Winter storm Luna hits Northeast, cancels flights
A winter storm, dubbed, Luna, blustered into the Northeast Monday, icing roads and cancelling flights at Newark, LaGuardia, Dulles and Philadelphia. The storm was predicted to be short-lived but created Monday morning commute issues all along the Eastern seaboard. Warmer weather moving into the area is predicted to curtail any lasting Luna issues.

Here is the list of affected cities and airports:
- New York Kennedy (JFK)
- New York LaGuardia (LGA)
