Major Snowstorm Paralyzes US Air Travel, Forces Regional Shutdowns
Winter Storm Blair has wreaked havoc across the United States, causing widespread disruption to air travel and daily life in multiple regions. The severe weather event has impacted more than 10,300 flights, with 1,727 cancellations and 3,233 delays reported on Monday, according to flight tracking service FlightAware.
The storm system, one of the year's most severe, has particularly affected the Central and Midwest regions of the country. Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas received approximately 30 centimeters (12 inches) of snowfall, prompting the closure of federal buildings, administrative offices, and schools throughout the capital region.
In anticipation of the storm's impact, the Federal Aviation Administration issued advance warnings last Friday about hazardous travel conditions, citing concerns about strong winds, snowfall, and icy conditions across the northeastern United States and mid-Atlantic region.
The severity of the situation has led multiple states to declare states of emergency, including Kansas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Virginia, and West Virginia, as authorities work to manage the storm's impact and ensure public safety.
