An immense winter storm sweeping from Arizona to Maine has already grounded nearly 1,400 flights, turning weekend travel into chaos for countless families and workers.
According to the New York Post report, the colossal weather system, described by meteorologists as potentially historic, is set to batter more than 40 US states with snow, ice and freezing rain, forcing airlines to cancel flights and travellers to rethink travel plans at short notice. At least 1,325 flights were cancelled for Saturday alone as safety concerns grew and airlines scrambled to adjust their schedules ahead of worsening conditions. From major hubs like Dallas-Fort Worth and New York to regional airports across the South and Northeast, passengers are confronting delays, cancelled journeys, and uncertainty about when—or if—they will reach their destinations.
