hitting the US east coast combined to cause significant flooding in southern New Jersey's seaside towns. Waves of 22ft (7m) and a storm surge of two to three feet were reported on Saturday morning.

Emergency vehicles not immue
Even a massive fire engine was no match for unploughed snow along 12th Street in northwest Washington on Saturday. At one point, the firemen used their axes as (ineffective) makeshift shovels. It took a few hours for the engine to get moving again.
