People across the U.S. Northeast were digging themselves out on Tuesday after a powerful storm blanketed parts of the region with more than 2 feet of snow, prompting airlines to cancel flights and contributing to at least two deaths.

The nor'easter—an East Coast storm whose winds blow from the northeast—cut power to thousands of households, and halted some subway and train service in and around New York City. It dropped about 30 inches of snow in parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania and up to 18 inches in New York City.
