Weather Creates Holiday Travel Chaos
However, the holiday cheer was dampened by a powerful winter storm sweeping through the northern Plains and making its way into the Mid-Atlantic.
According to the National Weather Service the storm, accompanied by heavy winds, snow, and ice, wreaked havoc on roads and airports across the United States. States such as Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming bore the brunt of the blizzard, facing whiteout conditions that severely impacted visibility and disrupted both road and air travel.
The storm’s aftermath continued to affect travel plans as it moved towards the Mid-Atlantic, causing floods and prompting advisories across New York, Massachusetts, and Maryland.
Flight delays skyrocketed, with over 7,500 flights within or to the United States delayed on the day after Christmas, as reported by FlightAware data.
