Millions of Americans are shovelling out after Winter Storm Jonas, which brought Washington DC and New York to a standstill.

It dumped as much as 90cm (3ft) of snow and stranded tens of thousands of travellers.

Central Park saw 68.1cm (2.2ft) of snow, the second highest since 1869, narrowly missing the previous record set in 2006.

Though the storm has passed, authorities have asked people to stay off the streets as crews plough impassable roads.
