Severe Snowstorm Cancels Over 1000 Flights and Delays Hundreds More Across the US

As a major snowstorm hits much of the central and eastern United States, more than 1000 flights have been canceled, with many others experiencing delays. Meteorologists are warning of significant weather conditions that are expected to persist and potentially worsen, complicating ground and air travel.

The main airport affected by the weather is Chicago O'Hare International Airport, where measures have been intensified to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers. According to meteorological services, snowfall could exceed 12 inches in some areas, which may lead to transportation difficulties and additional issues for airlines.

Additionally, many major cities, including New York, Washington, and Dallas, are also expecting significant deterioration in weather conditions. Frequently running trains and bus services are also facing disruptions, further complicating the situation for those trying to leave or reach these regions.

Southwest Airlines reported a large number of canceled flights and is offering its passengers changes in scheduling without additional charges. Other airlines like United and Delta are also advising their customers to check their flight status before heading to the airport.

Experts are advising passengers who had planned to fly in the coming days to stay updated on the news and possibly consider alternative travel plans. However, as meteorologists state, the snowstorm may continue, and passengers should anticipate delays.

Emergency services and local municipal services have also been prepared to respond to worsening conditions. Cities have activated snow removal plans and devised safety measures to protect residents.

In light of all these events, officials are urging citizens to remain in safe places and avoid unnecessary trips if possible until weather conditions improve.
