Winter storm causes thousands of flight cancellations and delays across eastern United States
A powerful winter storm system dumped heavy snow in the Midwest and swept across the eastern United States, causing over 4,800 flight cancellations on Monday and continued disruptions Tuesday. Major airports in Atlanta, Chicago, and New York were most severely affected. The disruptions occurred during an already challenging period due to a partial government shutdown affecting TSA staffing and peak spring break travel season.
