Massive Winter Storm Disrupts Post-Christmas Travel Across U.S.

Over 7,500 flights delayed, protests add to disruptions, and heavy rain expected in the Northeast and New England regions.

Post-Christmas travel across the United States has been disrupted by a massive winter storm that began in the northern Plains and is moving into the Mid-Atlantic, causing flight delays and hazardous road conditions.
More than 7,500 flights within, into or out of the United States were delayed on Tuesday, with Denver International Airport, a major hub for Southwest Airlines, experiencing significant delays.
Pro-Palestinian protests at John F. Kennedy International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport caused additional travel disruptions on Wednesday.
The storm is expected to bring heavy rain and potential flooding to the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and New England regions through Thursday.
Despite the weather-related delays, Southwest Airlines has managed to avoid large-scale cancellations, marking a positive development for the carrier a year after a holiday travel meltdown.
