  • Millions of people in the US eastern side are covered by a  thick blanket of snow. It has paralysed transport, as well in the capital and NYC.
  • As householders dug themselves out of drifts up to 40in (102cm) deep, the hazards of shovelling snow were brought home by at least six deaths.
  • 12 people have died in other snow-related incidents since Friday.
  • The storm, dubbed Snowmageddon and Snowzilla on social media, is lessening and heading for the Atlantic Ocean.
