Snowstorm in East Throws Holiday Travel into Turmoil

NEW YORK) — A powerful East Coast blizzard menaced would-be travelers by air, rail and highway Monday, leaving thousands without a way to get home after the holidays and shutting down major airports and rail lines for a second day.

Buses were stranded on snowed-in highways and passengers in New York City spent a cold night stuck in an unheated subway train.
