Nearly 3,000 flights have been canceled in the United States due to a blizzard hitting the East Coast. It is reported by CNN.
About 74 million people live in areas affected by snowfall. Airlines have already canceled 2,800 flights on Sunday amid a massive winter storm set to hit the East Coast over the holiday weekend.
According to the monitoring resource, about 200 thousand consumers are de-energized in the United States, and it is also reported that certain sections of the highway from Florida to the Canadian border are closed.
Earlier in January, it was reported that the plane of US President Joe Biden was caught in a snowstorm upon arrival at Andrews Air Force Base, near the American capital. The American leader was able to leave the liner only 30 minutes after landing: all this time, airport employees cleared the strip of snow. After that, Biden went down the ladder, covering his face from gusts of wind.
