A powerful snowstorm on the East Coast of the United States disrupted travel by air, rail and road on Monday, stranding thousands trying to return home after the Christmas holidays.Major airports and railways were shut for a second day after the heavy snowfall, which hit New York City, Boston, and Newark Liberty Airport, among other places.
Buses were stranded on snowed-in highways and passengers in New York City spent a cold night stuck in an unheated subway train.
A taxi driver, Shafqat Hayatin, also had to use the night in his car, when snow fell so quickly and deeply that it stopped his car in its tracks soon after midnight.
Officials urged anyone who did not have to force to stay off roads in the region, where high winds pushed snow into deep drifts across streets, railroads and runways.
