NEW YORK: A second winter storm in less than a week pummelled millions of morning commuters with freezing rain, snow and gusty winds from New York City to Boston on Monday.

Up to six inches of snow was forecast for New York City, where the snow and ice caused a crowded subway train to stall on an elevated stretch of track. Boston, already buried under two feet of snow from a blizzard last week, was predicted to see a foot.

More than 2,000 US flights were cancelled on Sunday and more than 1,000 have been scratched for Monday.

A number of people suffered heart attacks while clearing snow at their house in New York.
