Paulsboro, United States - February 12, 2025 New York City and Washington, D.C., were among the cities urging unsheltered people to get in from the cold Tuesday as the Northeast, the Great Plains and the Midwest faced winter storms that put tens of millions under weather alerts. A little more than 5 inches of snow had fallen at the U.S. Capitol by Tuesday night, the National Weather Service said. The winter storm prompted the Senate to delay a confirmation vote for Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump’s pick for a key intelligence post. More than 99 million people were under winter weather warnings or winter weather advisories across the country Tuesday night, the weather service said. [Credit: X/MannysWeather]
