Low temperatures, high winds and a bit of snow interrupted holiday travel plans across the Chicagoland area through the weekend, stopping many at the city’s many travel hubs from making it home for the holidays.
Hundreds of flights were canceled at Chicago’s O’Hare and Midway airports, and CTA, Metra and Amtrak trains saw delays through the weekend after the area saw its coldest December day in nearly 40 years. Seven Amtrak lines connected to Chicago saw cancelations Sunday, according to officials with the rail service.
