THE East Coast of the United States from Philadelphia to New York City to Maine braced on Monday for a potentially historic blizzard that forecasters say could dump up to three feet of snow on the region and snarl transportation for tens of millions of people.

The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a blizzard warning for the northern section of the East Coast from Monday afternoon, putting states from New Jersey to Indiana under winter storm watches and advisories until Tuesday. Airlines cancelled nearly 1,800 flights.
