Blizzard brings US east coast to standstill and delivers near-record snowfall

A blizzard with hurricane-force winds has brought much of the US East coast to a standstill, dumping as much as 3ft (90cm) of snow, stranding tens of thousands of travellers and shutting down Washington and New York City.

An estimated 80 million people across 20 states are facing a second day of being effectively trapped inside due to heavy snow and dangerous conditions, which are expected to last until Sunday.
