Video has emerged of the terrifying moment a large cargo jet skid off the runway and crashed into cargo bins at Chicago's O'Hare Airport as a storm began pummeling the Northeast and New England, grounding thousands of flights and creating extreme hazards for road travel. 

The shocking video, captured by CCTV at the O'Hare Airport on Saturday, shows the China Airlines Cargo 747 sliding on the snow covered ground as it loses control and swerves into cargo on the runway. 

One of the cargo bins can be seen getting sucked into the left engine. It's immediately shredded into pieces and damages the engine, which erupts into smoke. 

The plane is shaken by the crash and finally comes to a halt. 

The Chicago Fire Department responded to the scene, and no injuries were reported. 

On Saturday morning, snow was falling furiously at a rate of one to two inches per hour in New York City, which was saw eight inches, with up to 18 inches expected on the eastern end of Long Island.

'This is a very serious storm,' New York Governor Kathy Hochul said at a press conference. 'This could be life-threatening.' 

One weather-related death has already been reported in Long Island around 8.30am, where an elderly man was shoveling snow near a pool when he fell in and reportedly drowned, according to Southold Town Police. 

Officer managed to pull the man out of the pool and perform CPR on him with the assistance of Cutchogue Fire Department Rescue personnel.

He was transported to Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital, where he was later announced deceased.  

As of 4pm, the highest snowfall total was in Norton, Massachusetts, with a total of 22.5 inches of snow.

New England was expected to be hardest hit, and forecasters say that Boston's totals could rival the record of 27.6 inches set in 2003, with predictions of up to 30 inches in parts of Massachusetts as coastal flooding threatened Boston harbor.  

More than 3,500 flights were cancelled across the country Saturday, including nearly every flight into or out of Boston, and more than 1,000 flights in the New York City area. 

Freeze alerts were raised as far south as Florida, where the National Weather Service warned of 'scattered to isolated falling iguanas from trees' as plunging temperatures temporarily paralyzed the large lizards, which can weigh up to 20 pounds.  
'Heavy snow and powerful winds will spread from the Mid-Atlantic coast to the Northeast coast throughout the day,' the NWS said in a flash bulletin.

Blizzard warnings are now in place for more than 10 million people, mostly in coastal areas from Maryland to Maine, while some 55 million more are under winter storm warnings. 

Parts of 10 states and some major population centers - Philadelphia, New York and Boston - were in the path of the storm, which was expected to continue raging throughout the day. 

Boston, in the nor'easter's crosshairs, could get as much as two feet of snow. 

Isolated pockets nearby could get as much as three feet, forecasters said. Winds gusted as high as 70 mph on Nantucket Island off Massachusetts and over 60 mph elsewhere in eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
