(03/19/07) NEWARK ? While some people dragged themselves into work Monday after a weekend of St. Patrick?s partying, travelers in Newark dealt with a different lingering effect.

The nasty weather that settled on the area over the weekend was still mucking up flights at Newark Liberty International Airport. Several travelers trying to get out of the country were forced to sleep on cots overnight in the terminal. Some have been wandering the terminals since Friday desperately trying to get out of the U.S.

Members of one group trying to get to Israel say they may not catch a flight until Thursday.
