BAD WEATHER FORCES FLIGHT DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS

Air and ground transportation disruptions continued along the eastern seaboard of the United States as a result of a major blizzard. The situation has forced the delay or cancellation of hundreds of flights in recent days. Travellers should anticipate long lines at airports as airlines work to rebook passengers affected by cancelled flights and the increase in traffic ahead of the upcoming holidays. Conditions on roads and highways have improved in many areas. However, many schools and offices across the region have closed.
