The snowstorm, which began as a clipper system that brought snow and slick roads to the Midwest on Sunday, was expected to hit the East Coast hardest Monday evening through Tuesday.

Local leaders in the New York area were warning residents to stay off the roads and planned to shut down or curtail mass transit systems as the storm intensifies.
President Obama was briefed on the storm and White House officials have been in touch with state and local officials on the eastern seaboard, according to White House Spokesman Josh Earnest.
FEMA also has assets in the region ready to assist, Earnest said.
