A winter storm is barrelling up the American East Coast, taking aim at New England and parts of Atlantic Canada.
Forecasters predict southern Vermont could get up to 30-centimetres of snow, while Maine and western Massachusetts could get up to 15 centimetres.
“I can’t do anything about, I’ll stay home, enjoy the beautiful day it will turn into, and hopefully by Sunday it all melts,” said one resident.
The Canadian East Coast will likely not be spared either, with forecasters predicting up to 20-centimetres of snow for parts of southern New Brunswick.
The storm is expected to hit southwestern Nova Scotia with high winds and up to 35-millimetres of rain.
The snow storm in New York has left some passengers bound for Toronto stranded at three airports.
GTAA spokesperson said Air Canada has cancelled two flights out of New York’s LaGuardia Airport, that was initially supposed to arrive Saturday afternoon and evening.
From Newark Airport there are two cancellations from Continental Airlines.
Three American Eagle flights bound for Toronto from JFK Airport have also been cancelled due to a ground delay caused by the snowstorm.
Passengers are being told to re-book with their airlines. For more information on cancelled flights, click here.
