"Widespread snow, sleet and freezing rain threatened nearly 180 million people - more than half the U.S. population - in a path stretching from the southern Rocky Mountains to New England, the National Weather Service said Saturday night. After sweeping through the South, forecasters said the storm was expected to move into the Northeast, dumping about 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 centimeters) of snow from Washington through New York and Boston."
"Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport warned travelers on its website of widespread flight cancellations. Nearly all of its departing flights scheduled for the day - 420 flights, or 99% - have been canceled. Significant disruptions have hit major airport hubs in Dallas-Fort Worth, Charlotte, Philadelphia and Atlanta, home to the nation's busiest airport, as well as New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport."
"If you're already at the airport, get in line to speak to a customer service representative. If you're still at home or at your hotel, call or go online to connect to your airline's reservations staff. Either way, it helps to also research alternate flights while you wait to talk to an agent. Most airlines will rebook you on a later flight for no additional charge,"
A massive winter storm delivered snow, sleet and freezing rain across a swath of the United States, threatening nearly 180 million people.

More than 14,100 flights were canceled nationwide since Saturday, with over 10,000 slated for Sunday, and major hubs such as Dallas-Fort Worth, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Atlanta, JFK and LaGuardia faced significant disruptions. Airlines rebook passengers and advise contacting customer service and researching alternate flights while waiting.
