Passengers are encouraged to check with their airlines for updates and consider rescheduling their travel plans as the winter storm continues to affect the region.
Earlier last week, powerful winter storm swept across central and southern states to the East Coast, creating dangerous travel conditions, power outages, and widespread disruptions. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures caused schools, businesses, and government offices to shut down across multiple states.
The storm stranded over 600 motorists in Missouri and triggered hundreds of accidents in Virginia, Indiana, Kansas, and Kentucky. State police in Indiana reported 259 crashes by midday Monday, while Kentucky troopers dealt with 170 accidents and assisted over 280 stranded drivers. In Maryland, police responded to 123 crashes and numerous disabled vehicles.
Air travel was heavily impacted, with more than 800 flights delayed or canceled at Washington, D.C., area airports, including Reagan National and Dulles International. Chicago O’Hare saw 730 flights affected, while icy conditions shut down routes into Cincinnati, which recorded a record 8 inches of snow.
