Major winter storm paralyzes US transportation network with thousands of flight cancellations. Over 7,000 flights have been cancelled across the United States since Monday as a powerful winter storm batters the northeastern region from Maryland to Maine. New York City airports saw between 19.8 and 27 inches of snow accumulation, while Providence's airport recorded a staggering 38 inches. Nearly half of all departures at major New York airports were cancelled on Tuesday alone. Beyond aviation, Amtrak and bus services face significant disruptions along the northeastern corridor. All major carriers including American Airlines, Delta, United, and Southwest have issued travel waivers allowing passengers to change flights without fees. Travelers are urged to contact their airlines directly for updated flight status and check with transportation providers for service adjustments.
