Freak snowstorms have hit America’s East coast.

Some say Mother Nature played a Halloween trick on 60 million people. Only four times in the last 135 years has New York’s Central Park seen snow this early.

The blizzards caused power cuts and some deaths as roads became treacherous.

More than a thousand flights were cancelled with some passengers trapped on grounded planes for hours.
