More than 5,000 flights have been cancelled as a "potentially historic blizzard" bears down on the US north-east coast.
New York, Boston and Philadephia are expected to be deluged by heavy snow from later today.
Widespread disruption has been forecast — Boston Logan airport will reportedly close this evening until Wednesday and flights to the region are likely to be cancelled or delayed over the next few days.

The former President of the Belgian Senate Anne-Marie Lizin is among the passengers blocked in New York by the blizzard.

It appears that the weather forecasts for New York were largely exaggerated. New York is almost back to normal. But further north it's a different story. Boston is affected (all runways are posted as CLOSED until noon WEDNESDAY), as well as other New England states.
