Blinding snow squalls and dangerous cold have gripped the US as an estimated 112.7 million people are set to travel over the Christmas period.
| A monstrous once-in-a-decade winter storm is battering a huge swath of the central US with snow and frigid temperatures, making a mess of highways and cancelling thousands of flights as the holiday travel season peaks.
“It is a really impressive system,” said Ashton Robinson Cook, a forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Centre. “It is something that happens only every one or two decades.” Breakers as high as 5 metres could crash into the Long Island shoreline, and tides could rise 1 metre above normal high marks, the weather service said. People in flood prone areas should hurry to protect their lives and property.
