A severe winter storm has unleashed travel chaos across the United States, prompting airlines to issue widespread warnings of cancellations and delays at some of the nation's busiest airports. Sunday is anticipated to be a particularly brutal day for travellers.
The National Weather Service reported on Saturday night that extensive snow, sleet, and freezing rain threatened nearly 180 million people – more than half of the US population – along a vast stretch from the southern Rocky Mountains to New England. Following its sweep through the South, forecasters predict the storm will advance into the Northeast, bringing an estimated 30 to 60 centimetres (1 to 2 feet) of snow from Washington through New York and Boston.
