For the second day, the Northeast struggles to dig itself out from the weekend’s blizzard on this day. Many of the travelers around the United States might cursed the powerful snow.

According to the top source, though all three major New York airports have begun accepting flights again, the three have amongst them canceled a total of almost 1,500 flights.

The flights haven’t fully resumed, because airports are still plowing the gates, and airlines are scrambling to get flight crews in place. Many were left camping out in the airport, the source reports.

Queens resident Natalie Mohanty's flight to Mumbai was canceled at 7 p.m Sunday. She said, "Business class, first class, everyone was on the floor all night."
