The U.S. East Coast faces a second day of travel disruption after snowstorms blanketed cities from New York to Boston, closing airports and halting trains with waist-high drifts and blinding winds.

New York City may have as much as 18 inches to 20 inches (51 centimeters) on the ground as of 7 a.m., as the storm’s center shifts north and east, commercial forecaster AccuWeather said. Snowfall in the city eased by daybreak.
