Starting early Sunday, the blizzard blanketed the region in between one and two feet (30-60 centimeters) of snow, driven by gale force winds and lightning storms that sent temperatures plummeting. The National Weather Service said blizzard warnings remained in effect from Maine to New York, but the storm was due to move north out of the area later on Monday. That was of little comfort to the millions of travelers stranded during the busiest transport season of the year. Some 2,000 flights were cancelled, compounding the misery of international passengers already seeing disruptions due to snow in Europe. The New York area was especially hard hit, with John F. Kennedy International Airport, La Guardia Airport and Newark International in New Jersey closed Sunday and overnight. They were initially expected to reopen by 4:00 pm (2100 GMT) on Monday, but that was pushed back as experts confronted the scale of snowfall and continued high winds. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, JFK was due to open at 6:00 pm (2300 GMT), but there was no firm time for La Guardia or Newark. Other airports in the region, including Boston, were open, with delays at Philadelphia. The Amtrak rail network said it was resuming limited service between New York and Boston after blizzard conditions halted trains along the heavily used corridor for 13 hours. "Due to the residual effects of the storm, passengers should still expect delays on travel throughout the day and allow for ample time to arrive at their respective stations," Amtrak said in a statement. Service between New York and Washington, however, "continues to run normally," the train company said. In six states -- Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Virginia -- governors called up a total of 430 National Guard troops to help civilian authorities get life back to normal. New York's municipal services came under some criticism on local television stations as ploughs and salt-spreading trucks made slow progress clearing the usually teeming city streets. The commuter line between the city and Long Island was paralyzed, as were portions of the city bus and subway systems, with ice and snow blocking tracks. Roads were only marginally better. Manhattan streets were deserted except for occasional pedestrians struggling to keep their footing and a trickle of slow-moving vehicles. "Our sanitation crews worked through the night but road conditions are bad and there are service interruptions and delays on mass transit. To keep the roads clear for plows and emergency crews, I encourage New Yorkers to avoid driving," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. Nearly 60,000 Massachusetts residents were without power late Sunday after the storm plowed across the northeastern state, The Boston Globe reported. Governor Deval Patrick had earlier declared a state of emergency. The heavy snow also forced the National Football League to postpone an American football game for the second time in three weeks -- this time for the Vikings-Eagles face-off in Philadelphia. The inflatable roof of the Minnesota Vikings' Metrodome collapsed during the last major storm earlier this month. Americans in the southern United States were meanwhile treated to a very rare white Christmas, with light to moderate snow blanketing communities in Alabama, Mississippi, and North Carolina. Atlanta, Georgia enjoyed its first white Christmas in 128 years. Officials in eastern Canada said they were bracing for the storm, which was expected to arrive in Nova Scotia later on Monday.
