New York (AFP) - A severe United States winter storm expected to bring blizzard conditions from Washington to New York has forced postponement of an NHL game Friday and two NBA contests set for Saturday.

Historic snow levels and high winds were in the forecast for the US capital and moving to the northeast.

The Anaheim Ducks game that had been planned for Friday at Washington, which had already been moved two hours ahead to try and miss the storm, was postponed to an undetermined date.
