A winter storm is brought heavy snow and ice to parts of the US and Canada, with millions under weather warnings.
Thousands of flights have been cancelled, and power cuts have been reported in some south-eastern states.
Virginia, Georgia, and North and South Carolina declared states of emergency.
The US National Weather Service (NWS) said the storm would hit much of the eastern third of the country over the next two days, with more than 1ft of snow expected in some areas.
The huge storm system is approaching the eastern US from the Midwest.
Snow and ice could result in “dangerous travel, power outages, and tree damage”, the NWS warned.
There were also forecasts of possible coastal flooding in some areas, including New York city and parts of Connecticut, with warnings that roads and infrastructure could be affected.
In Canada’s Ontario province, which shares a border with New York state, Environment Canada issued storm warnings for much of the south. Toronto, the capital of the province and Canada’s largest city, is forecast to get seven inches of snow.
US airlines had cancelled at least 2,400 flights by Sunday morning as a result of the extreme weather, according to flight tracking data.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina was among the worst hit, with almost 90% of flights scrapped, and a message on its website urged passengers to check with their airlines before travelling to the airport.
