There were cancelations and delays at Newark Liberty International, Chicago’s O’Hare International, San Francisco International, and Seattle-Tacoma International as well.
A total of 777 flights in the U.S. were canceled as of Sunday afternoon, according to FlightAware, while 3,891 were delayed.
About 9% of flights by

were cancelled, according to FlightAware, while 21% of
Alaska Air
Group flights and 9% of
JetBlue
flights were canceled.
JetBlue
and Alaska Air were waiving change and cancellation fees and fare differences for travelers affected by the storm in the Northeast, according to their websites.
Heavy snow blanketed parts of the interior Northeast, including more than a foot of snow in some areas. Another storm was working its way east across the West and Plains states.
Weather forecasters were also warning of another storm for the Northeast on Tuesday that could bring drenching rain, coastal flooding, and powerful winds.
