Airlines cancelling flights as blizzard hits US North East



If you're heading out to New England or the Tri-State area tonight or tomorrow, there's a good chance you're flight has already been cancelled.

A massive blizzard has the eastern seaboard in its sights. Areas like Long Island and eastern Massachusetts may see a staggering two feet (60cm) of snow fall overnight and into tomorrow. Forecasters say it could be a historic storm.

Boston Logan has confirmed that it will be cancelling all flights after 7pm this evening as a precaution.

Both Pearson and Billy Bishop are already showing numerous cancellations on their boards for Boston and New York City. They advise passengers to contact their airline before they head out to confirm if their flight is still operating.

If you're riding the rails instead, Amtrak says they are monitoring the situation and advised passengers to check with their website before heading to the station.

Which ever way you chose to travel, it's not going to be a great couple of days. Might well just stay home, get some hot chocolate, and veg out.
