Grocery shelves in New York stores are empty amid a powerful snowstorm that has swept across the United States. Footage from major cities shows shoppers stockpiling essentials as the storm rush intensifies.
The storm, which has triggered widespread transportation chaos, has already canceled thousands of flights and caused power outages and icy road conditions nationwide. By Monday morning, at least 18 U.S. states had declared a state of emergency after officials warned the system spans from New Mexico to Maine, with southern regions bracing for severe disruptions due to dangerous ice and heavy snowfall.
