New York City has been hit by a powerful winter storm that is blasting the North East of the United States on Tuesday.

The city is expected to get more than six inches of snow, the most snowfall it has seen in two years. Around 46 million people from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts were under winter alerts as the storm impacted the region.
