Snow storms forced hundreds of flight cancellations at US airports Sunday, creating travel misery for thousands of Christmas travellers just as conditions in Europe began to ease.
As hundreds of passengers trapped by freezing weather in Paris and Brussels returned home after European flights resumed normal service on Christmas Day, it was the turn of those in the United States to shiver and face disruptions.
At the other end of the spectrum, Moscow's main airport was also closed to international traffic as unseasonably warm weather produced hail storms that wreaked havoc on the roads, downed transmission lines and terrified shoppers.
Across the Atlantic, the north-eastern part of the United States was expected to bear the brunt of 'dangerous' blizzard conditions and dumps that could approaching 60cm in the Boston area.
Crews pre-treated roads with salt and prepared emergency vehicles in Washington, which was paralysed for days by record snowfalls last year.
The capital looked set to escape the worst of the conditions this time around, but blizzard warnings were issued for coastal New England, parts of New Jersey and New York city. The storm was expected to dump a total of between 22.8 to 38.1cm on the Big Apple as powerful wind gusts blow through the city.
