By Brendan O’Brien (Reuters) – A potential blizzard was heading toward a wide swath of the U.S. East Coast on Sunday, prompting weather alerts and storm warnings from New Hampshire to Philadelphia, the National Weather Service said. A blizzard watch will go into effect on Monday afternoon for Boston and New York City, where the government’s severe weather website warned residents of a “potentially historic storm” that may bring up to 2 feet (61 cm) of snow. The severe weather also led to winter storm warnings and advisories in states stretching from Maine to Indiana, an area where more than 60 million people live, the weather service said. American Airlines has canceled a handful of flights, including a Monday flight from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to London’s Heathrow airport and one scheduled to depart on Monday from Heathrow to New York, spokesman Matt Miller said.
