Snowstorms kill 11 in US

Last updated at 13:18 08 December 2003

At least 11 people have been killed in snowstorms across America.

Airports in the north east were forced to close and thousands of residents were left without power after the three-day storm battered the US coast - causing high winds, heavy surf and steady snowfall of up to 2.5 cm an hour.

Hundreds of travellers were left stranded as airports refused to allow planes to take off and power was lost.

Logan International Airport in Boston, New England's busiest, re-opened only one runway on Sunday afternoon and roughly 20,000 homes had no power in eastern Massachusetts.

The storm has been blamed for a handful of deaths. In Massachusetts one person was killed by a train while clearing snow near the tracks.

'It is still snowing and the northern parts of New England are going to get a lot more before this blows out to sea,' said National Weather Service meteorologist Charlie Foley.

With the Boston area facing as much as 40cm of snow and wind gusts of up to 45mph, travellers are being warned to stay at home or carefully plan their journey.

'The wind is the wild card. A lot of schools will be closed tomorrow and that takes some buses off the road but it may still be bad,' said Peter Judge, public affairs officer at the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
