The winter storm that started sweeping over the U.S. on Friday evening and is now slamming the Northeast is making travel close to impossible on Sunday.
According to FlightAware, flight cancellations within, into, or out of the U.S. have reached nearly 10,000 for Sunday, exceeding predictions from earlier in the week and likely causing a ripple effect into the heart of next week.
Almost every major hub is being impacted.
Airports in areas being hit by Sunday’s heavy snow are all reporting an almost fully canceled slate of flights, including Newark (EWR), LaGuardia (LGA), Reagan National (DCA), Philadelphia International (PHL), and Baltimore/Washington (BWI).
As of 9 a.m. EST on Sunday, the only hubs in that area not seeing more than 80% of their departures canceled are John F. Kennedy International (73% and climbing) and Boston Logan International (64% and climbing).
