ACROSS AMERICA — More than a foot of snow has already fallen Monday in parts of the Northeast from a coastal storm that has put more than 50 million people under winter storm advisories, caused scores of flight cancellations and delays, and led to hundreds of vehicle accidents across the region.
The nor’easter could drop an additional 10 to 20 inches of snow by Tuesday morning from Pennsylvania to Maine, forecasters said. Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories have been issued by the National Weather Service from Maine to the central and southern Appalachians.

Some areas of the Catskills, Berkshires and parts of Vermont and New Hampshire could see up to 30 inches of snow, forecasters said.
The storm’s timing hasn’t helped people traveling during the holiday period.
More than 400 flights into and out of the United States were canceled Monday morning, with more than 2,000 delays. Thousands of Thanksgiving travelers remain stranded in airports as the strong snowfall hits the Northeast and a dangerous storm soaks much of the West Coast.
State police in New York had responded to more than 550 storm-related crashes by 7 p.m. Sunday. The snowy conditions have also caused treacherous roads in New Jersey, with the storm having led to at least 275 crashes as of Monday morning.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told nonessential state employees to stay home Monday, and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy chose to close government officers for nonessential employees at noon.
The storm, named Winter Storm Ezekiel by the Weather Channel, began its journey across the country during the last week of November when it slammed into the West Coast as a bomb cyclone.
Winds of more than 100 mph gusted along the coasts of Oregon and California before continuing to a large portion of the Upper Midwest and the Plains.
The western part of the United States is still feeling the effects of the strong storm. In an area of northeast Los Angeles, nearly 9,000 customers lost power Sunday because of heavy snowfall, Southern California Edison said.
