Winter Storms Cause Widespread Flight Disruptions Across the Northeast
February 17, 2025 - 19:23
More than 2,000 flights at major airports around New York and Washington, DC, faced delays on Sunday due to severe winter storms impacting the region over the Presidents Day weekend. The inclement weather, characterized by heavy snowfall and strong winds, created hazardous travel conditions, prompting airlines to adjust their schedules significantly.
Airports such as John F. Kennedy International, LaGuardia, and Ronald Reagan Washington National experienced the brunt of the disruptions, as passengers navigated through long lines and crowded terminals. Many travelers found themselves stranded or forced to rebook their flights in the wake of the storm.
In addition to the flight delays, road travel was also affected, with numerous accidents reported on icy highways. Authorities urged residents to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improved. As the storm moved through the region, meteorologists predicted a gradual clearing, although lingering effects on air travel were expected to persist into the following days.
