The eastern half of the United States faced a series of heavy snowfalls and strong winds on Monday, as severe weather swept across much of the country and left roads impassable in the north-central region, The Associated Press reported.

Meteorologists indicated that the Mid-Atlantic states and Washington, D.C., were at the highest risk of strong winds and tornadoes. The cold front was expected to move offshore from the East Coast by Tuesday, leaving behind a sharp drop in temperatures, experts said.
