(Bloomberg) — At least 50 million people are in the path of a paralyzing winter storm that prompted the cancellation of thousands of flights, closed government offices, and threatens Washington with one of its worst snowfalls on record. New York is bracing for a blizzard.

More than 2 feet (61 centimeters) of snow should start falling in Washington and Baltimore later Friday before moving up the coast, according to the National Weather Service. New York will start to get snow Saturday and will probably see more than 6 inches along with heavy winds.
