With winter ‘officially’ starting in just days from now, the east coast has been hit with the seasons first real snow storm, dumping as much as 16 inches in some places. Roads, airports and trains have all been slowed and/or shut down.

Forecasts called for up to 20 inches of snow across the region, and authorities in Virginia said three people were killed by the storm. In Ohio, two people were killed in accidents on snow-covered roads hit by the same storm system.
