Blizzard chills end of U.S. holiday shopping season - Yahoo! Finance: "A major snowstorm on the U.S. East Coast kept many shoppers home just after Christmas, casting a pall on the final act of the holiday sales season.
The weekend's blizzard conditions, which shut down airports and halted traffic, also weighed on U.S. store chains that sought an extra boost from post-holiday purchases.
Analysts said the storm broke the momentum of improved holiday sales and could herald an earlier return to consumer frugality in 2011."
