NEW YORK (AP) A sprawling winter storm is walloping the Eastern U.S., shutting down coronavirus vaccination sites, closing schools and halting transit.

Snow piled up Monday from the Appalachians to New England, with the heaviest weather yet to come in many places. The National Weather Service said more than 13 inches of snow had fallen in Manhattan’s Central Park by the early afternoon, and as much as 16 inches was reported in northern New Jersey.

Parts of New England also braced for a foot or more. At least three deaths that appeared to be related to the storm were reported in Pennsylvania.
