Snow blasts US Northeast

Parts of the upper Northeastern U.S. got slammed with a major snowstorm over the weekend.

Snowplows in Massachusetts and Connecticut were working overtime to clear snow and ice from the roads.

Some people tried to push their cars out of snow drifts.

The fast moving storm stretched from MIssouri to Maine and was responsible for almost 1,000 flight cancelations at airports from Chicago to New York.

The winter weather is expected to continue through the early part of next week for much of the East Coast.
