The first big blizzard of 2015 has arrived, with 30 million people bracing for the worst. As governors up and down the east coast declared states of emergency and urged residents to take precautions, snow was beginning to blanket major cities.
Shoppers were lining up at their local stores to hoard supplies of food, water and rugged winter gear.

Meanwhile, commutes were becoming a nightmare after New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut issued travel bans and moved to shut down public transportation services.
We need you to help be our eyes and ears during the blizzard by sending us your best photos, videos, and stories from the north-east snowstorm. Are you stuck in a traffic jam or facing empty shelves at the supermarket? Is your train station packed with commuters eager to get home before the shutdowns? Or are you building snowmen and cuddling up with your pets to wait out the bad weather? Or are you seeing news much worse than that? Upload your submissions to Guardian Witness and we’ll use the best in our live coverage of the storm.
