### Blizzard Brings Widespread Flight Disruptions Across the US
The blizzard that’s been battering the Northeast has brought a whole lot of chaos to the skies, with nearly 6,000 flight cancelations and 13,000 delays reported so far. But it’s not just the big airports in the Northeast that are feeling the pain – airports as far south as Washington, D.C.’s Ronald Reagan, Chicago’s O’Hare, Atlanta, Orlando, and Fort Lauderdale are also experiencing significant disruptions.
The storm started on Sunday, with 4,001 flight cancelations and 24,341 delays reported, bringing the total number of cancelations to nearly 10,000. And while the storm is expected to finally stop dropping snow later today, FlightAware reports that we’re still looking at 1,684 cancelations and at least 669 delays.
So, if you’re thinking of traveling today, you might want to think again. Many of the airports experiencing the largest number of cancelations are the ones you’d expect – JFK, LaGuardia, Boston Logan, Philadelphia, etc. But some of the airports with the most cancelations are a little further from the Northeast than you might first think.
In fact, Charlotte is currently looking at more than 70 canceled flights. That’s a long way from the snow-covered streets of Manhattan, but it just goes to show how interconnected the air travel network is. So, even if you’re not in the Northeast, your travel could still be disrupted.
The storm is expected to bring a lot more snow and ice to the region over the next 24 hours, so it’s not just the flights that are going to be affected. Road conditions are expected to be hazardous, and many schools and businesses are already closing for the day.
So, if you’re planning on traveling today, be sure to check with your airline and check the latest weather forecast before you head to the airport. And if you’re not planning on traveling, well, you might want to just stay inside and enjoy the snow day.
