Travelers across the United States are facing a chaotic start to the week after a powerful winter storm caused widespread disruptions nationwide. The system, which brought heavy snowfall, ice, and freezing temperatures, led to thousands of flight cancellations and delays, marking one of the most severe transportation disruptions since the pandemic.

On Monday alone, around 3,500 flights were canceled, as airlines worked to reorganize operations following weekend disruptions. Major airports such as Newark, LaGuardia, and Washington’s Reagan National were among the hardest hit, while ice-covered roads made ground travel extremely dangerous.

What should travelers expect in the coming days?

Passengers should anticipate continued disruptions and allow extra time, as airports and highways may remain affected by the storm’s aftermath throughout the week.
