A powerful winter storm hit the northeast U.S. on Monday, leaving millions stranded at home, prompting travel bans — which were lifted by midday— and flight cancellations throughout New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

According to Connecticut Public, some parts of the state got as much as two feet of snow, while some neighborhoods throughout New York recorded as much as 24 inches of snow. Thousands of residents in New York and New Jersey also reported power outages, with nearly 40,000 customers in New Jersey still without power as of early this evening.

Here are images of the areas affected by the winter storm:
