A monster snowstorm hits US East Coast, 7600 flights cancelled
A monster snowstorm that could bury the American capital under more than two and a half feet of snow swept across the US EastCoast with 85 million residents in its path, bringing the region to a virtual standstill. Governors in at least 10 states -- Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky -- declared states of emergency Friday as the snowstorm began. With the weatherman warning that the epic storm dubbed "Snowmageddon 2016" would last for 36 hours until early hours of Sunday, travel was disrupted in at least five major airport hubs, with over 7,600 flights cancelled on Friday and Saturday. The ripple effect extended to Los Angeles International Airport, with 86 cancelled arriving and departing flights, according to CNN.
