Throughout the US, hundreds of flights have been cancelled as the country braces for a major winter storm that is set to put millions of Americans in the path of heavy snow and freezing rain.
The storm threat comes days after fierce winter weather engulfed the northeastern part of the United States, dropping more than 2 feet (60cm) of snow on some areas and packing high winds, prompting more flight cancellations and curtailing access to the roads in some states.
