Continental Airlines flight 3306 from Toronto casts a shadow over a snow covered parking lot as it approaches Newark airport in Newark, New Jersey, March 3, 2009. A massive late winter snowstorm pummeled the Northeast on Monday, grounding hundreds of flights, causing spinouts on highways, delaying trains and buses and closing school for over a million children from South Carolina to Maine. At the three major airports serving New York City, more than 900 flights were canceled _ a majority of all flights at Kennedy, Newark and LaGuardia, according to the Port Authority.
