Over 1,400 US flights canceled after winter storm in Northeast
About 1,400 US flights were canceled on Sunday after the northeastern part of the country was walloped by a fierce winter storm a day earlier, with much quieter weather expected on Sunday.
Several US states had declared emergencies in response to the storm, which formed in the Atlantic Ocean off the Carolinas and was forecast to continue depositing snow into Sunday morning as it moved north to Maine.
The total number of flight cancellations within, into, or out of the United States was about 1,415 as of 1:30 p.m. ET (1830 GMT), according to flight-tracking website FlightAware.com. Another 1,241 US-related flights were delayed, the data showed.
