US battered by second snow storm in a week
- 9 years ago
A second major snow storm in a week has hit the US, causing travel chaos across 1600 km stretching from Nebraska to Pennsylvania.
A huge winter weather system has buried the Chicago area under 30 cm of snow, closing schools and causing 1,600 flights to be cancelled.
Forecasters say the storm is particularly slow moving, leaving airports to deal with thousands of stranded and disgruntled passengers.
“Trying to get back today, our flight at 1:55 was cancelled. Unfortunately, we were here quite early because of the weather, and they didn’t let us know until just now. So we’re trying to see. They can’t get us back out until Tuesday,” said one traveller.
