Monstrous winter storm Jonas continues to hammer the Eastern seaboard, leaving thousands of travelers stranded and countless others without means of transportation.

Over 9,000 flights slated to depart between Friday and Sunday have been cancelled. At least 500 vehicles are stuck on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and nearly 100,000 New Jersey residents are without power.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced vehicle travel bans ranging from Long Island to Westchester County, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon. De Blasio said "plows literally can't keep up" when snowfall hits a certain rate before urging city restaurants and theaters to close and for employees to be allowed to return home.
