アメリカ北東部は3月14日、大雪を伴う嵐「ステラ」に見舞われた。ニューヨークやボストンなどの空港でおよそ6000便のフライトが欠航となり、バージニア州からニュージャージー州にかけて停電で12万人の市民に影響が出た。ニューヨーク州など5つの州で非常事態宣言が出た。

14日午後になってもニューイングランドやニューヨーク北部、ペンシルベニア州などで大雪が続いている

ニューヨーク市内では7インチ(約18センチ)の積雪があったが、予報よりも少なくなっている。

ペンシルバニア州東部とニューヨーク州北部ではこれまで20インチ(約51センチ)の積雪が見られた。

この雪の影響で、ドイツのアンゲラ・メルケル首相の訪米が17日に延期となったが、ワシントンD.C.の積雪も僅かだった。

大雪が降り続ける中、 勇敢なカメラマンや市民たちが外へ出て嵐の様子を撮影した。

その一部の写真を紹介する。
