Airlines were canceling thousands of flights on Wednesday as snow and freezing rain crippled the U.S. Northeast and Midwest for the second time in a week.
U.S. airlines canceled more than 2,800 flights. The disruptions come in addition to 1,600 cancellations Tuesday and 2,100 on Monday, according to flight tracking site FlightAware. Fliers should get a break on Thursday, with few flights expected to be affected by weather.
Most of Wednesday's canceled flights were from the New York-area airports, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington.
United Airlines said the disruptions also affected flights in the Midwest, including Chicago and Cleveland.
Across the eastern half of the U.S., the storm was canceling classes, closing government and business offices, and causing hundreds of thousands of power outages across the region, just after wreaking similar havoc in the Midwestern heartland on Tuesday.
Icy conditions knocked out power to more than 600,000 customers in Pennsylvania. Falling trees became a hazard for motorists.
