More than a thousand flights were cancelled or delayed across the US Northeast and Great Lakes regions due to snow, as thousands took to US roads and airports during the busy travel period between Christmas and New Year's.
New York City received around four inches of snow on Friday night into early Saturday (Dec. 27) – slightly under what some forecasts had predicted.
At least 1,500 flights were cancelled from Friday night, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware.
But by Saturday morning, both the roads and skies were clearing.
The National Weather Service warned of hazardous travel conditions from the Great Lakes through the northern mid-Atlantic and southern New England, with the potential for tree damage and power outages.
Forecasters said the storm was expected to weaken by Saturday morning.
In Times Square on Saturday (Dec. 27), workers in red jumpsuits worked to clear the sludge and powder-coated streets and pavements using shovels and snowblowers.
