US airports affected by snowstorm

Friday, 31 Oct, 2011 0

US airports have seen delays and closures after a snowstorm hit the East Coast over the weekend.

The Teterboro airport in New Jersey was closed for a few hours and delays were reported from John F. Kennedy, Newark, LeGuardia and Philadelphia airports.

Massachusetts was the worst hit with more than 68cm of snow, as more than three million homes lost their electricity supply across the area.

The snowstorm was blamed for at least 11 deaths, and states of emergency were declared in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and parts of New York.

The snowfall eased on Sunday, as the storm headed north from Maine.
