Business Insider reports that Winter Storm Stella could be New York City's biggest snowstorm in March since 1888 and the fifth to ever drop a foot of snow in Manhattan in March. Several school districts on the East Coast are planning to close, including the Philadelphia School District and NYC Public Schools. CNN reports that airlines have already canceled thousands of flights in anticipation of the storm. People in affected areas are encouraged to avoid driving during the storm and delay travel plans until after the storm has passed.

The storm is the result of a low pressure system moving east across the Midwest colliding with one moving west from the southeast coast. The Midwest is also experiencing severe winter weather with over a foot having accumulated in Iowa and Minnesota. People in the Midwest and Northeast are advised to stay inside during the storm and stock up on necessary items ahead of time, such as food, medication, and warm clothing.
