You knew this was coming: A quick visit to FlightWait. It’s unsurprisingly unpleasant at Chicago, Washington, and New York airports, but, then again, not as bad as back at Thanksgiving.
You can scan the ever-entertaining JetBlue cancellation page here. And here’s a fun webcam image from an Ottawa, Canada freeway.

Hi Paul,
I find it kind of interesting that the North American air travel system (with all its interrelated complexity and economic importance) is only slightly affected by a winter storm at its almost worst (1/3 of the continent, as you point out.)
Various routing technologies, aerospace technologies and risk management tools allow for our current system to handle almost the worst that nature can throw at us.
On the other hand, the system almost collapses over Thanksgiving weekend due to an absolutely predictable, regular and quantifiable traffic surge.
I seem to remember an old science fiction book by Harry Harrison where he describes Man as being more calamitous than any possible “natural disaster.”
